Scientific Basis of Chelation Therapy, Intravenous Style !!

One of our chelation patients wrote us:  “In 2001 I had a catheter test at Reading Hospital and was found to have 3 blocked arteries: one 50%,  one 70%, and one 80% blocked.  In 2012 this test was repeated and all my arteries were found to be clear – NO BLOCKAGES.  I have been doing chelation therapy for the past several years, and it appears to have been very successful.  Thank  you Dr. Maulfair!! “   This could be anyone’s result with a program which includes nutrients, dietary recommendations, exercise, periodic intravenous chelation treatments and a good doctor on your side.
Heart disease does not have to be a death sentence or a prescription for invasive surgeries and procedures.  Dr. Maulfair combines the best of both worlds in health care;  he has and does recommend invasive procedures when they are indicated but as  you might imagine that is not very often if you know how to treat chronic diseases for the long haul.  He understands the inflammatory process that underlies heart disease, diabetes, arthritis, PVD and other problems of aging.

This result does not happen with oral chelation therapy – taking the active “amino acid” by mouth.  It does not happen in the hospital with surgery and drug therapy.  Here are the facts that make chelation a winner in the treatment of all things aging and circulatory.  Did you know your heart grows arteries on its own to bypass a blockage?  Medical term is collateral circulation; you will find this term on a report of a catherization but the importance is not discussed with the patient.  Did you know heavy metal toxicity is often found to be the cause of high blood pressure, heart and circulatory problems.  Write to us if you have a cardiologist  who tests for metal toxicity.  Have you decided medicine is foremost a huge business interest?  You will not easily find positive chelation information as it is suppressed actively by ordinary medical system.  Patients of ours have been told by doctors associated with the Reading hospital that if they continue to see Dr. Maulfair they will not be welcome and will be dropped by their cardiologist and other doctors.  Is this compassionate health care provided in your best interest?  In an other area of medicine parents have told us that if they do not vaccinate their children the pediatrician will not continue to see their child.

The arm twisting of the American public needs to stop.  I know… not likely but I am finally fed up and will not be quiet.  I am a Mom and aunt and grandmother and a wife.  I have relationships with people I love and whose health I want to protect;  I am totally and completely fed up by what I hear and see around me.

I am happy for our patients, they have Dr. Maulfair.  Good.  But what about the rest of the world that is so perfectly misled.  What about the people who like to be misled because they want to be part of the group.  Thank  God there those amongst us, like my husband, who do what is right and not what is only popular!!  The scientific basis for intravenous chelation therapy needs no more further study but it will get it and that is fine.  For decades there are people who have benefitted and now is the time to tell your friends and family while we are still free to pursue such a treatment modality.  We have a few months of freedom left in this country, perhaps it is a limited number of months, so be healthy – do whatever you can to become better because it is the only way to defeat  becoming a slave to a medical system gone wild.  Even those connected with “wholistic” or “alternative medicine” have robbed us by claiming oral chelation pills get the results intravenous chelation therapy has proven to provide.  It is the money.  When money is your highest principal you lose your way to the truth no matter what field you examine.

I, for one, am tired of the lies.

 

Who Does Your Doctor Represent? Is it You?

We want to let you know your physician may not be working for you.  Dr. Maulfair is receiving letters from Medicare Provider’s advising him as to which drugs are going to be approved as of January 1, 2013; this letter is specific for a patient and lists the drug Dr. Maulfair is prescribing for her and lists the drug that he SHOULD select.  In the case of one patient currently taking “Advair” he is being advised that as of the above date the covered drug will be “Symbicort”.  Do you think the group that made the list looked at the side effects of the drugs chosen compared to the ones left off the list?  Your doctor should decide which drug based on your history and current difficulty, what if the drug chosen by the list has as a side effect intestional bleeding and you have had bleeding in your digestive tract in the past?  Keep your eyes pealed after the 1st of  January.  You might be told you have to switch medications by your physician if you are a Medicare recipient because your physician is receiving letters advising reimbursement for “Formulary Drugs”;  drugs not on this list will cost patients more out-of-pocket expense.  As part of the changes within Obama Care perhaps pharmaceutical companies negotiated certain provisions.  Dr. Maulfair, as an example often recommends the use of older generic blood pressure medications as they have had years of success and fewer side effects than the newer drugs.  We are being advised to change our prescription practices as of January 1 to accommodate these new regulations.  Make sure you let your physician know what your preferences are or you too could wide up with a group choosing your meds for your doctor.

We are not a “participating” medical practice due to these mandates.  We work for our patients solely. Our practice includes recommendations for dietary and nutrient programs and other body friendly medical treatments which are not normally covered by insurance.  Insurance coverage has traditionally covered doctor visits, surgeries and medications so if you are physician who offers more than those treatments your patients have had to pay out of pocket for your care.  This type of care is usually less expensive and certainly more effective since no one has a deficiency of prozac but might have a deficiency of nutrients including B-Complex, our care is helpful and lasting and people get better and get off their drugs.  When someone is healthy they use fewer health care dollars. Surprise.  You would think the stockholders and owners of insurance companies would catch on but they do not.

People need to wake up to the fact that run of mill medical care is not putting your health first or even giving you the best recommendations.  I cannot figure out why physicians put up with this but they do.  Perhaps it is because most independent physicians are now employees of giant hospital interests with their far reaching community medical centers.  As an employee you do not pay your malpractice insurance premium, the company does.  You see, with the government telling a physician what can and cannot be done for patients when physicians comply and  it goes wrong a patient cannot sue the government, but will sue the doctor.  Your doctor was following the “standard of care” so it will be hard to prevail against him/her .    You realize, I am quite sure, that medical modalities that help you recover from chronic health problems are outside the standard of care, right?  If you have migraines the suggestion that you take magnesium and other minerals and watch your diet are outside the “standard of care”, yet they could actually keep you from becoming a drug addict.

I find it very hard to tolerate the government and pharmaceutical interests telling me what I can do with my own health.  I also think some of this mess is brought on by our own actions or lack of action.  You do not have car insurance pick up the tab every time you need tires or an oil change, yet, people are used to insurance picking up the tab for their doctors visits and meds.  If your employer pays most of your health care premium and you have little out-of-pocket expense when you go to the doctor you may not even know what the visit cost was because you are not paying for it.  Who is better equipped to drive the market place and demand fair prices but the consumer? You support your choices with your pocketbook.  You would not tolerate someone telling you which grocery store, gas station, or your pet’s veterinarian you were allowed to patronize would you?  You would not think you were part of the free American society.  Yet all of us put up with idea that our government supports an insurance company that chooses our doctor based on the list, and the doctor choosing our meds based on the approved list, and we accept the idea that whatever the recommendation it is, it is all that can be done based on what is payed for by others!!!

I want to live in a country where I am free to choose my own physician and my own treatments.  I dread the day when I might be a victim of  a car accident and must accept what will be paid for by the group, I do not want to be told what will and must be done for me.  I was in a car accident, I was told I must have spinal surgery and I refused.  I am pain free and I can walk  just fine.  If I would have accepted the “standard of car” for my injuries I would be on pain meds with rods in my back!  Part of the reason for that is the collaboration between the orthopedic physician (who eventually helped me my way) and an over zealous neurosurgeon.  Join me in supporting freedom of choice in all things including what do to for and with our own bodies.  I am happy with health insurance for critical and acute care and I am happy with health savings accounts and I am willing to suffer financial difficulties to retain my freedom to direct my own life.

Wishing you the best in health,

Coleen Maulfair

Maddening Organics

Truth is hard to come by when you are talking business.  News today includes a study of conventional crops and organics having no difference in nutrient value.  On the face of this it is hard to buy.  If you have better soil and you do not trouble the crop with chemicals that linger and you provide microbes needed for plant health and the plants do better in drought conditions and they taste better to amateur foodies, maybe they are better.  This study was done by Standford University doctors and it states there was no funding from an outside source of the study.  It is published in the Annals of Internal Medicine.
Here is one; we have a study we cite that we like because the author looked at 50 years of  literature comparing the nutrient values of conventional and organic crops.  It was published in 1998 in Alternative Therapies.  That’s right.  The quack rag that has actual unsponsored studies to bring to the doctors who seek this kind of info.  In this case the author is clinical nutritionist who served on the board of the Price-Pottenger Nutrition Foundation.  There was a trend in the data indicating higher nutrient content in organically grown crops.  The author called for further research.  She did note “Animal studies showed  better growth and reproduction in animals fed organically grown feed compared with those fed conventionally grown feed.”

This attack on organics might come from a relationship with a business interest contrary to good food and organics.  Maybe a chemical company.  Sounds just like the naysayers who always say your food is enough for your health needs and that you do not need additional vitamins and minerals.  You know if you have adequate vitamins and minerals and other important nutrients you do not become ill as readily and it cuts across the sale of drugs and trips to the doctors.  Having a strong immune system is better than a vaccination.

I, for one, am a Mom and us moms know something about food and health.  In our medical center I hear people commenting about the benefits of avoiding junk food and eating whole, organic foods.  They are stronger.  After all, people do know their own mind and should rely on their own experience.  I have serious concerns about chemical contamination but more seriously the effects of genetically engineered crops throughout our food supply.

International College of Integrative Medicine is holding a conference September 21-23 where these issues will be discussed.  Check out Diet and Nutrition: What a Clinician Needs to Know about Nutrient Density, Pesticides and Genetically Engineered Foods- Dr. Andersen was first a soil scientist and agricultural consultant, then a physician. He specializes in nutritional management of crops and advises farmers in “building biology.” His book, Real Medicine, Real Health, draws on his wide-ranging expertise to share a vision of healing based on creating a sound body through solid nutrition and a healthier environment.

Resorting to Drugs...

There are so many people who take street drugs and medical drugs thinking it will be for a short while and wind up long down the road with health problems they never dreamed of.  Addiction is just part of the problem.  Damage from free radicals, which are the stock in trade of chemicals, all chemicals, do something to your health.  Combined with pesticides and chemicals in the food we eat someone with a drug problem gets a double whammy.
If you stopped taking meds or street drugs you can benefit by the things we do in our clinic and if you cannot come to see us you can do this; recognize you have health problems apart from just the cravings of drugs.  You crave drugs because traces are still in your body and often dump into your blood stream causing the cravings some  people cannot resist…more drugs is their answer.  But how about this idea… if you feel ill or crave drugs go for  a long walk, a good walk and look at your environment, really look at it.   When you get back drink a big glass of water and make yourself something to eat that is fresh, from scratch that did not come out of a box. 

Free radical damage from whatever source either crowds out vitamins and minerals from doing their health building work or depletes them so badly you have nothing available for normal function.  Either way you are in trouble.  Mood swings, depression, belly aches, headaches all stem from this or are made worse by the fact that you are starving.  STARVING.  Your weight has nothing to do with it.  You are nutrient depleted.  Find a good absorbable vitamin and mineral program and rebuild your health.  While you are learning make food from scratch with a good cookbook and walking everyday and drinking water to help your body shed some of the drug residues you need to find a doctor who can help you in the way that we do in our clinic.  Doctors interested in health are available in most cities or close by.  Check out our website for some ideas about what you can expect and look for the sauna detoxification program if you think you are in trouble enough to worry about reverting to drugs again.  We help people reverse the accumulation of chemicals and drugs.

I was watching videos of some fabulous horses this morning thinking about the two Peruvian Pasos I have loved and who died over the last few years.  For me and many others the sight of a horse doing anything is a high and some of  the videos on-line are so inspiring and beautiful.  When my horses died I was struck by how much these wonderful horses mean to us, for weeks and some months later I would almost turn up the lane to feed them at the barn.  Feeling depressed is normal when things happen in life and I am always grateful for the love of my horses and to have experienced all they gave us over the years, better for me to have loved and lost than not to have loved in the first place.  I am disgusted by the “medical care” that offers drugs in place of remembering and being grateful and shedding a depressed, lonesome tear once in awhile over a loss in life.  It is so much more meaningful to really feel good and really feel bad, I know I am alive and in the game for real, no matter what.  I like it that way.  I want to help others who are made wooden and apathetic by being drugged.  I want to forward the message of true health care free from mind altering drugs because I value emotion and clear thinking.  I want you to feel alive.
