Dr. Kirk Slagel-

Posted By admin on November 13, 2008

Dr. Slagel’s Natural Medicine practice is based upon the European Biological Medicine Model. This model is defined below:

Biological Medicine: is an art of healing which is, in its diagnostic and therapeutic efforts, oriented to living processes. It employs therapeutic measures in order to work in harmony with the natural capabilities of the organism for its own regulation, regeneration, adaptation and self-healing. The chief guiding principle is preservation and support of the integrity of the human being.

Biological Medicine: encompasses diagnostic and therapeutic measures which utilize all the material, energetic, and informative possibilities of regulation and reaction of the human organism, in the attempt to mobilize its powers of regeneration and self-healing.

Biological Therapy: is oriented along holistic standpoints. The human being as an integral biosystem represents the guideline of therapeutic action. Measures of biological therapy are taken in accordance with a view of the human being which includes body, soul, and spirit as elements- each unique in its own right.

Areas and issues of focus

Men’s Health- general wellness issues, digestive disorders, stress management, private counseling. Men offer their own unique spectrum of wellness disharmonies that respond well with natural, biological medicine therapies.

Pediatrics- Children respond favorably to natural medicine, often with just a few simple remedies. Dr. Slagel holds a special place in his heart when it comes to working with children. He has three of his own, all delivered naturally at home, and whom have always been treated with natural medicines. Dr. Slagel worked extensively with children in his former career as an outdoor guide.

Skin disorders- the skin, being an eliminatory organ, is often effected by the wellness of digestion. Therefore, to treat the skin one needs to assess the capability to properly digest one’s foods and detoxify non-beneficial substances.

Gastro-intestinal issues- A leading cause of problems in today’s lifestyle, Dr. Slagel offers food allergy testing, and individually profiled diet plans, along with nutraceutical and homeopathic support. One may also receive mind/body counseling to help understand and repattern dietary issues.

Genito-urinary issues- female and male concerns are addressed using standard testing sources, if necessary, mind/body support and natural therapies, often with success.

Psycho-emotional-spiritual concerns- Numerous studies and research has illustrated the association between psycho-emotional issues and physical ailments. Supporting the whole body may include discussions about the possibilities of links between these issues and the physical concerns. Dr. Slagel offers private discussion sessions for men, along with typical clinical and laboratory assessments.

Dr. Slagel has been trained in a number of mind/body techniques including: medical hypnosis and guided imagery, neuro-linguistic programming, color re-patterning and somatic release via acupressure points.

In addition, Dr. Slagel has developed his own technique of emotional release that allows realization of the issues without the unnecessary emotional triggers.

Scar therapy- Scar therapy was developed in Germany as one facet of Neural Therapy- the treatment of various illness patterns through effecting the associated neurological complex. Scars effect the body on many levels:

1. They can interfere with Ayurvedic and Acupuncture points and meridians.

2. They can alter the local cellular communication and function.

3. They can represent a disharmonious tissue pattern associated with a neurological response that results in pain, energy drain and organ dysfunction.

Dr. Slagel utilizes various natural, homeopathic medicines to effect the scar and assist in removing pain, and neurological imbalances associated with the scar.

Modalities used

SANUM isopathic/homeopathic medicine- is a specialized form of homeopathy, developed in Germany over 75 years ago, that utilizes various bacterial and fungal forms that have been shown to be therapeutically active in humans in treating acute and chronic disease. Dr. Slagel is the Medical Director for the U.S. Distributor of the SANUM Remedies and teaches SANUM Therapy classes throughout the U.S. and Canada.

Functional nutrition- is based upon determining the optimal diet plan for the individual. This may be developed through the patient’s own feedback, food allergy panels and functional digestive lab testing.

Mind-Body techniques- Dr. Slagel has developed his own technique of counseling using a multi-facted and sometimes quite rapid approach. He incorporates an intuitive medical system, which occured through many years of leading groups of people on wilderness adventures and which was brought to a conscious level over the course of a multitude of life-changing events he experienced in the early 1990’s. These experiences have enabled Dr. Slagel to often perceive and assist the patient in drawing conclusions of pertinent life events, metaphors and information that enables the patient to further facilitate her/his healing process.
