Ozonotherapy (Summer 2011)
Ozonotherapy is the use of medical grade ozone, a highly reactive form of pure oxygen, found useful in:
- Activating the immune system in infectious diseases.
- Improving the cellular utilization of oxygen that reduces ischemia in cardiovascular diseases, and in many of the infirmities of aging.
- Releasing growth factors that stimulate damaged joints and degenerative discs to regenerate.
- Dramatically reducing or eliminating many cases of chronic pain through its action on pain receptors.
- Management of interstitial cystitis, chronic hepatitis, herpes infections, dental infections, diabetes, and macular degeneration.
When an energetic force, such as electricity or ultra-violet light, is imposed upon a molecule of O2, the two oxygen atoms are temporarily split apart into single oxygen atoms. In a matter of nanoseconds these highly unstable oxygen atoms will pair up again and reform back into O2 molecules. But a small percentage of them will unite into ozone, a molecule consisting of three oxygen atoms all sharing the same electrons. Because there just are not enough electrons for each of three oxygen atoms, ozone is a relatively unstable molecule. This instability is why it is such a powerful biological stimulant.
Revelar - measuring reactive oxygen species (Spring 2011)
Free Radicals are unstable molecules (meaning they have an unpaired electron) produced within our bodies. Free radicals damage healthy cells by "stealing" an electron from the healthy cell in order to become stable. Free radicals are naturally occurring molecules present in every person. However, internal and external factors such as diet, lifestyle, activity levels, chemicals and pollutants can increase the levels of free radicals, and thereby increase the risk of damage from free radicals. Free radical damage is also known as oxidative stress. Until Revelar, there was no effective and precise way to measure whether antioxidants and other steps are working. Revelar provides unprecedented accuracy in measuring aldehydes, an effective indicator of free radical damage. Aldehyde presence and quantity is directly correlated to the level of lipid peroxidation or cell damage brought about by free radicals. Measuring aldehydes created a strong indicator of the degree to which oxidative stress (free radical damage) is taking place. Revelar is able to measure the aldehydes in your breath that can lead to damage.
Pulsed ElectroMagnetic Fields (PEMF) - (Spring 2011)
Our Earth has a magnetic field that fluctuates (pulses) and this pulsed electromagnetic field (PEMF) is a key component for life. In fact many researchers refer to PEMFs as "The Fifth Element." Along with food, water, oxygen and sleep, the body needs PEMFs to survive. Unfortunately the Earth's magnetic field is getting weaker and some research suggests that it is almost 100 times less powerful as it was during the time of dinosaurs.Each of the approximately 75 trillion cells in your body vibrates or oscillates. Using the appropriate frequencies, electromagnetic impulses can induce resonant vibrations to stimulate a variety of cellular functions. However, only specific range or spectrum of electromagnetic frequencies are readily accepted by the body (called the biological window) trigger physiological responses. One key function of the cell membrane is to regulate the environment for biological processes inside the cell. This is achieved through selectively allowing water, nutrients, and elements to enter or leave the interior of the cell. One way the cell membrane achieves selective "permeability" is through the establishment of a membrane potential. PEMF normalizes cell membrane potentials. PEMF therapy is similar to charging a battery, which is each and every one of your cells. PEMF stimulates atoms, increases electronic spin, aligns molecules, and generates very small microcurrents that tend to run along nerve pathways. This leads to an increase in intercellular communication, metabolic processes in part due to increased circulation, oxygenation, alkalization, ATP production(the form of energy used by cells to perform work such as running enzymes), and optimized cell membrane potential. As a result, cells regenerate, oxidative stress and inflammation is reduced, immune responses are more robust, the feel-good endorphins are boosted, depleted adrenal and other endocrine gland functions are restored. Healing, rejuvenation, and regeneration. This is the foundation of PEMF therapy.

Lang Allergy/AutoImmune Solution Therapy (Nov 2010) -web page pending
I attended Dr. Lang's conference in San Diego in November 2010. Combining the wisdom of the Old Testament with allergy desensitization techniques he learned over his 34 year career, Dr. Harvey Lang's approach is so simple that it defies explanation. Nevertheless, there is no risk, the results he reports are immediate and long lasting. This could be an inexpensive technique to consider in dealing with allergens and autoimmune conditions.
Voltage Biomodulation (Nov 2010) - web page pending
Electromedicine is common practice in traditional medicine- lasers, TENS, micro-current, electrocautery, ultrasound, electroshock, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, X-rays, etc. Despite this and the growing scientific evidence that the human body is powerfully influenced by energetic forces, the ability and the effectiveness of less conventional healing strategies using homeopathy, magnets, low level lasers, acupuncture, etc. is often questioned. Our patients report that harnessing energy to stimulate healing is one of the most powerful modalities we offer.
Voltage Biomodulation as taught to me by Jerry Tennant, MD is our newest offering that combines tangible electronic medicine (voltage) with the Tesla Resonating Circuits. This may be the missing link to why some patients are slow to heal. Even with the limited experience I have with this modality, I am already impressed with its elegant power and effectiveness.
SubLingual ImmunoTherapy (Oct 2010) - web page pending
In addition to avoidance, ongoing medication, and injectable allergen desensitizing immunotherapy (allergy shots), we now offer oral Allergy Drops (SLIT). This form of therapy has been popular throughout the world for over 60 years. There is ample evidence about the effectiveness of using sub-lingual (under the tongue) drops of allergens to induce tolerance. The treatment is simple - each day in your own home, you place a few drops of solution (the same serum used in allergy shots) under your tongue. Unlike the twice a week or monthly injections for which you must come in to a medical facility, you only need to visit our office every 12 weeks for a refill and a brief follow-up. Studies suggest that by your first follow-up, you'll likely notice a marked reduction in inhalant allergy symptoms and need for allergy medications. If you are like most patients, over time you will experience complete remission of your environmental allergies.
Chronic Lyme (Borellia) and Lyme-related Diseases (Aug 2010) - web page pending
According to Charles Crist, MD, "Borreliosis is possibly the most controversial disease on planet earth." He should know, he reports that he has treated over 7000 patients at the time I attended his lecture at the American Academy of Environmental Medicine in San Diego in the Fall 2010. My initial impression regarding the condition(s) related to "Lyme Disease" is that it represents Chronic Pervasive Microbe-Related Neurotoxic Immunosuppression (CPMNI). Since there is currently no definitive test for chronic Lyme and Lyme-related disease, laboratory results should not be used to exclude an individual from treatment. This condition is largely diagnosed clinically and tests should be used to support rather than supersede management. It is an immensely controversial and challenging condition for which we are only beginning to successfully address.
Weight Reduction Program using hHCG (Oct 2009)
The hCG Weight Reduction Program is a medical approach to reducing excessive storage fat and weight gain built around a low calorie diet coupled with small dose of a hormone called hCG, that helps stimulate fat metabolism. The relationship between hCG and weight loss was discovered by Dr. A.T.W. Simeons in the 1960's. Tens of thousands of people reportedly used his treatment and achieved rapid weight loss. Unlike nearly every other weight reduction program available today, Simeons' patients did not gain the weight back. His book, Pounds and Inches, should be reviewed carefully so that by the time you decide to start an hCG program, you are mentally and dietarily prepared.
This program is not a diet, an exercise program, a psychological behavior modification program, or some other system that is supposed to help you lose weight. This program actually addresses and attempts to correct a physiological cause of obesity, weight-gain, and the inability to lose fat As such, the program offers a long term solution to obesity and weight gain. Furthermore, hCG seems to target fat loss in problem areas such as the stomach, buttocks, love handles, thighs, etc.
We make the program easier by making it modular and personalized to your needs: Since a key component of the hCG program is a very low calorie diet for a short period, we offer:
- An alternative "Ideal Protein" to help you stay on track with the recommended food plan, which is limited to foods like: lean protein (fish, turkey, chicken, beef), tomatoes, celery, asparagus, onions, apples, strawberries, grapefruit, spinach, oranges and tea.
- Optional supplements, which reportedly promote muscle formation and fat reduction with exercise.
- MIC B12 injections given weekly which reportedly promote fat metabolism
- Sublingual hHCG rather than injections or oral hCG, which is most commonly derived from the urine of women in India or China. Most clinics have reported equal responses to the various formulations.
- Our cost is minimized since we are using existing staff and only ask that we are reimbursed for their time and the products you choose.
If you are committed to an uninterrupted 23-43 day program, call Vanessa at 714-565-1036 or e-mail her at Vanessa@drkaslow.com to arrange an appointment.
Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning / CVAC (Aug 2009)
Our office was the only site in Orange County until Spring 2010 to offer Cyclic Variations in Altitude Conditioning™ (CVAC™), which simulates changes in altitude through precise patterns. Within a 20-minute CVAC session the altitude changes an estimated 300-500 times with the pattern and targeted pressure and temperature changes arranged to enhance the fitness if your body type.
CVAC stimulates mitochondria (the energy producing organelles inside your cells), which leads to markedly improved strength, stamina, glucose metabolism, tolerance to inadequate oxygenation, etc. The list of reported benefits includes:
- Marked improvement in stamina and endurance (ex- cycling)
- Increased power in sports (cycling, mixed martial arts, triathlons, etc.)
- Marked improvement in recovery from engaging in sports or other high-exertion over-exertion in competitive sports.
- Marked improvement in glucose metabolism (ex – insulin resistance, diabetes. It should be noted that there is substantial evidence that insulin resistance and oxidative stress implicated in aging, aging-related disorders, and hypertension.)
- Improved levels of testosterone (ex – muscle mass, performance, confidence, blood glucose management, bone mineral deposition, fat reduction, etc.)
- Reduction in pain and restoration of sensation in diabetic neuropathy.
My son Jacob and I used the CVAC to help us summit Mount Kilimanjaro New Years 2009-2010 without altitude sickness.

Breast Thermography /Infrared Mammograms (January 2006)
A thermogram is an infrared thermal image. An infrared camera is used to photograph the heat coming from your skin. We use a state-of-the-art ultra-sensitive infrared camera and sophisticated computer software to detect, analyze, and produce high-resolution diagnostic images of these temperature and vascular changes. The equipment is so sophisticated that according to an article in Alternative Medicine Magazine, September 1999, thermography enables detection at the very beginning of angiogenesis so that it may be two to three years ahead of other diagnostic devices. We now know that it can see abnormal function well before that. It may differentiate between cysts and tumors. For this reason thermography could be used in younger women, those for whom mammography would not be effective. The heat pattern is analyzed by one of the world's experts in thermography and the report is sent back to us within a few days. The procedure is non-invasive: nothing enters or touches the body. Our thermograms are entirely private. There is no compression as there is with mammography. There is absolutely no risk of injury, radiation, etc. Unlike many other centers doing thermography, we do a functional challenge that helps us identify abnormalities that could otherwise be missed.
Frequency Specific Microcurrent (Fall 2005)
Microcurrent is a faint electric current that is so small it is measured in millionths of an amp. By comparison a TENS unit and most other electro-therapies produce milliamps, 1000 times greater. Your own cells generate a current in the microamp range and this is why you can not feel it - the current is so low it does not stimulate sensory nerves. What it does is dramatically stimulate ATP (energy) production in the cells of your body. In doing so, this dramatically increases the tissue's healing rate. The almost immediate response to the correct microcurrent suggests that other mechanisms are involved as well. The exact effects or changes that result from microcurrent frequencies have not been proven because no biopsies have been done after microcurrent has been applied. Nevertheless the changes in the tissue are unmistakable; scars will often suddenly soften; trigger points often become less painful; swelling often drains within minutes when the "correct" frequency is applied. In many situations the changes seem to be long lasting and perhaps permanent.
I believe FSM works on the principle of biologic resonance. A singer can shatter a glass when the note resonates with the crystal structure of the glass. Microcurrent frequencies resonate with specific biologic tissue when the specific frequency is correct. Once the tissue is changed and stable, it seems to be able to stay in the new configuration with proper nutritional support. Animal research confirms that the frequency to reduce inflammation reduces inflammation by 62% in a mouse model. Prescription drugs reduce inflammation by 45% in the same mouse research. FSM reduced inflammation in other studies almost immediately as well.
Every patient responds individually but the changes to the muscles seem to be long lasting. About 60% to 80% of the changes created in one treatment last until the next treatment, about four to seven days. Your muscles are used to being the way they are and may return to the old configuration if not treated again. Although patients have had permanent changes in one treatment, the average number of treatments depends on the complexity of the problem.
Arterial Health Assessment through DPA (Fall 2005)
The DPA (Digital Photo-plethysmograph Analyzer) is a FDA approved device used to measure and analyze pulse waveforms and heart rate. The measurement probe is placed on your finger (or toe) and a LED light is transmitted through your finger to a photodiode sensor on the other side. The sensor detects how much light was absorbed by the hemoglobin in your blood vessels. The DPA converts the changes in light into a waveform and graph, which are used to assess your heart rate, blood vessels, and the power and speed of your heart muscle. For example, the proportion of your blood pumped out during each beat compared to the amount that remains in your heart at the beginning of the next beat, is called the ejection fraction. The ejection fraction estimates the hearts pumping ability based on the relationship between end diastolic volume, stroke volume, end systolic volume, and ejection fraction.
From the information provided, the following can be assessed: Early detection of hypertension, early detection of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), blood circulation status, the relative age of your blood vessels, and disturbances in the smaller blood vessels not found when measuring you blood pressure with a cuff.
