How are Naturopathic Doctors different from MDs?
Like Medical Doctors, Naturopathic Doctors are trained extensively in clinical sciences and diagnostics. The primary difference is that Naturopathy focuses on the whole person, and seeks to identify and treat the underlying imbalances, rather than addressing health issues in isolation. Most importantly, Naturopathic Doctors treat health conditions with safe and effective natural therapies that the body can process easily. Pharmaceutical drugs and surgery are recommended when needed, and often they can be prevented and/or worked in conjunction with supportive natural medicines to speed your healing.
