Dr. Hatlestad states, ” For me, Integrative Medicine draws on the best aspects of different medical traditions and innovative practices to provide new ways of thinking about Health and Disease. This includes taking advantage of the best of what conventional medicine has to offer. I enjoy helping patients transcend a common understanding of their illness to achieve a new level of responsibility for their health; finding treatment plans that align with their agendas and empowering them a partner toward optimal wellness.”

The approach is individualized based on a number of factors including test results, symptomology, what has been done with the patient, and what hasn’t as well as history.
Thank you for your interest. Cardio Renew is not a product we would use. It is, as you say, an oral supplement, with absorption claims as high as 98%. As far as I know there is no research to support that. We support the use of EDTA IV and suppository as well as other chelators. There are many other doctors, including naturopaths who may take a different view. EDTA is a common preservative in many food products. Please call the office for more information regarding visits.
