Naturo What?

Many people ask, "what is Naturopathy"? The concept is simple yet the explanation is complex. I guess the appropriate question is. " How have I ( Dr. Reid) added to the conversation of natural healing to the patients I serve. And what makes my approach different from say,"your traditional doctor's appointment."

My answer would be relationship building! My relationship to you, being of pure intent, helping you (patient) understand the relationship between current states of health and future possibilities. Many of us struggle with what we think are the harsh realities of the aging body, yet the reality is, the relationship between our internal and external environment and disease.

So, what does the practice of Naturopathy offer? It offers a bridge between what we think we know about our health and the truth based on research, expert advice from me and a willingness to come from under the shadows of the brain washing of pharmaceutical commercials that give us 5 loud reasons to poison our system and 12 harmful side effects!

  1. We know that we are fearfully and wonderfully made! Thank you for offering a better understanding of what you call "the bridge". This will further our understanding of the mind, body and spirit connection for the betterment of the "Body Temple" which is the true house of God!

    Rev. Medgar L. Reid

  2. Naturopathy has come to mean many things to many people. Are herbs and vitamins really that powerful to help me kick the prescription drug habit? I think I'm conditioned to believe that when I go to the doctors the next step must be the pharmacy.

  3. That is not uncommon for most of us. I have to even stop myself from reaching for a Tylenol PM when there is as shortage of Valerian root capsules or Chamomile tea on hand. The natural remedies work like a charm without doing damage to your liver. The problem is we remember the tylenol and forget the herbs or tea.
