Dr. Anderson’s goal is to assist individuals and families
seeking optimal heath, as well as assisting those individuals with
acute and chronic illnesses. She does this through periodic health
exams, laboratory testing, and designing treatment plans specific
to the individual and their body’s needs using naturopathic
modalities. When needed, patients are referred to specialists according
to their health care needs. Back to Top
Many of the chronic health problems affecting people today are the
result of poor diet and lifestyle choices. The foods a person
chooses to eat can affect health negatively and lead to the development
of illnesses such as heart disease, diabetes, cancer, digestive
problems, and obesity. Lifestyle choices, which include stressful
jobs, use of alcohol/drugs, lack of exercise, isolation, etc can
lead to the development of addiction, chronic fatigue, greater
susceptibility to diseases, etc. Dr. Anderson helps patients assess
their diet and lifestyle choices, then makes suggestions regarding
potential changes. Patients are supported and counseled through
the process. Back to Top
Our earth environment is no longer pristine after years of toxic pollution. These
toxic exposures can lead to acute and chronic illness which must be diagnosed
and treated before health can return.
Environment is both internal and external. Sources
of toxic exposure include the food we eat, air we breathe, water
we drink, medications we take. Our daily environment may also be
conducive to increasing toxicity due to: noise, harsh lighting,
stress, electronic machine fumes, and non-ergonimic work areas to
name a few. Individuals can be affected by one or both environments.
Diagnostic tests can be performed at the clinic to determine a patient’s
toxic load, and then a customized treatment plan will be designed
for detoxification. Back to Top
The theory of biotherapeutic drainage was developed in the 1900’s by
doctors Antione Nebel, Leon Vannier, and André Rouy. It is a method
of cellular detoxification that cures chronic disease states. To accomplish
Biotherapeutic drainage, the practitioner uses Unda numbers which are compounded
homeopathic remedies. These numbers were developed in France over 50 years
ago by a man named Georges Discri. Unda numbers are carefully constructed combinations
of low potency homeopathic remedies that are prescribed according to an assessment
of organ systems not just signs and symptoms. Unda numbers are prepared like
classical homeopathic remedies and are made from plants and minerals in an
alcohol base. These remedies are extremely safe and non-toxic but immensely
potent. They help clear out the toxins in the body and are able to help virtually
all disease states and imbalances in the body. The plant remedies in the Unda
compounds have an affinity for organs or organ systems and the minerals have
an affect on the way our cells carry out chemical reactions. Together they
act as an energetic stimulus to help our cells work more effectively and to
eliminate waste products and toxins from our bodies.
The practice of classical homeopathy is based
on discovering an analogy between the collection of signs and symptoms
shown by the patient; and the collection of signs and symptoms that
are noticed during the experimental administration of strong doses
of a substance to a healthy person. Toxins come from the environment
and cellular metabolism. Poor nutrition, inadequate water intake,
and stress affect our body’s ability to process toxins. Toxicity
can occur if our bodies are not able to eliminate the toxins effectively.
Primary routes of elimination are through the liver, kidney, intestines,
and lungs. When these primary routes do not function properly secondary
routes of elimination are established for this purpose, they include
the skin and mucous membranes of the sinus passages and vaginal
tract in women. The body’s ability to properly eliminate and
drain toxins plays an enormous part in determining the status of
health and wellbeing. Health may be restored when our body is able
to rid itself of toxins that naturally accumulate in the cells.
Diagnostic tests can be performed at the clinic
to determine if biotherapeutic drainage
would be a course of action to benefit a patient and then a customized treatment
plan would be designed. Back to Top
To check blood counts, liver function, kidney function, blood
sugar regulation, cholesterol and fats, thyroid function, and
more, blood and urine samples will be procured from the patient
during a routine visit and sent to the laboratory for results.
The Adrenal Glands produce hormones that help our bodies deal with
stress. If the adrenals are not functioning properly, a person
can experience many symptoms including: weight gain or loss, fatigue,
depression, blood sugar regulation problems, muscle or joint pain,
blood pressure regulation problems, sleep disturbances, poor concentration,
and menstrual disorders. A salivary test is run on patients complaining
of such symptoms.
There is a 95% probability that people may be eating one or more
foods toxic to their system. A simple blood test can reveal the
source of many physical problems caused by foods. The following
is a list of some symptoms caused by food allergies. Symptom
