Naturopathic doctors (NDs) are the only California-licensed primary care doctors formally trained in both mainstream and natural medicine. NDs diagnose and treat differently because they start with a completely different paradigm. NDs treat with natural medicine and prescribe healthy lifestyle, but also seek to find the causes of dis-ease. NDs help patients to get and stay healthy, not to merely control disease. If mainstream medical care is not helping you to achieve your health goals, perhaps it is time to seek an ND - one of America's Natural Medicine Experts!
