History of the Waters Center for Biological Medicine

The Chief medical adviser for Waters Center for Biological Medicine is Robert S. Waters, M.D. who started using complementary and alternative medical therapies for common illnesses in 1981 and in 1983 founded Waters Preventive Medical Center.
So the name of our Center changed...but what does that really mean? Well, let’s backtrack a little bit into history to see how Dr. Waters and his approaches have evolved over the years. He began his private practice back in the early 1980’s as Waters Preventive Medical Center. Prevention! What a great concept. In an ideal world, prevention would be key to stop illness from even happening. However, there is a lot stacked against us...our environment, our food sources, the 100,000-plus chemicals being used around the world today, etc. In 2004, we changed our name to Waters Integrative Health Center to capture the concept of integrating the traditional world of medicine with the “alternative” medicine community who tend to have a “think outside the box” mentality. Dr. Waters had already been walking that line for many years, so the change in name and focus of our Center seemed appropriate at the time. In 2014, 10 years later, he is still “thinking outside of the box” and merging the many aspects of medicine and healing into a comprehensive approach. Using his background as a trained scientist in genetics and molecular biology, he has always focused on identifying and treating the cause of the disease rather than just masking the symptoms, all while using the most natural approach possible for this treatment. In essence, we are going back to the biological basis of the human body, hence the new name...Waters Center for Biological Medicine.
We are proud to reinvent ourselves again and further focus on treating you as an individual person. Dr. Waters continues to learn and improve his treatment methods. No matter what a patient presents with, our focus is to restore their body to optimum potential. This is achieved by performing state of the art laboratory testing to reveal underlying issues, transitioning to a health-promoting diet, restoration of the intestinal microbiome and the resuscitation of our energy producing organelles, the mitochondria. Mitochondria? These are the little furnaces in each of our cells. They were originally also called “the power house of the cell” and indeed really are. They represent 10% of our body weight and they contain the enzymes and associated factors (vitamins, minerals, thyroid hormone, cortisol, CoQ10, L-carnitine, et al) necessary to turn fats and sugars into energy (known chemically as ATP—Adenosone Triphosphate). When people come to a doctor and say they just don’t feel well, they are actually saying “my mitochondria are not working right.”
There are many reasons for this but can be grouped into two primary categories:
1. They are missing components of their machinery, such as vitamins, minerals, etc.
2. They are not getting enough oxygen or aren’t able to burn the incoming fats and sugars that enter the body via food due to a reduction in Oxygen Utilization.
Oxygen is the basis of Life on this planet. Try holding your breath for five minutes and you will see that this is not a theory. We experience a reduced ability to turn food into energy because we either aren’t getting enough oxygen into our little furnaces (due to poor lung function, heart function or poor blood flow related to narrow or inflamed arteries), don’t have the co-factors our mitochondrial enzymes and electron transfer assemblies need for resonant energy production, or don’t have a critical number or quality of mitochondria. These problems are caused by two main and very common issues:
1. The wrong fuel, which means the wrong FOOD
2. Lack of activation of the mitochondria, which means inadequate exercise
Our goal is to get your energy producing machines up and running again. We will help you correct your fuel intake, encourage you to increase body movement and correct the deficiencies and remove the toxins so your body can restore. We have the knowledge, technology and therapeutic delivery systems to dramatically improve your health, in most cases in a matter of months.

“Unless we put medical freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship…To restrict the art of healing to one class of men and deny equal privileges to others will constitute the Bastille of medical science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a republic… The Constitution of this republic should make special privilege for medical freedom as well as religious freedom.”
Benjamin Rush, M.D. signer of The Declaration of Independence, physician to George Washington -From The Autobiography of Benjamin Rush |
