BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONE
REPLACEMENT THERAPY
Dr. Alan Bain is a very strong proponent of the utilization of bio identical hormones. It is his belief that the environment in which we live is becoming more and more toxic day by day. As chemical plants are emitting more toxic waste and as more and more pesticides are being used, the burden on our bodies is getting more and more cumbersome and problematic. As a result, the person’s hormones become out of balance as this toxic burden builds higher and higher. Doctor Bain will perform special evaluations to check for levels of various hormones including progesterone, estrogen, testosterone and even thyroid hormones as well. It is through this analysis that Doctor Bain will then be able to prescribe exactly the right type of natural hormonal intervention.
The key in this process is to use only bio-identical types of hormones in the correct dosages with the intention of helping the patient to regain their strength and vitality. Other stressors will be evaluated and sought out so as to use the least amount of needed intervention and the maximum amount of dietary and environmental aid and analysis to help the body become less burdened with its toxic metabolites and stressors.
Dr. Bain will take a detailed history so as to fully understand the specific individual needs of the patient. He will then apply convergent types of therapeutic interventions at the correct and proper time for the patient. This might include acupuncture, special dietary manipulation along with the carefully guided use of bio-identical hormone replacement therapy.
Cancer
Cancer is a very unique illness. Chicago Health And Wellness Alliance offers a unique opportunity to help the patient by replenishing the metabolic and energetic deficits that Cancer creates in a person. Chicago Health And Wellness utilizes many bio-energetically driven techniques to balance the patient and provides certain specifically targeted supplements to match and bolster the specific nutritional requirements of the patient. Each patient is different in their physiological requirements and therefore will need unique medicines, herbs, and supplements.
While they are on the road to their recovery, patients will gain a fuller understanding of how they became ill in the first place. They will become increasingly more aware and more independent in helping themselves achieve strength and vigor.
A complete history and physical will be taken regarding the diagnosis of the patient, how it was ascertained and how it was or is presently being treated. A complete nutritional and medical history will also be taken. Most importantly, an emotional, and sometimes a spiritual, assessment will also be necessary to determine the strengths and the reserve emotional capacity of each patient.
Dr. Bain takes a family history that is also of paramount importance in helping the patient achieve a more lasting and fulfilling recovery. Contained within this evaluation will also be a stress assessment of the patient and his/her family. Sometimes within the family unit lies the key to why the patient became sick in the first place. This could encompass anything from the day to day stresses of the patient to the deeper emotional and genetic/historical underpinnings of the patient’s illness. The family unit is also of importance in deciding how each member contributes to the patient’s wellbeing. For example, a family member might have Cancer as well and exhibit a certain personality trait/pattern that can lead us to better understanding how certain illness characteristics might have emerged.
Autism Spectrum Disorder
Dr. Bain has worked with childhood disorders such as: Autism Spectrum Disorder, and Sensory Integration problems with hope and promising outcomes.He employs various diagnostic modalities as well as other interventional techniques to help your child attain better balance both emotionally and physically.
Some of the special assessments comprise of allergic evaluation, heavy metal analysis, and the utilization of Homeopathic principles. Allergic assessment is of major importance in determining whether or not your child has allergies that contribute to his problem. This is generally done through diagnostic blood tests or screening muscle response testing. Clinical research has found that an increase in heavy metal burden may contribute to those behaviors found in children who display Autism Spectrum Disorders. Dr. Bain will utilize special therapies to help your child rid the body of this heavy metal burden.
Homeopathic Medicine is a European-born technique developed by Samuel Hahnemann in the early 1800’s in which very specially prepared substances are utilized to maximize the energy and overall wellness of the patient. The patient is treated holistically, both emotionally and physically. Dr. Bain utilizes the principles of Homeopathy to best assess and categorize the patient into his/her constitutional type.
Some of the clinical therapies employed are: Osteopathic Medicine and Nutritional Medicine. Osteopathic Medicine is an American born technique of medicine which pays close attention to the philosophy that the structure of the body dictates its purposeful function. Doctor Bain utilizes various techniques including a great deal of Myofascial Work and energetically driven Cranial Sacral Therapy. These techniques will help your child achieve a greater balance with the end result of calming his/her nervous system. Clinical research reveals that modifying a child’s diet will improve behavior. Dr. Bain will assess a patient’s nutritional status with either hair analysis or muscle response testing. If there is a deficiency present, he will encourage utilization of certain targeted supplements and special dietary guidelines.
