PROTOCOLS
Disclaimer
There are a lot of protocols out there with many claims. We would like to caution you to evaluate each carefully and completely. Please know we have placed them here to share our research and make it readily available to you. We strongly advise that you consult with your physician before starting any protocol. Our personal belief is in combining the traditional and alternative approach to treatment. We like to particularly emphasize the combination of Mind, Body & Spirit.
