Our Services Free Workshop, “Surviving Stress and Beyond”
Free 30-Minute Consultation The free
consultation helps you discover if Dr. Gertler’s holistic approach can
help you. Before the comprehensive examination, you fill out evaluation forms for the doctor to review, including a detailed metabolic evaluation form. During the exam (1.5 hours), Dr. Gertler uses kinesiological tests and some orthopedic and neurological tests to evaluate the functioning of your body’s eight basic “systems”:
Tests are
performed to determine your levels of stress and vitality—including organ
and gland function, internal acid-base balance, acupuncture circuit
function, and neurologic/orthopedic function—and evaluate your lifestyle
(body type, diet, exercise etc.). In very complicated cases the doctor
uses salivary and blood tests to augment his findings. All these findings
are used to pinpoint the causes of any dysfunction that may be preventing
you from optimal health. Dr. Gertler pays particular attention to the
causes of any symptoms that concern you. Report of Findings The second appointment (1.5 hours) includes an hour-long Report of Findings and a 30-minute treatment. There is no charge for the Report of Findings. During the Report, the doctor explains the test results from the examination. The Report is recorded for you on a 60-minute audiotape so that you may listen to it at your convenience. We find that our patients heal faster with this information on hand because they are better able to track their own progress. Near the end of the Report, the doctor recommends a treatment schedule designed to give you the results you want. Your first 20-30
minute treatment immediately follows the Report of Findings. Treatment Visits Subsequent
treatments are usually scheduled in 30-minute slots, although longer
treatments can be scheduled when appropriate. Fees vary depending on the
actual amount of time the doctor spends with you. Nutrition and Nutritional Supplements Since diet affects health in major ways, Dr. Gertler recommends dietary guidelines for each patient based on his or her metabolic body type. In addition, he recommends nutritional supplements designed to address specific complaints and to support overall health. Activated vitamins (co-enzymes) and minerals (co-factors) play a fundamental role in restoring function to all the body systems. Yet it is not uncommon for a patient to have an underlying allergy to many such vitamins and minerals. N.A.E.T. effectively neutralizes these sensitivities (see below, Allergy Treatments). In addition to
activated vitamins and minerals, a range of supplements are used
clinically to normalize simple nutritional deficiencies or excesses, and
balance the functioning of organs, glands and systems. They include
phytonutrients, ionic mineral solutions, raw glandulars, protomorphogens
(immune repair and support), essential fatty acids, antioxidants, amino
acids, homeopathics for detoxing heavy metals, probiotics, enzymes, herbs,
and nutraceuticals. Supplements are routinely dispensed as needed to
counteract infections, increase energy, restore acid-base balance, restore
neurotransmitter balance, improve digestion and absorption, detoxify the
liver, remove heavy metals, and restore bones, joints, and cartilage. Allergy Treatments Many of our
patients suffer from allergies, and Dr. Gertler is an experienced
practitioner of Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination Technique (N.A.E.T.). Simplified Multiple-Interval Allergy Technique (SMART) In 2001, Dr.
Gertler discovered a way to reduce the time required to treat intense
allergies. Even allergies that previously required 96 treatments in
ten-minute intervals within a 16-hour period can now be treated in only
one treatment. Allergy-Only Patients If you wish to be treated for allergies only, we schedule an initial 45-minute appointment with Dr. Gertler, which includes an examination and the first treatment. Subsequent treatments are scheduled in 15-minute slots.
The EB305 is a
special 25-minute foot bath designed to restore energy and balance while
facilitating the body’s natural detoxification process. The EB305
transmits a form of energy that the body can readily use via a direct
current ionic field similar to heart-generated energy. Cold Laser During treatment, Dr. Gertler uses the Erchonia PL5 hand-held cold laser. The laser has a variety of uses, such as reducing pain and swelling, strengthening muscle tissue by normalizing nerve roots, treating infections, increasing range of motion, and normalizing scars. The EB305 foot
bath and cold laser can also be used simultaneously by the patient at the
doctor's direction to remove heavy metals from a local organ or site.
Heavy metals, especially mercury, block the immune system's ability to
fight infections. Please call 510-652-2302 to make a reservation for our next FREE WORKSHOP. © Copyright 2004 Dr. Larry Gertler. All Rights Reserved.
