Three big mood disorders – anxiety, depression, and insomnia – are experienced by all, but sometimes to a point where quality of life is compromised.

Cranial Electrotherapy Stimulation, or CES, uses simple alpha waves to improve brain function and reduce anxiety, depression, and insomnia. While contraindicated during pregnancy and those with cardiac pacemakers, this FDA approve device is simple with minimal and limiting side effects.  The Veterans Administration and many police organizations use CES for post traumatic stress disorder.

“The Alpha-Stim is a great alternative to medications,” Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician said.  “Drugs have side effects, but the Alpa-Stim is well tolerated, easy to use, and much safer than medications.”

Many medical studies indicate improvement in chronic fatigue, focus, and memory.  CES has shown to decrease chronic pain, especially those who suffer from fibromyalgia.  Attention deficit disorders and addictive personalities have demonstrated improvement as well.  Many dentist use if before procedures to reduce anxiety.

IV Nutrient Therapy
Dr. Birken offers IV nutrient therapy with the Meyer’s formulation.  Developed by Dr. John Meyers, this combination includes many Vitamin B formulations, Vitamin C, Magnesium, and Calcium.  Here is an excerpt from Alan Gaby, MD who uses the “Meyer’s Cocktail” for both clinical and research purposes published this article in Alternative Medicine Review in 2002:
Building on the work of the late John Myers, MD, the author has used an intravenous
Vitamin and mineral formula for the treatment of a wide range of clinical conditions. The modified “Myers’ cocktail,” which consists of magnesium, calcium, B vitamins, and vitamin C, has been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, cardiovascular disease, and other disorders.
The Myers’ has been found by the author and hundreds of other practitioners to be a safe and effective treatment for a wide range of clinical conditions. In many instances this treatment is more effective and better tolerated than conventional medical therapies.

IV nutrition can provide detoxification of harmful pollutants and optimize nutrients that are depleted in our foods or are poorly absorb orally.

Bioidentical Hormone Pellets
As we age, decreasing hormones can cause changes in both body and mind – weight gain, loss of muscle mass and tone, decreased stamina and endurance, chronic fatigue, poor sleep, reduced libido, and mental fog.  Dr. Birken finds that hormone pellets result in superb results for both men and women.
“The slow and consistent release of hormones with pellets provides excellent clinical responses, Dr. Birken said.  “This includes more vitality, better sleep, increased muscle tone, and helps with weight loss.  Overall, the patient has improved well-being and possibly increased longevity.”

This integrative medicine approach uses complementary and alternative concepts to promote health, wellness, and longevity.  Dr. Randy A. Birken is a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, offers the following medical services:

Bioidentical Hormones
Hormones are essential for normal physiology and metabolism but tend to decline through aging, menopause, disease, or trauma leading to physical and mental deterioration. BHRT hormones are prepared from plants and processed by specialized compounding pharmacists. Since BHRT are natural, they are accepted and metabolized as if our bodies made them, producing effects that are physiologic rather than therapeutic.

With the use of specific blood testing for adrenal, thyroid, as well as reproductive hormones, suboptimal levels can be re-stored to normal values leading to more energy and endurance as well as improvement in an overall sense of well-being.

BHRT options include oral, creams, injections, as well as sustained released pellets.

Patients have improved sleep, less moodiness, anxiety, and depression, as well as increased vitality, strength and libido. Restoration of thyroid and adrenal hormone aid in weight loss, increase muscle tone and mass, and improved skin texture.

IV Nutrition and Chelation Therapy

Chelation therapy reduces heavy metals from the body as a detoxification process and supplements of vitamins and anti-oxidants are given to restore recommended levels.  Treatment is aimed at removing and detoxifying accumulations of harmful levels of aluminum, iron, copper, and toxic heavy metals which enhance free radical damage. Chelation might be useful to prevent or treat rapid oxidation of LDL or bad cholesterol, poor circulation, and heart disease brought on by iron overload. In addition, this combination of IV chelation/nutritional therapy has helped those with autoimmune disease such as rheumatoid arthritis and scleroderma, and may offer help with chronic fatigue and improve overall sense of well-being.IV vitamins, anti-oxidants, and amino acids have been found to be effective against acute asthma attacks, migraines, fatigue (including chronic fatigue syndrome), fibromyalgia, acute muscle spasm, upper respiratory tract infections, chronic sinusitis, seasonal allergic rhinitis, mood disorders, and cardiovascular disease while reducing free radicals that increase age related disorders.

Weight Management

Dr. Birken offers a weight management program that includes blood testing, diet and exercise counseling, as well as supplementation and prescriptions including HCG hormone injections and HCG diet to help achieve a normal body mass index. While no diet program has an easy cure for weight loss, a structured program can provide the necessary tools toward for healthy and physician supervised weight reduction protocol.

Aging is not reversible – but slowing the process to maintain vitality, health, and longevity is possible with new integrative medical concepts that incorporate bioidentical hormones, IV nutritional therapy, and IV chelation for heavy metal exposure.

Dr. Randy Birken, a board certified and Cenegenics Medical Institute physician, optimizes decreasing hormone levels that lead to chronic fatigue, weight gain, loss of muscle tone, lowered libido, reduced stamina, and foggy mind and memory.  Additionally, by using vitamin, mineral, anti-oxidant, and amino acid IV treatments, as well as testing for heavy metal toxicity, patients may have improved energy, better immunity, less aches and pains, and reduction in mood disturbance.

“Most patients take multiple medications that may help some symptoms but create other side effects, ” Dr. Birken said.  “By evaluating levels of hormones and heavy metals, and by giving necessary IV and oral supplements, patients may have restored vitality and a reduction in age related diseases.”
