The Importance of Nutritional Testing
Don't be left in the dark about your health status. Come to this important lecture and learn how our specialized nutrient testing that can benefit you.

Enhancing Your Health with IV Nutrition
The foundation of better health is better nutrition. Your body's cells depend upon nutrients to fuel their energyproducing biochemistry, and those who are active may need additional vitamins and nutrients to maintain health.

It can be used to correct deficiencies, enhance immune function, increase energy and assist in maintaining health. Elaborating on her IV nutrition article in this newsletter, Dr. Kaumeyer will discuss the most common vitamin and mineral deficiencies, the bodily processes in which each vitamin and mineral is involved, pathologies that could arise with the deficiency, and how to prevent and treat deficiencies with IV nutrition.

Lend Me Your Ear -- Treating the Body with Auricular Therapy
Got pain? Trying to lose weight? Have the hiccups? Auricular Therapy, a form of acupressure or acupuncture, provides a scientifically verified means of identifying areas of pain, muscular skeletal disorders and a broad range of medical conditions in the body by observing and mapping the ear. The specific locations that are "mapped" then can be used clinically to relieve pain and pathology in the body through the use of electrical nerve stimulation or by the placement of needles in the appropriate areas. This alternative medicine can also be effective in the struggle to lose weight, in that it can reduce food cravings, control appetite and help strengthen will power. Auricular Therapy is based upon the work pioneered by Dr. Paul Nogier in France. The Clinic's founder, Dr. Hugh Riordan, learned the technique of auricular diagnoses and treatment from Dr. Nogier himself, 25 years ago. Passed on to Dr. Hunninghake, this therapy is one of many unique therapies offered at the Riordan Clinic. Dr. Hunninghake will discuss Auricular Therapy, its background, the technique used at the clinic, and the medical conditions that can be eased with this treatment.

How Vitamin C Fights Cancer
Vitamin C is commonly understood to be an antioxidant. The National Institutes of Health has replicated research done at The Center for the Improvement of Human Functioning which shows that very high blood levels of vitamin C can act as a pro-drug that forms hydrogen peroxide at doses lethal to cancer cells. This pro-oxidant effect is best achieved by intravenous administration of vitamin C. New findings suggest that high oral doses of vitamin C used in conjunction with "redox cyclers" may support and enhance the effect of IVC against cancer.
