GUNA Medicines at 21st Century Medicine

We are pleased to offer a new line of remedies at 21st Century Medicine. GUNA medicines are homeopathic / mineral / hormonal / enzymatic remedies which work on specific problems through immune, neuro-hormonal and enzymatic pathways in the body working at the cellular level. These remedies are also very good for metabolic conditions such as insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome. We are having many successful cases with trigger point injections for joint and chronic pain conditions using GUNA injectables. In addition to joint and back inflammation these injections are helping us get better results with fibromyalgia. These medicines are very unique and represent a new development in natural medicine treatments.

Dr. Johnson has attended courses on GUNA medicines, and Dr Pretila is attending a GUNA course this June.

Fish Oil

Many of you may have heard about a recent study from Japan strongly supporting the use of fish oil in prevention of cardiovascular disease and stroke. This data appears to hold even in addition to conventional cholesterol treatments. Accompanied by the research that fish oil can also help with some forms of depression and joint inflammation makes this a very good choice for many patients on a prevention or anti-aging program. Be sure your fish oil has been tested for mercury and heavy metals. The quality of fish oil is very connected to their therapeutic value. Most suppliers get their fish oil from the same place. How much effort they put into the manufacturing process determines the quality and cost. If you have any questions about what brands you should be using, ask your physician.

We have been researching the quality of fish oils and have been using a company which has very high standards. However, we have found that Metagenics has some of the highest standards in the industry for supplements and because it is more cost-effective for our patients, we will be changing to this company.
