NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE : A
WONDERFUL CAREER CHOICE
On Monday, February 4, 2008, Dr. Nancy Rebellato, Doctor
of Naturopathic medicine and Clinic Director of
Rebellato Health Centre in Sudbury, appeared as
Robert Kirwan's special guest on THE LEARNING CLINIC
INSIDE EDUCATION.
Dr. Rebellato explained that
“Naturopathic Medicine is a complete and
coordinated approach to medicine that combines
medical sciences with traditional healing
wisdom.” She went on to state that the basic
principles of naturopathic medicine are founded on
the belief that you must find and treat the cause
of the problem and not merely focus on treating
the symptoms. You must above all else do no harm
to the patient, but in finding the root cause of
the problem you should treat the whole person,
including his/her mental, emotional, spiritual and
energetic elements. She
also pointed out that the body has an amazing
ability to heal itself naturally, so it is
important to use common sense medicine when
helping a patient.

disease is something that attacks the brain in
such a way that people tend to lose control over
their ability to control their emotions and also
to recall information. Many of the people with
Alzheimer’s disease act in ways that are
completely out of context to their situation and
often feel as if they are living in a different
time than the one of which they are currently
part.

of real estate for the listening audience,

experience that Dan is providing as they

Real
Estate agents are considered self-employed
entrepreneurs so there is considerable risk
and investment needed in the beginning. The
fact that earnings are commission-based makes
it important for new agents to "hit the
ground running" and develop an effective
strategic plan of action designed to help them
make contact with their network of family,
friends and acquaintances.
Both
Cindy and Amanda reiterated the importance of
being part of a "team" and look
forward to learning everything they can from
their colleagues at Remax Sudbury. |
