Dr. Banyas has been using EMPower Plus and the Total Amino Solution in her practice.
"The results that I have been seeing are tremendous. I have been able to get patients off medications or drastically reduce their dosages. Many are living productive, full lives and experiencing true health and emotional freedom. In addition, I have observed that my patients are able to more easily understand emotional patterns that have been disruptive and make positive changes with ease and little effort."
Dr. Banyas continues to explore and expand new frontiers into the causes and treatment of disease on an energetic level in combination with natural medicine, nutraceuticals, homeopathics and bio-identical hormone replacement in her private practice.
