Our approach, through naturopathic medicine, supports the organs of detoxification, which include the liver, kidneys, colon, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system. Many chronic illnesses will significantly improve by supporting the organs of detoxification. We use a combination of diet, homeopathic drainage, botanical medicine, and supplementation to customize a treatment program for patients.

The toxins that we are exposed to in our home and work environments can be directly responsible for our poor health. Every day we are exposed to  toxins and these small daily exposures can build up in our body and cause adverse effects to our wellness. Toxicologists and conventional physicians are trained to identify individuals who are acutely poisoned. They are not educated in how to treat someone whose symptoms stem from exposure to small daily doses of toxins. Naturopathic doctors who are trained in environmental medicine, such as Dr. Mason-Wood, are equipped with the knowledge of how to treat individuals whose symptoms arise from toxic overload.

Environmental medicine looks at the association between a patient’s health and the toxins found in our air, water, soil, food, cosmetics and medications. A good detox is not just about cleansing the liver. It is about correcting the diet, addressing environmental toxins in your environment, removing bad bacteria, re-populating the gut with healthy organisms, re-balancing pH levels, ensuring the kidneys are working effectively and supporting the drainage and detoxification processes of the liver. This is known as an integrated detoxification. To get the best results, it is important that a cleanse be supervised to ensure you are completing the steps of detoxification in the right order. Our goal is to reduce the toxic load in your body and desensitize you to toxins so that your body can naturally defend itself. This allows a return to your natural healthy state!
