An essential principal of Naturopathic medicine is the "healing power of nature"(Vis Medicatrix Naturae). This concept forms the foundation of my belief and approach to medicine. While I treat a wide variety of chronic degenerative diseases, cancer is a passion and important focus of my practice. As such I was a professor of Oncology at Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine, where I instructed 4th year Naturopathic medical students. I also served on the board of directors for the "Oncology Association of Naturopathic Physicians" (OncANP). I was a past Vice President and chair of research for this specialty organization.

I take an evidence based approach to the treatments I utilize. There are a huge number of "natural treatments" on the Internet and in the case of cancer, "natural cures" are heavily marketed. Unfortunately, the vast majority of these "cures" lack any objective evidence for effectiveness.

On the other hand there are legitimate natural therapies with substantial research demonstrating significant benefits for cancer and many chronic degenerative diseases. My job and expertise is to guide my patients to the most effective and proven natural therapies.
