Vitamin andMineral TherapyVital nutrients are thecore of diets in anyhuman society. Thewestern diet, laggingfar behind diets ofother cultures, sadlylacks nutrients vitalto achieving andmaintaining optimumhealth. Even aconscious effort tofollow a strict regimenthat includes fruits andvegetables will notsupply all the nutrientsthe body needs. Oursoil is depleted ofmany minerals. Fruits and vegetables begin tolose their nutritional value as soon as they arepicked. They are stored for long periods of timein your local grocery store and in yourrefrigerator. We over cook them and we simplydo not eat nearly enough of them in our fast-paced world. Every single one of us wouldbenefit in some way from vitamin and mineralsupplementation.

Which nutrients do we need? How much dowe need? This varies greatly from person toperson and depends on a great variety ofpersonal circumstances such as your diet,exercise, sex, age, medications, intake ofalcohol and cigarettes, and many others.

Some of you may ask, “Are my vitamins fromthe local health food store or supermarketsufficient?” Probably not! They are not testedfor purity, dissolution or absorption. You mayswallow them, but that doesn’t mean that thechemicals are getting into your blood streamor that the vitamins contain the amount specifiedon the bottle. Pharmaceutical grade productsmeet the highest requirements of quality.Dr. Akkashian will recommend a vitamin andmineral supplement program specifically foryou using only pharmaceutical grade products.

Hormone ReplacementTherapyBeginning at the age of 35 the body slowly startsto break down. The symphony of hormonesproduced by many glands and organs in ourbodies become depleted and are often timesout of balance. With this change, our healthdeclines and we begin to age at a more rapidrate. The only safe and effective way to slowand or even halt this progression is by usingBioidentical Hormone Replacement (naturalhormone replacement).

Dr. Akkashian develops natural hormonereplacement therapy programs exclusively foreach individual patient. He considers thepatient's physical symptoms and uses state-of-the-art techniques in saliva hormone testing toevaluate and monitor the patient’s customizedHRT program.
