There are only a handful of drugs

that outperform the herbs from which they were invented. There is something wholesome about herbal medicine which seems congruent with trusting God, legend medicine coupled with modern research,  and nature.  By contrast, isolating single molecules into a drug that is so concentrated as to cause pretty severe side-effects, such as seizures, allergic reactions, internal bleeding, tumors, nausea and vomiting, seems to go against the laws of nature.

There are so many natural healing modalities other than pharmaceuticals.  For example fish oil and turmeric can replace steroids to help with most inflammation.  I wish everyone could see a naturopathic doctor before considering having their organs removed.

I help my patients to replace their drugs with natural supplements as quickly as can be done safely.  I can get my patients off blood-pressure drugs, statins, antidepressants, and many other pharmaceuticals.  Even those who are not on pharmaceuticals can use natural supplements to achieve optimal and vibrant health which will be reflected in their bloodwork.

Polypharmacy gets you sicker, not healthier.

I am thankful for those who do sensitivity testing against natural substances. We have cancer testing labs, stool testing labs, and many other labs that test your specific disease against specific natural substances. That makes my job easier and more effective.

I learned early in life that I’m extremely chemically sensitive. So I don’t do well with any drugs. When it was time for him to go to medical school, this is one of the reasons my husband chose Naturopathic Medicine instead of traditional allopathic medicine.
