Botanical medicine:

The is the use of plants as medicine has been practiced since the beginning of man and I believe that nature provides us with everything we need to keep our bodies healthy and strong. Herbs can be powerful medicine and when used properly can elicit amazing results. There is an art to choosing and combining botanicals to best treat each patient individually, that is why I like prepare each tincture based on a thorough interview and physical exam to match each case.

Homeopathy :

This nontoxic, synergistic medicine does not justremove disease it strengthens and harmonizes the source of life in anindividual. This system of medicine is over two hundred years old and acts to enhance the body's innate immune response while very rarely having any side effects. It is based on the theory of like curing like, for example Apis is highly diluted bee venom and it is used to treat sore, sensitive, swellings after bites. So, while normally bee venom would cause these sore, sensitive, swellings, a highly diluted form of it cures these symptoms.

Cranio-sacral therapy:

Cranio-sacral therapy is used to bring balance back to the whole system through light hands on manipulation. This therapy is best for chronic headaches, migraines, insomnia, fuzzy thinking, head injuries, chronic sinusitis and hyperactivity. Each session lasts for about 1 hour and brings the recipient into a state of centered relaxation that lasts for days.

Clinical nutrition:

This refers both to the practice of using food to maintain health as well as the therapeutic use of food to treat illness. Scientific research has shown that many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with food and nutritional supplements as they can by other means, with fewer complications and side effects. There is no way around the fact that we are what we eat (or consume). The nutrients we ingest today are used to build the body we will be living in tomorrow. I help patients to find the diet that best suits them considering their physical constitution, health, time and resources to eat good food.

Supplements:

These provide a convient a potentized way of getting many different natural substances into the body. Not everyone likes taking pills, so I offer many powderd and liquid forms of supplements. I only carry pharmaceutical grade supplements that are available through doctors only. There have been clinical research trials for the efficacy of the supplements that I use.

Detoxification

Heavy metals, pesticides, pollution, excess hormones and mucus plaque all need to be elliminated from the body in a safe way. This results in a renewed vitality and ability for the body to heal itself.

Lifestyle Counseling:

When treating a person as a whole it is imperative to explore the mind, emotions and spirit. This gives clues as to reasons for physical aliments as well as answers as to how to make shifts and heal ones life as a whole. Many times patients do not feel comfortable confiding in their doctor all of their symptoms and counseling provides a basis for patient doctor trust. This leads to a deeper understanding of the patient as a whole and yields better treatment options.

Lab diagnosis and monitoring:

Physical exams are a routine part of a visit, serum and salivary monitoring of hormones, neurotransmitters, organ and blood health, allergy, digestive and toxicity assesments, Ultrasounds, MRI, CT scans, mammograms and thermograms are all ordered as needed. Being able to use lab data to monitor progress allows the patient and other doctors that are working with the patient to see objective data. This objective data can be used to modify treatments, validate the benefit of treatments and monitor steady progress.
