WHAT IS A NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR?
A naturopathic doctor practices a form of medicine that has been practiced for at least
3,500 years, that is 100% drugless and completely natural. A naturopath uses no chemotherapy,
radiation, immunization shots, pharmaceutical prescriptions, or surgery.
At the turn of the century, half the medical schools in the country were naturopathic. In 1920
New Jersey itself had three naturopathic medical schools. Today we have only four such
schools in the whole country that offer a four year postgraduate program commencing in a
doctorate in naturopathic medicine.
Much of the practice of naturopathic medicine (natural medicine) is much simpler than alleopathic medicine, it acknowledges that there are 26,000 known conditions, but only a few common denominations. We believe that the common denominator of all disease is toxicity.
A naturopathic doctor is the best trained professional in the world in detoxification. He evaluates for levels of toxicity, the cause, which organs are being affected, and to effectively correct the cause using natural modalities.
In naturopathic medicine we believe that the root cause of every disease is toxicity. Being true to that principle we do not believe in drugging or suppressing a symptom. We seek to get to the root cause of a condition and correct the cause rather than cover it over, only for it to reappear again in the form of a new symptom, or new disease.
It is not that a naturopathic doctor is not concerned about symptoms, its just that he looks at symptoms from an entirely different perspective.
A naturopathic doctor looks at every symptom as a sign of a potential nutritional deficiency.
A well trained naturopathic doctor is able to map out a detailed nutritional program just off the symptoms alone. Symptoms are important in the analysis process because they point us to deeper conditions and often to the root cause of a disease.
When you talk to a naturopathic doctor about a symptom, unlike the medical doctor, who has been trained to give you a drug to relieve (suppress/poison) the symptom, the naturopath is thinking of your deficiencies and what natural food medicines, vitamins, and nutritional therapy you may require.
Because symptoms are so important to the naturopathic evaluation process, at Abunda Life we ask you to grade yourself on over 2,000 different possible symptoms in a series of written tests. A medical doctor would consider many of these symptoms insignificant. We believe they are all very important because they reveal potential patterns and help us catch conditions long before they become named medical conditions.
A medical doctor’s primary training is to fight disease and save lives. A naturopathic doctor’s primary training is to prevent disease and enhance lives. Like it or not both professions compliment each other, because there will always be people unwilling to live by sensible and healthful principles, therefore there will always be a need for medical doctors.
As long as we have thinking people who desire to be healthier, stronger and better and are willing to take some responsibility upon themselves, we will always have a need for naturopathic doctors.
Naturopathic medicine is not for everyone. Especially not for the unaware, unthinking masses, because it requires more than taking a quick pill. Naturopathy is an entire way of life, A naturopathic doctor is an individual who believes and practices naturopathic principles. It’s a way of life that has worked so well personally that they teach its principles to others.
A naturopathic doctor is a teacher. The original word “doctor”, if you look it up in a dictionary, means teacher. What does the naturopathic/doctor teach? Timeless health principles as they may apply to each individual case.
A naturopath is much more than a finder/fixer doctor. Those seeking the services
of a doctor of naturopathic medicine learns much about themselves. What was the
cause of their particular condition, what to do about it, how to correct, and most
importantly how to prevent other such conditions from reoccurring.
In short: A naturopathic doctor is a drugless doctor. A natural doctor. A nature doctor who works with the
body’s own natural immune system, rather than against it.
A naturopathic doctor first does a nutritional and lifestyle evaluation on an individual, and based on these findings, makes recommendations that could include: lifestyle alterations, dietary programming, naturopathic detoxification, natural modalities, fitness medicine, stress management, and nutritional therapy.
Naturopathic doctors have a long and rich history. It is at least as old as alleopathic medicine. It goes back to the Levitical priesthood of ancient Israel. Naturopathics were the first holistic practitioners.
HOW AND WHY DOES NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE WORK?Naturopathic medicine is predicated on some basic principles that go back thousands of years in time.
We believe that our Creator designed the human body to heal itself. At one time all health practitioners worked with the principle of the “innate” which is the body’s life force or natural healing mechanism or life energy that automatically redirects itself towards the design pattern of its Creator which is health. We believe that high level health and wellness is natural - the intent of our Creator. We believe that disease or absence of ease is unnatural.
Naturopathic doctors work with this natural healing force designed by our Creator. Everything we do assists, but never intervenes in the natural healing process, unlike drug medicine.
Alleopathic medicine, in the last few generations, has begun to tamper with the body’s own natural healing and restorative process by intervening with the use of heavy pharmaceuticals. It’s almost like they are saying that they are smarter than God who designed the human body.
We are beginning to pay the price for such intervention with the myriad of new
immunological diseases that are drug resistant. People have recently been catching
on to the fact that every known drug is an immune suppressor. Drugs that the great
masses have taken for quick relief have come back to haunt them with many long term deleterious effects. Often the drug causes more harm than the condition it was designed to treat.
What is so commonly and kindly called “side effects” is in reality the accumulative poisoning effect of drugs which over time eventually wipe out the immune system. Drugs are at the root cause of many of our modern day killer diseases.
In short: Many of our new diseases are the direct and/or indirect result of the drugs that have been taken for months, years and even decades.
In naturopathic medicine we do not believe in suppressing/drugging a symptom.
We call that tomfoolery medicine because the root cause of a symptom usually goes
much deeper. We believe that until we uncover the cause we can never be truly well.
In naturopathic medicine we do not treat disease, we treat the individual. Too often
medical doctors treat a disease by drugging/suppressing a symptom only for it to reappear in the form of another symptom, which is quickly given another name and another corresponding drug which further compromises the body’s immune system. With some people the game never ends.
We must keep foremost in mind that drugs do not heal. Drugs only suppress symptoms. God designed the body to heal itself. This demands a healthy, unincumbered, undrugged immune system. There is no other way, there is no other healing, unless and until the body is nutritionally sound and is able to heal itself. If the body does not heal itself, it is not healed. Drugs do not heal. At best they can only give temporary relief of symptoms. True healing is an inside job.
Building health is a lifetime process that depends on many multifaceted factors. Detoxification and nutrition being foundational to that process.
It is impossible to drug yourself into health. No matter how many drugs you take it will not happen. Drugs compromise your life force and eventually reduce your level of health Detoxification and nutrition is foundational to naturopathic medicine because all natural healing modalities are contingent on nutritional
soundness at cell level.
Naturopathic medicine is so effective because it is based on immutable laws, principles, and practices of health that have been put into motion at creation.
We are created from the dust of the ground. This means the minerals and essential nutrients of the earth. Our health and well being are dependent on the quality of our nutrition. Disease begins with deficiency. A nutritionally sound body is a healthy body capable of resisting and overcoming disease and restoring health.
AT
LAST, YOU HAVE A CHOICE.
THE DRUG DOCTOR OR THE NUTRITION DOCTOR
Thinking men and women have come to the conclusion that in order to get a true second opinion one has
to go to a different type doctor.
Now you have that choice. You can, in addition to any medical care that you may require, get a complete nutritional check up also. In fact many open minded medical doctors have been recommending exactly that.
Naturopathic doctors may have a different opinion than most orthodox medical doctors. They should because they think differently, and they have been trained differently. They of course do not replace medical doctors, but rather compliment them.
Our medical profession is the best trained in the world. We will always need dedicated medical doctors. It would be ill advised to go to a naturopathic doctor during a sudden heart attack, crippling stroke, serious accident, medical crisis, or an emergency. There is an old Saxon proverb “There is a time and place for everything under the sun.” Wise individuals understand there is a time for alleopathic medicine and there is a time for naturopathic medicine.
Our nation is fast becoming aware of the fact that many of our health care needs could be better served with nutritional therapy and lifestyle changes, than with drugs, drugs, and more drugs. In fact, even when medical/drug treatment is indicated, the therapy can be complemented greatly with proper nutritional care.
INFORMED CONSENT DISCLOSURE AND OPINIONS
The opinions of this publication may differ greatly from those of your family physician, the American medical Association and orthodox alleopathic medicine. You need to know this and the reasons why.
The author, Robert H. Sorge, N.D., Ph.D., although highly qualified in his narrow field of expertise, and in private practice since 1964, is not a medical doctor, nor is he licensed by the State of New Jersey. His training, experience, and philosophy is different, therefor his opinions will often reflect those differences.
The author respects medical science and its accomplishments, but does not agree with a
number of its basic presuppositions, theories, and premises. He believes all scientific
progress is the result of differences of opinion that challenge the status quo. The author is a
doctor of naturopathic medicine. His opinions will often be contrary to alleopathic medicine,
which is an entirely different school of thought.
King Solomon taught 3,500 years ago that “There is a time and place for everything under the sun.” The author believes there is a time for alleopathic medicine and a time for naturopathic medicine.
IF YOU’RE TIRED, WEAK, AILING-OR EVEN FEELING OKAY-HIDDEN TOXINS MAY BE DESTROYING YOUR HEALTH
How many times a day in America have establishment doctors said “There’s nothing wrong
with you, it’s all in your head” or “It’s your age” or “Your perfectly healthy. Let me write you a prescription
for a tranquillizer” or “The tests came back negative. We can’t find anything wrong with you!”?
Well look at the tests again doctor, because there is something wrong! Compare the tests not against
someone about to receive the last rites, but to someone who is toxin free, nutritionally sound , and
physically fit. And you will learn that most Americans are a nutritionally deficient garbage dump.
Too many people are walking around not sick enough to be rushed to the hospital, or in need of a heart transplant,
or a gall bladder operation, or full spectrum antibiotics, but they are incredibly toxic and not well enough to live life
anywhere near their true potential.
The body of many Americans are literally disintegrating day by day, night by night right before their eyes because of
hidden toxic invaders, metabolic garbage accumulating inside their cells to the saturation point.
In naturopathic medicine we believe that toxicity is the common denominator of all disease. In alleopathic medicine there
are 26,000 different names for 26,000 different diseases. Toxicity is at the root and often the cause of every one of them.
Sick people are toxic people. Dying people are very toxic people. It’s all a matter of degree.
The giant food processing companies, drug manufacturers, and the medical establishment don’t want you to know or
even think about toxins because of the newly discovered dangers to your health that they can cause.
Many chronic pains, diseases, depression, mental and physical fatigue are linked directly to invisible toxins, dangerous
chemicals, and heavy metals. These toxins invade our body and set up an environment for pathogenic organisms to thrive.
The masters of deceit wants you to think that you are defenseless against germs so that they can keep you helplessly
hooked on patented drug medicines, rather than reduce toxicity.
Most Americans have been conditioned by the medical/drug establishment, the press, and the government school system
to believe that when drug medicine kills the microbiological they kill the disease. Some of us were brought up to believe in
the propaganda “better living through chemistry.”
The truth is that until we get down at the cause, the same disease or even a worse disease will continue to return.
Drug medicine is like putting out the fire while letting the arsonist run wild.
Toxins compromise your immune system when left unchecked. They can break down your body’s defenses
entirely and lead to many dangerous health problems and eventually degenerative disease and death.
Chances are slim that your doctor will tell you that toxins may be at the root of your health problems. He’s trained to drug
your system with more toxins not rid the your body of them. Your doctor may not even know about toxins, or what to
do about them.
Most people don’t realize that powerful chemical toxins are poisoning their body’s at home and at work. For example.
Asbestos, like hundreds of other toxic substances, in older buildings can damage your cells, making them look like a
porcupine under a microscope. Pesticides in food, and aluminum in cooking have been linked to breast cancer.
Chemically laden paints and solvents can damage your central nervous system, your liver, and even your heart.
Corrosives in air conditioning units can cause asthma and bronchitis. Aspartame in our food can cause Alzheimer's.
When we get sick Americans have been conditioned by the establishment to take drugs. Don’t be
fooled, the drugs and medications you are taking can make you sicker, and even kill you.
Practicing medicine correctly, doing things by the book, medical doctors kill 130,000 Americans
every year. Drugs are highly toxic substances. They are so powerful that they override the body’s
immune system. The term “side effect” is a soft term created by the pharmaceutical industry’s,
Madison Avenue boys, for poisoning effect. Every time you see or hear the words “side effect” think “poisoning effect.”
Most importantly drugs lock into the cells of the body and remain there. Drugs and toxic chemicals store in fat tissue.
Unlike food there is no getting out. At least not so easily. It’s the drugs and inoculations you took in the past that set
you up for the diseases of the future.
Toxicity, heavy metal exposure from things like mercury, lead, aluminum, cadmium, television, copper, amalgam, gas
fumes, and the air you breathe can overwhelm your immune system. Shockingly heavy metals are linked to numerous
health problems such as arthritis, ulcers, allergies, fatigue and headaches.
Chronic air pollutants pose an almost inescapable health threat. One in twenty deaths in large cities are linked to air
pollution and over seventy five million Americans are affected by sick building syndrome and indoor pollution at
home and at work.
More than 10,000 cases of bladder and rectal cancer each year are tied to trihalomethanes found in drinking water.
680,000 cases of high blood pressure are connected to contaminant, nitrates, bacteria, pesticides, radon, heavy
metals, and lead found in drinking water.
Toxic personal care products poise a hidden threat that few people think about. Believe it or not...colons, perfumes,
make up, hair spray, dyes, shampoos, and lotions can add to your storehouse of toxins.
The FDA lists over 2,800 food additives which are sulfur or tar based that are unnatural and toxic to our bodies.
Food manufacturers seem to care little about the dangerous effects of synthetic hormones, antibiotics, preservatives,
dyes, pesticides, sprays, and irradiation.
In the last few decades 40,000 toxic chemical substances have been added to our planet with no end in sight.
But as incredible as that may seem our toxic environment and our toxic planet are not our biggest problems. It’s not the
toxins from without, but the toxins from within our own bodies that poise the greatest threat to our national and
individual health.
It’s the toxins our own bodies produce as a result of the junk food, fast food, sugar food, devitalized
food, and enzyme depleted food that are playing havoc with our health. We are the most overstuffed,
undernourished nation on the face of the earth. We are slowly starving to death on a stomach filled with
foodless food.
Harmful toxins are produced by the endogenous metabolic waste materials. Putrefaction, and the
morbific by-products from the garbage we eat. Once the body’s elimination channels are overwhelmed,
the toxins back up and begin to reabsorb . Every cell of the body is affected. This process is called
autointoxication in naturopathic medicine.
As a general rule, toxins usually gravitate to the weakest glands and organs of the body. Those that
are genetically predisposed to illness.
The average American is a toxic garbage dump ready to explode and they don’t even know it. These
toxins are the root cause of most of our modern day degenerative diseases.
This toxic garbage dump didn’t develope overnight. A little bug didn’t bite us. Americans have done
it to themselves, slowly digging their own graves with their fork, spoons, and knives.
The taste buds of most Americans have become so perverted that they no longer recognize real food from God’s
good earth as food. Some people need to go on a long distilled water fast just to get their senses back. We as a
society have violated God’s temple with our junk food addiction.
What never ceases to amaze me is when patients ask “Why am I sick?” As if a demon did it to them. The question
that should really be asked after a diet analysis of the average American is “How is it possible that you are still alive?”
Inside the bloated bodies of most Americans is a toxic garbage dump ready to
explode. The lifetime by product of grease laden Whoppers, Big Macs, them golden fries,
McNuggets, finger lick’n good, gut gluing Wonder bread, bagels, white flour products,
Pizza Hut, liver destroying Budweiser the king of beers, and other alcoholic beverages, stomach and teeth destroying
“things go better with Coke”, white sugar products, pancreas debilitating Dunken Donuts, Baskin Robbins 31 flavors,
gall stone producing swine’s flesh, sandwich meats, deep fried saturated fat, brain sapping sugar snaps, shot from
guns sugar coated breakfast cereal, Tastee Kakes, nerve destroying aspartame and other sugar substitutes, adrenal
wrecking coffee, chocolate, and caffeine products, and heart disease to order by “the Pepsi generation!”
NUTRITIONAL TESTING AND PERSONAL HEALTH EVALUATION CAN HELP YOU GAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR LIFEIf your body is saturated with toxins or if any organ system of your body is working suboptimal, the nutritional testing process
will uncover it, get down at the root of your problem and determine exactly how to correct it. No longer do you have to wait until
the doctor says “cut em” or “call an ambulance.” Yes, you can do something positive to prevent disease. Naturopathic detoxification
is often indicated, especially if digestion and the gastrointestinal tract has been compromised by years of dietary improprieties.
Each person’s case is different if in fact naturopathic detoxification is indeed indicated. You will be put on a personal program
based on your test data and supervised through the process with periodic follow up tests to determine your progress.
WHICH
COMES FIRST?...
NATUROPATHIC DETOXIFICATION OR NUTRITIONAL TESTING?
The orthodox drug medical profession has 26,000 different names for 26,000 different diseases and almost as many
drugs to treat these diseases.
In naturopathic medicine we recognize a few basic causes to all known disease.1- Autointoxication (Toxicity)
2- Nutritional deficiency
3- Excess body fat weight
4- Inherent/congenital weaknesses
5- Structural/spinal subluxation
6- Stress and trauma
7- Negative mental attitude
8- Lack of exercise
9- Relationship disharmony
10- Spiritual life disorder
11- Overeating and/or junk food addiction
12- Iatrogenic (caused by drugs or medical treatment)
13 Alcohol, tobacco or drugs
14- PsychosomaticBecause toxicity and nutrition is basic to all the above causes of disease, they are the two areas that we specialize in.
The question that often comes up is “Which comes first naturopathic detoxification or nutritional therapy?
The basic rule in naturopathic medicine is “Nutrition can not work efficiently in a toxic body.” If it is confirmed in your
personal health evaluation process that you are toxic that is usually the place that we start. Nutritional therapy works
much more efficiently after the body’s cells are cleaned out by means of naturopathic detoxification.
Everyone is put on a personal program based around individual biochemistry which is determined by their test results.
Many people today are taking large amounts of vitamins and food supplements with little results because toxicity is affecting
their liver, digestive, circulatory and/or elimination systems.
As much as we believe in vitamins, nutracuticals and natural food supplements, if they are not working efficiently it is not
unusual for us to take you off supplements for a while, change your routine, put you on a supervised naturopathic detoxification
program for a while before putting you back on natural foods and food supplements.
Toxicity interferes with proper utilization of nutrition. This is an essential principle not understood by many alleopathic medical
doctors who have recently entered the field of nutrition without the benefit of naturopathic school training.
Toxicity is the common denominator of every known disease. Throwing nutrition at a disease will not work as effectively
as going through the proper steps of naturopathic detoxification.
In short: Nutrition does not work efficiently in a toxic body. To properly address this condition naturopathic detoxification
comes before any other treatment is considered. Detoxification should then be followed with nutritional therapy based on
individual biochemistry and other modalities as may be indicated by the patient’s test results.
PREVENT HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE NUTRITIONALY
Millions of Americans wait until their blood pressure goes through the roof or weakness, dizziness, arrhythmia, fatigue, or anxiety
sets in and then they go on blood pressure drugs.
These drugs often cause erratic heart beat, fast pulse, and craziness. When this happens a second drug is often prescribed to
slow down your heart. However, this drug often causes fluid retention, tissue bloating, edema, and weight gain. A third drug is
then prescribed to flush out the fluid which can cause kidney disorders, impotency, gout, diabetes, headache, dizziness,
depression, high cholesterol, hypoglycemia, fatigue, congestive heart disease and Alzheimer's.
Nutritional testing and personal health evaluation can set you up with a personal nutritional program based around your individual
biochemistry. Yes, you can prevent high blood pressure naturally.BANISH UNNECESSARY ARTHRITIS PAIN FOREVER
Most Americans foolishly try to mask aching joints, painful fingers, throbbing knees, creaking joints, piercing bone, muscle, and
connective tissue pain with drugs, drugs, and more drugs, but the condition never gets better.
It’s time we stop listening to the hog wash drug advertising. They are all the same. They promise quick relief, never correct the
cause, and they create more disease over time. Remember it is impossible to drug yourself into health.
Arthritis is a junk food, cooked food, fast food, devitalized food disease. Until we get down to the bottom line cause of this
disease and/or any other disease, we may temporarily suppress the symptoms with drugs, but we will never rid ourselves
of the disease. Nutritional testing is designed to get down to the cause.DIABETES CAN BE PREVENTED AND REVERSED!
Diabetes kills. It dramatically increases your likelihood of a sudden heart attack. It is the leading
cause of blindness and amputation in the U.S.A.
The tragedy is that the treatment of diabetes is fundamentally flawed and has not changed appreciably
in 60 years.
Today’s entire approach to diabetes is an almost neurotic fixation on lowering the blood sugar level
with insulin or oral drugs.
Incredibly the approach totally ignores the fact that most diabetic produce too much of their own insulin.
Only 10% of diabetics actually have reduced production of insulin. They’re called insulin dependent
(type one) diabetics, and will likely always need insulin replacement.
However 90% of diabetics have non-insulin (type 2) diabetes. Rather than insulin deficient, these
patients produce two to three times the normal level, but the insulin doesn’t work. Conventional medicine does not address these
realities because it has not yet caught up to our latest understanding of diabetes
as a wasting disease.
You see, diabetes means having elevated blood sugar level. Your body’s instinctive reaction is to try to clear all this excess glucose
from your blood. It accomplishes this by stimulating your kidneys to excrete large volumes of urine containing the glucose.
This is why thirst, excessive drinking of water, and frequent urination are classic symptoms of diabetes.
As a result of this process, diabetes causes massive excretion of glucose rich urine. It also triggers massive losses of nutrients
you need for maintaining vibrant health.
The lost of essential nutrients is perhaps the primary reason for the deterioration of your eyes, kidneys, peripheral nerves, and
blood vessels that so often occurs with diabetes.
In other words, these same complications would result from any condition that causes such massive nutritional depletion.
Nutritional testing can help you prevent diabetes by detecting metabolic irregularities, blood and urine chemistry abnormalities,
and nutritional deficiencies far in advance of diabetes. It takes 10 to 20 years to develop most diabetes. Most cases of diabetes
can be prevented.PREVENT SUDDEN HEART ATTACK AND CRIPPLING STROKE NOW!
Your heart is the organ most responsive to nutritional therapy. Why allow yourself to become a cardiac invalid when
prevention makes so much sense?
Over 50 million Americans have recognized heart disease, but over 100 million more may be at high risk due to their diet, over
fat weight, lack of exercise, and multiple nutritional deficiencies without even knowing it.
The average American over the age of 40, early coronary artery blockage is almost a sure thing.
Many Americans are so physically unfit, over weight, and nutritionally unsound that they are a heart attack waiting to happen.
When do know that you have heart disease? 50% of those who suffer from a sudden heart attack will find out after the
first one. The other 50% will never know because half of the men and women who suffer from a heart attack will not live
to tell about it!
Fully 46% of those patients who went on to suffer a heart attack had normal angiograms.
They look for solutions after it’s too late. Angioplasty a high risk procedure that is often unsuccessful; Heart transplant;
Triple or quad bypass surgery, and finally funeral arrangements.
We believe the time to fight heart disease is at the early nutritional deficiency stage, because faulty nutrition is the core
of most heart disease.
Nutritional testing makes sense because it detects cardiovascular bio-matter in your blood report long before heart
disease is suspected.
SLAM THE BRAKES ON MENTAL AND PHYSICAL FATIGUE FOREVER
Say bye-bye to feeling run down, lethargic, old, and fatigued. Regain years of lost youth.
Redeem your lost vital energy. Boost a strong steady heartbeat and unleash the tiger within you.
The big drug companies, hospitals, the establishment media, and even many drug doctors don’t want you
to know about patient specific nutrition. You are not going to hear about it from them. They want to keep
you on junk foods, fast foods, devitalized foods, convenience foods, pharmaceuticals, synthetic so called
vitamins, prescription drugs, and drugs, drugs, and more drugs!
If you go to an establishment drug doctor complaining of fatigue, you’re in trouble. The medical establishment
has little clue about how you can overcome fatigue. What you usually hear is “We can’t find anything wrong with you. It must be
your age” or “The tests came back perfectly normal. It’s all in your head” or “Here’s a prescription (amphetamine_ to energize you”
or “You’re just depressed take this drug (prozac) to help you”
As tragic as it seems, millions of Americans are drugged intoexhaustion, fatigue, and disease by the very prescriptions that
are supposed to help them.
In naturopathic medicine we believe fatigue is not an end in itself, but a sign that you may be facing deeper problems. We view
fatigue as a symptom, not as a disease. We do not believe it is possible to drug the human body into health.
Down at the real cause of your fatigue, could be varied ranging from an amino acid deficiency, thyroid condition, malabsorption,
stress, hypoglycemia, allergies, constipation, hormonal imbalance, lack of oxygen, toxicity, liver sluggishness, or any number of
other reasons. Nutritional testing gets down at the cause and then addresses the cause with natural treatments whenever possible.
