It is a well known fact that prevention is best. However, in the course of our busy lives our health often gets put on the back burner. Often common diseases such as Diabetes, Gastrointestinal issues, and Obesity are allowed to progress to more complicated problems because the western medical model does not have access to the resources that natural medicine can provide. We have often heard the old adage “the cure is worse than the disease”. Many people find themselves getting better for a short time and then look back over a longer period and realize that their health has been slowly deteriorating despite vigilant following of doctors’ orders.
Naturopathic medicine does not cover up symptoms. The body is a miraculous thing. It tells us when something is wrong. If we fix the problem then the symptom goes away. If we cover up the symptom the problem WILL get worse! Sometimes it is necessary to palliate symptoms to get you through the day. But rest assured our doctors will get to the root of the problem and work hard to fix it.
