Did you know that vitamin D or zinc deficiency are common underlying contributing factors to depression, anxiety, frequent infections, allergies and autoimmune diseases? Or that children with ADHD may actually be suffering from vitamin deficiencies, food sensitivities or problems with their adrenal glands, which make it difficult for them to focus and pay attention? These are just a few examples of the cutting edge, holistic approach that our physicians utilizes in figuring out underlying causes and contributing factors to common medical conditions. They use their knowledge of the latest research combined with advanced therapeutic nutrition to bring healing to many patients who haven't found solutions with the conventional medical approach.
Dr. Taketa-Wong & Associates continues to pioneer a cutting edge approach that combines the latest in scientific research with a deep knowledge of natural medicine. This unique treatment approach has brought real hope and encouraging results to countless individuals and families. This mastery of science and natural medicine is anchored by specialized laboratory testing and is what we employ in the treatment of all our patients, from special needs to autoimmune conditions, women's health, digestive and gut problems, and numerous other health conditions.
With new patients, we review any existing tests to avoid duplication before recommending any additional ones. This is because a patient's medical records combined with a clinical examination are sometimes sufficient for our physicians to make a diagnosis. our doctors are careful to only recommend testing that provides unique insight into treatment options. Many times, an advanced lab test can identify underlying issues that may have previously gone undetected, which can bring about faster healing.
Here's one example: Many children with autism who have aggressive behavior are suffering from some type of chronic pain, often from conditions such as constipation, acid reflux, inflammation in their intestines, and headaches. These conditions are often linked to food allergies or sensitivities, which we will typically test for. Many cases of aggression in autism resolve once problem foods are removed from their diet and the underlying medical problems are treated.
Another example: With Women's Health, we often find that PMS symptoms, heavy and/or painful periods, menstrual headaches and migraines, menopausal symptoms (hot flashes, vaginal dryness, mood swings, etc.), and many other women's health problems are related to undetected imbalances in liver function, hormones, thyroid function and so on. Specialized laboratory testing can reveal these underlying mechanisms, leading to precise, effective treatment.
