What
is the average amount of time people remain under the care
of a Naturopathic Doctor?
That depends mostly on
you, what your health problems are, how fast or slowly your
body responds to the therapies, and how actively you participate
in the treatment. Remember, this is a natural process that
works with the healing ability of your body it cannot be rushed.
Once a person gets back into a balance, they need only return
if other complaints arise. The goal of a naturopathic doctor
is to make a person's vitality stronger than they were before.
When a person is functioning optimally they are more resistant
to infection and disease allowing them a better quality of
life and fewer trips to the doctor in the future.
The best part about Naturopathy
therapy is that it is individualized to the client. No two
clients are treated alike, because no two clients are exactly
the same. Treatments are based on the person's specific
needs and adjusted to meet the changes of the individual.

What is the Education of a Naturopathic Doctor?
Candidates
for Naturopathy Doctorate program must have an undergraduate
degree before being accepted to a Naturopathy Doctorate program.
Naturopathy is a system of therapies that employs natural
forces such as light, heat, air, water and massage. This system
differs most significantly from allopathic by focusing on
building health rather than on treating disease. The techniques
used are non-invasive and may include foods, herbs, fasting,
nutritional supplements, bodywork, and hydrotherapy, forms
of exercise or body movement and/or meditation.

What's the difference between naturopathy and homeopathy?
Homeopathy is a system of preparing and selecting
medicines based on the work of a German physician named Samuel
Hahnemann (1755-1843). Medicines are selected which in large
doses will provoke symptoms similar the disease but instead
are prepared in minute quantities. Naturopathy is profession
which for philosophical reasons uses various "natural
therapies" one of which may be homeopathy. Homeopathy
fits the philosophical tenets of Naturopathy. The formulas
work by stimulating, what homeopaths call the vital force
or in naturopathic terms the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing
power of nature. Homeopathic remedies because they are so
dilute are a relatively safe method of treatment, again fitting
the naturopathic tenet of, Primum non nocere, (commonly translated
as do no harm).

What kind of laboratory work do you do?
We
rarely order laboratory prior to first meeting a client. After
the first comprehensive visit we may chose to order laboratory
work if we feel it will be useful in deciding the direction
of treatment; especially in the areas of nutritional counseling
and balancing female hormones. Traditionally these tests are
usually of the urine, salvia and/or meridian stress analysis.

Do you treat (name your disease)?
In
an approach that often equates symptom and disease, allopathic
philosophy holds that disease is often caused by external
agents and cured when the offending agents, which cause the
symptoms, are eliminated. The traditional naturopath sees
a symptom as a signal that the body's healthy balance has
been upset. According to naturopathic belief, when a symptom
alone is removed, it is most likely being suppressed and may
return later in a chronic form. True health can be achieved
only when balance is restored.
