Alternative Holistic Medicine

As a licensed MD, he occasionally uses prescription medicines, but he prefers, and mainly utilizes, herbs, vitamins, minerals, nutrition and life style changes to facilitate [...]

Candida Yeast Programs

We have been treating people with the candida/yeast syndrome for over 20 years. Do you have unusual symptoms that have eluded diagnosis? Does your doctor want to put you on tranquilizers because of your symptoms? Have you ever read Dr. Crook’s “The Yeast Connection“? Candida has become quite resistant to most treatments. Nowadays, we have [...]

Cardiograms (EKG, ECG)

An electrocardiogram, or EKG, is a simple, painless test that records the heart’s electrical activity. To understand this test, it helps to understand how the heart works. With each heartbeat, an electrical signal spreads from the top of the heart to the bottom. As it travels, the signal causes the heart to contract and pump [...]

Diagnostic/Lab Tests

We can draw the blood and obtain other specimens in our offices, or in a lab or hospital close to you. The samples are processed the same day, and the results are available within 48 hours as a rule. We use the largest clinical labs in the world, to offer practically any laboratory test known, [...]

Chelation Therapy

We have been trained at ACAM (American College for Advancement of Medicine) to administer IV EDTA chelation treatments.

Diet Counseling and Monitoring

We do not have “a diet” that we give everyone; instead we custom make each diet in accordance to the patient’s condition and lab results.

Food Allergy Tests

Comprehensive Antibody Assessment The Comprehensive Antibody Assessment is unique. It targets not only likely causes of immediate (IgE) allergic reactions, but also possible sources of delayed (IgG) reactions — the so-called “hidden allergies,” whose effects may not show up for hours or even days after exposure to an antigenic substance. Hidden allergies can trigger a [...]

Hair Analysis

Is hair analysis clinically useful? Yes, as long as it is not over-utilized or over-interpreted. Hair element analysis provides important information which, in conjunction with the patient’s symptoms, medical history, and other laboratory results, can assist the physician with an early diagnosis of physiological disorders associated with aberrations in essential and toxic element metabolism. Hair [...]

Hormone Testing – Saliva

The current standard for hormone level testing is a blood test. This test measures the amount of hormones that are protein bound in the blood. Biologically active hormones in the body are not protein bound. This raises the question: if blood tests only measure hormones that are protein bound and biologically active hormones are not [...]

Hydrogen Peroxide Therapy

Our experience has led us to expect excellent, immediate results with Oxidative Therapy. However, because we do not have access to long-term safety data (20+ years), Dr. Manso will only perform it upon request. What is Oxidative Therapy? Most biochemical reactions in the body are ‘Balanced’ through ‘Redox’ mechanisms. Redox means (Red)uction (Ox)idation. Chemically anytime [...]

Intravenous Vitamin Treatments

We custom-make a variety of “nutritional IV’s”, such as “Meyer’s Cocktails”, Glutathione, vitamins and minerals. We give I.V. treatments Monday through Friday, from 9 to 5. Normally treatments last for 45 minutes to 1 hour, and the cost varies with the I.V., from $50.00 – $100.00.

Nutritional Assessment

Why do I need a personal vitamin analysis? The patented FIA tests identify how well vitamins, minerals, antioxidant systems, amino acids, fatty acids, and metabolites actually work within your own living white blood cells (lymphocytes). FIA provides the information that you and your doctor need to identify and correct your deficiencies. How is FIA different [...]

Vitamins, Herbs & Supplements

The doctors at The Whole Health Center have extensive experience in the use of herbal remedies and supplements. We use these in preference to prescriptions whenever possible.

Chelation Therapy: Good for more than lead poisoning

If you were to undergo chelation (key-LAY-shun) therapy you would recline comfortably in a lounge chair for three-and-a half hours or more while an intravenous solution slowly trickled into your bloodstream. In the meantime, you could nap, talk, read, or watch television. Any discomfort or pain would be unlikely.

The intravenous solution would include a chelating agent — usually a synthetic amino acid called ethyl-enediaminetetraacetic acid (EDTA) — along with various vitamins and minerals. The EDTA would seek out toxic metals within your body, such as lead, calcium, aluminum, and mercury. It would also find certain minerals such as calcium, the “glue” in artery plaque. EDTA would then wrap itself around these substances and pull them out of your body via your kidneys.
