The Wheel of Health is a model that Dr. Chen has developed to help improve the mental and physical health of his patients who have been sick for years. It is based on seven different spokes representing the major categories of health: Mental, Dental, Gut, Adrenal, Environmental, Hormonal, and Immune. Those issues can affect a person’s risk of Electrohypersensitivity (being aware of electrical, magnetic, and radiofrequency waves such as cellphones/wifi).

Dr. Chen believes that addressing the right health issues at the right time is essential to get the Wheel turning and the person back to health. He has written a book called “A New Way to Health: The Wheel of Health” where he explains his philosophy about healing and how this model has helped many of his patients.

Dr. Chen listens to his patients and their story. From there, he does his examination and determines the most probable causes for what is going on. Once he determines the causes, he prioritizes them (if we want to plant a flower, we have to make space in the ground, plant the seeds and water them in that order). There is an order of treatment based on the individual. Treatments are done with supplements, food changes, acupuncture, neural therapy, and lasers.
