“The body has the natural ability to heal itself”
Dr. Harper believes that the body has the natural ability to heal itself, and illness is the body’s way of manifesting the internal imbalance. For example, tension headache can be a sign of bad posture, eye strain, or stress. As another example, eczema can often come from the wrong choice of food that you are consuming or nervous tension. Once the cause is identified, the illness may be easily treated without pharmaceutical drugs, returning the body back to a natural balance.
“There is always a reason behind the illness”
Dr. Harper’s focus is to identify and treat the underlying cause while palliating the symptoms limiting a patient‘s health. She uses conventional labs and imaging as well as more progressive science based labs for diagnosis. When it comes to treatment, she prefers to use less invasive, natural treatments to promote the body’s innate self-healing ability while minimizing the use of pharmaceutical drugs, which often leave patient with unwanted side effects. Her treatment plans are all individualized, consisting of clinical nutrition, musculoskeletal manipulation, clinical massage, reflexology, exercise, botanical medicine, IV nutrition therapy, hydrotherapy, and homeopathy.
“Health is the new wealth”
Dr. Harper became interested in naturopathic medicine through her own experience recovering from an illness. She was a former advertising executive managing the Tokyo office of a multi-national agency. Traveling around the world, producing multi-million dollar creative advertisements she never imagined herself being diagnosed with cancer. She was also suffering from atopic dermatitis and its complication from pharmaceutical drugs. This experience taught her how important it is to be responsible for your own health. It was her enlightenment that nothing matters without the health of your body. “Don’t make the same mistake that I made, health should be your number one priority because staying healthy is a prerequisite for whatever you want to achieve in your life. Indeed, health is the new wealth.”
“Vibrant health pushes you towards the positive spiral”
If you are healthy, you become active. Being active keeps you young. You are happier and your life becomes fun and exciting. If your life is fun, you will look forward to your future, which further allows you to stay active, young and healthy.
Be proactive. Preventative measures that you take today will save you a lot of money in the long run by keeping you out of the hospital and away from pharmaceutical drugs. Start your positive spiral today!
