Services
Acupuncture
Our acupuncture services use traditional Chinese medicine techniques to address chronic pain, stress, and systemic imbalances. Licensed practitioners employ sterile needles to stimulate energy flow and promote natural healing. This therapy complements our integrative approach by enhancing circulation and reducing inflammation.
Detoxification
We offer comprehensive detoxification programs targeting heavy metals, environmental toxins, and metabolic waste. Protocols include chelation therapy, coffee enemas, and nutritional support to enhance liver function. These services help restore biological terrain and improve immune system efficiency.
Chelation Therapy
Our intravenous chelation treatments remove toxic metals like mercury and lead using FDA-approved solutions. This therapy improves cardiovascular health and reduces oxidative stress. Combined with nutritional support, it addresses chronic conditions linked to heavy metal toxicity.
Nutritional Therapy
Personalized nutrition plans address food sensitivities and nutrient deficiencies. We use hair mineral analysis and allergy testing to create customized supplementation regimens. This service optimizes metabolic function and supports cellular healing processes.
IV Therapies
Intravenous nutrient delivery provides high-dose vitamins and minerals directly to cells. Our IV cocktails include glutathione, vitamin C, and mineral blends to boost energy and immune function. This therapy enhances cellular detoxification and metabolic efficiency.

Questions
What makes your approach different from conventional medicine?
We focus on identifying and treating root causes rather than managing symptoms. Our integrative approach combines conventional diagnostics with specialized testing for heavy metals, food sensitivities, and microbial imbalances.
Do you accept health insurance?
We operate as a self-pay practice without insurance contracts to maintain treatment flexibility. This allows us to spend adequate time with patients and offer comprehensive diagnostic options.
What conditions do you treat most effectively?
We specialize in complex chronic conditions like fibromyalgia, chronic fatigue, autoimmune disorders, and treatment-resistant illnesses linked to environmental toxins or dental infections.
How long are initial consultations?
New patient visits typically last 3-4 hours to allow thorough assessment, including medical history review, physical examination, and initial diagnostic testing.
Do you offer remote consultations?
We require in-person visits for initial assessments. Established patients may schedule limited follow-up consultations via phone or video for specific questions about ongoing treatment.
What training do your practitioners have?
Our team includes board-certified physicians, licensed acupuncturists, and certified wellness counselors. Dr. Yu trains medical professionals internationally in Acupuncture Meridian Assessment techniques.

Report
Dr. Yu is more than just a physician. He's a magician. I was sick and weak and no doctors could find the reason why and trust me, I've been with at least over 15 doctors. It got to the extent that I was so sick that I could not work. Luckily, someone referred Dr. Yu and I gave it a try. He gave me a diagnose and said that I was poisoned by mercury. I had no idea what he was talking about since I don't get in touch with mercury at all in my everyday life.
He suggested me to go to a dentist and do a checkup. The dentist told me that the mercury filling was actually infiltrating into my system. I immediately had all my fillings replaced. I felt much better after a couple weeks, and I was able to work after 6 months.
