Holiday Schedule - The Center will be closed from Friday, December 23rd, 2011 through Monday, January 2nd, 2012.  We will reopen at 9:00AM on Tuesday, January 3rd, 2012 for normal operations.  If you have an urgent medical problem during this period, please contact your primary care physician or go to an urgent care center.

Product Highlights -  Do you want to lose 25 or more pounds? Releana® is the only patented sublingual hCG (human chorionic gonadotropin) weight loss product available in the USA.  It is natural, safe, medical grade and as effective as the injectable hCG.  When used in combination with a low calorie diet, it allows patients to shed fat and retain muscle, up to one pound a day.  Clinical studies have shown that Releana® patients on a low calorie diet lose 28% more weight than those on placebo using the diet alone. This medication requires a prescription and is available through our office.  The manufacturer has lowered the price to us and we can pass  a $150 savings on to you.  For detailed information, go to www.prevent-doc.com and under Articles of Interest, view to the article “A Novel Approach to Weight Loss – the hCG Diet” that was published in October 2010.

Aloe Vera Plus is a unique product developed by Dr. Bruce Walton, a former UF Professor of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery.  This is a wonderful product that Dr. Walton states helps increase natural energy and vitality, helps revitalize skin, and helps immune and endocrine function. Key ingredients include whole leaf aloe vera and a variety of phytochemicals (including ginkgo biloba, grapeseed, green tea, lycopene, barley and wheat grasses).  It also contains wild yam medicinal dioscorea, which contains natural substances to serve as precursors for the body’s endocrine system to produce many hormones important for overall health. A bottle of 60 capsules is $54.  The usual dose is one capsule twice daily

FLU VACCINATIONS ARE NOW AVAILABLE -  At the Center we have used intradermal (injected into the skin) flu vaccinations for years.  This method is also being used in Europe.  This year the FDA has approved  an intradermal flu vaccine for the USA, manufactured by Sanofi Aventis, for ages 18-64.  The injections into the skin produce an equal or better immune response than intramuscular flu vaccinations, using 80% less vaccine and a much smaller, less painful needle.  The cost is $20.  Call 331-5138 to schedule.
