Allergies  
The electromagnetic field around the body can not only be scientifically measured, it can also be photographed. The photography of the electromagnetic field is called Kirilian photography. There are also medical specialists called Kirilian Diagnosticians. Many major medical centers have them on staff. They are usually master acupuncturists and many have gone to Heidelberg, Germany, for training in reading and analyzing the magnetic field for diagnostic purposes.

We react many times a day and in many different ways to the electromagnetic fields of people and things. As an example, if you meet someone for the first time, you can have three primary reactions.
.....................................................................................................................................
  1. Like a long lost brother:
Your electromagnetic fields harmonize, giving you a feeling of love and safety.
  2. Neutral:
There is no good or bad reaction, it is just there.
  3. Distrust/Fear:
Your electromagnetic fields clash, giving rise to the fight or flight adrenal reaction (ALLERGY).
.....................................................................................................................................
When the patient has inhaled, ingested or had contact with a disharmonious allergen, the body goes into the same fight/flight reaction, but it can't fight or run away. The body will respond in symptoms, to tell the patient that they did something wrong. Dr. McCaffrey works to harmonize the antagonistic allergen with the body, thereby eliminating the negative response.

Chronic Pain  
Of all the health issues tormenting humanity, none has had a bigger impact than chronic pain and pain related issues. Prescriptions are plentiful from Cox 2 inhibitors such as Celebrex for arthritis to Tylenol with Codeine for tooth aches. Pain is a big business and our current health care approach does not seem to be working to well. After all, the top selling over the counter medications in the United States are painkillers. They account for nearly 20 billion dollars in sales each year. What this tells me is that medicine has decided that this problem is so common and relieving it is so difficult that they will leave it up to you to fix.

Does it really have to be this difficult? For centuries, conservative care has been assisting humanity with its chronic degenerative issues and none has been more important than chronic pain. Pain is an indicator to the body that something is awry and out of kilter. It is the body calling out for help and relief. All too often, we simply ignore our body's pleas and attempt to cover up its shouts with this prescription or that medication. What have we really gained from this other than a 20 billion dollar out of pocket bill and the privilege to try to fix what our doctors cannot or do not have time to.

It does not have to be this way. At McCaffrey Family Health Center, we believe in searching for the root cause of the problem and not just masking the condition until the body is forced to compensate in some unpredictable manor which is all too often worse than the original problem to begin with. Our approach to health care supports the body and nourishes it back to health by removing the stress and supports the body's normal function. It is effective and rewarding. Best of all it is often life changing. A diagnosis is not a death sentence! It just means it is time for a change.

Weight Loss / ChiroThin  
Dr. McCaffrey has been searching for a weight loss program that is easy to follow and provides real results. During his search he has found a lot of programs are expensive and do not work fast enough to keep patients motivated until he found ChiroThin. However, it is worth mentioning that in his ten plus years as a physician, he has never seen anything as powerful as ChiroThin. Most patients lose 25 PLUS pounds in six weeks when they follow the program under his guidance. These results have been unheard of until now and can mean a new lease on life for his patients. Weight loss is a big culprit in almost all health ailments we face today and many American's lose the battle with weight loss each year only to find themselves frustrated and unable to reach their goals. Just losing weight can mean lower blood pressure, eliminating heart disease and diabetes, less stress on joints and the body all around, more energy and a better life! Dr. McCaffrey also helps his patients maintain their weight loss after the program is over. Maintaining a healthy weight can be as difficult if not more so then actually losing the weight to begin with.

This is why Dr. McCaffrey's weight loss program is so successful!

Blood Pressure / Blood Sugar  
The catch phrase of the 21st century is a term called "metabolic syndrome". It is characterized by high blood pressure, blood sugar imbalances, cholesterol elevations and high triglycerides. Due to this, blood pressure is a good place to start because it is a corner stone of metabolic syndrome. Currently, stroke and heart disease are among the top 5 causes of mortality in the United States. Often one will find cholesterol levels and triglcerides linked to these. However, we have a dilemma.

For the past 60 years, the healthcare field has been chasing heart disease and stroke and yet through all the medications, millions of prescriptions and a multitude of therapies very little has been accomplished. Heart disease continues to battle with cancer year in and year out for the nations top cause of death! I think it is safe to assume that a change in how healthcare deals with these conditions is long overdue.

At McCaffrey Family Health Center, we believe in finding the root cause of the problem and understanding how the condition truly affects the body. Metabolic syndrome, heart disease, hypertension and diabetes are all very real and unfortunately growing at an alarming rate! There is hope though! All of these conditions have warning signs and often early indicators. All one has to do is look and listen to what the body is telling them. By focusing on the signs the body gives off and assisting the body, amazing things can and often do happen! Simple approaches such as modifying diet to support blood sugar stability or hydrating to help blood pressure can have profound affects. The real secret is to support the body and assist it by restoring normal function.

Too often, sick care gets wrapped up in telling the body what to do through prescriptions, medications and surgeries. All which works well with acute care and trauma. This is the primary reason the United States is #1 in the world for acute care; however, our healthcare system currently ranks 42nd in the world according to the World Health Organization. We spend more money per person than any other nation in the world on healthcare and yet our current systems falls very short coming in at 42nd place! It is really quite simple. We are just not very good at chronic degenerative disease. Something has to change and it has to start be restoring normal function and supporting the body. This is the real answer towards regaining health!

Female Health  
From hormone imbalances to infertility, female health issues have their very own place among health problems. Millions of dollars are spent yearly to convince women that they are not healthy enough, thin enough, or happy enough. Products and advertisements are endless. One cannot pick up a magazine or watch a commercial where some product is not being pushed at our female population. One would be hard pressed to find any woman over the age of 18 in our country who does not know what osteoporosis is or heart disease for that matter.

Countless claims have been made over the years involving hormones and their role in preventing heart disease, stroke and bone loss. However these claims were disproven in 2003 when a landmark study was discontinued because it was discovered hormone replacement actually increases breast cancer, does nothing for heart disease and is completely in effective for osteoporosis. Year in and year out new medications flood the market making numerous claims. One thing continues to hold true though, there are no magic bullets.

Whether suffering from hot flashes or night sweats, endometriosis or menstrual cramping, infertility or bloating, menopause or poor libido there is always help. Terms such as osteoporosis and fibromyalgia are not the end of the world. IBS and constipation can be helped. Insomnia and fatigue are not normal things one just has to live with. All one has to do is assist the body in restoring and regaining normal function. It begins by searching for the cause and helping the body to either remove or adapt to the stress plaguing it. Once the root cause is found miracles can happen.

One of my mentors once told me "if you don't expect miracles they never happen". So "start expecting them and almost anything can be achieved!"

Digestive Health  
It is here where Dr. McCaffrey's career truly began. When he was in graduate school earning his doctorate, he began to notice a very disturbing pattern and became aware very quickly that pain was not the only reason people sought out care. Digestive disturbances were showing up in our society in alarming numbers and the chronic illnesses attached to them were not far behind. Cancer continues to plague our nation as its top killer almost 80 years after Otto Warburg won his Noble prize for discovering the mechanism by which sugar feeds cancer. Yet today, many doctors and nutritionists a like do not even acknowledge that digestion even plays a role in the disease. One cannot even pick up a paper today without reading about how diabetes is expected to triple in the next 30 years. The problem is that diabetes has already tripled over the past three decades and diabetes is directly influenced by our digestive system! Allergies are everywhere. Alzheimer's and autism are now considered epidemics with no hope for a cure in the foreseeable future according to former surgeon general C. Everett Koop. Just think we have not even mentioned heart disease or stroke numbers! Both of which involve cholesterol and diet.

As Dr. Koop noted we need a change in our health care thinking and it has to start with focusing on prevention and avoiding the chronic illnesses by finding their cause. Dr. McCaffrey firmly believes that this approach has to begin with digestive health. It is here where many of the body's mysteries lie. This is the one area where the greatest changes in our society in the past 50 years have occurred. Our diets have dramatically changed over this time and have become more and more processed and laboratory conceived. Seldom do families eat at home anymore and often the meals are quick prepackaged or fast foods devoid of most of their nutritional value. It does not take long for the body to be forced to react.

Have you ever wondered if you have a digestive problem? Maybe this will help. Have you ever been bloated, suffered from gas, fatigue, or heartburn? Do you have reflux or take antacids or proton pump inhibitors such as Prilosec? How about diarrhea, constipation, or IBS? Do you still have a gall bladder? What about allergies or maybe a skin condition like eczema? Did I mention insomnia, arthritis, hypertension, or fertility problems? If you said yes to any of these, welcome the number 2 and 3 top selling over the counter medications behind painkillers. Remember what we said about them? Now you might be seeing why digestive health is so important. Unfortunately, we do not have a magic fix all pill. However, with a little education and some assistance, digestive health can begin to be restored. Imagine the possibilities! All you need to do is find the cause and the healing can begin.
