Why is the holistic approach to medicine effective?

At the turn of the century the three leading causes of death were tuberculosis, smallpox and influenza — each caused by a single infectious agent. Today, the three leading causes of death are heart disease, cancer and stroke — multifactorial diseases of civilization. This means that the toxins infiltrating our diets, environment and even our societal roles, cumulatively drive us away from our normal state of wellness.
To help achieve this natural state of wellness an approach must incorporate attention to all three aspects of a person’s life.

Starting with the body, we look to proper nutrition and supplementation as a foundation to health. Less toxic and more nutritious and unadulterated foods play a vital role. Reversing and eradicating damaging medical conditions are also addressed.
As a result of toxins, hormonal and nutritional deficiencies, life stressors and genetics, imbalances occur that produce symptoms of depression, fatigue and other mood disorders. Using a team approach consisting of a mental health counselor, our nutritionist, a homeopath, and physician, the mind is gently eased back to its previous state of good health, typically without medications.

Having a spiritual connection and feeling “a part of,” with a purpose in life, has been shown to be the single most important factor in determining longevity! If you know that you have a path in life and are needed, it creates an anchor of health. By taking an accurate and lengthy history of prior and current endeavors, the spiritual direction of the patient becomes apparent.

Our guiding philosophy is that multiple factors, affecting multiple aspects of life, require multiple approaches for optimal results. With this in mind we can make tremendous progress towards your wellness.
