Dr. Petre, located in McKinney, Texas, knows that biological care supports the body's natural abilities of self healing and regeneration; therefore, she is on a mission to improve the quality of life for people by creating optimal oral health through quality dental care.  She utilizes safe, nontoxic, long-lasting restorations through conservative dentistry, in a safe, nontoxic environment that takes into consideration the wellness of your whole-body.

 

Dr. Petre has earned accreditation from the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology (IAOMT) for safe amalgam (mercury) fillings removal. The IAOMT was founded in 1984 with the purpose of scientifically evaluating the safety of mercury fillings. Dr. Petre is one of only two IAOMT accredited doctors in the DFW area and one of only 103 accredited in the U.S.   

 

Biocompatibility Testing 

In dentistry today there are more than 5,000 materials used in the restoration of teeth and the oral cavity. Over the last 25 years, the number of people in the United States with allergies and auto immune disorders has been steadily on the rise. For some people, auto immune problems have been linked to mercury in dental fillings and nickel and beryllium in metals used for crowns. The immune-compromised and allergy-prone person cannot be too careful about what he comes in contact with.

 

Dr. Petre believes that other filling materials are less toxic, and we can find out which materials are best suited for each person after biocompatibility testing. This will provide a basis for whole-body health because the materials used in dentistry should not adversely affect the rest of the body.

Can Chiropractors Help Carpal Tunnel Syndrome?If the median nerve in the wrist becomes trapped it will cause Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)
                                                                                             

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS), named from the carpal bones in the wrist that form a tunnel around the nerve leading to the hand, is an injury usually caused by repetitive and forceful movements that result in swelling around the tendons and pinching of the median nerve, causing painful tingling, lack of muscle strength and control in the hand, and pain shooting from the hand up to the shoulder. CTS is a risk to most workers, such as those who work on the computer and also store and assembly line workers, who receive micro-traumas to their hands and wrists on a daily basis due to awkward positioning, forceful and repetitive movements, and stressful activity. 

The usual treatment for Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS) can extend to heavy medication and surgery; however, there are alternative methods of treatment that can alleviate the symptoms and effects arising from CTS. Chiropractic treatment for CTS has been studied against conventional non-surgical medical treatment by Davis et al. and was found to be effective. This offers an alternative to sufferers who are intolerant to ibuprofen, or those who simply wish to avoid treating with medication.

What is the cause of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome (CTS)? The median nerve in the wrist, which when trapped causes Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, connects to the spinal cord through the openings in the bones in the areas around the lower neck. If these bones in the spinal cord lose their ordinary position or motion, this can cause problems in the wrists or fingers. Through chiropractic treatment, these bones can be reset to the correct position and can help to treat CTS.

Chiropractic techniques treat the cause of CTS. If Carpal Tunnel Syndrome is detected early, then surgery can be avoided, and chiropractic treatment is the leading method of non-surgical treatment. Chiropractic treatment usually involves various methods, with a combination of rest, ice, ultrasound, and electrical stimulation, including:

• By chiropractic manipulation therapy of the elbow and upper spine, where the joint's soft tissue undergoes manipulation
• Nutritional supplements in the diet such as B6, a vitamin that has had long-term promotion in its treatment of CTS
• Electro-acupuncture treatment; bracing, a technique that has had extensive success, by limiting extension and flexion in the hand, and with compression on the median nerve may encourage recovery and ease the swelling in the tendons  
• Exercises for the wrist and hand designed to encourage recovery  

 Reassessing the ergonomics of the work place to minimize stress the best way as possible.

Recent studies, such as that by J. Burke et al, concluded that using manual therapy intervention such as soft tissue mobilization (STM) has been found to help improve the signs and symptoms of CTS, with improvements to nerve conduction latencies, wrist strength and motion.

 

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome can become a serious health problem, and if left too long may require surgery. If caught early, chiropractic treatment is a highly effective, drug-free method to ease the symptoms and pain caused by CTS, and provide long-term relief.

 

Stress Relief

Did you know that we can identify substances that causes stress on your body and significantly reduce these stressors?

Internal and external stressors have been scientifically proven to contribute to many symptoms and illnesses. The NanoSRT Wellness System is both an assessment and a therapeutic tool utilized at Health By Hands to help you stop feeling overburdened and stressed by:

• Identifying those substances causing stress on the body (stressors).
• Correcting your body's responses so that future exposure to those substances no longer cause a stress response.

This therapy is safe and effective for adults and children of all ages and is non-invasive, painless, contains no needles, shots, medications, or supplements.

 

The NanoSRT Wellness System is based on Bio-Electric (Frequency) Medicine which state that ALL substances, living or otherwise, possess a unique, measurable frequency.  This system provides the patient and practitioner with a report of findings indicating:

• the substances and group identified
• the level of severity of each item
• whether it is contributing towards a chronic or acute condition.  

 

This amazing therapy utilizes the NanoSRT Focus Therapy Tool to transmit a series of frequencies that are developed as a result of the biofeedback test, and unique to each individual. These frequencies are transmitted via an LED light to various meridian points on the body.   

By transferring these frequencies into the body the NanoSRT Therapy recalibrates the body's response so that future exposure to the corresponding substances now allows the biofeedback measurements (and the body's reactions) to fall within the acceptable parameters.

Your body no longer feels overburdened or stressed by the stressors!

 

Have you tried a holistic approach to pain relief?

Chiropractic Care for Migraines

Find relief with holistic therapies and treatments 

     

Migraine sufferers have to endure a pain that is recurring, severe and can last up to 72 hours. Warning signs such as an "aura", which is a type of visual disturbance, and nausea, sometimes accompany migraines.  

Many sufferers find that conventional medicine and prescription drugs offer little relief from their condition, and many are turning to alternatives methods of treatment in order to manage the pain. One such alternative is chiropractic treatment.

A holistic approach to pain relief, chiropractic treatment focuses on aiding numerous health issues through massage, spinal manipulation and adjustment of the body's soft tissues and joints, predominantly in the back. But is it effective against migraines?

In February 2000, a study published by Dr. Tuchin et al. cited the possible benefits of chiropractic treatment in alleviating or easing both the pain and frequency of recurring migraines. The study used a sample of 127 migraine patients, all of whom suffered from at least one migraine per month; this sample was divided into two groups - one control group who received inactive treatment, while the other group received chiropractic treatment, focusing on aligning and treating specific areas of vertebral swelling and misalignment.

The study concluded that those who received chiropractic treatment experienced subsequent improvement in the duration of the study, showing reduced pain and frequency of their migraines within two months of treatment. The latter group also reported a decline in the need of migraine medications. Further results from the same study found that one in five sufferers from the chiropractic treatment group had a 90% reduction of migraine frequency, while 50% found significant improvement in the severity of their migraines.

Recent studies conducted by R. Bryans et al. published in 2011, concluded that chiropractic care, including spinal manipulation, were found to improve both cerviocogenic headaches as well as migraines. A systematic literature search on controlled clinical trials on the topic of migraines and headaches involving chiropractic treatment, published through August 2009, was conducted using a selection of medical and alternative therapy databases. Research found that chiropractic treatments such as spinal manipulation and massage could significantly help.

 

The Dangers of GMO...Families Need to Know

Genetically engineered grains and produce are on our grocery store shelves and many American families are not even aware of this. The main reason is because the FDA says that you do not have the right to know, so you will not see it labeled on your food;but families need to know! Especially about the major and alarming results from the 2 year study on GMO (genectically modified organisms) by Dr. G.E. Seralini, lead author of the famous French rat study.  

We have all just discovered, thanks to Dr. Seralini, the reason why there has not been any scientific studies for more than 3 months and only controlled by Monsanto (the producer) on GMO. As you will see, the tumors do not appear until after the 4 month. Additionally, it is because to get the seeds/grains from a GMO manufacturer, you have to sign a contract that states the seeds will not be used for testing! It took Dr. Seralini 2 years to get the seeds and then 2 years to conduct the studies/research.     

Have you seen this amazing video (below) where up to 80% of the female rats got massive tumors of the mammary glands, the death rate was 200-300% compared to the controls, and there was extensive damage to organs.   

Due to the graphic nature of this video you may not want to watch during a meal...It isn't for the faint of heart, although, it effectively and scientifically demonstrates exactly what GMO produces.
The dangers of GMO... the proof is in the pudding (well, actually in the rat). 
 

 

What's in the Supplements You Are Taking?
Are your supplements poisoning you...

Do you know if your supplements are healthy or toxic? Unfortunately, most supplements, including those sold to health providers, contain excipients.  Excipients are used in the manufacturing process and are non-nutritive substances in nutritional products.   

 

All tablets have them, most encapsulated supplements have them too.  The list of excipients include an array of substances that are known to be associated with health issues.  The substances are classified as binders, disintegrants, fillers (diluents), colorants, flavors, sweeteners, preservatives, lubricants, flavors, printing inks, glidants (flow agents), coating agents, and emulsifying agents. Some mineral supplements contain heavy metals from the earth.  

 

In order to choose supplements wisely, it is important that you know the facts about these ingredients, some of which may cause health problems. 

 

Flow agents such as: magnesium stearate, stearic acid and calcium stearate.

 

These flow agents are made by hydrogenating cottonseed or palm oil. They are used throughout the supplement industry and added to raw materials in supplements so that production machinery will run at maximum speeds.  These fatty substances coat every particle of the nutrients so the particles will flow rapidly and ensures that production schedules will meet profit targets.   

 

Magnesium stearate adversely affects the normal functioning of T-cells, which are very important for the body's immune responses. High amounts of magnesium stearate act as a immunosuppressor.  Stearic acid, in concentrated doses suppress the action of T-cells, a key component of the immune system. Additionally, magnesium stearate decreases absorption of Vitamin B2, B3, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, and Zinc.    

 

Researchers report that tablets without magnesium stearate have a 90 percent absorption rate, while those laced with magnesium stearate show a 25-30 percent absorption capacity.  This could be very serious for a patient with any health issue, as it would be compounding the problem.   

 

Supplement manufacturers argue that small amounts of these substances do no harm and contend that magnesium stearate is a benign form of magnesium. Magnesium stearate is the magnesium salt of stearic acid, which is also used in supplements for the same purpose.    

 

The question is do we really want even small amounts in our supplements everyday? I mean, the whole purpose of using this substances is a flow agent -- to make the machines go faster. Supplements can be made without these machines; it just takes more time, care, and attention to detail.  

 

Up to 5% of the average 1000 mg capsule or tablet is magnesium stearate.  That's 50 milligrams. Suppose you take 8 capsules or tablets a day. That's 250 capsules or tablets a month or 12,500 mg of this hydrogenated oil, nearly half an ounce! That works out to about 6 ounces of hydrogenated oils a year, from just 8 pills a day.  

 

Many people take more supplements, and ingest pounds of this oil -- while directly inhibiting the utilization of the nutrients they are supplementing. Remember that the oils are for the company's easy and quick production. This only helps them by increasing production time and bottom line; therefore, not doing what is right and best to provide a quality product for the consumer.    

 

Additionally, sodium benzoate and potassium sorbate are used as preservatives in most liquid vitamin products including expensive longevity juice formulas sold n health food stores or by multi-level-marketing distributors. What does a preservative do? It kills everything alive in the product so it can sit on a shelf in a warehouse or store for weeks or months without spoiling.  

 

The affects on humans are noted in a publication from the United Nations Environment Programme and WHO states the following symptoms: Urticaria, asthma, rhinitis, or anaphylactic shock following oral, dermal or inhalation exposure of benzoic acid and sodium benzoate.    

 

Furthermore, the Material Safety Data Sheet on sodium benzoate states -- Ingestion: If swallowed, call a physician immediately; Induce vomiting. Give oxygen or artificial respiration as needed. The Chemical Analysis Data Sheet on sodium benzoate states: Store away from food and beverages.  

 

What do labeling laws tell us? In California and other states, if a supplement contains less than 5 ppm of heavy metals (lead, mercury, nickel, etc) that the manufacturer does NOT need to list it on the label. Due to the fact that supplement manufacturers, for the most part, are numb to the fact that additives and excipients in vitamins and minerals cause health issues, we need to go beyond reading labels to reading the laws.  

 

Labeling laws state that if a product has less than 5 ppm of heavy metals, flow agent, filler, binder (excipients); they also do NOT have to be disclosed on the label. Just because these additives are not listed on the label does NOT mean that the products do not contain them.   

 

Health By Hands Wellness, Arlington, Texas, offers a variety of supplements that have been through a stringent assessment concerning ingredients, manufacturers, and their production processes.
