PRACTICE POLICY

I……………………………………………………..seek the medical and health care services of DR. Hema Kalan.

I understand that this medical practice uses some diagnostic and treatment methods that some may consider unconventional. Most medical doctors only pay attention to the ‘disease’. In this practice we focus on health and how to optimise health. Only more health can heal your disease.

I understand that the principles of this practice are based on Integrative Medicine, a primary health care system, in which the body has an inherent ability to heal itself given the right tools. Treatment modalities provided are based on functional and science based medicine.

Treatments include: Autosangius injections/oral drops, IV medication, neuromuscular stimulation and laser therapy.

I understand that nutritional supplements such as vitamins, minerals, enzymes, herbs and homeopathic medicine will be recommended as these products are natural to the body. Some of these products are not available at pharmacies. These are provided for the convenience of patients. The products we recommend are of highest quality internationally.

I am in no way obligated to purchase these products from this office. I am free to purchase any recommended supplements or other products from any source that I choose.

Tests are sometimes ordered that may be considered by consensus of mainstream medicine to be either unnecessary or of no value. These may include tests for nutritional status, hormone levels, heavy metals, chronic viruses/bacteria or for food allergies. I understand that I will get a quote for these tests before I proceed with them.

Dr Kalan is always looking to support health and health must do the healing. There can be no guarantee how quickly changes may happen. It takes many years for symptoms and signs of the underlying dysfunction to manifest, so real healing takes time and depends also on the lifestyle changes you are prepared to make.
