At the Goldberg Tener Clinic we see patients with chronic skin disorders of many types and yet we never \u201ctreat\u201d skin conditions. Rather than treat the outside layer of the body (the skin) as is commonly done in medical and alternative approaches, we seek out and address causal factors responsible for a patient\u2019s impaired health. It is rare to find a patient with chronic skin problems who does not also have other complaints as well. Indigestion, fatigue, constipation, diarrhea, gas, bloating, depression, lack of appetite, insomnia, headaches, migraines, arthritis, muscular pains, back aches, irregular menses and allergies are all just a few of the many complaints we find that accompany a variety of skin disorders. It is in determining what the functional causes of these problems are and in addressing them that serves us best in laying the ground work for returning the skin as well as the entire body to good health.<\/p>\n
We applaud Dermatologists for identifying skin cancers and other pathologies and in executing surgical procedures such as the removal of warts and other growths.The Goldberg Tener Clinic does not offer any form of medical diagnosis or treatment for skin disorders or any other medical condition. We strongly encourage all patients with chronic skin problems to seek the advice of their family practitioner, internist or dermatologist prior to or in conjunction with consulting us. While many skin conditions respond favorably to bio-hygienic\/nutritional reform it is prudent to also have a medical evaluation to rule out any serious underlying medical pathologies. In most cases patients consulting us have been to a medical physician prior to seeing us for medical treatments. Throughout our patient handouts and literature we make clear that the Goldberg Tener Clinic does not \u201ctreat\u201d\u00a0 skin disorders of any type\u2026yet by improving the general health of the body and addressing underlying nutritional and lifestyle issues many patients find that their skin problems greatly improve.<\/p>\n
The important message to convey to those with dermatological afflictions is that most chronic skin problems are issues that go more than \u201cskin deep,\u201d and should be addressed in more than a superficial manner.\u00a0<\/strong>The skin is reflective of the general state of health and well being of the body. It is a mirror of our vitality and body wide efficiency. The skin is nourished by the same blood that is circulated to all the other tissues of the body and relies on the same organs and glands of the body (e.g. the GI tract, the immune system and the endocrine system) for its well-being.<\/p>\n Everyone is unique no matter what the diagnosis is. A thorough history, physical examination, and appropriate functional laboratory testing, including nutritional\/biochemical analysis will help identify the specific features about you that can be crucial to your recovery.<\/p>\n Also see the articles: Improvements in each case resulted from addressing causal factors and employing health promoting nutritional and hygienic steps <\/em>not<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0through the treatment of any medical condition.
