Successful Treatment Begins with Successful Diagnosis

The Environmental Health Center - Dallas is a complete testing and treatment medical facility for adults and children.

Understanding the 6 principles of total body overload and how the body responds to environmental factors is an important part of each patient's treatment. Below is Dr. Rea's barrel image, representing the body. Listed are some of  the physical, chemical, and biological factors and stressors that can contribute to the total body load.

The EHC-D is known as one of the oldest and most innovative clinics for the treatment of chronic diseases. We combine the best by blending complementary medicine with state of the art in standard medicine. It's the best of both worlds!

Diagnostic tools include:

• SPECT SCAN BRAIN:
  Single Photon emission computed tomography is performed with a "brain specific" radionuclide.

• LABORATORY EVALUATION:
  Blood, urine, adipose tissue for xenobiotics: pesticides – organophosphates, organochlorides, – solvents, aromatic volatile hydrocarbons, ketones, aldehydes and metabolites, mold and mycotoxins, polychlorinated biphenyls, pentachlorophenol, pyrethroid metabolites, heavy metals, and chlorophenoxy herbicides; Breath Air Analysis for volatile organic compounds derived from the blood by passive diffusion across pulmonary alveolar membrane.

• SAUNA & DETOX:
  This outpatient means of treating toxic exposures is a six-day-per-week, physician-supervised program consisting of dry heat, exercise, massage, vitamin and mineral replacement, administration of xenobiotic binding substances and monitoring of toxin levels in blood and/or fat tissue.

• IMMUNOTHERAPY:
   A specialized type of vaccine treatment, which can provide substantial relief from offending agents.  During the skin testing process, exact treatment level, or "optimal dosage," of each substance is established for the patient.

• PATIENT EDUCATION:
  To do this successfully, our patients are educated about their sensitivities and actively involved in carrying out their prescribed treatment plans.

• NUTRITION:
  Based on the testing and evaluation process, the Center's physicians determine an individualized therapy program for each patient.  Elimination or rotation diets, intelligent avoidance of incitants, nutritional supplementation, osteopathic manipulation and immunotherapy are some of the procedures often recommended.

• NUTRITIONAL TESTS:
  Vitamins, Minerals, Amino Acids, Fatty Acids

• SURGERY:
  Antibiotics, Medications, Anesthetics

• IMPLANT TESTING:
  Cataract, Joint Replacement

• DENTAL MATERIAL TESTING:
  Based on varying types of fillings and dental processes over the last several decades

• ADDITIONAL SERVICES, TESTING AND TREATMENT:
  Isolation, identification of micro organisms related to illnesses
  Preparation and treatment with a vaccine from these micro organisms
  Hematological analyses, flow cytometric analyses
  Isolation, enumeration of molds from different environmental areas
