Dr. Mary Enig MS (Nutritional Sciences), Ph.D. did original research that showed a positive link between vegetable oil and cancer and a negative correlation for animal fat. She originated comprehensive analysis of transfatty acid components of over 200 foods. transfatty acids are formed when vegetable oils are hydrogenated or heated to high temperatures. With high temperatures, transfatty acids are fats that are twisted, which alter their natural "cis" shape. She studied how the transfatty acids from foods affected the liver's mixed function oxidase enzyme system that metabolizes drugs and environmental pollutants in the body.
Mary Enig IS the reason you have heard the term "trans fat" More importantly, she was brave enough to blow the whistle and stand up to the industry about why "hydrogenated Oils"are making us all so sick.

Jill Avery Zuleeg, one of the three founders of All By Myself, Inc.
Jill searched everywhere for a video to reinforce her son's step of independence but found none. Inspired by her son's self-empowerment, she thought, "Why not create a video?"
Jill explained her idea to friends, Michele Free and Carmela Zamora Robertson, both moms and Jill's former colleagues at Apple Computer, Inc., and the trio decided, "Let's do it all by ourselves!" The concept revealed a name for their enterprise, and offered the trio the challenge of creating the All By Myself™ unique video series, which tackles the inevitable challenges all young children must face, and perhaps more importantly, conquer.

Our training prepared us as holistic, drugless, non-surgical primary care Physicians. We are able to diagnose and treat most conditions that would take you to a general medical physician.
If we are not able to find a solution to your problem, we will make the appropriate referral to a doctor who can.
What makes us unique and different is how we approach your care.
We are "Systems Doctors" instead of "Symptom Doctors". We operate with the understanding that the body is designed to function properly, indefinitely, as long as all the systems are functioning optimally. If you have symptoms, no matter what they are, it is an indication that the systems of your body are out of balance.
Our job is to help you regain your health by bringing the various systems of the body back into optimal balance.
