Naturopathic Medicine can be a little difficult to summarize; and it can mean different things to different people. Here are a few highlights about my particular approach:
- I am not a “touchy-feely” hippy. I am a scientifically trained doctor, with years of clinical medical experience and academic biochemistry research.
- I am not “anti”-drugs or “anti”-conventional medical care. I understand that all practitioners have a role to play. Naturopathy has a role, just like surgery has a role. It is my preference to exhaust natural approaches before turning to more invasive routes, but also recognize that sometimes the situation is severe enough that substantial medical intervention is required initially. I am happy to refer between appropriate practitioners and co-manage as necessary.
- I use nutrition, lifestyle modifications, botanicals, homeopathy and stress/emotional management techniques as my primary tools.
- I whole heartedly believe that mind and body are inseparable. That one cannot heal with out addressing the other. Feeling are good, but feelings are hard.
- Some might call it “alternative” medicine, but I like to think of it as good common sense.
