Integrative Treatment Options

Homeopathy is one of the safest types of medicine. It can be used in pregnancy and lactation, and for infants. Despite how gentle it is, it is also highly effective for treating very serious illnesses. Homeopathic medicine stimulates your body's natural ability to heal. Rather than suppressing your symptoms like most conventional treatments, homeopathy helps to restore health naturally, by working with your body's innate healing mechanisms.

Homeopathic remedies are made from natural substances, such as plants and minerals. During the preparation process, the original substance is made into a solution which is diluted multiple times. For commercial production, small sweet-tasting pellets are coated with these highly diluted solutions to give them medicinal value as homeopathic remedies.

Homeopathy is one of the most controversial types of medicine, because most scientists do not immediately understand how it could possibly work. There is limited funding for homeopathic research compared with conventional drugs, and many of the research studies have been done poorly, which leads to inconsistent results. If you look deeper into the research that has been done well, you will see that there is something happening on a physiological level that has surprised many of the researchers who originally were skeptics. 

Homeopathic medicines have been shown to be effective in cell cultures, animals, and infants, as well as placebo-controlled trials, showing that it's more than just placebo effect.

What is rife technology? In the early 1930's, a scientist named Royal Rife invented what's known today as the Rife machine. Using bio-frequency to identify the vibration of certain ailments, illnesses, or conditions, the Rife machine has been used all over the world as bio-resonance treatment. Healthy cells are not impacted, while sick or "low vibrational cells" would reportedly regenerate faster when using the Rife machine. Many have stated that through using the Rife machine, they were able to explode various viruses, bacteria, fungi, parasites, tumors, and calcium deposits. The healing power of frequency is an ancient and powerful way of approaching disease and is used well on its own or as a complementary therapy.

People often use rife treatments for chronic infections such as lyme or viral infections, pain, or mental health concerns like anxiety or depression.
