This is a pivotal time for our nation. Our health is failing and we are living in a chronic disease state. People are becoming burdened with insurance costs and there is a growing shortage of providers. Patients are becoming challenged accessing primary care doctors and struggle with paying medical bills. This is extremely sad to me as a naturopathic doctor.
I know that naturopathic medicine is a solution to many of the nation’s healthcare challenges today. We as naturopathic doctors educate our patient’s on the importance of health including lifestyle choices, nutrition suggestions, and exercise options. We provide our patients with a package that works to heal the body and find the root of the cause. It is not just treating the symptoms but working deep into the body for healing.
For those of you just reading this blog, I am Dr. Donahue. It is part of my mission and path to help America and other nations to heal on many levels. With your support and desire, naturopathic medicine can grow and not be the last choice for healing. I understand that the state of our nation cannot continue in a diseased state to be successful. I also understand the challenges of beginning a new type of medicine that you may not understand and that changing ones lifestyle and nutrition can be extremely difficult. I am here to support you to be successful with healing. I promise to put my skills and knowledge to help you heal as a patient and follow the principles of naturopathic medicine.
