Welcome to Dr. Higgins Online Clinic!

Obviously you are person concerned with your health and well being. Congratulations!

Alternative therapies are relatively new to the main stream Western Medicine mentality of thinking. They have grown in popularity due to the public’s dissatisfaction with the limitations of conventional treatments. The conventional medical system as I have said over and over again on my radio show uses a disease model rather than a wellness model.

Conventional medicine truly believes that a pap smear, a mammography or colonoscopy is preventative. It is not, rather it is a diagnosis screening for early detection. Prevention is being called upon more and more as people become more educated and live longer. Who wants to live longer if you don’t live healthier? In fact, a whole booming industry has developed in an attempt to satisfy this urgent need to stay young and healthy.

I strongly suggest that before you try any of these remedies, you to seek professional advise. Do not follow advice given by sales people in health food stores, or on-line advertising by marketers for the particular product they are selling. If a marketer has the money to put together a Hollywood infomercial for instance, rest assured that the money has gone gone into the marketing rather the product.

Many people have the impression that if something is over the counter, it really can’t be very potent. That is a false assumption. It is as simple as this — every supplement you take has an effect on your bodies balance.

Super EPA Yes $16.80
Loading Updating cart...

Super EPA is one of the Body Basic products. These products contain the essential nutrients needed by the body that are most lacking. They extend the life of your body. Super EPA is one of the top 4 products that I advise people to take.
Super EPA contains EPA. It is an omega-3 “essential fatty acid”, which means that it is a vital fat that the body does not manufacture. One of the chief nutritional deficiencies of people is that of oil, yet it is a crucial nutrient to all parts of the body down to the cellular level.
The oil is a key nutrient to your cardiovascular health, sleep, immune system, brain and nerve function, emotional well-being, memory, hormone function, muscular health, joint health and having beautiful skin. It helps to prevent being overweight, cancer strokes, diabetes, headaches, cellular degeneration, hot flashes, scarring, inflammation, allergies, Alzheimer’s disease, autoimmune problems (when the body’s system attack it’s own tissue or organs) and fibromyalgia.
The oil contained in this product, omega-3, is not contained in the liquid vegetable oils you find in food stores or the oil used in restaurants and food processing. The high levels of this oil that are necessary for your good health can only be achieved through supplementation. Even daily fish intake cannot provide as much oil as your body actually needs.
Some of the oil made by other labs contains mercury and other toxins. Even if you are not aware of having any problems with your health, these oils are still needed as a basic fuel for all body functions. Not taking these oils is like driving your car for years without putting gas or oil in it. You wouldn’t dream of doing that, would you?
The bottom line is everyone should be taking this supplement. Take it. Your body will thank you for it!
Usage: An adult could begin on 6 per day. A child could begin with 2 per day. A baby could start on 1 capsule punctured and squeezed onto their tongue per day.

  • Emotional: Irritability, depression, anxiety, restlessness and mood swings
  • Structural: Chronic fatigue and weakness, muscle spasms, osteoporosis
  • Cardiovascular: High blood pressure, fatty yellow arterial plaque, irregular heartbeat
  • Neurological: Migraine headaches, excessive noise and pain sensitivity
  • Blood sugar difficulties
  • PMS
  • Causes of magnesium deficiency:

  • Alcohol, sodas, sugar
  • Chocolate and coffee
  • High animal protein diet intake
  • Isolated calcium supplementation contributes to magnesium loss
  • Stress
  • Loud music or noise
  • High dairy intake
  • High salt intake
  • Excessive heat
  • Core Level Magnesium is a very balanced form of magnesium, containing 23 nutrients that aid the absorption of magnesium.
    Core Level Magnesium contains a small amount of niacin which is vitamin B-3. Niacin can sometimes cause a “niacin flush,” which is a healthy thing.
    Usage: An adult can start by taking 3 tablets per day. To help with sleep, take tablets before bed. Too much magnesium can cause diarrhea. If this occurs, simply lower your dose.

    Core Level Liver Yes $25.80

    You cannot live without a liver. It performs over 1,000 chemical functions such as the processing of sugar, fat and proteins. Your liver filters about 1 ½ quarts of blood per minute, removing toxins, drug residues, and food additives. It helps to maintain hormone balance as it breaks down hormones after they have served their purpose. For example, failure of the liver to dispose of adrenalin (the “fight or flight” hormone) may lead to irritability and temper.
    Poor function can result in:
    1. Digestive symptoms of poor absorption, swollen belly, bowel irregularities, foul smelling gas, appetite irregularities, and feeling tired after eating and nausea.
    2. Structural Symptoms of muscle difficulties, aching joints.
    3. Fatigue
    4. Headaches
    5. Insomnia
    6. Overweight
    7. Emotional symptoms of irritability, irrational anger, mood instability, depression.
    8. Hypoglycemia
    9. Hormonal problems such as PMS, hot flashes, breast soreness
    10. Weak immune function
    11. Skin problems such as psoriasis, acne
    12. High cholesterol
    14. Low body temperature
    15. Irregularities of blood clotting
    Your overworked liver well deserves your support. Core Level Liver is a balanced, natural product that was made for that important job. It contains 24 liver friendly nutrients to aid liver regeneration and support function.
    Core level Liver contains a small amount of niacin which is vitamin B-3. Niacin can sometimes cause a “niacin flush”, which is a healthy thing.
    Usage: A beginning recommended dose of Core Level Liver is one a day. This should be increased gradually to 6 or more per day for an adult. For a child 1 a day is a good dose.

    Poor kidney function has been known to produce a wide range of problems such as exhaustion, generalized edema or swelling, hypertension, anemia, heart failure, calcium level disturbances and nerve damage. Puffy bags under your eyes frequently indicate kidney trouble.
    Healthy kidneys maintain the correct balance of water and mineral salts in your body. They also clean the blood by filtering it, sending toxins out of the urine. Therefore poor kidney function results in a buildup of toxins that can be dangerous.
    The kidneys sit on either side of the lower back and when they are not functioning properly, the low back area can become painful. Not all low back pain is from disc or spinal problems!
    Core Level Kidney is a balanced, natural product with 22 specialized nutrients to that have been known to help improve kidney function.

    Core Level C-TR(Time Release) Yes $34.20
    Loading Updating cart...

    I have found that most vitamins C products on the market contribute to weight gain. This is possibly due to their sweeteners, flavoring additives or the source of the vitamin C itself. These products significantly deplete chromium in the body which is key to weight loss. The only one I have found that does not do this is Core Level C-Time Release or Core Level C-TR.
    Vitamin C has been known to:

  • Increase energy
  • Help prevent viruses, bacteria, and toxic accumulations
  • Help prevent the occurrence of cancer and heart disease
  • Help produce anti-stress hormones
  • Decrease cholesterol in blood
  • Promote healing
  • Maintain solid bones and teeth; correct loose teeth and bleeding gums
  • Prevent allergic reactions
  • Act as a natural laxative
  • Help prevent blood clotting
  • It is vital for collagen formation. Collagen is a structured protein in all cells that gives them strength and support. In skin, collagen maintains elasticity.
  • Core Level C-TR is a natural product that contains 15 balancing nutrients to help absorbtion. Core Level C-TR contains a small amount of niacin which is vitamin B-3. Niacin can sometimes cause a “niacin flush,” which is a healthy thing. Usage: An adult could begin taking 6 Core Level C-TR per day. If your stool becomes too loose, it could be a sign that you are taking too much vitamin C. Try lowering the number of tablets per day. If these supplements are chewed the vitamin C enters the system faster. If they are swallowed the time release works to spread out the vitamin C absorption throughout the day. A child could begin taking 1 per day. Quantity: 120
