Environmental Medicine at Naturopathic Specialists

Environmental medicine is a unique category of health care. It considers the effect the environment has on our health. At Naturopathic Specialists, Dr. Marchese has developed a program that addresses the relationship between environmental toxicity and health. We are exposed to chemicals at low doses everyday through our food, water, air, products, and plastics, both at work and at home.

Conditions linked to toxins include but are not limited to:

Cancer

Thyroid disorders

Fibroids

Infertility

PCOS

Endometriosis

Migraines/headaches

Allergies

Asthma

Chronic fatigue

Fibromyalgia

Skin rashes

Neurological conditions

Autoimmune conditions

Chemical sensitivity

After taking a thorough environmental exposure history, Dr. Marchese can determine what you have been exposed to in the womb, during breast feeding, childhood or currently. Testing is available to determine what levels of heavy metals, solvents, pesticides, phthalates, parabens, and other chemicals may be circulating or stored in the body.

Treatment is individualized and aimed at removing toxins from the body, assisting the liver’s ability to function and to restore health. Education on how to avoid exposure to chemicals is an integral part of maintaining health and preventing disease.

Naturopathic Specialists also provides a environmental oncology program that targets environmental toxicity in relation to the diagnosis and prevention of cancer.
