FAQ #2: What is Holistic or Naturopathic Medicine?

A: Holistic Medicine is a system of health care that uses natural substances to treat the patient and recognition that the patient’s mental, emotional, and physical states must all be considered for a lasting effect. Holistic practitioners focus on identifying and correcting the cause of a condition, not simply management of the symptoms. Many people interchangably refer to natural health care methods as Holistic and or Naturopathic.

FAQ #3: What exactly does Dr. Honda do?

A: Dr. Honda primarily works with food, nutrition, supplements, lifestyle changes, herbs and homeopathy to affect change and improve well being. As a practitioner of natural and preventative medicine, Dr. Honda uses a health care format that supports the body’s ability to defend and heal itself, looking at the whole body – not just the symptom or current issue.

FAQ #4: How exactly does Dr. Honda work with clients?

A: Dr. Honda’s first line recommendation is to help your body get what it needs through food. If you cannot get it through your diet, then supplements are recommended. And depending on the concern, herbs, herbal or homeopathic remedies may also be recommended. Also, in order to affect a cure, one must stop breaking down the body. This she feels is common sense – otherwise all of her great recommendations will help you but you may reach a plateau if you do not stop the cause of the existing problem.

FAQ #5: How does she help clients?

A: After taking a detailed health history prior to the appointment, Dr. Honda spends quality time identifying the issues, compromised systems of the body, probable causes & best course of action to remedy it. The entire appointment is spent talking and educating clients on how your body or mind got that way and what may have caused it. She will then address how diet, nutrition and lifestyle changes can get you back on the road to good health and vitality.

FAQ #6: What will I need to do to improve my health?

A: You have to be willing to change your diet and be willing to taking supplements. You must also take responsibility for your health. In the vast majority of cases, you are the way you are because of the lifestyle and food choices you have made all your life. In order to gain a new vibrant level of health, you must change what you are doing. You must restore the optimal functioning of your body’s systems. A famous quote sums it up nicely here; “In order to have what you have not (vibrant health), you must do what you have not yet done (take better care of yourself)”.

FAQ #11: What can I expect from working with Dr. Honda?

A: Her style and way of doing things is straight forward and realistic. That being said, you can expect to improve your health in working with Dr. Honda. She gets above average to great results for a high percentage of people – as long as they are compliant with the recommendations.

The majority of clients get good results to complete resolution to their problems within 4-6 appointments (4-6 months). Depending on the issue(s), it is not unusual to observe improvement within the first 1-4 weeks.

Something called “bio-individuality” says we are all different. We all have had multiple 1000s of different things affect us during our lives – food, air, chemicals, experiences, stress, toxins, traumas, beliefs, genetics, injuries etc. Therefore we all respond differently to different things. As with pharmacology and surgeries there too are no guarantees. The same can be said for natural health care modalities.

Though as a generalization, what can be said with confidence is that natural options will not give you the dangerous side effects that chemical medications can. They will not work to “only manage” your condition and keep you dependent on medications for life. Natural health care options will however try to correct the cause where possible so you can restore your health and vitality and move on with your life – safely and naturally.

FAQ #12: When is a good time to consider working with Dr. Honda?

A: Two scenarios. People who want to increase their quality of health and find out what they may be missing through their diet or lifestyle. Secondly: As long as you are ready, now is the best time. Your condition may either be relatively acute (few weeks to a year or so) to chronic and degenerative (5-30 year conditions). Do not expect something you have been dealing with for 10 years to go away 1-2 weeks. Working with Dr. Honda is not a replacement for your medical doctor. It should be considered a compliment to such.
