Orange County Heart Health Check (Open to the public) December 5th thru December 16th, 2011

Sunday, December 4th, 2011

Advanced Healing Center of Orange

The practice of Dr. Marcus Ettinger

“Give Yourself and Your Loved Ones the Gift of Health”

December Heart Health Check (Open to the public)
Monday, December 5th thru Friday, December 16th

In addition to all of my standard treatments,during these two weeks, I will be paying extra attention to your cardiovascular health – preventative cardiology. From breakthrough lab testing, nutritional protocols and my new MaxPulse device, for screening the cardiovascular/autonomic nervous system*, I have something for everyone.

PS. my October 28th cardio screening sold-out – 30 spots!

*Autonomic nervous system: Part of the nervous system that was once thought to be functionally independent of the brain. The autonomic nervous system regulates key functions of the body including the activity of the heart muscle, the smooth muscles (e.g., the muscles of the intestinal tract), and the glands.

 

Dear Patients, Family and Friends:

I hope this e-mail finds you all happy and healthy.

Monday, December 5th thru Friday, 16th – In addition to all of my standard treatments, I will be focusing on your cardiovascular health.  From breakthrough lab testing protocols, nutritional protocols and my new MaxPulse device, for screening the cardiovascular/autonomic nervous system. “Remember, Prevention is the Cure.”

Why? Because Cardiovascular Disease is North America’s #1 cause of [preventable] death and it exceeds the next four causes of death combined.  Also, 70% of our population is either suffering from high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes or high cholesterol/triglycerides.  I have the knowledege and ability to handle all of these body challenges – and I want to help!

I want all of you reading this to be tested so we can be sure your heart-health is tip-top.  Please take me up on this and be a part of this screening (ages 30 and up).  You are encouraged to invite family and friends to be tested as well – it’s that important.  I feel this is just another piece of the puzzle in achieving your overall health and wellness goal.  As you all know, I want everyone of you to live a long and healthy life and it begins with educating yourself on your current state of [heart] health. Ignorance is not bliss – it’s expensive and painful!

Some of what we will find out from the MaxPulse Assessment:

  1. Heart Rate Variability (HRV) – Determines one’s overall health status and autonomic nerve system. “Meta-analyses of published data demonstrate that reduced cardiovascular autonomic function, as measured by heart rate variability, is strongly associated with an increased risk of silent myocardial ischemia (lack of oxygen to the heart w/o symptoms) and mortality (DEATH).”
  2. Differential Pulse Wave Index (DPI) – Overall cardiovascular health.
  3. Eccentric Constriction (EC) – Constriction power of vessels from the left ventricle.
  4. Arterial Elasticity (AE) – Analysis blood circulation and elasticity and resistance of the arteries.
  5. Remaining Blood Volume (RBV) – Remaining blood in the vessels after systolic contraction of the heart.
  6. Wave Type – Aging vascular health indicator.
  7. Mean Heart Rate – Average beats per minute or heart rate.
  8. Arteriosclerosis Progress – 7 pictorial wave types showing typical artery status.
  9. Stress Score – Overall stress health compared to resistance levels.
  10. Stress Levels – Mental stress, physical stress, and resistance to stress.
  11. Changes in pressure, velocity, blood volume, and other indices.

You will receive your MaxPulse results the same day and I will give you a copy to keep. The Max Pulse™ testing device will give both of us a lot of very important data.  The test will also help me to assess your nutritional and/or pharmaceutical needs, as well as show the effectiveness of lifestyle changes, recommended treatments and/or additional diagnostic tests that may be needed.

The MaxPulse Assessment is $50 dollars for an individual, $80 for a couple or $25 if added to your regular visit. You can make an appointment with Stephanie or myself @ (714)639-4360. P.S. We have all spent more than $50 dollars on “things” far less important than testing the health of our heart.

Available cardio related lab tests: (all labs are done at my cost) Please call or e-mail if you have any questions related to blood tests. Full blood panels are also available – at cost.  My most popular cardio combo*

  1. *VAP Cholesterol Test – By reporting 22 different components of cholesterol, the VAP Test identifies risks you can’t see with a standard lipid panel. ($75) retail over $200
  2. *Cardio C-Reactive Protein (CRP) – Measures vascular inflammation, a strong indicator of future cardiovascular events. ($20) Retail over $75
  3. Homocysteine – high homocysteine levels represent an important independent risk factor for coronary heart disease, heart attack, stroke, peripheral atherosclerosis, and venous thromboembolism (the blockage of a blood vessel by a migrating clot).
  4. Fibrinogin – Fibrinogen is a protein that plays a key role in blood clotting.  Fibrinogen is a sticky, fibrous coagulant in the blood that appears to significantly increase the risk of experiencing one of the leading causes of death and disability – stroke. ($20) Retail over $50
  5. *Fasting Glucose – Elevated blood glucose (sugar) is an independent risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure and elevated blood lipids (fats). ($10) Retail over $25
  6. A1C – Elevated A1C, with or without being a diabetic is directly assciated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and ($30) Retail over $60
  7. Standard Lipid Panel – Total Cholesterol, Triglicerides, HDL’s, LDS’s and VLDL’s. ($20) Retail over $70

Call today to set your appointment (714) 639-4360.  I Hope to see you soon.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger

Ultra Lite weight loss testimonial 22 August 2011

Tuesday, August 23rd, 2011

August 22, 2011

Dear Dr.  Ettinger,

I wanted to thank you for you and your wife’s guidance through my weight-loss with Ultra-Lite.

I had spent more than 20 years well over 200 pounds and had tried other programs with limited results, unable to successfully lose over 30 pounds.  Ultra-Lite was the first program that I could maintain focus, eat real food (no processed foods), while losing weight. No loss of skin tone (wrinkles) and I actually ended up looking younger.

Your weekly guidance and check-ins were essential for me because I had decided not see any of my losses during weigh-ins (did not look at the scale and I did not want to know how much I was losing).  I was told weekly that I had great weight-loss but never the exact amount.  Having my measurements taken was important also because I knew I was losing inches, but I didn’t need to know the specifics. Sometimes my inches lost was greater than a weight loss. Others on the program, I am sure need to use the specific, weight-loss, information for motivation and they will get it. But for me, I would have just played around with the numbers and try to get away with cheating if I had known my exact weight-loss.  For me, not knowing my exact weight-loss enabled me to focus on just staying on program.

After a few weeks the healthy eating resulted in more energy with, of course, my cholesterol, blood pressure and sugar levels going down.  I lost 65 pounds in a matter of 7 months. Getting rid of all the size 20-24 clothes was so rewarding and now living a healthy lifestyle is very satisfying.

Thank you again,

M.D.
Orange, CA

A Therapeutic Lifestyle Change – The Ultra Lite Program

Tuesday, February 1st, 2011

Ultra-Lite-Weight-Loss_Emulex_Health_Fair_Santa_Ana_CaliforniaA Therapeutic Lifestyle Change – The Ultra Lite Program

Whether your goal is to lose weight, detoxify and cleanse your body, or address a serious health concern, our TLC – Ultra Lite Program provides you with the exact tools, science and support you need to implement and stick to your new lifestyle changes.

What is the TLC – Ultra Lite Program?

Dietary modifications, a personalized exercise program, targeted nutritional supplements…. These and other Therapeutic Lifestyle Changes (TLC – Ultra Lite) will help you take control of your health, and look and feel better than you have in years.

Most of our chronic health challenges, such as obesity, diabetes, high blood pressure and cholesterol, and cardiovascular disease, are caused in large part by our everyday behaviors — what we eat, our activity level, and how we handle stress. And although you probably know what you should be doing in each of these areas, knowledge isn’t enough. Old habits die hard, and changing the way you’ve done things for years is no easy task.

That’s where TLC – Ultra Lite, comes in. Whether your goal is to lose weight, detoxify and cleanse your body, or address a serious health concern, the TLC – Ultra Lite Program provides you with the tools and, perhaps most important, the medical support you need to implement and stick with lifestyle changes.

How Does TLC – Ultra Lite Program Work?

Have you tried every diet in the book yet you’re still unable to achieve permanent weight loss? You may well have some underlying issues that need to be addressed, and that’s where our program differs from other programs. Dr. Ettinger and his staff will look for undiscovered medical conditions that may have made it difficult for you to lose weight in the past.

We’ll start by testing your thyroid, estrogen, testosterone, and other blood markers that can have significant effects on weight and energy level. And because many medications are linked with weight gain, we’ll evaluate your drug regimen. We’ll also rule out sleep apnea, acid/alkaline balance and other health challenges that can contribute to weight problems.

Diagnosing and correcting these underlying factors will not only facilitate weight loss but also make a significant difference in how you feel today and for years to come.

Not a Diet but a Lifestyle Change

Next, you’ll spend time with your certified TLC – Ultra Lite educator (coach), who will become your greatest ally on the road to wellness. You’ll work together to identify specific problems and get started on your personalized program.  Your personal educator will also provide you with a workbook and handouts with recipes, menu suggestions, and tips for staying on track.

Targeted nutritional supplements, medical foods, and, of course, exercise, are other integral parts of the program. These components not only help you reach your goals faster but also encourage overall health and well being. Your TLC –Ultra Lite educator will help you get started on these aspects of the program as well.

Your TLC – Ultra Lite Educator: Your Partner in Health

Support and follow up is of utmost importance, especially during the initial stages of the TLC – Ultra Lite program, and your personal educator will be there for you every step of the way. You will have regularly scheduled appointments with your TLC – Ultra Lite educator to monitor your progress and provide further instruction and inspiration.

In addition to checking your weight, we will also periodically test your body composition, or ratio of fat to lean body mass. This is a far more important indicator of health than weight alone. Anybody can go on a calorie-restricted diet and lose pounds, but the real goal is to spare lean muscle mass, lose fat and keep it off. The improvements you’ll see in your body composition will motivate and assure you that you are truly making significant enhancements in your health.

The most effective and successful weight-loss program in Orange, County

Sunday, October 17th, 2010

If after reading this post you have questions regarding alternative medicine, integrative medicine, chiropractic, weight-loss, diabetes or pre-diabetes prevention, nutritional supplementation or how to become a new patient, please feel free to contact our office. Advanced Healing Center of Orange County, the practice of Dr. Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC. Phone: 714-639-4360, E-mail: info@advancedhealing.com, Mail: 630 South Glassell Street #103. Orange, CA 92866.

Four Important Facts Everyone Should Know about Weight-Loss:

1. “Maintaining your ideal weight over a life-time reduces your risk for developing degenerative conditions such as, diabetes, cancer and heart disease. Maintaining your ideal weight will also lower your risk for having a stroke and pre-mature death. Best of all, maintaining your ideal weight will improve the quality of your sleep, love life and energy level!”

2. “Fad diets don’t work because people will only follow them for a limited time, before trying a new one.”

3. “There IS NO magic bullet when it comes to dieting and weight-loss.”

4. “Weight-loss and maintaining a healthy weight boils down to just three main components: education, proper dietary choices and routine physical activity.”


Orange County, CA: My goal in weight-loss and weight-management is to educate or re-educate my patients in the use of proper dietary habits, label reading, menu planning and physical exercise. Weight-loss and weight-management IS NOT DIFFICULT, and the formula for healthy weight-loss is almost identical for everyone, though my greatest successes have occurred when I get the whole family involved in the weight-loss process. I can and will help you lose all the weight you want, and I will help you keep it off. Through education, I will help you learn good eating and exercise habits – that will last a lifetime.

All weight-loss programs are tailored to an individual patients needs, based on: blood tests results, initial Body Mass Index (BMI)* weight-loss goals, physical limitations and time-frame. All weight-loss programs are designed to be easy to follow and become part of your healthy lifestyle. This is not just a weight-loss diet plan, it’s really a way of healthy living. My patients not only lose all the weight they want, they keep it off too. This is truly Sustained, Permanent and Long-Term Weight-Loss.

Developed in Australia and perfected in America. Here is my most successful and effective weight-loss program offered anywhere: The UltraLite Program. You can follow my personal journey on the UltraLite Program – here. As of this writing, I have successfully completed over 100 patients on the UltraLite program. This particular program also works to help normalize high blood pressure, high cholesterol and reverse pre-diabetes or diabetes.

Please feel free to contact me at uliteoc@hotmail.com or call me at 714-639-4360 with any questions.

Sincerely,

Dr. Marcus Ettinger

An alternative medicine viewpoint to disease and wellness

Friday, September 10th, 2010

If after reading this post you have questions regarding alternative medicine, integrative medicine, chiropractic, weight-loss, diabetes or pre-diabetes prevention, nutritional supplementation or how to become a new patient, please feel free to contact our office. Advanced Healing Center of Orange County, the practice of Dr. Marcus Ettinger BSc, DC. Phone: 714-639-4360, E-mail: info@advancedhealing.com, Mail: 630 South Glassell Street #103. Orange, CA 92866.

The goal I set with each each client is to discover the precise dietary, physiologic and/or structural imbalance that is the root cause of their body problem. The vast majority of today’s body problems are a direct result of long-term aberrations in both diet and lifestyle. With proper identification and correction, the body does exactly what it was designed to do – achieve vibrant and lasting health.

harmful prescription medication

Today’s standard of medical care is to treat all diseases and symptoms with drugs or surgery. The problem here is that prescription drugs don’t correct the underlying cause – the nutritional, biochemical or structural imbalances. In fact, prescription drugs usually create more problems and actually make it harder for the body to heal. Prescription drugs are only designed to treat symptoms, by activating or suppressing reactions in the body. These drugs were never created to do what is truly needed to get ones health back and that’s – rebuild and regenerate tissue and/or function. The simple truth is that a chemical cure is not the answer to a nutritional biochemical or structural imbalances.

As an analytical thinker and compassionate doctor, I find it completely unreasonable that the current medical community chooses to label the vast majority of body problems as ‘diseases’ and to routinely intervene with chemical cures or surgery, as the first treatment option. More often than not, the cure ends up becoming worse than the disease. Patients who choose an alternative medicine approach often respond better to dietary, life-style changes and targeted nutritional supplements than to a plethora of prescription drugs.

I have personally found that most individuals, particularly those taking multiple prescription drugs for chronic conditions, fare better in the long-run when those drugs can be reduced or eliminated. In fact, the majority of chronic body problems such as diabetes, obesity, heart disease, low thyroid, high blood pressure and cholesterol can be managed successfully without the use of potentially harmful drugs or un-warranted surgery – if given a chance.

As an alternative and integrative medicine practitioner, I am not against prescription medications, as there are times when it is appropriate to use a medication. In fact, I routinely work with my patient’s medical doctor, in an integrative manner, sharing test results and formulating a plan designed to reduce or illuminate, if possible, their medication.

Alternative medicine, on a gradient scale of treatment options, for most body problems, should be the first choice on the list. The reason being is that if dietary and lifestyle modification, along with targeted nutritional supplementation and exercise can’t handle the problem then there is always the medical option. This sequencing makes more sense because you can’t undo a surgery once performed or completely reverse the damage done by long-term pharmaceutical use.

I hope this has given you some food for thought.

In good health,
