Detailed Overview
of EHC-D
The Environmental Health Center - Dallas
is a premier environmental health provider offering a unique, innovative, nontoxic
approach to the solution of human health problems related to environmental pollutant
exposure, including chemical and electromagnetic sensitivity. The center is
considered by many people to
be one of the pioneers and a recognized world authority on the manipulation of the patient's
environment. We use natural and various treatment methods to solve
individuals' and groups' sensitivity problems that have occurred from environmental pollutant overload. We
have experience in diagnosing and treating more than 40,000 environmentally sensitive
patients with our innovative techniques.
In our treatment process, we have developed
less-toxic building technology and have evaluated, aided in construction, or advised on
the remodeling of more than 20,000 private and public buildings. This experience makes us
one of the most experienced and innovative groups in the world on the subject of
less-toxic buildings.
Our laboratory
has been a leader in the development of tests for defining the problem of chemical
and electromagnetic sensitivity. We have developed in our own laboratory or in conjunction
with other groups, practical and reliable analyses of blood levels of toxic chemicals,
T&B lymphocytes, cell cycles and phagocytic indices, the management of vitamin,
mineral, and amino acid levels, computerized balance testing, brain metabolism
assessments by means of SPECT scans, objective autonomic nervous system evaluation through
the iris corder, psychological brain function tests and peripheral sensory nerve
evaluation.

| We
are the pioneers in the use of inhaled challenges of commonly encountered
concentrations of chemicals, as well as the electromagnetic fixed EMF
challenge and we have performed more than 15,000 ambient dose inhaled
challenges and hundreds of EMF tests.
Our
facility
is designed and operated utilizing our less-toxic techniques and has a
unique construction using low out gassing materials including porcelain
fused on steel, aluminum, hardwood, plaster and ceramic tile. Our
patient housing units are also constructed with these materials,
allowing for less-polluted living. The air and water de-pollution
devices used in our office and patient housing units were developed in
conjunction with commercial companies and the monitoring devices are
part of techniques developed by the Environmental Health Center -
Dallas.
Our vast experience in
treating the chemically sensitive patient includes people from the
Alaskan oil spills, Desert Storm (British and American soldiers),
victims of other large exposures and those individuals who have become
ill at home or work from exposures to carpets, paints, pesticides,
solvents, formaldehydes, and many other chemical agents.
Exposures and the resulting
sensitivity can trigger a variety of symptoms. One of our areas of
expertise includes heart problems. With cardiovascular disease, EHC-D
physicians work especially in the diagnosis and treatment of vasculitis,
cardiac arrhythmia, Raynaud's disease and related phenomena, Burger's
disease, recurrent thrombophlebitis, and pulmonary embolism. We also
frequently address the surgical and medical aspects of arteriosclerosis
and reflex sympathetic dystrophy.
Since its inception
in 1974, center
physicians
have worked in the diagnosis and treatment of inflammatory vascular
disease and its relationship to pollutants in air, food, and water.
Etiology can now be defined in many cases. The removal of causes along
with nutrient treatment, dietary manipulation, injection therapy,
acupuncture, homeopathy, oxygen therapy, and immune modulations can
usually restore health to patients in a non-toxic manner.
The techniques that we have
developed for these patients involve programs of appropriate avoidance
of pollutants in air, food, and water; injection therapy for the relief
of secondary sensitivities to food and biological inhalants (molds,
pollens, etc.), as well as some chemicals; nutritional therapy both
parenteral and oral; heat depuration, immune, modulators; physical
therapy (sauna, massage, exercise), and autogenous immune factor. The
autogenous lymphocyte factor (ALF) was discovered and developed at the
EHC-Dallas

- Skin challenge tests for
sensitivities to molds, pollens, dust, danders, terpenes, intestinal
peptide, plant phenols, food and chemicals. Preservative free,
standardized and customized antigens are used. Preservative free
vaccines of almost any substance can be made for the patient at the EHC-Dallas.
Cell mediated immunity -- test delayed 48 hour function. The patient can
have personalized vaccines made of almost any substance.
- Oral challenge tests for
foods and chemicals.
- Inhaled ambient dose
chemical challenges.
- Evaluation of the
autonomic nervous system through the binocular iris corder.
- Computerized Balance Tests
for - inner ear and brain toxicity.

the EHC-D is one of the few sites in the world that provides
environmentally controlled conditions for heart and lung evaluation of
cardiac arrhythmias, atrial, and ventricular fibrillations and heart
failure, including cardiomyopathy.
