Our Philosophy

In general, the approach in our medical practice is to include the use of nutrients, detoxifiers and low toxicity substances whenever possible to help your body heal itself. We are not opposed to prescription medications, although we try to limit the chronic use of pharmaceuticals as much as possible. Our intention is to work closely with our patients in order to understand their unique biochemistries, personalities and lifestyles.

Many of the therapies we use will differ from those utilized by mainstream medicine. Other physicians may not understand these alternative modalities and will sometimes disapprove of them. However, conventional medicine is now promoting some treatments in the literature, which just a few years ago, were considered to be alternative. Keep in mind that all conventional and alternative treatments are subject to debate and are continually being revised to reflect the latest research and available technology.

When we treat the whole person there is an attempt to help the patient identify areas of unforgiveness of others as well as full gratitude for what's already right in their lives. Unforgiveness has a way of blocking healing. Healing can be facilitated with forgiveness and prayer to God through Jesus Christ.

We all have the choice to do those things to make us healthy or otherwise. We're about helping people be outstandingly healthy. -Ted L. Edwards, Jr., M.D.
