Holistic Integrative Medicine
-
When I lecture, I often like to make a distinction between Integrative and Holistic Medicine. The former simply means that the physician is using Complementary and Alternative (CAM) approaches, which are generally safer and gentler, in addition to Western (allopathic) Medicine. But the real question is, how are these very different approaches blended? Before starting medical school, I read a book by Swami Vishnu Devananda entitled Meditation and Mantras. In it he says something that had a great impact (on me): Symptoms are like a flashing red light on the dashboard of your car, indicating that something is wrong. Eliminating the symptom is like taking a hammer and smashing the light.” It’s not enough to treat the symptoms with an herb instead of a drug. If the only tool you have is a hammer, then everything looks like a nail… We must always try to treat the root cause of the problem. Holistic Medicine implies that CAM is being used, but also incorporates the concept of holism, treating the human being in his or her entirety – body, mind, emotions and spirit. There’s a lot more to us than meets the eye.

Bioidentical Hormone Replacement Therapy
-
Dr. Weiss has been prescribing bioidentical hormones for both men and women for the past 25 years with excellent results. Because they are chemically identical to the hormones produced by the body they are very well tolerated, unlike synthetic hormones produced by pharmaceutical companies, and much safer.
Conditions which respond very well include Perimenopause and Menopause, PMS, low libido and E.D.
Women will need to show proof that they are up to date on their GYN exams and have normal breast imaging studies (preferably a Mammogram), and men will need to have had a recent prostate check to be eligible for hormone therapy.
Herbal Medicine
-
Dr. Weiss studied Western Herbal Medicine with world-renowned Integrative Medicine expert and Master Herbalist Dr. Tieraona Low Dog M.D., and Ayurvedic Medicine with highly acclaimed Ayurvedic Physician and teacher Dr. Vasant Lad.
He may incorporate Western or Ayurvedic herbs as part of your treatment regimen. In Integrative Medicine we gravitate towards natural substances because our bodies (and minds) evolved over millions of years alongside the plant kingdom.
Our predecessors, through trial and error, and sometimes Divine/intuitive guidance, learned how to use plants to gently yet effectively treat a myriad of health conditions. So we are far more attuned to them, and far better able to tolerate them than we are synthetic chemical drugs. The Romans speak of vis "medicatrix naturae" (latin)--the healing power of nature.
Supplementation
-
I have a wealth of experience prescribing uniquely tailored nutritional supplements for my patients over the past 30 years. Although I have not been trained in Functional Medicine per se, I understand its principles and seek to always discover and treat the underlying cause of your dis-ease. Through extensive testing of blood, urine, stool and saliva, I can often understand why you are feeling unwell, and can formulate a treatment regimen using targeted supplements to help you regain your vitality and sense of well-being.
I was trained by Master Kinesiologist Dr. J. Dunn DC in the use of Wholistic Kinesiology, which taps into the body's innate wisdom to gain important information for maximizing the benefit of specific nutritional supplements or combinations thereof in each individual I treat.”
BEMER Therapy
-
I was first introduced to BEMER™ in 2014, a cutting-edge pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) therapy from Germany that dramatically and safely increases local blood flow in the body. I immediately recognized the therapeutic benefits this technology could offer my patients, and became the first Medical Doctor in the state of New Mexico to incorporate Bemer therapy in my medical practice. Many of my patients rent the device–it is optimally used for 8 minutes twice a day–and after experiencing numerous health benefits, have purchased it for home use. I have also shared this technology with several of my colleagues, both medical doctors and other alternative health care practitioners, by lecturing on the subject, and am generally regarded as a pioneer responsible for Bemer's popularization in the state. In August 2016 I became a Group Leader within the Organization, and in November 2016 a Team Manager. Bemer has significantly helped my sleep as well as my vision, and I no longer need glasses for distance vision that I required before beginning daily Bemer therapy. I have also experienced significant hair growth on my scalp since I first started using Bemer.
BEMER™ is so innovative and such a game changer, it is considered a disruptive technology. A disruptive technology is one that displaces an established technology and shakes up the industry or a ground-breaking product that creates a completely new industry. Harvard Business School professor Clayton M. Christensen coined the term.

IV Therapy Referrals
-
To maximize and supercharge the delivery of vital nutrients to our approximately 100 trillion cells, nothing beats their direct infusion into the bloodstream like an IV.
Many of my patients complain of gut issues which can seriously impair the absorption of nutrients from the small intestine. Other nutrients such as Vitamin C can only reach high blood levels through an IV, because when taken orally they have a purgative effect (induce diarrhea) at doses of 5-20 gm/day, well below the 100 gram + doses required for certain chronic debilitating conditions that can be safely administered IV.
Conditions which may respond well to IV Vitamin Therapy include fatigue, cancer, memory impairment, Parkinson's, Asthma, Migraine, Upper Respiratory Infections, to name a few. IV Ozone can be helpful in the treatment of acute and chronic infections, inflammation, chronic pain and autoimmune disorders.
