Can Naturopathic Medicine help you?

Help With Cancer

Naturopathic medicine uses scientifically proven methods to help reduce the side effects of chemotherapy and radiation while increasing the efficacy of treatment and improving quality of life.   Naturopathic treatments can reduce or eliminate nausea and vomiting, pain, radiation induced burns, gastrointestinal complaints, fatigue and many other symptoms.   Naturopathic therapies also have research showing reduced propensity for metastasis, increased protection for healthy tissue while inducing death (apoptosis) to cancerous tissue, stimulating the immune system to help destroy the cancer and reducing circulating hormone levels for hormone sensitive cancers.

 

Gut Health

Naturopathic medicine shines at healing distressed GI tracts.  We use cutting edge diagnostic tests to find the root cause of the problem, and use diet changes and supplements to heal the gut so that symptoms can be alleviated and health restored.   Symptoms such as diarrhea, constipation, bloating, flatulence, reflux, stomach cramps etc as well as diagnosis of GERD, IBS, Crohn's, Spastic colon, Ulcerative Colitis, Celiacs or others have all been resolved or reduced significantly through naturopathic care.

 

 

Woman’s Hormonal Imbalances

Naturopathic Doctors are trained to use herbs, dietary changes and supplements to help restore hormonal imbalances.   We use great treatments to help alleviate menopausal symptoms, help those with infertility issues, reduce bleeding for patients with heavy periods, restore normal cycling for patients with dysfunctional uterine bleeding or amenorrhea (no regular periods), reduce PMS symptoms, heal fibrocystic breasts, and reduce the size and pain associated with cysts.

 


Weight Loss

Naturopathic doctors are trained extensively in nutrition and lifestyle modifications to help restore health and lose weight.   We are trained in several weight loss techniques to not only help people lose weight safely and effectively, but to teach them how to keep the weight off.   Often a few simple dietary modifications can be made and the pounds will fall away.  

 

 

Diabetes

Diabetes type II (which accounts for 90% of the diabetes in this country) is completely reversible and preventable through diet and lifestyle modifications.   Naturopathic medicine uses specific nutrition programs and supplements to help restore and balance blood sugar and help people lose weight.  Symptoms such as neuropathy, visual changes, kidney damage and chronic infections can all be reduced or eliminated through naturopathic care.

 

Pediatric Concerns

Naturopathic doctors use a holistic approach to help restore and balance young patients systems.   Special diagnostic tests and specific treatments can help reduce ADD/ADHD symptoms, clear up dermatologic issues (such as eczema), reduce or eliminate chronic infections, help balance emotional concerns and remove gastrointestinal complaints.
