Focus on Detoxification
LTP Natural Medical Center employs an exclusive LTP Medical Detoxification Program.
Why Detoxify
According to recent estimates, 125 million Americans have at least one chronic condition, with that number expected to rise to 157 million by 2020. Another 60 million Americans suffer from multiple chronic conditions. Unfortunately, while advances in medical science have yielded significant responses in treating or controlling acute conditions, there has not been a similar trend in managing chronic conditions. Nearly three-quarters of all Americans experiencing a chronic condition report difficulty in obtaining the needed care from a medical specialist--not surprising, given the complexity and multifaceted nature of these conditions.
Further complicating the issue is the role that environmental toxins play in initiating or exacerbating chronic conditions. Research has demonstrated that toxins increase the extent of the severity of the symptoms by stimulating the inflammatory response. Furthermore, these toxins (many of which are man-made) have at least an additive effect--and frequently a synergistic effect--on the magnitude and duration of the inflammatory response. However, this does not imply that there is little that a patient can do! In most cases, the inflammatory response that aggravates chronic conditions can be minimized or controlled by first understanding how toxins affect the immune system and then initiating improvements to the internal and external environments to reduce the impact.
The Toxin-Inflammation Link
The extent of environmental toxins has increased exponentially since the 1930s, with the number of man-made chemicals now estimated to exceed over 160 billion kilograms per year. These chemicals then find their way from the ecosystem into our systems, causing physical and psychiatric illness.
LTP Medical Detoxification Program
Given the high level of environmental toxins that can exacerbate chronic illness, it is clear that taking a holistic approach to treating chronic illness involves addressing environmental toxicity. This addresses the root cause, reducing or disabling the environmental triggers that set off the inflammatory response, while strengthening the immune system.
One method that has achieved scientific substantiation is detoxification, whereby toxin exposure is reduced and the body's own detoxification system is supported and enhanced to function to its best ability. Not only has LTP Natural Medical Center's Detoxification Program demonstrated considerable success as a foundational approach, it is also not disease-specific, which means it can be successfully utilized to treat symptoms resulting from a wide range of chronic conditions, without the side effects that are part and parcel of many conventional treatments.

Natural Medical Center's Detoxification Program reduces toxin exposure and provides a comprehensive, well researched and effective approach to addressing the fundamental commonalities of all chronic conditions--deleterious behavior of the immune/inflammatory mechanisms--and combats the effects of environmental toxins, without further weakening the patient's health.
Although the level of environmental toxins will continue to increase, our continuing research into the area of holistic methods of detoxification will provide us with multiple methods of combating their effects, specifically in the area of reducing the inflammatory response and supporting immune function.
