What is a Naturopathic Doctor?
A licensed naturopathic physician (ND) attends a four-year, graduate-level naturopathic medical school and is educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD, but also studies holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness. In addition to a standard medical curriculum, the naturopathic physician also studies clinical nutrition, homeopathic medicine, botanical medicine, psychology, and counseling. A naturopathic physician takes rigorous professional board exams so that he or she may be licensed by a state or jurisdiction as a primary care general practice physician.
My Legislative Advocacy
Every spring, the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians hold a Washington, D.C. Federal Legislative Initiative (DC FLI) event for students and doctors. We articulate clear and targeted messages that Members of Congress need to hear about comprehensive wellness. We meet with more than 600 congressional staff and Members of Congress. This will be my 2nd year goingand I am logistically organizing this years trip for the National College of Natural Medicine.
Last year was my first year and I met with Senator Heller and Representative Heck of Nevada, informing them of the cost and wellness benefits of Naturopathic medicine. Resultingly, the Senate Resolution 135 we advocated for was passed unanimously to designate Naturopathic Medicine Week which, this year, will be October 6-12.
Please Support My Nevada Advocacy!
As your Nevada Naturopathic Medicine Advocate, I ask for any donation you can provide to once again attend DC FLI. I greatly appreciate any support you are able to provide, and I thank you in advance!
*The featured map shows in green the states that have approved legislation for Naturopathic Medicine as a primary care option for the states' residents. Nevada looks lonely amongst its western neighbors! So, I'm working to change that! Battle Born citizens have a right to another choice in their healthcare!
(Yellow states are in the process of adopting Naturopathic Medicine.)
