Important Disclosures

  • FDA notice. Statements about specific therapies, supplements, IV formulations, devices, and protocols on this website have not been evaluated by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration. These services are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
  • Individual results vary. Patient stories, testimonials, and outcomes described anywhere on this site reflect one person's experience and are not representative of the results any other patient should expect. Nothing on this site should be read as a guarantee or promise of a particular result.
  • Complementary care. The therapies offered at Wellness Alternatives are intended to complement, not replace, the care you receive from your primary physician, specialists, mental health providers, surgical team, and any other clinicians involved in your care.
  • Not a substitute for emergency care. If you are experiencing a medical emergency, call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department.
  • Educational, not personalized medical advice. Information on this website is provided for general educational purposes. It is not a substitute for an in-person clinical evaluation and personalized medical advice from a qualified healthcare provider who knows your full medical history.
  • FDA-cleared vs. FDA-approved. Where the site references medical devices, "cleared" indicates the device is permitted for marketing in the United States under the FDA's 510(k) pathway and is not the same as FDA "approval." Specific clinical indications cleared for any device may not match every use described on the site, which is selected by Dr. Eng based on clinical judgment.
  • "Off-label" and emerging therapies. Some therapies referenced on this site (including, but not limited to, molecular hydrogen, hydrogen inhalation, EWOT, IV nutrient formulations, UVBI, and certain shockwave applications) are based on emerging or off-label research. They are offered as supportive care within a broader clinical plan, not as approved treatments for any named disease.

Where to Read More

The links below point to publicly searchable databases of peer-reviewed research and to recognized educational organizations. Listing a resource is not an endorsement of any specific product, conclusion, or outcome — it is a starting point for the curious reader.

IV Nutritional Therapy

Most IV nutritional formulations are not FDA-approved drug products. Vitamin and mineral repletion is a recognized clinical practice when guided by labs and physician oversight. Outcomes vary by individual.

EWOT (Exercise With Oxygen Therapy)

Supplemental-oxygen exercise has been studied in athletic and clinical contexts. EWOT is a wellness/performance protocol, not a treatment for any specific disease.

Cove Brain Reset Chair (Vibration Neuromodulation)

Vibration-based neuromodulation is an emerging area of study. The Cove Chair is offered as supportive wellness care — never as a replacement for mental health treatment or medication.

Hemealumen UVBI (Ultraviolet Blood Irradiation)

UVBI has a clinical history dating to the 1940s with renewed interest in functional medicine contexts. Offered here as supportive care, never as a standalone treatment for any specific diagnosis.
