Our Philosophy

It is the natural tendency of the human body to be healthy.  It is our lifestyle habits and our physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being that either help or hinder this process.  Our goal at SanTan Natural Medicine is to remove the obstacles that prevent health and to foster the natural healing properties within the body.

We do this by practicing the type of medicine that adheres to the

Six Guiding Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:

First Do No Harm - primum non nocere
Our role, as physicians, is to restore and support the natural healing properties of the body.

Discover and Treat the Cause, Not Just the Effect - tolle causam
Our goal is to find and treat the true cause of the disease.  Symptoms are simply “the body's natural attempt to heal.”

Treat the Whole Person - tolle totum
Each person is seen as unique and in need of individualized care.  The body is a synergistic organism and the health of one body system hinges on the health of every body system.  Treatment plans are designed to create balance in the body, as a whole, by treating the entire person.

The Physician is a Teacher - docere
Our objective is not just to treat, but to “educate, empower, and motivate patients to take responsibility for their own health.”

Prevention is the Best Cure
Prevention is best attained through the education and promotion of healthy lifestyle habits that prevent disease and supports health.
