Advanced Medical Health Clinic is unique for many reasons. Please see SERVICES for details of our cutting-edge technologies and treatments used at our clinic. In addition, there are many highly effective Home Remedies that we will share with you. Unfortunately, there are quite a number of scams on the Internet.
The THREE MOST FLAGRANT SCAMS are:
1) Foot Baths in which the electrolyzed foot water turns a brown color after use. This is due to the feet promoting the actual electrolysis and causing the electrodes to give off ionic iron (brown in color), NOT toxins from your feet. To cross-check this, just simply change the electrodes to stainless steel and NO brown residue will be present.
2) Alkaline Water is a scam. Most of these treatments actually put a small amount of detergent into your water to change the pH to Basic. The human body does not need any assistance in regulating the many different pHs associated with the blood and organs. Please see the following website for a good understanding of body pH and why Alkaline water is a scam: http://www.chem1.com/CQ/ionbunk.html
3) Oxygenated Water is a great placebo, but does not deliver oxygen like our lungs and blood/respiratory system.
Further , any website that does NOT list a phone number for service or support should be avoided.

HOME REMEDIES – Will accept phone calls to explain any home remedy listed or not listed*.
1. Muscle cramps and spasms. Get relief by taking a couple of swigs of pickle juice or apple cider vinegar. The vinegar is acetic acid which the human body turns into acetylcholine. This is a neurotransmitter that relaxes the muscles, thereby dissolving cramps. l
2. Blood blisters. Let them go away by themselves over a period of weeks, to months, to years, -or- dowse the area with alcohol and use a sterile needle to uncover or very sticky tape and peel back the dead skin holding the blood of the blister. Wipe the small amount of blood away and remove the covering skin. New skin will grow back rather quickly without a disfiguring blood blister spot.
3. Burns. Apply cold and/or ice packs right away. Seek medical assistance as soon as possible. Also see THE FLASH vol 1 issue 1, the AMHC bi-monthly newsletter under EVENTS. AMHC performs miracles on burns, see Steven’s story. AMHC’s Silver 7 laser device turns burns into “baby-faced” skin. The Mayo Clinic in Arizona supports the cold laser to heal scars and burns, see the website: https://newsnetwork.mayoclinic.org/discussion/laser-therapy-for-skin-regeneration/
4. Splinters. Do not leave splinters in your body. If you cannot remove them yourself, find a loved one or friend to do it. It’s a rather simple procedure, usually using a sterile needle with alcohol. Make sure you peel the dead skin on top of the splinter back and REMOVE it to be 100% sure that the splinter has been removed. If you can’t get it, see your family physician.
5. Ant Bites. Apply several drops of tea oil or vinegar to relieve the pain and itching. Use an ice cube to reduce pain and swelling. Also bleach or ammonia can relieve the pain, just be careful with these products. Warning: If you experience hives or severe swelling, severe chest pains, difficulty breathing, slurred speech, or dizziness and nausea after being bitten by ants, see your family doctor right away or go to the emergency room.
6. Spider bites. Immediately apply a cold or ice pack. Call our clinic for advice – AMHC treats spider bites with excellent results. AMHC denatures the toxin with an approved Medical Taser. Please do your best to identify the species of spider that bit you. Some spider bites, such as brown recluse and black widows, inject toxins that can cause necrosis (i.e., eating away of your skin and muscle) of the area around the bite and in some cases this can be life threatening. If you can’t call our clinic for advise, then get yourself into your family doctor or the emergency room for treatment immediately. The spider wound will grow and the spider toxin will spread unless treated within 24 hours (spider TOXIN).
7. Snake Bites. It’s best if you have an approved Snake Bite Kit handy to properly suck out the snake venom. If you are able to suck out the venom using the KIT, please call our clinic right away for further advise. If you live in a known snake invested area, make sure you have an approved Snake Bite Kit. DO NOT cut the skin and manually suck out the venom, you will make the venom spread more rapidly if you do so. If the bite is poisonous, you must NOT panic. So be calm and apply an ice pack or cold pack IMMEDIATELY. Know that any sped up heart rate will make the venom absorb much faster. Also know that you must get treatment immediately, you generally have about 30-50 minutes (snake VENOM) before very serious complications occur. If you can have someone safely catch and contain the snake, then go into emergency right away with the snake contained. Snakes with round eyes and no facial pits between the nostril and eye are NOT poisonous, others must be identified by experts. If treated early, AMHC treats snake bites with excellent results. AMHC uses an approved Medical Taser to denature the venom.
8. Light Therapy for Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD). If you know that you have SAD, then there’s 3 approaches for natural relief of your symptoms: a) Bright white light therapy (about 10,000 lux), b) Blue light therapy 470 nm, 100 lux, irradiance 1.0 Watt/m2 and c) Green light therapy (about 400 lux). We recommend the least invasive and least costly blue light system which can be ordered via the Internet or obtained through AMHC.
9. Effective Chelation Therapy at Home. If you have symptoms of heavy metal toxins in your body, you can test for them using blood, urine or hair analysis. Hair analysis is the most comprehensive and covers 6 weeks of history. If you are confirmed to have these toxins, you can perform a low cost and controlled chelation at home. We recommend a product to be used for 90 days (2 x 45 days) called Heavy Metal Detox (HMD) org. 1972 now distributed by Nature’s Sunshine. The HMD formula has been scientifically proven to cleanse and eliminate: Mercury, Lead, Cadmium, Aluminum, Arsenic, Uranium, Antimony & Nickle. This can be ordered via the Internet. Without testing, it is safe to use the low cost organic Cilantro & Chorella detox.
10. MOLD – Do It Yourself Test Kit.
Did you know there’s a real easy way to check for MOLD in your house and/or automobile? You can go to Lowe’s or Home Depot and purchase a mold test kit for only $10. It’s from a company called Pro-Lab and you get results the next day. If you grow a bunch of mold on the test surface, then you had better find ways to get the mold out of your house or car, since mold can cause significant health problems, especially “black mold”.
11. Bee’s Honey vapors can significantly help Respiratory Problems.
There’s another interesting company called “Bee Healthy Farms”. They market a wonderful product called PROPOLIS DIFFUSERS. As it works out, bees have a natural defense against all sorts of bacteria with the “propolis”. Here’s their website:
12. Stop Smoking easily with E-Cigarettes. BUT DON’T GET INTO VAPPING.
Electronic cigarettes can be a method to help smokers stop smoking tobacco, thus improving their health and their loved ones’ health who used to take in their second hand smoke.
Most people may not realize that the human brain has nicotic receptors and makes its own nicotine. Over a period of time, tobacco smokers supply more nicotine and the brain relies on that as its dosage. Even in the normal “non-smokers” brain, we need nicotine to keep alert and have a better memory.
Electronic cigarettes come with different levels of nicotine and totally avoid all the health risks of smoking tobacco. Recommend starting with 11 mg of nicotine, then lowering to minimum of 7 mg. Over time, this is a great way to ween yourself from smoking.

13. Phantom Pain Therapy
AMHC recommends a rather simple and innovative method to eliminate phantom pain. It’s called the “mirror-box” technique. Specific parts of the body may have been removed by an industrial accident or by an act of war, yet the missing body part seems to send a pain signal to the brain. This is called phantom pain. More than 700 U.S. soldiers have lost limbs after being wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan. Although there are no hard numbers, experts believe phantom limb pain afflicts from 50 percent to 90 percent of amputees. In addition, at least this same number of patients have phantom pain due to industrial accidents who may have blown off a hand, arm, foot or leg. This ailment is often impervious to pain treatments when prescribed by a physician without neurological specific expertise. Many patients end up on drugs such as Oxycontin or Percocet; and as powerful as the medicines are, they seldom work.
Hand exercises for a missing hand using the mirror box. Here is a typical story: On the morning of July 2, 2006, Sgt. Nick Paupore was driving the lead Humvee in a convoy near Kirkuk, in northern Iraq, when a roadside bomb blew off his right leg above the knee. Within 48 hours, he was at Walter Reed Army Medical Center in Washington, where he has spent 18 months recovering. Soon after arriving, Paupore began to feel excruciating pain – in his missing leg. “It felt like someone was shocking me, like someone was putting an electrode on the back of my (missing) ankle.” He tried several painkillers, including methadone, but the pain didn’t let up. Then a Navy neurologist, Dr. Jack Tsao, convinced him to try a new approach that requires patients to carefully exercise both limbs while viewing the action in a mirror. “As soon as I started the treatment, I noticed a remarkable change,” says Paupore, who has stopped taking painkillers. “I could see really big improvement, really fast.”
Added comment by Dr. Gil: “The mirror helps convince the brain into temporarily believing there’s a real limb there (in the mirror). The effectiveness of the methodology is enhanced if you block the patient’s view of the injured limb during the mirrored exercise.” “This is why many practitioners call this the “mirrored-box” technique, because the injured limb is put inside a non-see-through box, like the one shown in the above photo for an amputated hand.”
At our clinic, we encourage our “phantom pain patients” to use Google on the internet and research this “mirror box” technique, then come into the office for a no-charge education for self treatment. We have mirror box expertise and will set it up for the missing body part, then give the proper exercise procedures to train the brain to re-program via natural biofeedback.
In addition, we will be happy to discuss your condition without any charge and make suggestions to help you eliminate your phantom pain via a telephone call. Yes, you can get rid of your phantom pain during the phone call!
For those who may have had Phantom Pain for 10 years or more, we will refer you to a professional who uses a technique called EFT Tapping. This methodology allows one to enter an Alpha brain-state and induce a form of self-hypnosis while awake. EFT has proven to be highly effective at minimizing and eliminating many types of chronic pain, including long-term Phantom Limb pain.
A viable study that significantly supports the “mirror” methodology is:
