Medical Doctors

Have you ever wondered what caused your symptoms?
Have you ever wished your doctor:

  • Had the time to listen to you?

  • Knew about something besides the latest drugs for your symptoms?

Our medical doctors listen. They know that disease is nature's effort to correct conditions that resulted from a violation of the 8 Natural Health Laws. Wouldn’t it make sense to find out what natural health laws are being violated and then obey those natural health laws, in order for health to take the place of disease?

Initial Consultation

When you arrive at BHHEC you will have an initial one hour consultation with one of the medical doctors, where he will refer to your Guest History Form and ask you many questions; gathering information about you, your concerns, your symptoms and your health goals. The aim of the initial consultation is for the doctor to gather baseline information about your health so that he can identify the cause of the symptoms you are experiencing and design a treatment plan to manage these symptoms while dealing with the cause. The doctors focus on more than ‘just’ preventative care. They offer therapies that are not drug dependant and will make you well.

Then with the help of a nurse there will be a physical exam where your vital statistics will be measured and recorded. Vital statistics include; blood pressure, heart rate and irregularities, height, weight, BMI, circumferences, respiration rate and temperature. Your blood will be drawn for the standard panel of tests: complete blood count, comprehensive chemical panel (Na, K, Ca, Cl), BUN - blood urea
nitrogen, lipid panel, kidney filtration rate, B12, vitamin D, TSH, HS-CRP. For an additional charge men can have their PSA checked if they request it. While all these tests are standard for guests they will also be tailored to the individual guest’s symptoms and concerns. One guest was quoted as saying “it was the most thorough exam I have ever had with my clothes on.”

Follow Up Consultation

After your initial consultation you will have two 30-minute consultations a week where the doctor follows up on your progress, checks your symptoms, your feeling of health and reduces your medication as necessary. During both these and the initial consultations you can ask all the questions you want and expect reasonable answers. Extra appointments may be arranged with your doctor during your stay, at no extra charge.

How-To Benefit Most

To get the most out of your time with the doctors and from the health program make sure you do the following:

  • Fill out the Guest History Form and mail it back to BHHEC before you come.

  • Bring all your medications with you; the doctor will need to know which medications you are on and how much you are taking and what brands they are. The healthy lifestyle taught at BHHEC will result in your body having less need for your medications and the doctors want to ensure these are reduced, and even eliminated in some cases, as safely as possible.

  • Bring all the vitamins, minerals and any other supplements you are taking.

  • Bring any durable medical devices you use, such as: C-pap machines, walkers and walking chairs or wheel chairs, glucometers and testing strips, etc.

  • Bring all previous lab test results, the more the better, as they give the doctors a history of your health.

  • Bring the film, CD or DVD of any imaging tests you have had – bone scans, PET scans, x-rays, CT scans, MRI, ultra sounds, and any other scans. (If you don’t have the actual images on film, CD or DVD, then bring the reports, but the image is best.)

Research

At BHHEC we are conducting a research project investigating the long term effects of lifestyle and lifestyle change. Our aim is to show that people who change their lifestyle and maintain the change long term experience major reversals in the symptoms and that they become disease free with their bodies returning to a position of optimum health.

You will be asked if you are interested in being a participant in this research project. What this means is that at regular intervals you will receive questionnaires asking about your lifestyle and health. This information is used to track your progress and the impact that a continued healthy lifestyle change is having on your condition.
