INTEGRATIVE MEDICINE
Integrative Medicine is the combination of conventional practice with complimentary medicine by integrating these two approaches to find the best therapies that would facilitate a patient’s healing and treatment, as well as for prevention and wellness.
Integrative medicine emphasizes the following principles:
-
The natural healing power of the human body.
-
A therapeutic relationship that makes use of both conventional and complementary medicine to promote good health and wellness.
-
A type of medicine that takes a whole person approach.
-
The importance of good lifestyle choices for disease prevention.
-
The critical role of the doctor-patient relationship is important to initiate healing before any treatment is offered.
At DAUN HEALTH CENTER, we focus on beyond health by educating our patients with ideal health practices and decreasing the risk of developing disease, rather than treating disease when it has already formed in the body.
Through Integrative Medicine we can lead meaningful lives by striking a balance of the mind, body and spirit, as well as all aspects of our lifestyle.

“ My personal experience with Vit C goes back in early 2000s' when I was introduced by friends who drives all the way to Pasadena from San Diego to get intravenous shot from a clinic that offers a combo of Vit C and Gluthathione as super anti-oxidant. I was unaware of the benefits back then. But, I started taking them orally since then. Then, in 2013 I met these couple and visited their clinic in N Hollywood, and was given the inside scoop about this wonder mix. Discover the secret.....see Dr. John Ang.

My wife Marilyn was suffering from intense pain and swelling on her ankle and right hand so she can hardly walk. Dr. Ang treated her which we're so grateful and amazed because the following day, she was able to walk and move her hand with very minimal pain and swelling.

IV NUTRIENT THERAPY
Intravenous Therapy (IV) has come to form the backbone of modern medicine and would have been severely hindered without it. It is the process of providing valuable nutrients to the body intravenously. Introducing vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other essential micro nutrients directly into the bloodstream bypassing the digestive system has shown to be more effective in correcting some nutritional deficiencies than taking these vitamin supplements orally. When the vitamins are administered intravenously, absorption directly into the cells of your body of these essential vitamins especially glutathione (which helps in liver detoxification) is guaranteed to make it more effective in –
-
Lowering inflammation
-
Lowering oxidative stress (rusting in the body)
-
Removing toxins from the cells of the body
-
Supporting the power plants of a cell (mitochondria) to make energy.
Though unknown to most people, medical research has indicated that maintaining glutathione levels has been found to protect the body from neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and multiple sclerosis.
Suggested therapy:
-
For disease prevention – and in order to see any significant results, at least 4-8 sessions within a two month period, depending on the patient’s medical condition and maintenance of one to two sessions a month.
-
To compliment cancer care – once or twice a week for 12 weeks or more until control of the disease is achieved.
IV therapy may be used to treat a vast amount of medical conditions.
The most common of these are:
-
Acute strain or injury
-
Acute viral illness
-
Aging
-
Asthma
-
Chronic fatigue

Chronic sinusitis
-
Coronary artery disease (hypertension)

Bio-Identical
Hormone Replacement Therapy
Treatment with medications that contain hormones that have the same chemical formula as those naturally found in the body is referred to as “bio-identical” hormones. These hormones act as the body’s chemical communication network by sending messages from one part of the body to another.
Bio-identical hormones are made of natural progesterone, estrogens and androgens as single or multiple ingredient prescriptions. It restores hormonal balance providing protection against heart disease, reduces the risks of breast cancer and improves cholesterol and lipid profile levels.
Suggested therapy:
-
Depending on medical condition of patient, at least once every six months or once a year.

Spiritual Care
Quoting this poet, which became our inspiration for our services at DAUN HEALTH CENTER.
In original Latin:
orandum est ut sit mens sana in corpore sano.
fortem posce animum mortis terrore carentem,
qui spatium vitae extremum inter munera ponat
naturae, qui ferre queat quoscumque labores,
nesciat irasci, cupiat nihil et potiores
Herculis aerumnas credat saevosque labores
et venere et cenis et pluma Sardanapalli.
monstro quod ipse tibi possis dare; semita certe
tranquillae per virtutem patet unica vitae.
—Roman poet Juvenal
English translation:
You should pray for a healthy mind in a healthy body.
Ask for a stout heart that has no fear of death,
and deems length of days the least of Nature's gifts
that can endure any kind of toil,
that knows neither wrath nor desire and thinks
the woes and hard labors of Hercules better than
the loves and banquets and downy cushions of Sardanapalus.
What I commend to you, you can give to yourself;
For assuredly, the only road to a life of peace is virtue
