Our Philosophy
What Integrated Functional Healthcare is:
1). It is a drugless health practice.
2). Its perspective is from an optimum health model rather than a disease model. Therefore, health is defined as having positive vitality, not just the absence of disease.
3). It emphasizes each person as genetically and biochemically unique. Therefore, it is client-centered rather than disease-centered.
4). It maximizes organ reserve and health span.
5). It recognizes the web of interaction between genes and environmental conditions as influences to physiological functions. Nutrition, nutrients, activity pattern, chronic infection, radiation, life-style decisions, stress related responses, and environmental perturbations are important biological response modifiers that can alter gene expression and biological aging process.
6). Quality natural food strategy, nutritional supplementation, detoxification, immune support, hydrotherapy, exercise, pure water, sunshine, proper rest, positive stress response are some of the modalities that it uses to maintain or bring about health. Non-invasive laboratory testing and simple home testing are employed when necessary. If appropriate, the practitioner will refer clients to other branches of medical science for diagnosis or treatment, such as M.D., colonic and/or massage therapist, acupuncturist, chiropractor, holistic dentist, etc.
The Principles of Naturopathic Health We Employ
1. First do no harm: We use non-invasive modalities that minimize the risks of harmful side effects.
2. Find the cause: Every illness has an underlying cause which can often be found in certain aspects of your lifestyle, environment, or selection of foods. We are trained to help you remove the underlying cause of poor health, and then work towards replacing it with good health.
3. The healing power of nature: We try to design programs to help you restore and support your body's natural and inherent healing systems so that they are in harmony with natural processes of healthy functions.
4. Treat the whole person: Our approach will take into account the interaction of physical, emotional, dietary, genetic, environmental, life-style, and other factors of the client.
5. Education: In Latin, "doctor" means "to teach". We take an active role in educating clients and providing them resources to learn.
6. Prevention: True prevention entails making changes in the way our culture lives. We emphasize the principles of healthy and responsible living.
