  • I Beat A Late Stage Cancer, So Can You!

    In late March of 2003, I was lying in a large, cavernous chemo room in Michigan. As 10 million units of interferon coursed into me, I could feel myself going into the abyss. Even though I was in this dream state, I can remember my oncologist whispering in my ear, ”Mark. why are you going all...

  • Cancer/You Are The Lifeline

    The old notion of the all-knowing doctor and the passive patient still works some of the time. But if you are facing a malignancy, there’s a good chance that the outcome might not be optimal. Not because doctors aren’t trying, but because cancer is one of the most complex, sly, sophisticated...

  • Can food poisoning be treated at home?

    Dear Patient, Food poisoning is a generic term that includes a plethora of possibilities as far as differential diagnosis. The symptoms might be mild or severe. The organs involved may include one or many. That said, any significant symptoms must be dealt with by medical professionals. This may be done by phone, telemedicine or an office or medical center. Most of the time, if a patient is looked at and sent home, the symptoms can be managed by the patient and or family. There are a number of medicinal foods and modalities that may be used once a diagnosis has been made. READ MORE

  • I have a typical sinus allergy. How can naturopathy help?

    Dear patient, I would say each patient is different and needs to be treated that way. Therefore, you need some kind of traditional workup including a back scratch test or serum test to discern what you are allergic to and how severe the response is. Also, any medications and medical diagnosis has to be taken into account. Yes, there are a number of natural modalities that might help including Frankincense oil, Eucalyptus oil, and Quercetin that you could try along with following up with a naturopath.  I hope this helps. Best, READ MORE

  • Can naturopathic medicine help with depression?

    Dear patient, There are many causes and reasons for depression and also many different types. It is a very serious condition that must be taken seriously. Therefore, patients deserve a complete medical workup that includes possible thyroid issues along with ruling out metabolic, cardiac, immune, neurological, and hematological disorders. Moreover, there are blood tests that can discern if you are low on certain neurotransmitters. Following this, if your depression is mild, then yes, naturopathic medicine could possibly help you along with exercise and therapy. Your diet is also crucial in helping you to abate your depressive symptoms. READ MORE

  • Can naturopathy help in preventing diabetes in a person?

    Genetics are a part of what you are talking about, but the larger question is, are you as an individual going to take charge of your life and health status? Many patients have been conditioned to give their power away and rely on so-called "authorities" to address their medical and emotional issues. Many of the patients that I see in our clinic research the symptoms and issues they are going through, whether it is catastrophic illness or high blood sugars. They get multiple opinions, seek out integrative clinicians, and go forward with in-depth research looking for answers. Two wonderful books I recommend would be The End of Diabetes by Dr. J. Fuhrman and The Pre-Diabetes Diet Plan by Hilliary Wright. This is the way I put myself into remission from a grave prognosis with cancer all over my liver and lungs. Good luck! READ MORE

  • Lab tests

    Each patient's needs are different. Some patients might need more testing than others. The majority of these tests are non-invasive. As far as hormones, again, each case is different. And yes, hormones are important. READ MORE

  • Are there any natural treatments to treat anxiety?

    Be cautious about anything natural, if you are on any psychiatric medications. The Life-Extension Foundation has some good data and a textbook on this topic. Again, each patient's needs and medical issues are different than their friends and families. READ MORE

  • What are precautions to take for a 14-day only water fasting?

    Unwise for a number of reasons. Especially if the person has any significant health issues! READ MORE
