We all heal at different rates and at different depths requiring a variety of medicines at different times, but we should all constantly seek optimal health and well-being in the context of a supportive environment. The choice of the right Doctor-Patient relationship is central to the patient's experience and progress. Healing takes time and attention to the process as well as to the practice of wellness skills. These skills that I will teach you then become yours for a life time. The natural medicine patient needs the doctor less and less as he/she learns the skills of health maintenance and healthy living! ~ Dr. Beck ND |
