Questions & AnswersHOW CAN I IMPROVE MY HEALTH NATURALLY?Natural therapies and techniques are far less toxic than conventional medicines, and can be individualized for each person's needs. Natural therapies help me kick start my own healing process by stimulating and supporting my body's ability to heal itself. 
Natural therapies address the underlying cause of illness, rather than treat only the symptoms. Techniques a Naturopath Doctor uses to diagnose a health issue include most of those commonly used by conventional doctors, with the addition of Chinese tongue and pulse diagnoses, a very detailed clinical history, physical exam and other observational techniques. Treatment may include one or many of the following: Nutritional Medicine. Food, vitamin and mineral supplements are utilized to correct nutrional deficiencies and to support optimal health.
Botanical Medicine.
The use of plants as medicine. Traditional herbal knowledge is continually
strengthened with the latest of pharmacological research.
Homeopathic Medicine. This is a system of medicine developed 200 years ago, which makes remedies from very small doses of plant, mineral and animal substances to stimulate the body to heal itself. It goes by the central principal of "like cures like". Homeopathy effectively treats acute symptoms as well as chronic physical, emotional, and mental imbalances. Acupuncture and Chinese Medicine. Traditional Chinese herbal and diet remedies are used in combination with acupuncture, and acupressure. It aims at bringing the body (and mind) into balance through its own system of disease patterns, and unique interpretations of body functioning through connections between natural forces and their affects on health. The origins are ancient and the techniques powerful. Lifestyle and Psychological Counseling. Identifying and modifying unhealthy living habits, and environmental influences on a person. Exercise and stress management are two important tools used. Mental and emotional issues are treated with respect and support. HYPNOSIS: A PATHWAY TO HEALINGHypnosis is a natural level of mind function. It is present when listening to an interesting presentation, reading, watching a movie, enjoying a concert or play and in the relaxed, euphoric state just before falling asleep. The human mind goes in and out of hypnosis many times throughout the course of a day. This happens when the conscious mind shifts focus out of present time as in thinking of a past event or daydreaming for example. 
Hypnosis is applied as a treatment tool by extending the natural, brief phase of hypnosis, also known as an altered state of consciousness. This extension is accomplished by a trance induction, designed to distract, with care and caution, the conscious, analytical mind. Among the methods commonly used are: the countdown, eye closure, arm drop, stairs, elevators or creative visualization such as beach scene for example. Mental awareness is heightened during this state while the physical body relaxes more deeply, simulating the feeling of natural hypnotic pre-sleep. The depth of relaxation is tested and further deepening techniques are employed as needed where pain management is the aim. Exploring the subconscious patterning is then possible in order to address the origin of a given problem. The self understanding gained through this process makes desired changes possible. Benefits of Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy among many are the treatment of addictions, phobias and fears, rage, painless birthing and dental/surgical procedures with accelerated healing, post traumatic stress, issues of weight, improving performance in studies, athletics, etc. WHAT IS MASSAGE 'THERAPY'?

IRIDOLOGY - LOOKING AT YOUR PHYSICAL CONDITION THROUGH YOUR OWN EYESImagine a world where technology exists that could warn of heart attack two to five years in advance of conventional methods. Imagine the suffering that could be avoided with an advanced warning of three to five years for breast cancer. Imagine once more a world where, in children, the functional weakness of pancreas, gall bladder, and the risk of broncho-spastic reactions are well verified in advance.
The emergence of 'preventive and predictive imaging' is in response to consumer and clinician demand for non-invasive, radiation free, early detection tests that help maintain health and not just identify disease states. A high definition video camera made specifically to take pictures of the eye, combined with advanced irido-diagnostic software, gives us an incredibly powerful tool. This system offers a highly accurate, safe, economical, quick and comfortable way to see what's going on in the body.
