  • CLINICAL QUESTION ONLY: Why must cancer patients avoid metals while in treatment?

    Hi, The simple answer to why it is recommended for newly diagnosed cancer patients to avoid any supplements or topicals w/metal(s) in them is due to potential toxicity of that particular metal(s). There are metals that are shown to be supportive especially with relation to ion changes in the body. However, with cancer, most providers error on the caution side especially if chemotherapy will be involved. Certain metals can reduce the efficacy of certain chemotherapy treatments. While all of this is speculation, lots of research is out there to understand how chemical reactions with metals can produce several different outcomes regarding helping or hindering the healing process.

  • How is naturopathic medicine beneficial for people?

    Hi, Think of Naturopathic medicine as a way of finding the cause and seeing the whole person. I approach each individual in finding a balance to their system. While symptoms may be important, we, Naturopathic Physicians, are always looking for the cause in the symptom picture. It isn't just about using natural remedies or supplements but in finding a lifestyle balance which may also incorporate drugs short-term. It is crucial that when you are laying out your goals what you would like to see in your health. We are simply the means to help you determine the best route possible using as many tools to achieve that balance. READ MORE

  • My daughter is grinding her teeth. What could be the reason behind this?

    Hi, Typically when we see Bruxism (teeth grinding) it is usually relating to some kind of stress in a child's life. You can try incorporating some down time before bed or relaxation time w/tummy massage or diffuser w/essential oil in your daughter's bedroom to help ease her to sleep and help her stop grinding her teeth. Another thing that can ease teeth grinding is a good distractor such as a doll or something they can hold or play with like a nubby ball. Something with texture tends to calm children down. Check diet and look at constipation issues or stomach issues. When children are prone to digestive issues or are not getting enough fluids, they can have teeth grinding issues. There are a great deal of other factors that can cause teeth grinding. Be sure to get her checked out by her dentist as well. READ MORE

With nerve support, specific exercises to release muscle tension and supplementation can all help w/relieving the discomfort. I would recommend either seeing an osteopathic physician or naturopathic physician in your area that specializes in physical medicine. READ MORE
