Dr. Henry Childers - Delaware Integrative Medicine
Delaware Integrative Medicine is a multi-provider integrative practice located in Georgetown, Delaware, founded and led by Dr. Henry Childers, MD. Dr. Childers is board-certified in General Surgery and Cardiothoracic Surgery, holds advanced certificates in Frequency Specific Microcurrent (FSM) and Ozone Therapy, and is a fellow in the American Academy of Ozone Therapy. He is also a co-investigator on a Health and Human Services Institutional Review Board ozone efficacy research study. The practice falls under the Holistic and Integrative category of medicine.
The practice explicitly addresses environmental toxins as a source of illness, identifying pesticides, artificial food chemicals, inhaled chemicals, substances applied to the body, and heavy metals as significant contributors to disease. Heavy metals treated include lead, cadmium, aluminum, mercury, arsenic, and iron. The practice’s detoxification framework recognizes that accumulated toxins can be a major stumbling block for healing and centers treatment on supporting the body’s natural elimination pathways. Dr. Childers is described as one of the only Lyme Literate Medical Doctors (LLMD) in the region, with a special interest in antibiotic-free Lyme disease treatment protocols.
Conditions addressed include heavy metal toxicity, chronic fatigue syndrome, autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, Lyme disease, hormone imbalance, thyroid disease, and neurological disorders, among others. Detoxification therapies offered include hypothermic ozone sauna therapy, major autohemotherapy, chelation therapy, frequency specific microcurrent, pulse electromagnetic field therapy, and rectal insufflation of ozone. Additional services include IV nutrition therapy, bioidentical hormone replacement therapy (BHRT), regenerative cell therapy, stem cell therapy, exosome therapy, platelet-rich plasma (PRP) therapy, peptide therapy, and vein treatments. Chelation therapy is administered via IV and follows appropriate blood screening for various toxins.
The practice offers both in-office appointments (Monday through Thursday in Georgetown) and phone consultations. The contact form indicates phone consultations are available as a scheduling option. Insurance is not accepted; the practice states that treatment decisions are made by the physician, not the insurance company. The website does not mention telehealth across state lines, HSA/FSA eligibility, or a free discovery call.
