Daniel is an author of numerous medical articles for professional journals. He lectures both at seminars and for public interest groups. Each person's healing is journey. Daniel believes that an excellent physician will also be a guide on the healing journey.
Prolotherapy
Prolotherapy is a safe, non-surgical treatment for chronic pain and joint degeneration using injections to stimulate healing. I have been using prolotherapy for over fifteen years and have studied with field leaders, most recently Dr. Paterson and Dr. Bjorn Eck. I have participated in prolotherapy clinics in Europe, Venezuela and Tahiti. With over 25 years experience in nutritional medicine, I emphasize metabolic diet and a nutrient therapy along with prolotherapy to optimize the body's healing response.
When I see a new patient who is considering prolotherapy, I will take a thorough history: perform a physical exam as well as review diet and nutrients. The prolotherapy solutions I use are combinations of Dextrose, bicarbonate, Lidocaine or Xylocaine, and sterile water. Occasionally, Zinc or other natural ingredients are added to stimulate a healing response.
I will be happy to discuss your questions regarding prolotherapy and look forward to introducing you to this very effective, natural therapy for chronic pain, joint degeneration of the neck, back, knees, feet, hips, sacroiliac, and shoulders.
At San Francisco Preventive Medical Group, Daniel Dunphy’s goals are
To support his patient’s health during medical cancer therapies,
Help patients detoxify and eliminate cancer provoking and cancer causing toxins, and
Tonify or strengthen organs, structures and systems including the liver, lungs, kidneys, spleen, lymphatics, digestive tract and the cancer fighting adaptive immune system.
Finally, cancer treatment should not end with chemotherapy, radiation and surgery. After these traditional treatments comes the critical time where minimal residual disease in a patient offers the opportunity to control and regulate the residual cancer using the immune system. This is a sustainable, proactive strategy rather then holding one’s breath and waiting for the other shoe to drop.

Dear Dan, Your review of C’s health picture and your wise words made a big difference Wednesday. Some deeper understandings seemed to have been forged and he expressed how much he got out of his time with you. His words, “ That was REALLY good.” We had a good talk on the way home, reviewing the appointment and he planned to move ahead in a healing direction. He’s determined to do so now thanks to you.
