Many Patients Benefit From Treatments By Richmond Hill Naturopath

By Karina Frost


They say Hippocrates was the very first true naturopath and he taught that healing should NEVER harm. Unfortunately, modern medical practices took a totally different course from what Hippocrates preached. It became more specialized and money-driven than ever. Especially the pharmaceutical industry seems to be more focused on its profit margins from long-term prescription drugs than finding and advocating more natural ways to prevent and cure illnesses by boosting the body's own healing powers.

Thankfully, there are other options available to people who prefer a more natural, holistic approach that poses no harmful or even fatal side-effects. Many patients benefit and are cured permanently by the comprehensive and integrative naturopathic treatments offered by highly qualified practitioners such as Richmond Hill Naturopath, Dr Gabriella Chow. Naturopathic Medicine offers a combination of the latest scientific knowledge and natural forms of medicine to diagnose, treat and prevent illnesses by focusing on the core of the problem. Where conventional medicine are mostly aimed at "managing" the symptoms of a disease, naturopathy focuses on finding and fixing the underlying cause of the problem to restore the body's immune system to heal itself.

Dr Chow is also a member of the Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians and an expert in the treatment of so-called incurable diseases such as chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, as well as multiple chemical sensitivity. In many cases where patients are sensitive to the chemical substances in conventional medicine and/or surgery, naturopathy offers more effective cures with none of the side-effects. Dr Chow is also the author and/or co-author of several authentic publications and she also serves on many boards in the holistic health field.

Contrary to most conventional medical procedures, naturopathic treatments pose no health risk due to adverse side-effects from chemicals or invasive surgery. Combining conventional practices with naturopathic treatments helps to limit the worst side-effects of medication by boosting the body's own self-healing powers. The aim of naturopathy is always to identify and rectify the blockages that impair the body's immune system in the least invasive and harmful ways.

Naturopathy is not only for sick people. A well-know quote by Hannah Green is that Health is not simply the absence of sickness. The ideal of a lifestyle based on naturopathic principles is to maintain good health and to reach optimum health, thereby preventing future health problems.

Contrary to popular belief, professional naturopaths have a more comprehensive and intensive educational background than most general practitioners. Their training includes a wide variety of specialized fields in conventional as well as holistic healing practices. Besides a university qualification, naturopaths also have to pass a four year program at a naturopathic medical school, as well as subsequent board examinations, to qualify for a practicing license.

Well-qualified and experienced naturopaths have a vast knowledge of so-called alternative healing practices. This includes Chinese medicine, homeopathy, botanical medicine as well as the latest diagnostic sciences and acupuncture. By using a combination of all proven healing techniques, the best and most applicable treatment procedure for each individual patient can be decided.

The body is an amazing machine with extraordinary self-healing abilities IF all the parts are in good working condition. No pill or medication on its own can fix a disease or imbalance if it does not go hand in hand with lifestyle and dietary adjustments. Naturopathy offers the safest and most comprehensive treatment plans to restore and optimize the immune system so that the body can heal and defend itself against most diseases.
