Our society is experiencing a sharp increase in the number of people who suffer from complex, chronic diseases, such as diabetes, heart disease, cancer, mental illness, and autoimmune disorders like rheumatoid arthritis. The system of medicine practiced by most physicians is oriented toward acute care, the diagnosis and treatment of trauma or illness that is of short duration and in need of urgent care, such as a heart attack or a broken leg. Physicians apply specific, prescribed treatments such as drugs or surgery that aim to treat the immediate problem or symptom. Western Medicine made huge strides forward 100+ years ago when funding from large foundations was switched to exclusively supporting that form of medical education. At the time, the predominant type of illnesses were infectious diseases, which responded very well to silver bullet intervention.

Unfortunately, the acute-care approach to medicine is ill-equipped to address complex, chronic diseases. In most cases, the model does not take into account the unique genetic makeup of each individual and does not allow time for exploring the aspects of today’s lifestyle that have a direct influence on the rise in chronic disease in modern Western society; critical environmental factors such as stress, diet, and exposure to toxins. As a naturopathic physician practicing in BC, Dr. Heald is authorized to prescribe pharmaceuticals as needed while addressing lifestyle factors.

Functional Medicine is a different approach, with methodology and tools specifically designed to prevent and treat chronic diseases. By shifting the traditional disease-centred focus of medical practice to a more patient-centred approach, Functional Medicine addresses the whole person, not just an isolated set of symptoms. Functional Medicine practitioners spend time with their patients, listening to their histories and looking at the interactions among genetic, environmental, and lifestyle factors that can influence long-term health and complex, chronic disease. In this way, Functional Medicine supports the unique expression of health and vitality for each individual. It switches the balance of responsibility for wellness from the provider of care to the beneficiary (you, the patient!).

Naturopathic Medicine begins with a scientific approach to understanding the human body and employs the body’s inert ability to heal itself using medicines found in nature to initiate the process.

Primum non nocere | First, do no harm

This is part of an oath that all doctors take. Having a solid understanding of the human body, dis-ease and in-depth knowledge of the proposed treatment is essential. Naturopathic Doctors must be educated at accredited Medical Schools (see www.cnme.org) and continue to study throughout their careers.

Vis Medicatrix Naturae | The healing power of nature

The human body is magical in its ability to regenerate. The cause of illness or obstacle to cure must be determined and removed. During the healing process, natural substances such as vitamins, minerals and herbs are used to correct imbalances.

Tollem causum | Treat the underlying cause

Treating symptoms is necessary to provide comfort, but without addressing the cause, the disease process will continue and manifest in another way. Turning up the volume on the radio only masks the rattle in the engine for so long.

Tollem totale | Treat the whole person

Physical symptoms can be aggravated or caused by social or emotional stresses, and emotional upset can have very physical causes. To obtain wellness, consideration must be given to all components of an individual.

Docere | Teacher

The Latin derivation of doctor translates to teacher. Giving a person an understanding of illness and wellness empowers them to make the changes necessary to live healthfully.

Reconnection Therapy is rooted in somatic counselling and is about allowing your truth and experience to be witnessed. Foundations are placed between the therapist and client, to create a grounded, safe, honoring, and supported relationship. You are the author of your life, and in that, you are also the one who knows the ways through it. I will ask questions, I may lead visualizations/meditations, and... these are all from a place rooted in trust of You, and that what you need to move forward, heal etc. is within you. Sometimes as humans, we need support, questions, guidance, offerings of perspective... and when it comes down to it, being witnessed, and seen, and honoured, often has the potential to spontaneously unfurl and unfold more of self. And when/where hooks, pain, trauma, confusion etc. arise, an array of support gets intuitively woven between you and the therapist, to free the stuck/blocked energy, and allow the knowings, learnings, and gifts that surface, to flow into your life, and be (re)integrated into who You are. Techniques such as Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Emotional Release Therapy (ERT), Flower Essence Therapy (FET), Aromatherapy, Herbal Medicine, Self Retrieval... may be used along the way. Being truly seen is one of the most precious gifts and experiences as a human.

May you be graced with that opportunity, in both the witness and in the witnessing.

Astrology is the study of the correlation between celestial objects and earthly events.

True Darkfield microscopy is one of the most technically demanding applications, but surely the most rewarding in light of the information, which is acquired.

Live and Dryn Blood Cell Evaluation is a look into the universe that exists within every cell of your body. It tells the story.

Live Blood Analysis using Darkfield microscopy reveals the consistencies and inconsistencies, micro-organisms that lurk in the plasma, a compromised digestive system, an overworked liver or poor circulation. It confirms the existence of inflammation within the body therefore validating your aches and pains, and list of uncomfortable and nagging symptoms, however small. Protein absorption and vitamin/mineral deficiencies are evident by the shapes of blood cells and the integrity of cell walls. Just like in a swimming pool, if the pH is out of balance, you end up with a very unhealthy environment.
