Research indicates that low-level, every day exposure to air pollution, water pollution and even household chemicals has a cumulative, adverse affect on the body and has been linked, but not limited to asthma, migraines, Parkinson’s disease, heart disease, cancer and others. Over time, these pollutants accumulate in the body and can contribute to illness. One of the principles of Environmental Medicine is to reduce the total toxic load on the body, which results in the body’s ability to repair itself and correct disease.

First, we obtain an environmental history and may assess the blood and/or urine for toxins. We then offer environmental education to help you create a less toxic home and/or work environment so that your body can heal. This is fundamental in helping the body’s various organ systems repair and function optimally. We may also use nutrition, natural remedies and Osteopathy to support your body’s ability to eliminate toxins, further facilitating healing.

Environmental Medicine and environmental education can be used to support the healing of many health conditions including:

• ADHD/Attention Deficit Disorder/Learning Disabilities/Reading Comprehension
