Naturopathic Medicine Week, 2010

April 27, Toronto, Ont. – The Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors (OAND) with support from the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors (CAND) and Cold-FX, are proud to announce Naturopathic Medicine Week 2010.

Naturopathic Medicine Week (NMW) allows the public to learn more about how naturopathic doctors can help. It features a series of events that will be taking place in naturopathic clinics across Ontario from May 3-9.

During Naturopathic Medicine Week, registered naturopathic doctors will be hosting events for the public, educating them on how naturopathic medicine integrates a range of natural therapies to prevent and treat disease and improve overall wellness. NDs will be offering seminars, open houses and much more. Some of the events include various topics such as: strategies for detoxifying the body and alleviating headaches the natural way, top 10 ways to optimize your health using naturopathic medicine, what is the connection between stress and weight gain, the fundamentals of nutrition, breast thermography screening, optimizing fertility, spring detox and much more.

NDs are primary care providers and have been regulated, in Ontario, since 1925. The OAND helps promote naturopathic medicine and those who practice it, representing them as valued partners in the health-care system, and promoting public awareness about how naturopathic doctors can make a difference. By doing so, they set the standard for clinical excellence in patient-centred care.
