Therapies & Treatment Options

Aromatherapy uses essential oils to promote and improve well-being. Some scents are relaxing, and some are energizing. The benefits come from simply inhaling the essential oil aromas. Aromatherapy massage uses pure essential oils that are custom-blended for each individual. Physical and emotional health improvements are experienced through smell and skin absorption.

Artesunate is an Artemisia-based medication currently used worldwide for its anti-malaria activity. Artemisinin is the active ingredient in Artemisia annua, also known as sweet wormwood. It can be used to treat Lyme bacterium, co-infections, and their toxic by-products, which often hide in muscle tissues as well as the brain and neurological system. Compounds, such as artesunate, work well because they can penetrate the blood-brain barrier, which is essential for treating Lyme and other chronic infections. Artensunate’s pharmacology and safety are well-studied and published in the scientific literature. At Sanoviv, Lyme disease, other chronic infections, and cancer may be treated using intravenous artesunate combined with other therapies.

Auriculotherapy is also known as “ear acupuncture.” Still, instead of using needles, a microcurrent stimulator is placed on specific points on the outer ear (auricle). It’s an FDA-approved treatment that is painless and non-invasive. Auriculotherapy helps produce natural pain-relieving endorphins, resulting in relaxation and improved well-being. It’s commonly used for smoking cessation, but it can be used to treat pain, migraine headaches, stress, anxiety, addictions, nausea, and other conditions. Auriculotherapy is a safe and effective treatment with noticeable improvements, usually after the first few sessions.  This treatment is found in our bioenergetics department.

Brainspotting is a revolutionary new therapy, used in our psychology department, that can have a profound impact on our mental and emotional well-being. Brainspotting can help in the treatment of PTSD, complex trauma, and other types of trauma that sometimes can make it harder for the body to heal or stay healthy. This therapy differs from traditional psychological therapy, as this comes from a brain/body model rather than a talk therapy model that focuses on thoughts and emotions. Learn more.

Bio-Electro-Magnetic-Energy-Regulation (BEMER) therapy’s primary goal is to temporarily improve blood circulation and recovery in healthy muscles, including the small blood vessels and capillaries (microcirculation). This device uses Pulsed Electromagnetic Field (PEMF) technology, producing waves at the low end of the spectrum. When blood flow is optimized to all tissues and organs, it can help reduce inflammation, improve energy, support relaxation, and ensure the maximum effectiveness of IV therapies.

Binders are substances that “bind” to and eliminate toxins. While your body can remove some toxins, binders can help when your toxic load is high. They may also help reduce biofilms in the gut, making toxin removal more effective (biofilms protect and hide pathogens from the immune system). Binders may be used to help clear toxin buildup, reduce gas and bloating, and prevent acute poisoning. Certain people have compromised detoxification pathways, which is when binders can be extremely helpful. Some examples of binders include bentonite clay, activated charcoal, zeolite, humic and fulvic acid, fruit pectin, and upgraded coconut charcoal. At Sanoviv, we use our UltraCleanse diet as a binder therapy and to jumpstart healthier eating.

Most people are familiar with the physical body, which includes millions of biochemical reactions that can be affected by food, lifestyle, and medications. However, many people don’t realize that we are also energetic beings with a body that generates electricity. All living things generate electricity to sustain life. The elements in our cells carry electrical charges to send vital signals to different body parts. The heart is a prime example. Electricity and blood flow are essential to maintain function.

In our Bioenergetics department, we use various tools and bioelectric therapies to restore balance and flow to the body’s energetic systems. These tools utilize various modalities to accomplish this, including microcurrents, waves, light frequencies, and magnets. Bioenergetic Therapies can support and increase the effectiveness of therapies done in other departments. This synergistic, whole-body approach to healing sets Sanoviv apart and contributes to the positive results that many people experience.

Biological dentistry is a natural approach to treating oral conditions. Instead of considering oral health separate from the health of the rest of the body, as in conventional medicine, Biological Dentistry is the bridge between oral health and your overall health. Biological Dentistry goes far beyond the cosmetic look of your teeth to identify pockets of infection or blockages that may contribute to chronic health conditions. Dental problems can often correlate with current health conditions you may be experiencing and may contribute to chronic degenerative diseases, central nervous system diseases, heavy metal load, heart and blood circulatory problems, and more. Our Biological Dentists work closely with the Sanoviv medical team to identify and treat the root cause of disease. Dental treatments, materials, and procedures are selected and performed with the person’s complete health in mind. Learn more

This therapy, available in Sanoviv’s Bioenergetics department, uses pulsating magnetic fields (PMFs) to help oxygenate cells, increase energy, reduce pain and inflammation, and regenerate tissues. The Biotron uses magnetic wave stimulation and magnets (positive-negative polarities) to target specific areas of the body.

The Body Code is a healing technique designed to identify and correct physical and emotional imbalances. The practitioner first evaluates your body’s energetic health. Next, trapped emotions are released, blocked energetic pathways are fixed, and the rest of the body’s systems are assessed. Body Code is all about restoring the energetic body to make conditions suitable for the body to heal itself. Learn more.

Chelation is an IV treatment where we use CaEDTA IV to form a chemical bond with the heavy metals found in the body.  This bond allows the body to release the heavy metals into the blood, and consequently into the other detox systems of the body: lymph, kidney, bowel, etc.

All healing begins at the cellular level.  When cells are strong, thriving, and functioning normally, the body is healthy.  Weak, damaged, toxic, or mutant cells result in disease.  With this in mind, at Sanoviv we provide an environment of healing, with a particular focus on cellular health.  Various cell therapies are used to promote cellular health, including Dendritic Cell Therapy, Stem Cell Therapy, and more directly impact your health on the cellular level.

Chiropractic is grounded in the principle that the body can heal itself when the skeletal system is correctly aligned, and the nervous system is functioning properly. To achieve this, the practitioner uses his or her hands or an adjusting tool to perform specific manipulations of the vertebrae. It can benefit people with specific imbalances and illnesses in their body or can be used for prevention. Our chiropractors use Applied Kinesiology as a tool to find the root cause of those imbalances in body and assess if the cause is mostly structural, biochemical or emotional.

Colon Hydrotherapy is a safe and effective treatment used to remove debris and toxic waste build-up in the intestines, using pure water. This is one of the most powerful detoxifying therapies that can be done to cleanse the colon.  When combined with wheat grass juice implant, there is an increased response in detoxification and cleansing of the colon. It can also improve overall digestive function.  Learn more about Colon Hydrotherapy.

This is a surgical procedure where instead of removing the tumor, it is frozen in place, effectively killing the tumor. Afterward, it slowly dissolved into the surrounding tissues. This procedure is performed at an outside surgical center.  We are currently not performing surgeries at Sanoviv.

Dendritic Cells are part of the body’s own immune system that can be used as a potent, non-toxic form of immunotherapy use to treat cancer.  This therapy uses the body’s own tumor tissue and white blood cells to create mature dendritic cells that are then reintroduced into the body to activate the T-cells of the immune system to fight and destroy cancer tumor cells. Thus, dendritic cell therapy is also considered to be a vaccine therapy.  This immune therapy helps to address the circulating tumor cells to reduce the risk of a metastasis.  Learn more about Dendritic Cell Antigen Therapy.   The biopsy is performed at an outside surgical center.  We are currently not performing surgeries at Sanoviv.

The mercury contained in amalgam (silver) fillings is among the most toxic substances known to man. Patients with amalgam fillings accumulate mercury, which can interfere with virtually any process of any organ of the body. 

Amalgam Removal is designed to safely replace mercury fillings taking into account the body’s natural main detoxification pathways. The biological dental team is structured, uses special equipment and the safest protocol for removal of mercury to protect you, the personnel, and the environment. Learn more.

When pockets of infection form in the oral cavity, they can affect the overall health of the individual and contribute to chronic disease.  In our Biological Dentistry department cavitation surgeries can put these patients back on the road to health. Learn more

Pancreatic enzymes are well known in the physiology of digestion of fat and carbs. In cancer patients or patients with chronic diseases, digestion and nutrition absorption are often significantly compromised.  These enzymes are useful to reduce systemic inflammation, and to dissolve the protective coating around cancer cells.

This therapy is available in our bio-energetics department at Sanoviv.  Equiscope is a pain-management micro current device designed to treat neural tissues and connective tissue, stimulating detoxification pathways on the cellular membrane. It also can reach and work via meridians, chakras, reflex points, acupuncture points and nervous system via spinal and brain waves to support the treatment of chronic disease.  Equiscope therapy is among the most effective methods of pain relief available today.  It may also be used to speed the healing process, reduce inflammation, enhance skin tone and appearance, and to stimulate detox.

Fitness is a critical aspect of healing, but it needs to be based on the specific needs of each guest to support their individual situation. Our Fitness experts can offer a wide range of services in these sessions, like designing a specific exercise program for the guest to follow, especially when they are new to this; modifying a current exercise plan if results or expectations are not being met; and specific therapeutic support in healing any type of lesion or physical deficiency.

Our digestive system contains trillions of bacteria cells, with many diverse species called the microbiome.  When properly balanced, these bacteria help with digestion and keep you healthy.  But, when the bacteria become unbalanced, or when unhealthy strains such as C. difficile become dominant, it can lead to many health problems.  Antibiotics can make this worse by destroying healthy bacteria.  FMT is transplanting a fecal preparation from a carefully screened, healthy donor to a patient. This can help to repopulate healthy bacteria and restore the balanced microbiome community.  There are various methods of administration.  FMT has a cure rate of up to 80% of C. Diff sufferers and may help with other gastrointestinal problems.

Glutathione is the second most prevalent molecule in our body, and is critical for immune function and controlling inflammation.  It is the master detoxifier and the body’s main antioxidant, protecting our cells and making our energy metabolism run well. When administered as an IV, it can stimulate detoxification.

At Sanoviv we regularly offer our guests homeopathic treatments for their health issues. We have trained staff in Classical Homeopathy and Homotoxicology, and we apply both disciplines depending on the nature of the illness or the desired therapeutic effect. Learn more about homeopathy and homotoxicology at Sanoviv.

HBOT therapy can improve the oxygenation levels and saturation in the body. It can promote the growth of new blood vessels resulting in the increase of blood flow, which can be helpful in heart conditions. It also promotes the production of antioxidants and is recommended for anti-aging purposes. Sanoviv has three hard-shell, professional hyperbaric oxygen chambers.  HBOT can increase the oxygen concentration in the body 10 to 15 times more than what is delivered at normal atmospheric levels or at sea level, allowing the oxygen to reach tissues with compromised circulatory function and increasing the oxygen entering the blood stream.  This allows the oxygen to reach difficult parts of the body like bones, plasma, the brain and central nervous system as well as the lymphatic system, and aid in healing.  Learn more

Therapeutic hyperthermia refers to heating the body in a specific way to treat illness directly or intensify the effect of other therapies.  Hyperthermia is a powerful immunotherapy, as well as a proven primary treatment for chronic infectious diseases.  At Sanoviv we use both Regional Hyperthermia (using the Celsius 42+ equipment from Germany) and Whole Body Whole Body Hyperthermia (using the Heckel HT3000 equipment from Germany).  To be effective, hyperthermia must be done with high quality equipment in a hospital setting and an environment of detoxification.  Using an inferior heat source or method may technically be referred to hyperthermia, but will not have the advanced therapeutic effect found at Sanoviv.

Immune Modulation therapy brings the ratio of different types of immune cells back into balance so that they can perform their critical function to search, detect, and destroy foreign or diseased cells.  Balancing the immune system is much better than simply stimulating the immune system (which could cause it to over react and attack healthy cells).  Restoring healthy immune function is especially important for those with cancer.  There are various types of therapies that modulate the immune system, including Transfer Factor, Peptide Therapies, T-Cell Modulators, etc.

Immunotherapy refers to a whole category of treatments that work WITH the immune system, in contrast with other types of cancer therapies that suppress the immune system and attempt to attack the cancer directly.  Immunotherapies have been around for many years but are just getting the attention of the traditional medical community.  Examples of immunotherapies include Dendritic Cell Antigen Therapy, Hyperthermia, Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, Ozone, T-Cell Modulation (TCM) therapies, Specific Tumor Vaccines, and many more.

Conventional cancer therapies such as chemotherapy are rarely used at Sanoviv because our first choice is to pursue natural therapies, such as immunotherapy.  However, there are cases when targeted, low dose chemotherapies can contribute to the overall healing strategy for a patient.  

In rare circumstances where our doctors feel that radiotherapy could enhance the patient’s overall healing strategy, it may be used in conjunction with other therapies such as regional hyperthermia to enhance the effect.

A medical spa therapy that promotes the healthy flow of lymph, which carries waste out of the tissues.  It can reduce blockages in the lymphatic system, sooth swelling in the lymph area, and help clear/drain the lymphatic system.   Lymphatic massage is one of the many ways we stimulate the lymphatic system, an important detox pathway.

Ozone therapy, administered directly into the bloodstream is called Major Autohemotherapy.  It can enhance your antioxidant enzymes, improving your ability to modulate oxidative stress, improve delivery of oxygen, activate and modulate immune and growth factors, increase the release of nitric oxide, generate super-gifted erythrocytes, and release stem cells.  Blood is passed through a UV filter which can help to reduce or eliminate unwanted bacteria, viruses, fungi, yeast, and other pathogens.

Increasing evidence indicates that cancer can be considered a metabolic disease because malignant cells change the way they function.  They become increasingly dependent on glucose and glutamine as energy sources and change the way they respond to their environment.  This contributes to their rapid growth.  But, it also reveals potential weaknesses.  Sanoviv uses specific metabolic cancer protocols to exploit these weaknesses, which supports and enhances the effectiveness of other cancer therapies. These protocols include dietary changes to significantly reduce glucose, and therapies to increase oxygen levels, all carefully timed for maximum effectiveness.
