Hi this is Dr. Sam Walters. I received a question from a patient.

“What is a Naturopathic Medical Doctor?”

NMDs are trained and licensed to do all the traditional medicine that you grew up with, but the “N” represents “natural.” We’re trained in all the naturopathic ways. Everything from acupuncture to Ayurvedic medicine to vitamins and minerals to lifestyle.

If a patient needs a prescription, we can still do that.

But at the same time, we use natural methods first before we go to the pharmaceuticals

Let me give you an example.

I had a patient that was on 23 pharmaceutical drugs a day. I can’t begin to tell you how bad her brain was. She couldn’t even talk to you. By the time we got through with her, she was only 2 medications, and they were very light at that. Her brain improved tremendously. Her personality came back.

The first time she came into the clinic, she couldn’t even talk to you. Her husband had to do most of the talking.

That’s why in my clinic I always say “Prevention is the cure.”

It is about prevention.

I’ll tell you what. Mother Earth has the secrets to everything if we have the spirit and the will to investigate.

We’re the best medicine on the planet. We have the best doctors on the planet, but not enough attention is paid to prevention. Not enough attention is paid to the natural side of things, and people, you do have a choice. There is an alternative route out there.
