Most doctors do teach. They’re just not physicians. Sadly, allopathic
physicians need to learn before they can teach (or become healers). They’re
better pharmacists.

You’re very welcome, but that what ND’s are supposed to do! Teach! Did
you know that the origin of the word doctor is the Latin word “docere”
or “to teach.” The original role of the doctor was to teach people how
to achieve and maintain optimum health. I’m just practicing. The
following from the AANP homepage:
Doctor As Teacher (Docere)
The original meaning of the word “doctor” is teacher. A principal
objective of naturopathic medicine is to educate the patient and
emphasize self-responsibility for health. Naturopathic physicians also
recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient
relationship.

Ryan,
I’m really glad to know this info on uterine fibroids & the hormone
connection. I had a partially hysterectomy 14 years ago due to fibroids. I
didn’t even know until a week ago it had to do with hormones being out of
whack. My ND told me that’s what caused it & he’s now testing my hormone
levels because he feels that’s still part of my problem (besides the low
thyroid). We didn’t really discuss any of this in detail so your e-mail was
a lot of helpful info. Thanks!
Claudia

Yeah, because you’ll be dead.
