DISCOVER THE NATUROPATHIC ROUTE

Dr. Barbara Rush Offers New Options for Your Health

one of his coronary arteries and after he had spent time with a famous cardiologist to learn how to better take care of his heart. Later I learned that same cardiologist also died from a heart attack. It was clear to me that some of the options available to people weren’t working. That is when I started looking around for medicine beyond the allopathic options.” Dr. Rush has treated a wide variety of conditions, from menopause and diabetes to gut health. She specializes in hormone balancing, as well as IV therapies, offering both immune IV and IV ozone. Immune IV is designed to help get your immune system “back online,” so to speak, by boosting your immune system. IV ozone therapy is an antimicrobial blood treatment that can be beneficial for patients who have chronic, underlying immune problems. IV ozone sanitizes the blood and can address bacterial, viral, and fungal issues. Though she specializes in IV therapies, Dr. Rush is understandably very passionate about heart health, too. She is in the middle of a trial for a product she’s developed that is designed to help improve a patient’s cardiovascular health. This is a free, open trial for anyone who is interested in potentially improving their heart health. “I really want to help people live longer, more fulfilling lives,” says Dr. Rush. “I get to see people who have struggled with their health, who are not happy about their current situations, and help them find new options. They have the opportunity to realize that medicine doesn’t have to be as complicated as it is often made out to be.” If you are interested in learning more or would like to sign up for Dr. Rush’s heart-health trial, call 562.673.7614. New patients can take advantage of a free, 30-minute health evaluation. Get answers to your questions and learn what options may be available to you beyond the allopathic medicine route.

My father passed away after he had open-heart surgery to unblock
