Medical Approach at AMG
Our medical approach is holistic, treating the entire body and utilizing it's inherent healing capabilities.
 
Begin with a Complete Analysis
Our treatments all begin with the most comprehensive physical exam possible, meticulously examining every aspect of your health and current condition. The physical exam is combined with a full set of lab tests to get a complete understanding of your health status.
 
Treat the Root Cause
Many times, the root cause of your condition is hidden by a combination of multiple symptoms.

Best Integrated Medicine
Our alternative medicine treatments are the culmination of 20 years of experience at the forefront of natural, holistic medicine. We were one of the very first treatment centers in North America to utilize Chelation Therapy, Ozone Therapy, and Live Cell Therapy. Our experience has led to the most advanced treatment protocols in the world.
 
Our alternative treatments are designed to do several things:

• Improve your own immune system response
• Improve the operation of your circulatory system to improve absorption of medication
• Eliminate the presence of harmful chemicals, metals, and inorganic materials that reduce your immune system's ability to respond
• Balance critical hormone levels
• Use natural methods to attack the root cause of your condition instead of only treating your symptoms

At Advanced Medical Group, we have the options you have been looking for.

At Advanced Medical Group, we do not define our medical approach by any limiting terms such as alternative, all natural, homeopathic or allopathic. AMG is a real medicine clinic; we utilize the most effective combination of all fields of medicine.

Helping you stay healthy the natural way is the focus and motto of Advanced Medical Group.

AMG initially opened its doors in 1994 with the vision of offering its patients the highly specialized medical services they were looking for but could not find in the US. AMG began operating our of a vacant hospital wing with only 2 doctors. Sixteen years later, the Advanced Medical Group has grown to include a dedicated medical center, many specialized doctors, nutritionists, and surgeons, and a partnership with two world-class hospitals.

AMG’s mission is to provide the most complete health solution possible. We saw a need in the current medical industry, where doctors rush to treat with medication, and ignore underlying issues in their patients’ health. At AMG, illness is viewed as a whole and not as an individual affliction isolated from the integrity of the person. Based on Thessalonians 5:23, we are spirit, have a soul, and inhabit a body. Therefore, our approach to cancer and other degenerative diseases encompasses not only physical improvement, but spiritual support as well.

Chelation Therapy
The word "chelation" is derived from the Greek word chele, which means "to claw". During chelation, the chelating solution, in simple terms, "claws" the plaque out of the blood vessels, by chemically bonding with life-threatening elements such as chromium, iron, mercury, copper, lead, zinc, cadmium, cobalt, aluminum, and calcium (which is used to measure the progress of the treatment). These toxic minerals are then transported to the kidneys for removal.When you look over the order of minerals that are drawn from the body, it is evident how chelation is a major factor in attacking various diseases. These diseases include lead poisoning, mercury poisoning, and aluminum toxicity- all of which could contribute to the development of Alzheimer's disease.It could be considered the bypass to bypass. It is the safe alternative to bypass surgery or angioplasty. Chelation is a safe, painless, non-surgical method of removing the obstructive plaque that has built up in the circulatory system. It is believed that chelation stimulates the parathyroid hormone that pulls the minerals like calcium out of areas of the body where it is not beneficial such as arteries, arthritic joints, and the kidneys. It is also thought to slow down the process by which platelets adhere to each other and obstruct the flow of blood. Probably the most exciting discovery is that chelation neutralizes free radical activity. Free radicals are impaired or out-of-balance molecules that are a byproduct of chemical interactions. Free radical activity not only disrupts every cell in the body, it is also the underlying cause of all forms of life-shortening sickness. They are now considered to be a major cause of aging and of most of our degenerative diseases.One concern about this treatment is that it might remove necessary calcium. However, this is not the case. There are two forms of calcium in the body: organic calcium and inorganic calcium. Organic calcium may be found in bones and in teeth. Inorganic calcium circulates in the blood and may accumulate abnormally in the soft tissues of the body. Chelating agents are attracted to inorganic calcium. Chelating agents will not chemically bond with or remove any organic calcium from bones and teeth.

AMG Nutrition Information
An essentials part of a Healthy Nutritional program is to add Vitamins, Minerals and other food Supplements to your diet. Many people assume they can get all the nutrition from eating proper foods. But our food supplies have changed drastically in the past few decades. Much of our food is now grown in nutrient depleted soil because of over-farming and the use of artificial fertilizers. This resulted in weakening the plants immune system and decrease the nutritional value. Another important factor is how the produce is harvested. Now a days most commercial produce is harvested while it's green and treated with sulfites to help it ripen by the time it reaches the supermarket shelves. This severely affects the nutritional content of the fruit and vegetables. Other processes used to "refine" our foods, strip them of most vitamins and minerals. Manufactures afterwards, "enrich" these foods, (Like flour) with inorganic iron and synthetic vitamins to try and replace the nutrients lost In the processing of AMG in the best interest of our costumers recommends to follow a diet low in sugar and fat, high in vegetables, fruits, grains and complemented by high quality of "Nutritional Supplements".

Ozone Therapy
Ozone Therapy is a gas consisting of three molecules of oxygen- O3. It is produced when oxygen passes through an electric charge of 10,000 - 45,000 volts. Ozone is the most powerful oxident which can kill cancer cells through direct exposure. Ozone may be administered directly into veins, arteries, or body cavities such as the perineal, or vaginal cavity. Ozone therapy is administered by a process call Autohemotherapy. This process is accomplished by drawing the patients's blood, addig Ozone, and re-transfusing the blood into the patient's veins. By using between 18,000 gamma and 30,000 gamma of Ozone by Autohemotherapy, Ozone therapy can induce the body to produce:

• 2-3 times the DP-Genzyme, increasing the transport of oxygen.
• Increase cytokine (the body's natural chemical weapon to fight cancer) production 2-3 fold.
• Increase the production of tumor necrosis factors.
• Increase the production of super oxide dismutase (SOD) by two fold. SOD revitalizes the cells and reduces the rate of the cell destruction. It removes the most common free radical super oxide.

Other methods of application includes:

Rectal insuffation includes the application of ozone from sterile bags into the rectum where it is absorbed through the hem or rhoidal plexus. This allows for the application of large amounts of ozone in order to treat systemic disease. It is designed to heal the mucosa of affected areas and, if applied large quantities, eliminate cancer cells. Direct injection into tumors has the effect of increasing tumor or necroses )death factor ten fold.When mixed with 5cc of blood and injected into buttocks, it allows for an increase in immunity. Although the United States has been slow in accepting the beneficial use of ozone, the world ozone conference held in Washington D.C. during May 1983 produced papers verifying the medically therapeutic uses of ozone.

These specialists concluded that:

• Ozone removes unwanted bacteria and viruses from the blood.
• The possibility of becoming infected through blood transfusions could be eliminated by the use of ozone.
• Ozone is highly effective in treating perpheral vascular disease (diseases of the arteries and veins of the extremities like atherosclerosis and varicose veins).
• Ozone has been effective cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease, atherosclerosis, and angina pain. It also restores general circulatory function and improves brain circulation and function.

Intravenous Hydrogen Peroxide
Among the oxidative therapies, H202 has an intrinsic value over Hyperbaric oxygen and Ozone.
In patients with chronic yeast infection, there is no better option than hydrogen peroxide. Our immune system uses hydrogen peroxide to kill yeast, bacteria, protozoa, and cancer cells. However, as we grow older, the amount our body produces decreases every year. Under supervised conditions, H202 can and should be used intravenously. A 1% solution of H202 is applied through a drip in varying quantities. Special care is taken by monitoring red blood cells in order to avoid the risk of over-saturation. Improvement of symptoms may be seen within 72 to 92 hours.

Intravenous hydrogen Peroxide is a safe treatment option that has been used by Dr. Soto for over 11 years.

Pulsating Magnetic Field Therapy
This is a form of physical therapy where large surfaced pulsating magnetic fields of extremely low frequency are used for therapeutic purposes. This has a direct influence of pulsating magnetic fields with a specific intensity and frequency modulation. This obtains a positive influence on the partial oxugen pressure in the tissue increasing the oxygen utilization in the cell. The cell's function is improved through increased energy metabolism. Since vasodilation occurs, the immune response in increased and blood irrigation is improved. The pulsating magnetic fields penetrate the body completely including every exposed cell. The ions present in the cells and in the colloidal system are magnetically influenced.

As they are exposed to the pulsating magnetic field lines of a specific frequency, the ions are pressed against the cell membrane which has a positive influence on the intracellular metabolism, particularly on energy metabolism. Pulsating magnetic field therapy may be applied with great success in the following ailments:

• Disease of the support and locomotion systems, particularly rheumatic and arthritic disorders.
• Sports injuries such a bruises, puled or torn ligaments or muscles, and tennis elbow.
• Delayed wound healing and non-union fractures.
• Headeche and migraine
• Health and circulatory disease or disturbances
• Metabolic disorders
• Neuralgia
• Bronchitis and sinusitis (acute and chronic)

Millions have been treated with this non-invasive methos based on the principle that pulsating magnetic fields of specific frequency and intensity can exer an influence or biological processed without surgical interventions.

Live Cell Therapy
This therapy includes many different cell preparation for specific conditions and cell extracts to enhance the immune system. It includes a complete program to enhance and regenerate the organs of the body. Beginning in April 1 1932, professor Paul Niehans made the first implantation of fresh cells. Since then, millions of patients have been treated with natural effective cell therapy. Although there are over 5000 therapies in Germany, for example, this therapy is not available in the United States. Therefore, for many years, the renewal, restoration, and revitalization provided by live cell therapy was only available to the traveling wealthy celebrities who could afford the trip and high cost of the treatment throughout Europe. Advance Medical Group provides the highest standard of professionalism and experience in order to make this treatment in the Western Hemisphere.
