 Last
week I drove through the hills of rural Pennsylvania, past
gorgeous old stone houses, ravines, and clusters of antique
shops to visit the Maulfair Medical Center in Topton, PA.
I had heard about Dr. Conrad Maulfair's extensive sauna
detoxification program at his presentation at the International
College of Integrative Medicine meeting in Chicago last
winter and I was excited to see the facility as well as
attend a workshop entitled "Toxins Impact Your Health"
presented by Dr. Maulfair's wife and office manager Colleen.
As I traveled closer to my destination
I noticed several bus-stop billboards for the Maulfair clinic
which helped greatly in pointing the direction. Like many
doctors practicing integrative medicine, Dr. Maulfair's
patients come from many miles around, and most follow a
path like I did from a nearby city. Though some local people
do get medical care from the center, the billboards were
a great idea to guide visitors to their destination. Both
Colleen and Conrad give a series of free seminars as a way
to attract and educate the public about issues of integrative
healthcare.
With education being such a focus of
his medical practice, Dr. Maulfair was delighted to find
a site for his clinic that included a small auditorium,
perfect for seminars and classes of all kinds. The site
of the Maulfair Medical Center was once the corporate headquarters
for an appliance manufacturer. Included in the building
was a complete test-kitchen/restaurant facility ready to
go and fully equipped. Though they currently are not using
the restaurant, the Maulfairs dream of someday incorporating
a cafe where patients can get healthy food and snacks during
their stay.
 The
Maulfair Medical Center employs nine staff members and includes
an infusion center with thirty-three chairs for Chelation
and other nutritional IVs, a full service sauna detoxification
area with locker rooms and exercise equipment, staff offices
and a family practice area. It is beautifully decorated
with a warm, homey feel, featuring Conrad's collection of
folk art and Pennsylvania Dutch frakturs. At one time it
included a small health food store on the premises.
Sauna Detoxification based on Ron Hubbard's
book Clear Body, Clear Mind is a Maulfair specialty. During
a detoxification program, the patient comes daily for exercise
and hours of dry sauna, encouraging maximum toxin release
with the help of nutritional supplements. As the toxins
are released, patients sometimes experience strange scents,
colors and marks being extracted from their skin. There
is even a display (fondly referred to as "the Museum")
of some of the amazing detox displays the clinic has encountered,
including shorts stained blue with sweat, and photos of
old burn marks from hair products or sunburns that appear
on the skin as it is sweating. This program is very effective
and the Maulfairs have pages upon pages of testimonials
from grateful patients who have seen great improvement to
their mental and physical health.
Touring the Maulfair Medical Center was
inspiring for me. It is so hopeful to think of all the people
who are being helped in this clinic and similar medical
practices utilizing the science of integrative medicine.
