Shipping

How Does Dr. Myatt Ship My Order To Me?

We ship exclusively by United States Post Office Priority Mail.

USPS Priority Mail provides 2 to 3 day delivery of your order at the most economical rates.

We have tried other carriers (FedEx, UPS, DHL, etc.) and we have found that for our location none of them can match the cost effectiveness and quick delivery times of USPS Priority Mail.

Can I pay extra for “Overnight” shipping?

No – sorry, there is no “overnight” where we are. Dr. Myatt’s Wellness Club is located in an area of Arizona that has clean air and pure water and is also very rural. That means that our location adds at least a day to any expedited shipping method as the package must get from our location to a major center (Phoenix) where it can begin it’s journey to you. For all the extra cost of “overnight” shipping, we have found that 2 to 3 day USPS Priority Mail is just as fast in most cases.

UPS and FedEx pickups and deliveries are irregular and unreliable where we are. On the other hand, our staff takes your orders to our local post office for delivery.each postal business day at around 4 PM and they are on theri way to you that day.

I placed my order today – when can I expect to receive it?

If you placed your order on Sunday through Friday, we’ll do everything possible to have it in the hands of the Postman and on it’s way to you the next morning. Because there is no mail pickup on Sunday orders placed on Saturday will ship Monday morning.

Once your order is in the Postmans hands you can expect to receive it in 2 to 3 days.

Please remember that there is no mail pickup or delivery on Sunday or national holidays. (There is no UPS or FedEx either!)

My order is taking longer to come than it should – Why?

Delays sometimes happen. The Postman’s delivery van might have a flat tire. The USPS truck or airplane might be delayed by weather. Maybe someone in the post office sorting room goofed and your package went to Portland Oregon instead of Portland Maine and then it was redirected by way of Portland Texas. Once the package leaves our location it is up to the post office – we have no further control over it.

On very rare occasions we get caught short on products here: Sometimes there is an unexpected demand for a product, or maybe our supplier can’t get fresh products to us quickly enough. Usually delays like that are only a day or two – and if they are longer we’ll let you know and we may ship as much of your order as possible with the back ordered items to follow ASAP.

A 5-Point Program to Stop Smoking for Good

Chronic (daily) tobacco use (smoking or chewing) is one of the most health-harming habits anyone can engage in. (Daily bungee-jumping might be more harmful). And it’s not “just” lung disease: the effects of smoking cause premature aging and damage from head to toe.

In case you don’t know about the other “non-lung” problems caused by smoking, read Smoking: Just the Facts^ (The link opens in a new window). Then come back here to learn what you can do to either:

A.) help protect yourself from many of the harmful effects of tobacco use,

OR (better yet)

B.) stop smoking altogether.

Tobacco is a highly addictive substance. Some say that it is one of the most difficult drugs to quit. Here is my 5-point plan for making your “stop smoking” decision easier and surer.

1.) Decide on a “quit date.” Whether you plan on decreasing your tobacco use gradually or quitting “cold turkey,” have a “quit date” selected and stick to it.

In practice, I have observed higher success rates among those who quit “cold turkey,” but pick a plan and stick with it no matter which method you choose.

2.) Keep a “smoking triggers” diary for one week. Write down when you tend to smoke. Is it on work-break? After meals? When driving?

Whatever your “triggers” are, you’ll need to plan alternate activities. For example, if you usually smoke at work breaks, plan to take a brief walk around the building or outdoor area instead.

Nature abhors a vacuum. If you don’t have other activities planned, you’ll revert to your habitual “smoking times,” even when you don’t physically crave a cigarette.

3.) Take a high-quality multiple Vitamin/Mineral Supplement. Smoking depletes B complex vitamins, antioxidants and other nutrients. These nutrients not only protect from some of the harmful effects of smoking, but they are involved in the production of neurotransmitters.

Imbalances in neurotransmitters – aka “brain hormones” – are a common cause of cravings. Taking a high quality multiple vitamin/mineral formula helps balance these brain chemicals and reduce cravings during withdrawal from tobacco.

NOTE: You need an Optimal Dose vitamin formula (6-9 capsules per day), not a “minimal Dose one-per-day formula. Here is a chart to show you optimal doses of individual nutrients: Optimal Dose Vitamins and Minerals

4.) Neurotransmitter Testing. Smoking alters the levels of Neurotransmitters (NT’s). It may also be that alterations in NT levels contribute to initial tobacco addiction.

For example: some people smoke because it increases energy levels. Low energy, in turn, can be cause by low epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine (nor-adrenaline) NT levels. If these NT levels are low, normalizing them by natural methods can overcome the “energy rush’ offered by smoking.

Serotonin, epinephrine, norepinephrine, dopamine, GABA, PEA and histamine can all be involved in the addiction/craving cycle. A simple urine test which measures levels of these important “head hormones” can allow us to balance brain chemistry naturally and break the addictive cycle without low energy, nervousness and other symptoms many “quitters” experience.

Natural alternatives to “head meds” exist, and they can be used to balance brain chemistry once the results of your test are in.

5.) “How Bad Do You Want It”? as the Don Henley tune asks

Make sure your list of “why I want to quit” is a strong one. You’ll use this to remind yourself to stay firm when waves of cravings roll through.

It’s fine to want to quit for someone else, but be sure to have some “me” reasons on the list as well. Here are a few to get you started. Feel free to use any of those that apply to you!

Save money, improve breathing, decrease risk of heart disease, slow the aging process, live long enough to enjoy retirement (or the grandkids), set a good example for the grandkids (or your own children), not smell like stale smoke all the time, be free of addiction, have more energy, move with greater ease.

By following this 5-point program, anyone who really wants to quit can do so. I’ve got hundreds of successful “quitters” in my practice, a testimony to the success of this program and the power of genuine motivation.

 

IREST Massager Mini

iRest MassagerThe Tiny Technologic Marvel With Huge Health Benefits

The IREST Massager Mini is a dual channel battery operated muscle stimulation system (TENS unit) that helps to relieve minor muscle aches and pains.

What is TENS?
Transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) is a therapy that uses low-voltage electrical current for pain relief. It can also be used for muscle stimulation.

Patients tell us they use TENS-type devices to relieve pain from many illnesses and conditions.

Some common uses are to treat muscle, joint, or bone problems that occur with illnesses such as osteoarthritis or fibromyalgia, or for conditions such as low back pain, neck pain, tendinitis, or bursitis. Many people have also used their TENS to treat sudden, acute pain from muscle strain or overuse, and even labor pain, and chronic pain such as cancer pain. Diabetics have reported good results with the use of these devices to improve diabetic neuropathy. Bodybuilders use these devices both for soothing relief after a workout, and as a muscle stimulator for very tergeted muscle exercise (Like working a biceps for example).

The IREST Massager Mini is the best unit of it’s kind that we have been able to find.

Dr. Myatt and Nurse Mark have personally purchased and tested a number of different units. The units we tested ranged from bargain-basement junk that delivered outright shocks (Ouch!) to medical-grade, prescription-required units (with a price tag of $1400.00!) that were complicated and annoying to use and didn’t actually work veryt well. We believe the high-quality construction and superior operation of the IREST makes it the “best in class.”

So what does this little wonder do? By providing mild electrical current to muscles, the unit increases circulation, provides pain relief and muscle stimulation. Medically, these devices are prescribed for muscle and nerve pain.

The IREST has six different settings, all feeling like different types of massage or acupuncture. You can adjust the strength of impulse from almost impercetable to very strong.

How well does it work? Dr. Myatt got a patient off narcotic pain drugs in a single session by using this unit for back pain. This was a pateint who failed to respond to a $1400 prescription TENS unit.

Says Dr. Myatt: “I believe one of these devices needs to be in everyone’s medical kit. It is right up there with aspirin and bandaids in importance. I have one and use it regularly!

  • Pocket-size / Compact Design – Smaller than an i-pod!
  • Rechargeable battery
  • 2 Output channels- treat 2 different areas at the same time, or two people can share a treatment.
  • 6 massage modes
  • 20 intensity level settings
  • Adjustable treatment time settings
  • 2 Year manufacturers warranty Now with extended 5 Year manufacturers warranty

Find more information on the Massager Mini at the IREST website

Suggested retail price is $349. Because Dr. Myatt believes so strongly in the benefits of these devices she has negotiated a lower price and is offering these units at a substantial savings. You save $129.00!

IREST Massager Mini – Product # N372 – $219.97

Wellness Club Members pay only $197.98 and free shipping! Find out how you can start saving today! Extra Electrode Pads are available too – see below!

IREST Massager Mini KitWhat comes in the package?

  • 1 set of regular single sided adhesive electrode pads 3×2 inches
  • 1 set of small single sided adhesive electro pads, 1 ¾ x 1 inches
  • Electrode Wires
  • USB Cable
  • AC Adapter
  • Instruction Manual

Please note: Because this is a medical device, it is not returnable or refundable.

This very high-quality unit is covered with a 2 year extended 5 year warranty by the maker – purchase with confidence.

Extra Electrode Pads Are Available:

Each IREST Massager Mini Unit comes complete with 1 set of regular single sided adhesive electrode pads 3×2 inches and 1 set of small single sided adhesive electro pads, 1 ¾ x 1 inches.

With reasonable care your pads can be re-used dozens of times. If they begin to lose their adhesive quality they can be gently washed by hand with a drop of dish soap and warm water and left to air dry. They can also be sanitized using a few drops of plain, non-perfumed, alcohol-based hand sanitizer.

If your pads become damaged or you wish to have extra pads on-hand we have them available. We also have larger pads available.

Large Massager PadsLarge pads

These adhesive electrode pads are approximately 2 inches by 4 inches and are useful for treating larger muscle groups or areas.

N383 – Large Electrode Pads – $14.97

Medium Massager PadsMedium pads

These medium sized duck-foot shaped adhesive electrode pads are approximately 2 inches by 3 inches and are useful for treating most areas.

N384 -Medium Electrode Pads – $9.97

About Recharging Adaptors:

The iRest Mini Massager uses an internal rechargeable battery that is recharged between uses with a power adaptor that plugs into a wall outlet.

We have had a number of inquiries from people who have misplaced their recharging adaptor and are seeking a replacement. We do NOT have these adapters available for sale seperately.

But, all is not lost! These recharging adapters are very common, generic “wall-wart’ power adapters commonly used to recharge cellphones, tablets, music players, and similar electronic devices. They can be purchased readily and inexpensively at stores like Best Buy, Radio Shack, WalMart, Target, K-mart, grocery stores, and even thrift stores often have them available for a few dollars.

You just need a generic charger with a ‘Mini USB’ plug to fit your iRest.

The Shaman’s Lesson of Worth

“Free” and “Health Care” Aren’t Necessarily Good Together…

I was a starry-eyed first year resident when I met the old man, a Shaman (medicine man and spiritual advisor) to his Native tribe in the four corners area of New Mexico. It had long been my goal to study with such a healer and learn the “secrets” of the Shaman’s ways. Now here I was, face-to-face with just such a One.

A young man came to see the Shaman about a health problem. From his appearance and description, I guessed him to be no more than twenty. He complained bitterly about the “strange sights” that he saw on occasion. By western standards, schizophrenia was a likely diagnosis. The young man clearly needed help. The Shaman told him that he would be available, but that a week-long ceremony would be necessary. Then the Shaman told him the cost. The young man shook his head dejectedly and left. I questioned the Shaman.

What was the fee for the ceremony, and why had the young man gone away without treatment? I wanted to know. The Shaman explained that the fees were approximately $6000 in western money, but that people paid in other means of exchange like goats, sheep, baskets, and other items. The man left because he did not have the required fee. Sensing that I was upset by this, the Shaman explained that the young man would return for treatment after he raised the necessary funds.

“But why,” I wanted to know, “don’t you help him now and let him pay later? Aren’t there some people that are too poor to afford your services? Do you ever give your services away for free?” “Never,” he assured me. Then the old man sat me down and carefully explained his stance.

“Health is a valuable commodity,” he told me, looking to see if I agreed. I nodded. “Like other valuable commodities, the people who want it dearly enough will work to get it. As they work, they increase their appreciation of it’s value. When I give a man a healing service without a fee, he associates ‘free’ with ‘not valuable.’ The potency of any treatment is not only in the treatment, but in the person’s belief in it’s value. When someone pays dearly for a ceremony, they show that they appreciate the value of my treatment. More importantly, they show themselves how much they value their health. A man who values his health will work hard to win it back, and he is more likely to recover.” He paused to let me take his words in.

“But what if someone really can’t afford your treatment?” I insisted. “People can always afford my ceremonies if they value their health. A poor man will recruit his family to help him raise the necessary funds. If he has no family, he will petition the community to help him raise the necessary funds. By doing this, he will not only value the ceremony he receives, but he will feel the support and good wishes of the community for his recovery. Anyone who truly wants to get well can always find a way to afford the healing ceremony.” With that, the old man stood to indicate that we were through for the day.

In the years since, the Shaman’s words have returned to haunt me. How many times have I heard people complain about the cost of supplements, or of my services, while they drive in a luxury car or S.U.V., eat out twice a week, own a vacation home in the mountains or at the beach, and subscribe to cable TV.? I believe that the old Shaman was right. The people who value their health will work to get it. They will pay to get it. And they will value it more dearly when it returns.

Turmeric:


Powerful Cancer-fighting Herb
that drug companies are rushing to imitate.

An ever-growing body of scientific evidence demonstrates that turmeric — the bright yellow spice herb used in East Indian cooking — has potent anti-cancer properties. According to Bharat Aggarwal, chief of cytokine research at the University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, the research to date shows that turmeric’s anti-cancer “promise is enormous.” This evidence and opinion was reported at the recent Society for Integrative Oncology conference and is also posted on the American Cancer Society’s website (www.cancer.org).

Turmeric, and it’s primary active ingredient curcumin, is the main ingredient in curry and a member of the ginger family. In addition to it’s anti-cancer properties, turmeric is a potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and liver-protecting herb. Expect to see and read a lot more about this herb in the future, although Wellness Club members have known about the benefits of turmeric for over a decade!

You can learn more about turmeric and find one of the most potent turmeric supplements available on The Wellness Club website by visiting Turmeric: Antioxidant, Anti-inflammatory and Anti-Cancer Herb.

Urinary Tract Health


Your Guide to a Healthy “Water Works”

The urinary tract — including the kidneys, bladder and urethra — don’t get as much “press” as other bodily systems. Since the urinary tract is responsible for much of the body’s waste removal, in addition to the role it plays in blood pressure regulation, keeping a healthy urinary tract is important for good health.

Many drugs cause damage to the kidneys, even those used to treat kidney infections! For this reason, I always prefer to use natural remedies as a first line of defense in keeping the urinary tract healthy.

Urinary Tract Infection

 

Urinary Tract Infections (UTI’s)


Natural Ways to Overcome UTI’s

Urinary tract infections (UTI) are a common and uncomfortable condition that affects some 50 percent of all women and girls (and a lesser number of men and boys) over the course of a lifetime. UTIs account for 10 million doctor visits annually. Some people appear to be more susceptible than others. For example, women who experience one UTI are more likely to have recurrences from time to time.

Urinary tract infections can range from annoying to life-threatening. When confined to the bladder, most UTI’s are merely uncomfortable but can sometimes be downright painful. If bacteria ascends to the kidneys, serious kidney damage and even kidney failure can result.

Urinary Tract Terminology

When an infection involves only the urethra, the condition is called “urethritis.” When the bladder is involved, the condition is called “cystitis.” When the infection back all the way up to the kidneys, it is called “nephritis” or “pyelonephritis.”

Causes of UTI’s

Ninety percent (90%) of all UTI’s are caused by E. coli bacteria. E. coli is the most common “friendly” bacteria in the colon (large intestine). As long as it stays in the gut, things are fine. When e.coli bacteria make their way into the urinary tract, they can cause an infection. The remaining 10% of UTI’s are caused by other types of microbes including Chlamydia, Mycoplasma, Neisseria gonorrhoreae, and others. These type of “bugs” are typically spread by sexual contact and can cause the more serious types of infection.

Most bacteria that find a way into the urinary tract (as can occur during sexual intercourse) are simply washed out with the urine. E. coli can “grab” onto cells that line the urinary track by binding to a sugar-like molecule found on normal urinary tract cells.

Conventional Medical Treatment of UTI’s

Conventional medicine uses antibiotics to treat UTI’s, period. Antibiotics can be highly effective at knocking down a UTI, but there are numerous drawbacks.

Antibiotics not only kill bacteria in the urinary tract, but they can kill a lot of “friendly bacteria” in the gut as well. Destruction of protective GI bacteria can lead to yeast infections or worse, can allow “unfriendly” strains of bacteria to colonize the gut.

Disturbing the normal gut flora often leads to a secondary vaginal yeast infection. Many women who take antibiotics for UTI simply come to expect that they will have a vaginal yeast infection (requiring a second medication of an anti-fungal) for treatment.

Bacteria can become resistant to antibiotics. Not only can the antibiotic stop working (or become less effective) for treating the UTI, but antibiotics can become less effective for treating infections elsewhere in the body. Remember, overuse of antibiotics is the most common cause of “Super Bugs”— bacteria that do not respond to any known antibiotic.

Antibiotics can sometimes cause life-threatening allergic reactions. Other reactions to antibiotics include diarrhea or constipation, nausea, and sometimes vomiting. An estimated 25% of people who receive an antibiotic will develop a secondary gut infection of an organism called C. difficile.

Alternative Treatments for UTI

Most cases of UTI can be successfully treated without antibiotics. Because of the many drawbacks of antibiotics, I always prefer to try natural options first. Results are usually seen within 24 hours, so it is easy to tell if the natural treatment is working.

D-mannose is a sugar molecule and close cousin of glucose. Many alternative physicians have found that it can cure 90 percent of all UTIs within 1 to 2 days. Because D-mannose works by preventing bacteria from sticking to the lining of the urinary tract and not by direct antibiotic action, it does not have any of the potential for negative side-effects like antibiotics so.

D-mannose tastes good (because it is related to the sugar molecule, although it does not raise blood sugar levels). It is so safe that it can be used by pregnant women and young children. It is also one of the few “medicines” that children actually enjoy taking!

Although D-mannose is virtually unknown to conventional medical doctors, many research reports have proven its mode of action and effectiveness against E. coli, the microorganism that causes 90% of all UTIs. Moreover, nearly 15 years of clinical experience has also shown that it is just almost as effective at curing UTIs as antibiotic drugs but without any of the negative side-effects.

PC-Spes, Dr. Dana Myatt, and Dr. Myatt’s Prostate Support.


A Letter From Nurse Mark To Those Enquiring About Prostate Support and Matural Prostate Cancer Treatments.

There has been an increase in interest and phone calls to the Wellness Club recently from persons concerned about prostate cancer and interested in Prostate Support and PC Spes.

In response to this I would like to offer the following information, on behalf of Dr. Myatt and Dr. Myatt’s Wellness Club.

First and foremost, for those who wish to call for information, or to have questions answered, or to argue that PC-Spes was “done wrong” by the FDA, the State of California, or anyone else, please note that our toll-free number should be reserved for orders only – if you have more specific questions, please either use our Contact Us page to send us a message or call to arrange a personal consultation with Dr. Myatt.

Please do not ask for names of satisfied patients, or for case histories, or for statistics of success. To give out such personal information is highly unethical and we will not do it. If you want “testimonials” there are plenty of other “practicioners” who will be more than happy to dazzle you with endless unsubstantiated, unprovable “success stories”.

Dr. Myatt has treated a large number of cases of prostate cancer over the past two decades – ranging from men with mild elevations of PSA and minor enlargements of the prostate to men who have been told they have a few weeks to live by their conventional doctors. Most of her patients are happily in remission, getting on with their lives, and to our knowledge not involved with any of the various prostate support groups

There are a few, such as the fellow who was given two to four weeks, who have passed away. That man enjoyed well over a year of good life while following Dr. Myatt’s advice, and actually played 36 holes of golf shortly before he died from complications of the conventional treatments prescribed by his “oncologist” who panicked in response to an aberrant lab result. There are a few case studies available on our website that illustrate a number of Dr. Myatt’s techniques. Please feel free to study them.

Please do not write or call until you have been to our website, and read fully and completely the pages discussing Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Prostate Support (which includes a discussion of PC-Spes), and alternative medicine consultations with Dr. Myatt. These pages, and the links within them, will answer most all of your questions.

Dr. Myatt is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor – an NMD – licensed in the State of Arizona with full prescribing privileges and a DEA number. Please note: licensing requirements for NMD’s are as stringent and more than the licensing requirements for “regular” MD’s. Dr. Myatt’s biography can be found on her alternative medical consultations page and the Consultations Brochure page that links to it.

Now, about PC-Spes and Prostate Support: When PC-Spes first appeared Dr. Myatt was impressed by it’s apparent good effect on those who were taking it. Then, following reports of side effects resulting from the use of this formula, Dr. Myatt became suspicious that there might be “more than meets the eye.” She had independent testing done, and found that there was indeed more in the formula than was listed on the label.

She then looked at the individual herbs listed in the formula, determined the best ratios of these herbs for maximal effect, and formulated Prostate Support to provide those beneficial herbs in the very most effective ratios, without the undisclosed drugs that were being discovered to be in some lots of PC-Spes.

There has been some suggestion that the only “good” formulation of these herbs must be obtained from the University of Shanghai in China. Dr. Myatt’s Prostate Support does not come from the University of Shanghai. Dr. Myatt’s Prostate Support formula is compounded here in the USA using the highest quality, purest materials available, standardized and combined to Dr. Myatt’s very exacting standards. There is good reason that she has become known amongst supplement manufacturers as “The Dragon Lady!” She is well known for her lack of tolerance for anything but the highest of quality standards!

Please take note that it is Dr. Myatt’s opinion that for most cases of prostate cancer, hormone suppression should be a cornerstone of treatment. There are also a number of other therapies that must be used in conjunction in order to obtain best results. It is her belief that PC-Spes was highly effective because it contained undisclosed drugs that in effect resulted in hormone suppression therapy in those who used it. It is further her belief that someone needing or wishing to use hormone suppression therapy should be doing so knowingly, with knowledge of the doses of drugs involved, and not by using “shot in the dark” amounts such as were found in some lots and then not others of PC-Spes.

Finally, it is Dr. Myatt’s very strong opinion that Prostate Support, PC-Spes, and any of the other “Prostate Formulas” available must NOT be used as a sole treatment for prostate cancer. The herbs found in PC-Spes and in Prostate Support are valuable adjuncts and support for the prostate and the immune system, but by themselves they will not “cure” prostate cancer.

Here is the bottom line from my viewpoint: Gentlemen, Dr. Myatt has been successfully treating prostate cancer for a decade and a half, her patients include her own 83 year old father who remains alive and well after being diagnosed over 20 years ago. She has been treating my own father for over 6 years. She knows what she is doing, and does it well

Any of you who believe that PC-Spes worked solely because of the combination of herbs that it contained and not because it contained undisclosed drugs, please try our Prostate Support – it is the same optimal combination of herbs, with no adulterants or drugs. It is compounded (mixed) to the very highest of western standards for purity and precision. There will be no surprises or changes from lot to lot with this formula.

Please be aware though that Prostate Support is not a “Holy Grail” of prostate cancer treatment – it is but one facet of a complex treatment plan.

Expecting to treat prostate cancer with a single formula such as this would be like trying to give your car a “tune-up” or even an engine overhaul by using a bottle of “gasoline treatment.” That stuff may help keep your engine clean – great for preventive maintenance – but it won’t fix what’s broken!

Prostate cancer is NOT a “do-it-yourself” disease to be experimented with as you might with toenail fungus.

Prostate cancer can be a deadly disease if managed poorly, or a chronic medical condition if managed skillfully – it’s your choice.

Cheers,
Nurse Mark
