Growing up in Cuba and later practicing medicine in Asia and Europe, I became familiar with many effective forms of natural healing. Nevertheless, until 1980, I practiced mostly the Western, American Medical Association type of medicine that I was taught at the University of Texas Medical Branch.

In the early 1980's an extremely knowledgeable expert in the natural healing and nutrition fields came to work with me by divine providence. She patiently and skillfully guided me through books, seminars and workshops in natural healing. She helped me to network with the right people, and taught me on a daily basis. She also introduced me to the Bible. The Scriptures rapidly transformed my philosophy, my medical practice and my life.

The results were gratifying, so I have been immersed in the study and practice of alternative medicine and the Scriptures since then. I am pleased to be able to offer our patients the most effective methods of Western as well as Alternative Medicine.

Anti Aging Notes from the Doctor

Our hormones play a major role in how fast we age. In part they act to advance the life cycle according to the biological plan. Alternatively, they may go haywire, promoting disease states associated with the aging process.

Since hormones influence the rate at which we age, considerable research is underway to evaluate the feasibility of ""replacement therapy"" to forestall the aging process and the degenerative changes that accompany it. "Replacement therapy" has been around for some time in the treatment of menopause. Many gynecologists advocate the use of estrogen and progesterone in the alleviation of menopausal symptoms. The use of testosterone, the adrenal hormones such as DHEA, pregnenolone, and melatonin are now just being investigated.
