Treatment and Healing Philosophy

Restoring digestion and teaching good nutrition is the foundation of my practice. Without the ability to take in good nutrients and absorb them, your chances of having long-lived health are greatly diminished. I am a believer of both food groups, plants and animals. I think the best diet depends upon the individual and the circumstances. I prefer you get your nutrients from your food rather than from supplements.

It is important to know that I am not so concerned with fixing what's wrong or getting rid of your symptoms; instead, I am trying to enhance your health so that your own body can overcome whatever illness you have. I try to do this with few, if any, medications whether they be drugs, herbs or homeopathics.

I am interested to hear your story of how you or your child came to your/their current state of health. Listening well is often the best medicine of all. After hearing your story, doing a physical exam and any indicated lab tests, together, we will come up with a treatment program that is specific to you. I expect you to begin feeling better within the first four weeks of treatment. Duration of treatment varies depending upon the condition but the rule of thumb is for every year you’ve been feeling ill, give yourself a month of treatment to heal.

With tears of joy welling up in his eyes, a patient once said to me, "Cancer is the best thing that's ever happened to me." It's moments like this that make me believe we are healing all the time and that health is not a finite state to try to achieve but more a process of becoming that is mysterious and miraculous.
