Welcome
As I see it, every day you do one of two things: build health or produce disease in yourself. Adelle Davis
Our goal is to help you to understand health problems and to find treatments that address the cause of your health problems, and not merely treat symptoms. An informed patient is easier to treat. Understanding nutrition and physiology can help you to stay healthy. It is our desire to help you in your informed quest for good health.
We are concerned about your health whether or not you decide to come into the office as a patient. The original meaning of the word doctor was teacher. With that in mind, this site provides you with hundreds of articles about health and healing. Use the search engine on your left to find articles on various health topics.
