Naturopathic Medicine is a distinct primary health care profession, emphasizing prevention, treatment and optimal health through the use of therapeutic methods and substances which encourage the person's inherent self-healing process, the vis medicatrix naturae
Identify and Treat the Causes: Seeks to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than merely suppress symptoms.
First Do No Harm: Utilizes methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects by using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat.
Doctor as Teacher: Educates patients and encourages self-responsibility for health.
Treat the Whole Person: Accounts for individual physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors. Also encourages individuals to pursue their personal spiritual development.
Prevention: Works in partnership with patients to assess risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease to preserve health and prevent illness.
Furthermore, Dr David gave my family a regime to follow to prevent the flu, most particularly this year with the swine flu. We had a new born at home, one toddler and one preschooler so we were particularly
concerned. My daughter, who still puts everything in her mouth at three, did not get the flu while 10 of the other kids in her class all came down with it, (there is only 13 kids in the class). None of us
got the flu, we are amazed.
I did not understand homeopathy before I saw Dr David. Now, I can not recommend her enough." See more

Testimonial:
"I first went to see Dr. David when I was diagnosed with gestational diabetes. I had a three year old daughter, a two year old son and I was seven months pregnant with my third child. While I ate healthy
before I was diagnosed, I clearly needed a different kind of diet to manage my insulin levels. I was overwhelmed. Dr. David gave me a tincture to drink that helped me tremendously. I was able to control
the diabetes with diet. In fact while I still ate healthy I did not have to watch my diet so closely and my glucose levels still came in normal during my daily testing. I even cheated on the diet on rare occasions. My third baby boy was born healthy with no signs of affects from the diabetes. My insulin and glucose levels are now completely normal.
