Infrared Sauna

FAR infrared heat is a necessary form of energy that all living things require for optimum health. It is the same heat that is produced by the sun and helps the body eliminate toxins. FAR infrared easily penetrates the human tissue, creating a natural resonance with water molecules having enormous therapeutic benefits.

Toxic chemicals are bio-accumulating in our tissues faster than we can eliminate them. It is estimated that the average person is bio-accumulating between 300 to 500 toxic chemicals, resulting in cellular malfunction and mutation. FAR infrared saunas are proven to be 7 times more effective at reducing the levels of these toxins than conventional heat and steam saunas. With almost every American in toxic overload, regular use of FAR infrared sauna is a essential for those interested in reversing disease and improving their overall health.

Weight Loss Injections

When your body carries excess weight its natural harmony of metabolic pathways is disrupted, and there is an increased potential for symptoms and disease expression. What this means is that your body is out of balance, and you need a weight loss solution that not only helps you lose weight, but that also restores the body’s natural ability to keep weight off. The primary weight reduction protocol that we recommend to our patients is the Dr. Simeons HCG Diet Protocol. Most patients experience great results with this protocol alone. However, some patients do benefit from additional support supplements and injections.Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness offers many additional weight loss injections to help you achieve this goal and keep the weight off.

What is an AMP weight loss Injection?

The AMP weight loss and wellness injection consists of B-12, B-6, and Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP). When combined, this injection is one of the most effective and safe weight loss and wellness tools on the market. These injections keep hunger at bay and stimulate fat loss so that you can achieve the weight loss you desire. Whether you are looking for serious weight loss or just want to lose those last few pounds, AMP can help. The synergistic effect of the shot plus a healthy diet and exercise works better together than either one alone.

Adenosine Monophosphate (AMP) directly stimulates fat cells to use their fat stored in the form of energy. AMP increases the generation of energy at a cellular level (from fat) instead of acting as a nervous system stimulat. Clients using AMP have more energy and are less fatigue at the end of the day. Unlike many weight loss products, AMP will not make you feel nervous, antsy, or jittery.

B-12 is an important vitamin for the functioning of the nervous system and formation of blood. It is involved in the metabolism of cells of the body and fatty acid synthesis. It is also used to increase energy levels and gives a physical sense of well being. As your energy levels increase, you become more active and as a result your body will be able to burn more calories.

B-6 is needed to release energy from the foods we eat. Dieters should include B-6 to increase their metabolism. B-6 is a co-enzyme involved in the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins. It also releases serotonin; which controls mood, appetite, and sleep patterns. B-6 is also responsible for maintaining a healthy immune system, protecting the heart from cholesterol deposits, and preventing kidney stone formation.

What is a MIC Injection?

MIC injections are among the best adjunctive therapies that Orthomolecular Nutrition & Wellness offer patients as part of our weight loss treatments.

MIC is an acronym which stands for L-Methionine, Inositol, and Choline. These are lipotropic agents that are believed to support liver function and promote the excretion of fat. L-Methionine is an amino acid. Inositol and choline are cofactors. Together they are able to aid in the mobilization and elimination of abnormal fat deposits.

L-Methionine is an essential amino acid, which means that it is not synthesized in humans. Therefore we must consume methionine or methionine-containing proteins. Foods that contain high levels of methionine include cheese, eggs, fish, meats, spinach, potatoes, Brazil nuts, sesame seeds, and some other plant seeds. However, by injecting L-Methionine into the muscle we can achieve high levels in the body’s tissues and this is believed to result in more effective mobilization and elimination of abnormal fat deposits.

Other reported benefits of L-methionine include improvement of liver disease, improvement of skin tone and elasticity, nails, and hair; improvement of cardiovascular and muscular functions through its role in the production of creatine. It has been used to treat premature ejaculation, chronic depression, pancreatitis, Parkinson’s disease, and AIDS myelopathy.

Inositol, also known as myo-inositol, is best described as a carbocyclic polyol and forms the basis for many signaling and secondary messenger molecules. As such it is involved in many biological processes, including the breakdown of fats and reduction of serum cholesterol, serotonin activity modulation, gene expression, and insulin signal transduction. It is not considered a vitamin because the body is able to synthesize it.

It has been shown to be helpful for the treatment of depression, panic disorder, polycystic ovarian syndrome, and fatty liver. It also promotes healthy hair growth and it is important for optimal metabolism and brain function. Inositol deficiency may manifest as symptoms of constipation, high cholesterol, vision problems, and hair loss.

Although it is naturally found in certain foods such as nuts, beans (especially red beans and kidney beans), grains, cantaloupe melons, and oranges, it is more effective in breaking down fat when given as an intramuscular injection.

Choline is a natural amine that is involved in the synthesis of carnitine, cell membrane phospholipids, and the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. It is a major source for methyl groups via its metabolite trimethylglycine (betaine) that participates in the S-adenosylmethionine synthesis pathways.

Food sources of choline include peanuts, soybeans, wheat, chicken, fish, beef, cauliflower, eggs, and lettuce

Cellulite Treatments

Aesthetic Mesotherapy

What is Aesthetic Mesotherapy?
Aesthetic Mesotherapy was started in France in the 1950's. It has rapidly become very popular due to it' safety and effectiveness. Mesotherapy has recently made its way to the United States and is currently provided by some 15,000 doctors across the globe. It has recently been in the headlines with movie stars and popular journals. The therapy is based on the field of Homeopathy, both safe and time tested.

How Does Aesthetic Mesotherapy Work?
Aesthetic Mesotherapy (or Body sculpting) works by mobilizing the fat layer under the skin. This fat layer is what gives rise to unsightly cellulite and flab or pooches in the tummy. By using tiny injections into this layer we are able to move the fat and toxins and improve the local sluggish metabolism. We use very diluted amounts of natural substances mixed with small amounts of procaine (a numbing agent like at the dentist.) This helps to manipulate the fat layer and induce localized fat loss thereby providing the sculpted appearance.

The Different Types of Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy can be used for Body sculpting or shaping body parts affected by excess and stagnant fat deposits. It is very effective in alleviating cellulite or orange peel skin. It does this well and the effects are quick and safe. Mesotherapy can also be used on the arms, legs, and torso for simple fat removal such as the tummy pooch. It has been used on the face for bags under the eyes. Revitalizing the skin of the face with Mesotherapy can help to reduce wrinkles and creases. This Mesotherapy facelift is good to generally tighten up sagging skin.

Aesthetic Mesotherapy Versus Plastic Surgery or Liposuction
Plastic surgery and liposuction are very invasive and require an operating room and major anesthesia. It is major surgery and has all the setbacks of the same. These include pain, prolonged postoperative recovery time, major bruising, and a greater potential for adverse side effects. Aesthetic Mesotherapy is minimally invasive using only very small injections and has all the benefits with only minor side effects, if any.

Pain Control with (Non-Aesthetic) Mesotherapy
Mesotherapy is useful in control of pain that is of musculoskeletal origin or pain that is visceral (heart, lungs, stomach, uterus, ovaries, etc.) in origin. It helps by manipulating the matrix which allows pain relief by healing the nerves connected to the pain. This matrix lies directly below the skin and is the handle by which the internal organ pain and the musculoskeletal pain are eliminated. It has been used extensively to treat pain problems with success. Better yet it is done without surgery so recovery is much quicker. This procedure is done in the doctor=s office without any general anesthetic. It is simple, safe, and effective.

Side Effects and Safety
Because Mesotherapy is so safe, there are almost no side effects of which to speak. Common side effects may be soreness or bruising at the injection site. These usually resolve within 48 to 72 hours. Rarely, bruising may last longer. There are no complications or adverse side effects. The remedies that are injected are mostly homeopathic and derived from plants, minerals, and vegetables. There is a small amount of an anesthetic agent that is metabolized locally in the fat so that none, if any, ever goes into the general circulation.

How Long Does Mesotherapy Last?
Mesotherapy regimens usually require several sessions to achieve the desired degree of Body sculpting. The number of sessions can vary according to the individual and the amount os sculpting to be done. More sculpting or more body parts will require more sessions. The Body sculpting effects may be seen as soon as the first week after treatment. Usually eight to 12 sessions are necessary, more or less depending on the situation. How long the Body sculpting last is also variable. Some individuals may achieve a long-lasting effect while others may require periodic tune-up at three month intervals. This depends on an individual's metabolism, lifestyle, weight, eating habits, exercise, and environment.

Aesthetic Mesotherapy Is Not a Treatment for Obesity
Aesthetic Mesotherapy is a technique to obtain Body sculpting but not major weight loss. For major weight loss, Mesotherapy would not be enough. If you need major weight loss, we can design a program that will help you achieve your goals. This may still include Mesotherapy but will include other therapies as well. We have been supervising weight loss and designing individually tailored weight loss programs long enough to be very successful. Weight loss programs need to include elements of nutrition, exercise, and life style modification.

Getting Started!
This is the simplest part! Dr. DeCosmo will do a complete evaluation and then design a specific Aesthetic Mesotherapy program designed to help you achieve your goals. After that, the therapy begins, and you will start to see results. Mesotherapy can help you get the results you want quickly, safely, and effectively!
