  • Would you recommend naturopathy treatment for severe diabetes?

    Naturopathic treatments can be very beneficial for helping to stabilize blood sugar. It's important to have a professional work closely with you to monitor, as sometimes the need for medications reduces. For example, if someone doesn't need as much insulin and the dosage isn't changed, the insulin can lower blood sugar too much. To optimize the benefits of naturopathic treatments, you'd also want your mom to be a willing participant. Is she willing to modify her diet or lifestyle as a start? READ MORE

  • Neuropathy

    It's difficult to know without examining you but yes it is possible that the peripheral neuropathy and constipation are related. One possibility is that both are linked to spinal misalignment and nerve impingement, which could be corrected with proper treatment. You may also be deficient in a mineral such as magnesium that could contribute to both. It would be best for you to be evaluated more thoroughly to understand the underlying causes of these concerns.

  • Are there any natural methods to fix ear infections?

    Yes. Depending on the ear infection, there are several natural methods. If there is not too much of a fluid build up, a localized garlic oil treatment can be effective. There are also homeopathic remedies, herbal remedies and hydrotherapy treatments that can be used but I would not recommend self-treating without specific guidance from a trained professional.
