Irritable Bowel SyndromeDegenerative illnesses like Irritable Bowel Syndrome have been called incurable but naturopathic medicine offers hope. Naturopathic medicine looks beyond symptoms to offer a restorative protocol. Digestive health is vital to overall wellbeing. The digestive system houses about 70% of the immune system's cells. Digestive health is critical for organs and tissue to function properly. Restoring health to an unhealthy digestive system can permanently resolve a lot of health issues for many people including chronic conditions like Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS), sinus problems and food allergies. Debilitating Chronic IllnessNaturopathic care of debilitating chronic illness is discussed in this video. Chronic diseases are usually autoimmune conditions such as MS - Multiple Scleroses, RA - Rheumatoid Arthritis, Wegener's Granulomatosis. These conditions can relapse and remit; the condition does not go away, but an individual may experience varying degrees of discomfort. Treatment of chronic illness is usually palliative, that is, the condition, pain and discomfort are treated while trying to decelerate the disease process. Symptoms are often treated rather than the condition. One patient's experience with naturopathic care is featured in this video. The patient was suffering from inflammation of the small and medium blood vessels. The inflammation was treated but her GI health was also treated. Chemotherapy could have been used to slow the progression of the disease but the patient was reluctant to undergo chemo due to side effects including hair loss. Naturopathic treatment looks to support body functions, cells and joints. As a result of her naturopathic treatment, this patient went from being unable to get out of bed to a life with much reduced pain and symptoms, avoiding cytoxan chemotherapy.

In the past, infectious disease was the major health threat but now the modern lifestyle is a threat to our health. Chronic diseases like diabetes, heart disease, cancer, stroke, arthritis, stomach and gastrointestinal diseases are now more of a concern than acute diseases. 80% of the chronic conditions are preventable through diet; what we eat is leading to an epidemic. The level of neurotoxins in the body can lead to such conditions as Parkinson's Disease. Conventional medicine attempts to control symptoms and complications with drugs. A naturopathic doctor will look for the underlying cause of a condition. A body in balance is capable of healing itself. The simplest, non-invasive techniques are explored first; a ladder of intervention or therapeutic order is deployed. Nutritional counseling can lead to a life without medications.
