Check out the Natural Horizons website for all of our new video testimonials.  "One of the things Natural Horizons has helped me to do is in balancing and stabilizing my jaw I don’t have the shooting pain down my neck and down my arm and in my head. And so I can do things and I feel like doing things, whereas before, I felt awful and I didn’t want to do anything. I just wanted to stay in bed. So I’ve been able to go out and actually swim again, which I wasn’t able to do for a long time, and walk, which I couldn’t even do because I was in so much pain." - June S., Natural Horizons patient

Comprehensive Cancer Treatment at NHWC
 At Natural Horizons, we believe that to effectively treat cancer, doctors must not only address symptoms and tumors, but also detect and eliminate the underlying cause(s) of the disease. Many of the patients we see at Natural Horizons are those who have already undergone one or more of the three conventional options available to them: surgery, chemotherapy or radiation. None of these treatments address the underlying causes or core issues of their disease, but are designed to simply “attack” the cancer tumor and to eradicate it as quickly as possible.
The Cancer Care Program at Natural Horizons includes multiple facets, each one critically important to the health and healing of our patients. We not only address the core issues and underlying causes of cancer, but we develop a customized treatment for each patient that is less invasive, less toxic and supports the body’s immune system. Natural Horizons treats people that travel from throughout the United States and several foreign countries.
Natural Horizons' program is currently experiencing its highest-ever levels of success in helping patients overcome their cancer. A large part of this success is due to the comprehensive approach we take to treating this disease. There are multiple facets to Natural Horizons’ Cancer Care Program. Each one of these areas is critically important to health and healing. Our patients know that in order to be successful, each of these areas must be incorporated into their overall treatment program and they must follow each on a daily basis while they are in treatment.
NUTRITION/LIFESTYLE
Our nutritional program for cancer patients centers on nutrient-rich “living foods” consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, nuts and grains designed to stimulate and nourish the immune system. This fundamental nutritional component also acts to alkalinize the body, creating an environment that is difficult for cancer cells to live in (cancer cells love an acid state which is created by eating sugar, fats and animal proteins).
SUPPLEMENTATION
We then supplement or boost the patient’s nutritional regimen with regular intravenous infusions of vitamins, minerals and amino acids, all of which are absorbed directly into the bloodstream and delivered to the cells at nearly 100% (absorption of supplements ingested orally is significantly less, as most of the nutrients are lost in the digestive process).
DETOXIFICATION
At the same time we are working to strengthen the immune system, we must pay close attention to those factors that may be compromising our patients’ health. To eliminate toxins we detoxify the body system using a variety of protocols that include: colon hydrotherapy, far-infrared sauna, lymphatic drainage, chelation, ion detox foot bath and various herbal remedies.
INSULIN POTENTIATION THERAPY (IPT)
Once we have begun to rebuild and replenish the immune system and have worked to detoxify the body’s systems, we can then begin to address the specific cancer condition. We do this using a treatment protocol called Insulin Potentiation Therapy or IPT. Through this protocol we administer very low doses of targeted chemotherapy and are able to achieve results using 5-10% of the standard dose of most chemotherapy drugs. This means there is less toxicity to normal cells and fewer side effects for our patients.

Healing Low Back Pain
Many people experience at least one form of back pain in their lives. It is often more than just an annoyance--back pain can be very debilitating and interfere significantly with quality of life. There are a number of causes for back pain including misalignment of the feet, knees or legs, imbalance in the pelvis or neck, or lack of flexibility.
Treatment of back pain involves taking the stress off the nerves in the spine, be it the removal of physical stress or the decrease of inflammation around the nerves. Several therapies that are used at Natural Horizons to achieve this are chiropractic care and also Low-Intensity Laser Therapy (LILT). LILT is a non-invasive approach designed to help pain by healing the cause of the pain at its source. For example, pain in the leg with tingling and numbness usually stems from the lower back. We would apply LILT to the lower back to “fix” the problem at the source of the injury.
LILT helps the injured area, to which it is applied, to heal at a faster rate. It does this by stimulating the inured cells in the area to metabolize faster, thereby creating a greater immune response in the injured area. Greater healing response equals faster healing times and complete healing, rather than just controlling symptoms the way pain medication does.
If you have lower back pain or want to schedule a consultation with Dr. Vishal Verma, DC, please contact Natural Horizons at 703-246-9355.

Teresa Owens, Colon Hydrotherapist
 Teresa Owens is a certified colon hydrotherapist who also works with ion detox footbath therapy. She specializes in detoxification and weight loss. Her goal is to help effectively eliminate toxins from the body in a natural way so you can experience optimal health. With the increasing exposure of toxins, petrochemical, heavy metals and other chemicals in the environment, a regular detoxification program including colon hydrotherapy and ion detox footbath therapy is beneficial to everyone. Colon Hydrotherapy, also referred to as colonics, is a therapeutic procedure that uses filtered water to gently cleanse the large intestine or colon. It helps remove accumulated waste, mucus, bacteria, gas, and other toxic matter by hydrating, softening, loosening and rinsing the walls of the colon. The Ion Detox Foot Bath gently detoxifies the body of pesticides, heavy metals, nicotine and other toxins through a unique and relaxing 30-minute foot treatment. After cleansing the body it is equally important to help your body to rebuild healthy blood cells and boost the immune system. Teresa believes that when the body has been cleansed and rebuilt with healthy foods, the pounds melt away and we have the tools to ward off disease. To schedule an appointment with Teresa, please contact us at 703-246-9355.
