Clinical Nutrition: Nutrition and the therapeutic use of foods has always been a cornerstone of natural medicine. Many medical conditions can be treated as effectively with foods, nutritional supplements, and natural metabolites as they can by any other means, but with fewer complications and side effects. A growing body of scientific knowledge in this area validates this.
Botanical Medicine: Not only do plants have important nutrients, many plant substances are gentle yet powerful medicines, with advantages over conventional drugs. They are effective and safe when used properly, in the right dose and in the proper combinations with other herbs or treatments. A resurgence of scientific research in Europe and Asia is demonstrating that some plant substances are superior to synthetic drugs in clinical situations.
Physical and energetic medicine: In the last 100 years, ancient and modern methods, such as hatha yoga, Reiki, acupressure, and colon cleansing have become prevalent in the United States.
Office Policies: Office hours are by appointment only. If you have an acute problem, every effort will be made to see you that day.
