Naturopathic Menu of Services

Dr. Harold Maderazo offers a broad array of services used in a variety of combination to design a customize plan tailored to your health goals and well-being.

Naturopathic medicine utilizes the alternative natural options shown below to enhance the body's innate healing mechanisms to repair, rebuild and restore health.

Diagnostic Testing. Naturopathic medicine looks at blood chemistry with a functional or preventive lens -labs are used to assess risk for disease before it fully develops. Diagnostic testing provides crucial health information about your health that will be used as a guide in treating conditions and serves as important markers in assessing health status.

Labs can be "normal" according to standard laboratory ranges yet a person may already be in a disease process. A person can start feeling abnormally while under normal laboratory ranges. Blood test biomarkers are managed using the functional or optimal range before they fall within the pathological or disease range, thus utilizing preventive medicine.

These diagnostic tests are offered:

• Blood chemistry testing
• Salivary Hormone testing (for stress, male & female issues)
• Neurotransmitter testing (for depression, anxiety, ADD/ADHD, PTSD)
• Allergy testing (food sensitivity)

If you already have laboratory testing done with your conventional doctor, Dr. Harold also offers preventive consultation of your results.

Nutrition Response Testing (NRT). The premiere neuromuscular testing that analyzes your body's nutritional needs. NRT is used to design a personalized clinical nutrition program…so a person is taking the right kind of vitamins at the right dosages to supplement the patient's diet in order to bring about improved health. But first and foremost it evaluates the root cause of the stress affecting the body's organs and tissues, checking for food allergens, infectious agents, heavy metal toxicity, and chemical toxins.

Body Restoration Technique (BRT). A technique that balances hormones and corrects the imbalances in the endocrine system without the use of hormones or medication. It involves acupressure therapy through certain acupuncture points. It is used to treat thyroid conditions, chronic pain, menopausal symptoms, adrenal disorders, chronic fatigue, endocrine disorders and stubborn weight loss.

Clinical Nutrition. Along with exercise, nutrition and the therapeutic use of foods has always been a key to good health. The food you eat, or more importantly, the nutrients you assimilate are vital to health. Dietary habits are assessed, according to your lifestyle, genetic make-up and disease risk factors. In the modern age of nutrient-depleted fast food and synthetic vitamins, the body's organ systems cannot repair if they are missing proper and adequate nutrition.

Are the supplements you are taking really good for you? All supplements are not created equally. Many are from synthetic sources, poor quality, and contain junk binders and fillers that actually cause nutrient deficiency that creates an imbalance and weaken the body.

Most people choose supplements based on TV infomercials, store clerk recommendations, or the latest fad or magazine article. Proper supplement dosages should reflect biochemical individuality and specific nutritional needs.

With a proper, individually designed nutrition program, your body can regain its ability to correct itself.

Bowen Therapy. Gentle, non-force muscle and connective tissue therapy that resets the muscular, circulatory and nervous system, resulting in immediate pain relief and muscle relaxation. Bowen helps restore muscle tone bringing relaxation and empowers the body's own mechanism to heal itself. It is used to treat both acute and chronic musculoskeletal pain and injuries, overworked muscles, carpal tunnel syndrome, headaches, TMJ, sciatica and other conditions.

Bowen therapy provides relaxation and thereby supports your parasympathetic nervous system, also known as the "relax and repose" system (the opposite of "fight or flight" or stress system). This technique shifts the body towards a healing and repair mode.

It is a forty five-minute to one-hour treatment that reboots the nervous system. Very relaxing.

Detoxification. An integral part of any healing process (no matter what the disease or problem) begins with internal cleansing and detoxification. You cannot achieve the maximum benefit of any treatment protocol when you have accumulated toxins and metabolic waste in the system or a sluggish elimination and bowel functioning. Alternative wellness care emphasizes getting rid of unwanted substances as well as supporting factors.

Flower Essences & Emotional Release. Improvement in attitudes and emotions are important elements in healing from disease. Dr. Harold uses Flower Essence remedies to help address the effects emotional blockage may have on the body.

Microcurrent (Frequency Specific or FSM).  A technique that provides minute amounts of electricity applied to tissue trigger points. It is used to treat acute injuries and chronic physical ailments, especially useful in damage from motor vehicle accidents, sports injuries and old injuries that have not healed. It allows traumatized cells to regain its capacitance, allowing it to regain its function, thus speeding up healing time. It is used effectively to treat fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue, brain fog, musculoskeletal injuries and pain management.

The frequencies used are changed and adjusted as each frequency stands for a condition or body part. The goal is to find the specific frequency that is exactly needed by the body. For example, your back pain may need the frequency for inflammation on the tendon; another person's backache may be from congestion from the muscles.

This 30-45 minute treatment is ideal for recovery from athletic injuries, gym over-training, a desire to speed up healing repair time, recovery from car accidents, chronic pain, and sore muscles. NFL sport teams and the US Postal Service team of the Tour de France and other athletes have used FSM to heal injuries in record times.

Additionally, the frequencies are used to rejuvenate wrinkled skin as an anti-aging adjunct.

Heart Rate Variability (HRV). HRV is an automatic, non-invasive computer-based test that assesses your fitness levels, the health of your Adrenal (stress) glands, the status of your parasympathetic nervous system (your repair mechanism) and the functioning of the (Autonomic) Nervous system. It shows how the body responds to stress, which determines how well a health protocol will work for you. It provides a score that reports how healthy you are and tracks the progress of your health program or regimen. If you are under a health program or diet and are not seeing any results, HRV may provide important data of how your body works.

Herbal Medicine. Under proper circumstances and in the right dosages, many plant extracts are invaluable effective natural medicines just as they have been used for thousands of years, with fewer side effects than synthetic medications.

Alternative health care individualizes herbal remedies specific to a person's needs and conditions and the seasons.

Korean Hand Energetics (KHE). A needle-free acupuncture (using pellets or magnets) that utilizes acupuncture points to release blocked energy in the body, which causes disease. It affects the whole body yet therapy is focused only on the hands. It is used to release the flow of vital energy along channels (meridians) in your body. KHE is also excellent for controlling pain. It has the added benefit of allowing patients to repeat the therapy at home thereby reducing therapy time and improve outcome.
