Hidden
Causes of Chronic Conditions:
Solving
the Puzzle
Dr.
Eric Balcavage
is a chiropractic physician who has been in private practice
since 1996. He received his Bachelor’s degree in 1990 and
his Doctorate degree in 1995 from Palmer
College of Chiropractic.
He
started his practice with a focus on the traditional
concepts of chiropractic; the structure of the spine, its
impact on the nervous system and a person’s health. Due to
the challenges he faced with some very sick patients that
could not tolerate any type of traditional physical therapy
or chiropractic care, Dr. Balcavage became interested in
functional neurology and blood chemistry.
Studying
those disciplines and incorporating them with chiropractic
care he has been able to help people with some of the most
challenging chronic conditions.
Over
the last four years, his practice has transitioned from a
traditional chiropractic office to a more holistic office
blending chiropractic care, functional neurology, functional
blood chemistry, functional nutrition, and brain based
therapy. This change has allowed him to help the sickest of
the sick, those with chronic health challenges that no one
else seems to be able to help.
His
office now not only helps people with symptoms that they
would normally go to the chiropractor for (like back and
neck pain, headaches, etc.) but also with conditions like
peripheral neuropathy, fibromyalgia, thyroid disorders,
vertigo, diabetes, skin disorders and weight challenges.
This
change in his practice style is the basis behind his office
purpose: To Provide Answers and Promote Health
He
consults with hundreds of doctors around the country on the
treatment of chronic pain, neurologic and metabolic
conditions. His clinic has always been on the cutting edge
of the health care industry. Currently, he devotes his
practice to treating chronic pain and chronic metabolic
conditions.
Dr.
Balcavage lives with his lovely wife Kelly and their 3
children in London Grove Township, PA. He is active in both
the Glen Mills and London Grove communities as a Rotarian
and coach of youth sports.

Dr.
Andrew Lipton,
DO, is
a 1991 graduate of the University
of Health Sciences College
of Osteopathic Medicine, Kansas City, Missouri.
The
D.O. or Doctor of Osteopathy is a degree in medicine
combined with training in Osteopathic
Manipulation. Osteopathy
was founded in Missouri and there are only 15 schools that
train physicians in this technique.
Dr.
Lipton has taken advanced training in osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT) and is Board Certified by the American Osteopathic Board of NeuroMusculo Skeletal
Medicine. He
completed his residency in Family Medicine at Suburban
General Hospital, Norristown, PA and is Board Certified
in Family Medicine.
Dr.
Lipton was trained in Chelation
Therapy by the American
College for Advancement in Medicine, a group of
physicians dedicated to being open to new alternatives in
medicine. He is also Board certified by the American
Board of Chelation Therapy and is a member of several
professional organizations: American Osteopathic Association (AOA),
American College of Osteopathic Family Practitioners (ACOFP),
Pennsylvania Osteopathic Medical Association (POMA),
American Academy of Osteopathy (AAO), American College for
Advancement in Medicine (ACAM).
Dr.
Lipton has received advanced training in the following
therapies: Chelation
therapy, BioIdentical Hormone Replacement, Prolozone
Injection Therapy, Oxidative Therapy, Photoluminescence,
Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Therapy (PEMF), Breast and
Whole Body Thermography.
Dr.
Lipton runs a holistic, alternative medical practice,
emphasizing interactive decision making between doctor and
patient, meaning the patient and the doctor decide together
on the best course of action.
The goal is to help the patient understand what
wellness changes need to occur to achieve desired results.
His
philosophy is based on the Latin meaning of the word
“doctor” as “one who teaches.” While a physician may
lead you to health, he or she cannot heal you. Healing is an
internal process. The best surgeon in the world cannot heal
you if, after surgery, your body does not innately close the
wounds, stop the bleeding, and repair the cut tissue.
That
said, Dr. Lipton enjoys working with people who are looking
for a medical partner to guide them on the right path toward
healing,

Rodney
Dietert
is Professor of Immunotoxicology at Cornell University,
Ithaca, NY. His interests focus on the prevention of
chronic diseases via patterns
that first emerge in children.
Diseases
rarely, if ever, occur in isolation. Instead,
most represent part of a more complex web or “pattern”
of conditions that are connected via underlying biological
mechanisms.
Understanding
patterns of disease may be used to develop new strategies
for reducing the prevalence and risk of major immune-based
illnesses.
Focusing
on patterns of disease, as opposed to individual conditions,
offers important venues for environmental health risk
reduction.
His
recent books include: Strategies
For Protecting Your Child's Immune System (World
Scientific, Singapore, Hackensack, NJ, 2010) and Immunotoxicity
Testing (as Editor: Springer, NY, 2010).
Rodney
previously directed Cornell's Program
on Breast Cancer and
Environmental Risk Factors and the Institute
for Comparative and Environmental Toxicology and
presently serves on panels for the Institute of Medicine
(Agent Orange), the WHO (Immunotoxicology Risk Assessment)
and the EPA (Trichloroethylene and Pb).
In
addition to his 34 year career as a university biomedical
professor, Rodney and his wife, Janice, are certified
practitioners in Matrix
Energetics, a system of healing, self-care and
transformation developed and taught by Dr. Richard Bartlett
and supported by modern physics, subtle energy physics, and
quantum physics.
Rodney
and Janice use Matrix Energetics in their transformational
work with clients and they can often be found staffing at
Matrix seminars. Because it has so many potential
applications, Rodney has brought Matrix Energetics into
the classroom at Cornell University as an educational tool
to expand the learning opportunities for students.
Rodney’s
overall interest is in protection against chronic disease.
He will discuss ways to blend traditional science with
modern transformational approaches to reduce health risks
and break the cycle of chronic disease.
