A Merry Heart Doeth Good like a Medicine -Proverbs Center for Holistic Healing The Center for Holistic Healing offers an innovative approach to wellness through integrative health modalities. We view healing as an art, tailored to each individual by harmonizing three essential components of wellness. These elements are deeply interconnected and inseparable, guiding one's path towards complete health and wellness. ​ There are 3 components to wellness: Wellness of the spirit Wellness of the soul - will, mind, emotions Wellness in the physical body This is wellness in spirit-soul-body . One of these three components will show itself to be dominant in each individual during an assessment. We look at the whole picture in the person, not just the physical symptoms. Therefore, it is important to understand all three components of wellness and identify the most immediate and primary need in order to formulate an effective plan of care. At the Center for Holistic Healing in Dallas, we understand that optimal health and wellness require a comprehensive approach. ​ ​ “Wherever the art of medicine is loved, there is also a love of humanity." -Hippocrates Julia Schulenburg BSN, RN, ND, CLT established the Center for Holistic Healing in Dallas, TX in 2006. She is a registered nurse with a Bachelors in Science, a certified naturopathic doctor, and a certified manual lymphatic drainage and decongestive therapist. With her medical experience in allopathic medicine, acute care, and education, she is uniquely qualified to provide an integrative approach to health and wellness. Her compassion for others and a desire to help them holistically in spirit, soul, and body carries over into how she operates as an integrative practitioner with a whole person point of view. Read More We Support You Lyme Challenges With the integration of allopathic medicine and naturopathy, the Center for Holistic Healing has developed specialized methods for helping individuals with complex variants of Lyme and its associated co-infections. They can experience relief from neurological and visual disturbances, complaints of brain fog, joint pain, ADD/ADHD – like symptoms, complaints of chronic fatigue, neuro-degenerative challenges, and intestinal discomforts. ​ Learn More Detoxification Louis Pasteur said, “The terrain is everything.” We have developed unique methods of detoxification to help achieve a clean internal environment and eliminate toxic heavy metals, chemicals, pesticides, and vaccine toxins. We help individuals with genetic SNiPs who have difficulty eliminating toxins. Detoxification also helps those suffering from allergies, cancer, arthritis, auto-immune disorders, anxiety, and other inflammatory conditions. Learn More Microbial Overgrowth Toxins create an environment in the tissues that support the growth of harmful micro-organisms which stresses the immune system. Antoine Bechamp and Louis Pasteur said microbes morph inside us because of the toxic tissue - “terrain”. Multiple strains of pathogens have also shown to be fueled by toxins and chronic exposure to toxic electro-magnetic field radiation. Learn More Hope where there is no Hope Healing where there is no Healing Bio-Energetic Frequency Therapy & Laser Energetic Detoxification Energy Medicine What is Naturopathy? Based on my experience, three fundamental axioms define alternative medicine as I know it. ​ All illness, especially chronic illness, is caused by the presence of toxic substances. Organisms, emotions and/or beliefs in the body. The best route to healing is to remove the toxins and reinforce the body’s innate ability to eliminate them. Every person is unique bio-chemically, electrically, emotionally and spiritually. The body’s energy field can be used to understand each person’s uniqueness and to detect and eliminate the relevant toxins. -Richard F. Tozer, DBA My son had bad seasonal allergies. There was significant improvement with his allergies after Julia treated him. She’s terrific! -Cindy Brinker Simmons When I came to Julia, I had been so sick for almost 9 months with diagnosed Lyme. I tried antibiotics and conventional medicine. I couldn't tolerate medicines or supplements. Almost bedridden, my parents had to move in with me and my husband to help care for our young children. About the 4th week into treatment, I was so much less sore and my muscles were not so feeble. Over the next several months, I drastically improved. It wasn't overnight, but huge improvements happened and I was able to tolerate supplements that my body needed but previously rejected. Over the next year, my health was completely restored to a "normal life". Sincerely, -Brittani

Lyme Challenges Lyme disease is commonly recognized by the public as an infectious disease caused by the Borrelia bacterium. There are roughly two dozen species in the Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato complex. But not all are human pathogens. Various species are further divided into hundreds of strains worldwide. A health care provider should consider the probability of other co-infections usually associated with Lyme, such as Babesia, Anaplasma, Ehrlichia, and Bartonella. These co-infections can cause symptoms of their own. Lyme can affect any system of the body such as the neurological system, lymphatic system, circulatory system, detoxification systems, the joint and muscular structures, heart, brain, digestive system and the brain. Typical acute symptoms include fever, headache, fatigue, and a characteristic skin rash called erythema migrans. Some people may experience numbness or tingling in some areas which can be mistaken for other neurological diseases. The most complex cases are multi-faceted with long-term symptoms. It is not uncommon to find associated psyche-emotional involvement, a history of trauma, genetic snps, and multi-organ system stress. Visual disturbances, chronic fatigue, generalized joint and myo-fascial ache, brain fog, and seizures are other reported complaints. Some individuals have difficulty metabolizing and absorbing herbal remedies and supplements. The Center for Holistic Healing welcomes the simple and most complex cases to help individuals return to an active life. Lyme Disease most commonly is acquired from the bite of an infected black-legged tick. But there have been multiple reports and articles indicating that it is spread by other means as well. Testing at a time within the first few weeks of exposure after signs of EM is unlikely to give a positive result because it takes time to develop antibodies to the infection. Current tests sometimes fail to identify patients who do have Lyme disease if testing is done too early or too late in the illness. A negative test result alone is not sufficient to definitively rule out Lyme disease as the cause of your symptoms. Common tests for Lyme disease include ELISAs and Western blots. Both tests work by detecting the patient’s antibodies reacting to the Borrelia burgdorferi bacteria. Many factors affect that response and the tests’ ability to measure it, and can produce both false positive and false negative results. A CD-57can be helpful in determining a positive result. With low CD 57 counts, Lyme disease and Chlamydophila pneumoniae infections might be considered, but remains inconclusive as a diagnosis.

Brain Therapy Transcranial Direct Current Stimulation is a complex sounding name for an amazingly simple but important application that safely delivers a very small electrical current to enhance , amplify , or inhibit select neural pathways and areas in the brain. Its use can be beneficial to rehabilitate or repair neurological injuries, enhance motor and speech functions, inhibit pain, relieve anxiety, depression, PTSD, addictions, cravings, and symptoms of ADD/ADHD, enhance memory, accelerate learning and other cognitive functions. Regular use has shown long term repair and improvement in the selected activities.

Body Balancing Multiple factors can cause disruption, blockage, or congestion to the body systems. Body Balancing includes cranial-sacral and joint release, myofascial and trigger-point release, acupressure and stimulation to body meridians. The combination of therapies assists in releasing blocked or congested pathways caused by trauma, structural mal-alignment, or scarred tissues and adhesions from lacerations, trauma, injury, or contusions. Body Balancing facilitates the mobilization of toxins, increases circulation and the movement of lymphatic fluid, relieves the compression of nerves, decreases inflammation, muscle and joint pain. This helps relieve scarring and adhesions within a shorter time frame than most other therapies.

Heart Rate Variability The HRV measures the electrical activity and rhythms of the heart and the brain. It shows how well the Autonomic Nervous System, Neuro-hormonal, and Chinese Meridians are able to regulate the body based on internal and external environments and stressors. The heart cardiogram indicates overall brain functions in its delta, theta, alpha, beta, and gamma states, and a certain level of brain toxicity, intra-cranial pressure, brain neurotransmitters, and the chemical messengers that regulate mood, and overall cognitive function. This also helps determine the level of stress from the liver and inflammation, and the balance of minerals and electrolytes, compensatory hormones, DHEA and cortisol in the body, thyroid function and the conversion of T4 to T3. The algorhythm coming from the ECG of the heart also indicates the balance between the ANS, sympathetic nervous system and the parasympathetic nervous system which influences the visceral organs, smooth muscle functions and glands. The sympathetic nervous system accelerates the fight or flight system associated with survival and is triggered by stress events and conscious or unconscious psycho-emotional stressors and external stressors. The para-sympathetic nervous system is associated with the resting state of the body and the digestive system. All of this data combined for analysis, research and education helps select an effective plan of care for a person.

Zyto Tech ZYTO technology is based on the body's ability to respond to subtle stimuli using the body's natural energy field. Zyto technology is based on a bio-communication link established between the individual and the computer via a hand cradle. This assessment tool measures, records, and analyzes the body’s electrical response to stressors and beneficial balancers. The practitioner will then analyze the data and personalize the individual’s plan of care. Data is collected on meridians, acupuncture points, vertebral or joint stress, dental issues, frequencies and modalities. The results of a scan are organized into categories of stressors, balancers, and beneficial therapies. This assessment tool provides assistance in making quality decisions about your wellness care. Zyto technology for collecting data does not diagnose or treat disease or medical conditions. ​ WHAT IS IT LIKE TO GET A SCAN? – You will be asked to place your hand on a hand cradle during a scan. Subtle energetic impulses are painlessly introduced to your body through multiple input channels. Your body will naturally respond to this communication while the software records each response. ​ ACCURACY - Clinical studies have compared ZYTO scan reports with results produced by generally accepted diagnostic methods. One pilot study conducted in Beijing, China compared the results of a four-minute ZYTO scan to a two-day diagnostic workup on several hundred patients. The results showed a high 87% correlation to other diagnostic testing methods. This study could help determine the clinical value of the scans as a guide for suggesting other medically accepted diagnostic workups. ​ REMOTE CAPABILITY - You and your family can connect with our office through the internet to get a bioenergetic scan regardless of where you are in the world. Scans are performed online with the hand cradle attached to your own computer from a remote location while speaking with our practitioner by telephone or Skype. The data received during the evaluation is the same whether you are in our office or remotely located in your home or another office—anywhere in the world. ​ Read more about Zyto and Self-Treatment Sessions here .

Manual Lymphatic Drainage Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a gentle hands-on technique to manually re-route and move lymph fluid through specific pathways. The lymphatic system is a primary system for cleansing and eliminating toxins from the body through the movement of fluid between the cells and tissues. When the lymphatic system becomes impaired, stagnant, congested, clogged or obstructed, toxins cannot be effectively and readily released from the body. Lymphatic therapy stimulates the movement of stagnant fluid within the lymph to cleanse the body tissue of accumulated toxins and pollutants. It helps to resolve multiple acute or chronic inflammatory processes such as weight gain, generalized edema and lymphedema, swollen and tender lymph nodes, localized or generalized areas of pain and discomfort, cellular degeneration, ear pressure, chronic fatigue and pain, autoimmune diseases, sinusitis, tonsillitis, laryngitis, arthritis, skin conditions, joint inflammation. Scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, bruising and fracture or surgical incision sites are improved. Fats are also evacuated through the lymphatic vessels. Toxins and metabolic waste products are removed, promoting tissue regeneration. Lymphatic therapy is an important part of detoxification and anti-aging regimens, and stimulates the immune system and the parasympathetic nervous system through increased lymph flow.

Bio-Energetic Frequencies & Laser Energetic Detoxification An evaluation identifies which Bio-Energetic Frequency therapy or Laser Energetic Detoxification (LED) would be most beneficial. Bio-Energetic Frequencies assists individuals suffering from: Environmental Allergens Food Allergens Vaccine injury Heavy metal toxicity Toxin Overload Bio-Energetic Detoxification rapidly mobilizes many toxins from stuck areas in the body and tissues. Man-made toxins such as pesticides, herbicides, solvents, heavy metals or other chemicals bind to organs, glands, hormone receptors or neurotransmitter receptors. The technology works with bio-photons, pulsed plasma light, light emitting diodes, and frequencies. This type of detoxification is beneficial for everyone and especially promising for highly sensitive and fragile persons who are in toxin overload and chronically ill, and those with genetic SNPS and have dysfunction to their detoxification pathways. Frequency therapy also helps alleviate signs of autoimmune disorders and reduce allergy reactions to environmental inhalants and food sensitivities.

Thermography Thermography has been used in European hospitals for more than 30 years. It is a radiation-free technique that reveals disturbances in the body on a cellular level. Temperature patterns reveal areas of dysregulation in the body – signs of potential disease or dysfunction. Research has shown that thermography can detect changes in tissue 8-10 years before a tumor develops to a size detectable by a mammogram or MRI. It can indicate dysfunctions or inflammation to the liver, endocrine, cardiac, lungs, pancreas, and brain. This can assist to identify sources of pain and reveal disease in its early stages. Our practitioner at the Center for Holistic Healing utilizes the alfasight 9000 regulation thermometry. The ALFA System is ISO Certified (Worldwide Quality Control) and is FDA cleared for adjunct diagnosis by the Center for Radiological Health. https://alfathermo.com/ Thermography is intended for the adjunct diagnosis of: 1) abnormalities of the female breast 2) peripheral vascular disease 3) musculoskeletal disorders 4) extracranial cerebral and facial vascular disease 5) abnormalities of the thyroid gland 6) various neoplastic and inflammatory conditions ​ The Alfa system can recognize other conditions such as: Diabetes and Pre-Diabetes (Pancreas) Breast (Breast Health, Cystic Changes) Liver Disease and Function Endocrine Function (pituitary/thyroid/ovary) Cardiac Function (Efficiency, Electrophysiology) Brain and Headache Dental Infections Structural Integrity (Neuromuscular) Pulmonary Function Viral and Bacterial Disease Monitoring

Recall Healing, EVOX EVOX is a form of cognitive biofeedback using sound frequencies to reframe perceptions of events and people in their lives. If the brain is storing a conscious or subconscious memory from a stressful event or trauma, that memory may be causing imbalance in the body. Sound frequencies are used to trigger certain responses in the brain to release mental and emotional blocks to healing. Thereby facilitating the recovery of physical health challenges, emotional or behavioral problems. Traumatic memories or toxic emotions bind chemicals and toxins in the body and inhibit, to a certain degree, the release of toxins during the body’s natural detoxification process. When mental and emotional blocks are released, the body’s cells, tissues, and organs function more optimally. EVOX can be more beneficial with Recall Healing for many individuals. This has also been beneficial for students and athletes who are looking to overcome specific challenges and improve their performance. ​ Recall Healing is a method drawn from Dr. Ryke Hamer in German New Medicine . Dr. Hamer identified specific parts of the body that are affected to the corresponding parts of the brain and found there was a direct association to physical illness and behavior. When recall healing is integrated with EVOX therapy, the results are deeper and quicker. Recall healing helps reframe a person’s perception, awareness, and belief systems that contribute to disease and specific conditions. No matter what the person thinks is going on, the physical condition of the body reflects the subconscious patterns in the brain. This process is especially beneficial for those who have been struggling with especially difficult, chronic or long term conditions.​​

Oxygen Therapies Stressors of any type decrease the ability to absorb oxygen into the blood, which can result in decreased oxygen to the tissues. Various forms of oxygen therapy help increase the amount of oxygen in the blood and plasma, in the tissues, improves cardiac output and immune function, promotes thinking capacity and neurological function, and raises energy levels and endurance within a short time. Disease and toxins compete for the oxygen that healthy cells need, thereby contributing to cell degeneration and accelerating the aging process. Our cells utilize oxygen for regeneration to prevent premature aging. Methods of oxygen therapy include Hyperbaric Oxygen (HBO) and Exercise with Oxygen Therapy . EWOT is gaining momentum as a way to improve athletic performance. It is also called Multistep Oxygen Therapy or Exercise with Oxygen Training. The idea is to inhale concentrated oxygen while exercising. EWOT was invented by Manfred Von Ardenne, physicist, researcher and inventor.
