The Get Well Center - Alternative Medicine

      It is no secret that your diet influences your health, including your risk of developing chronic illnesses like heart disease, diabetes, and even cancer. Scientists have found that the development of cancer, in particular, is extremely influenced by your choice of foods. Many foods contain beneficial compounds, like vitamins, minerals, and oils that can help decrease the growth of cancer, so it is ultimately up to us to make the healthier decisions instead of a quick run through the drive-thru. At The Get Well Center , we practice holistic and alternative healthcare, right in Mansfield, Ohio, so we believe that taking precautionary measures by eating well and taking care of yourself is the way to go.      Scientists have found that certain foods contain certain compounds that could help decrease the growth of cancer, and several studies have shown that a higher intake of certain foods could be associated with a lower risk of the disease. Let's go over...

    Colon Cleansing is normally used as preparation for medical procedures such as a colonoscopy. However, colon cleansings can also be used for other things such as detoxification. Alternative medical practitioners, like the ones here at the Get Well Center , offer colon cleansings to help with a variety of issues.       The main procedure is the Wood Gravitational Method . It is an internal bath that helps cleanse the colon of poisons, gas and accumulated fecal matter. Unlike an enema, it does not involve the retention of water. While this is ongoing, patients are also given an abdominal massage to stimulate the colon to recover it's natural shape and tone. There is no discomfort, no internal pressure during the procedure. Just a steady flow in and out of the colon.      You may be wondering to yourself, how is this all being administered? First, the person receiving a colonic lies on a table 18" below a temperature-controlled inp...

With flu and cold season coming up and coronavirus still spreading in the U.S., it’s important to take steps to keep yourself  healthy . Keeping yourself well is certainly better than trying to get well again once you’re sick. In this blog, we’ll go over tips and suggestions to do daily to help ward off sickness. Wash your hands. You cannot wash your hands too much. Also, don’t be in a hurry. Give handwashing the time it deserves to be thorough. The  CDC  recommends washing your hands for a minimum of 20 seconds each time. They also say that hand sanitizer that is at least 60% alcohol-based is acceptable if soap and water is not readily available. Don’t sneeze into your hands. If you must sneeze, make sure you’re sneezing on the inside of your elbow and not on your hands. Even better, sneeze into a tissue and throw it away! Whenever you sneeze, it also couldn’t hurt to wash your hands or use hand sanitizer, too. Washing your hands is the best defense against sickness....

Switching up your diet can make a huge difference for your overall health. According to the  American Heart Association , a more plant-focused diet can decrease the risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and a variety of cancers. Meats and dairy products, especially cheeses and processed or deli meats, can be filled with unnecessary saturated fats. Consuming these foods on a regular basis puts your health at risk. Studies also show that those who typically eat animal products have a harder time getting back into the gym following a workout. Conversely, individuals who eat plant-based diet can recover from workouts at a quicker rate. This is largely because most animal products cause the body to become  inflamed  while most whole foods and plants do not. This information may be unsettling, since many Americans adhere to the traditional western diet of meat at nearly every meal. After all, without meat and other animal products, where would yo...

Prolozone  is a combination of homeopathic, nutrient, and oxygen injection that utilizes the power of oxygen to help the regeneration of damaged tissues, joints, ligaments, and tendons. The solution contains a mixture of B-vitamins, proliferates, and anti-inflammatory medication that is added to ozone/oxygen gas.  Prolozone  differs from other pain injectables, such as Cortisone Steroid Shots. Many patients who receive Cortisone or other steroid shots face side effects, especially with long term usage. Cortisone is a very temporary solution that simply masks the pain versus Prolozone that helps promote healing. Being that there are no side effects and it is a low-risk treatment, Prolozone can be used as a permanent fix to underlying causes of pain instead of just a mask. Patients who are facing a condition related to pain are some of the most benefited from  Prolozone Injection Therapy . Conditions like chronic neck and back pain, arthritis, degenerating disks, carpa...

Food is your body’s fuel, giving your cells the energy to sustain your 11 major organ systems. When cancer therapy enters the scene, your body goes into overdrive as it battles invading cells. That’s why most cancer therapies, though designed to help and heal, make you tired in the process. Your body is fighting the good fight, and it doesn’t want to give up. With the right nutrition, you can dramatically improve your body’s response to cancer treatment–and feel better in the process. You and your team of health professionals have worked hard to target your cancer with the most effective treatment. Why not have your diet take aim as well? Water First and foremost, stay hydrated. Cancer treatments often cause patients to lose fluids through vomiting or diarrhea. Dehydration throws the body out of balance, making treatments less effective as you continue to feel worse. It’s important to prevent that cycle by drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of liquid each day. Remember, if...

Some say that Vitamin C is one of the most important vitamins to add supplementally to your body. It is one of the safest and most effective nutrients, and helps your body fight again eye disease, skin wrinkling, cardiovascular issues, and helps boost the immune system. Despite all of these benefits, the body can not produce its own vitamin c meaning it is that much more important to take it as a vitamin. Being a strong antioxidant is one of the most common reasons people take a vitamin c supplement. Antioxidants are molecules that help boost the immune system by protecting cells from harmful molecules like free radicals. Vitamin C has been recorded to boost your blood's antioxidant levels by up to 30%. That's a big difference when fighting illnesses and inflammation. A lesser-known benefit is the ability to help lower blood pressure. Nearly 1/3rd of American adults experience high blood pressure. By adding a vitamin c supplement you help the blood vessels around your ...

Since no two cancer diagnoses–or the people who receive them–are the same, a  combination of therapies usually yields better results than a one-size-fits-all approach. A holistic specialist who takes the time to get to know you, your body, and your diagnosis can customize treatment to maximize positive outcomes. Even patients already receiving chemo can experience the benefits of alternative cancer therapies by combining them with their existing treatment. Insulin Potentiation Therapy Fight fire with fire by turning diseased cells against themselves! IPT, a weekly intravenous infusion of short-acting insulin, rapidly decreases the level of sugar in a patient’s blood, “starving” the bad cells to death while preserving healthy cells. Not only does this treatment help the body’s natural processes combat these diseased cells, but it also helps medicine get into the body much more easily and in greater quantities than ever before.

Any cancer diagnosis brings a wave of emotions with it: confusion, anger, sadness, fear. You want to do something–anything–to improve your health as quickly as possible and get back to your life.  While it’s important to take action, your cancer treatment will yield better results if you get to know your body before committing to a plan. Traditional treatments like chemotherapy can in fact damage the very body they are intended to heal if selected and administered ineffectively. Before beginning the process, it’s important to breathe, take a step back, and gather all the information you can about what, and who, you’re treating. The Greek Test The RGCC test, commonly referred to as the “Greek Test” because it is performed only in Greece, analyzes your blood sample to uncover a profile for your specific cancer cell type. This profile is then tested against dozens of common chemotherapy drugs as well as natural treatments. These results are used to determine which...

Alternative Medicine Shouldn’t be the Alternative Form of Healthcare When making the decision on how you’re going to approach treatment, it’s important to choose a method that not only works, but stays true to your values. Discovering illness is a terrifying experience, but you don’t have to fight your battle alone. Did you know? The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) found that 38 percent of adults and 12 percent of children are choosing alternative medical treatment. Compared to traditional medicine, alternative medical approaches provide many benefits throughout the duration of treatment for patients. Here are four reasons why natural medicine proves more promising than traditional meds. 1. Healthy body, healthy mind. Alternative medicine sees patients as people, not illnesses. The approach of these methods emphasize wellness as a whole for your body, mind, and spirit. This reduces stress and makes the road to recovery much more s...

At the Get Well Center, we understand that traditional cancer treatments such as cancer can wear on your body and soul. Feeling tired and constantly fighting is hard work. Through pairing alternative treatments, healing and overall wellbeing can be maximized while receiving your conventional cancer treatment. The Get Well Center offers several suggested therapies to pair with other cancer treatment. Insulin Potentiation Therapy (IPT) is one of the most commonly suggested complementary therapies because it targets cell health. IPT decreases the blood’s sugar level with short-acting insulin so it essentially starves the harmful cells with preserving healthy cells. Not only are the diseased cells destroyed, but IPT helps medicine more effectively enter the body. Along with Insulin Potentiation Therapy, treatment plans oftentimes include Lymphatic Therapy. Lymphatic Therapy uses a Light Beam Generator to produce a low current that transfers to cells in the targeted lymphatic regions. ...

Colon Cleansing is beneficial to those who are looking for an increased sense of overall wellbeing. After cleansing the colon can better defend itself from disease, as well as better aid the digestive system. Colonics are a key factor in the body’s natural balance and good health. So what is a colon cleanse exactly? The Get Well Center utilizes the Wood Gravitational Method. The Wood Gravitational Method is a technique of colon irrigation that is often referred to as an internal bath. It helps your colon expel poisons, gas, and residual fecal matter. Water is flowed through the colon in a constant stream. Because of the steady, constant movement on the water, it does not create discomfort, pressure or cause water retention. The flow is controlled by your practitioner and flows into the colon via a small tube. A second small tube carries the water, and any removed substances out. Often times an abdominal massage is given to help stimulate the colon to help release any contents and ...
