Naturopathic Medicine in British Columbia has flourished over the past decade. Many of you already know a family member or friend that has sought the use of a Naturopathic Physician.
Naturopathic Physicians are licensed primary healthcare professionals who are specialists in preventative care and are effective in providing alternatives
to conventional medical treatments.
Chronic conditions such as Diabetes, Heart Disease, Arthritis, Crohn’s and Colitis are often treated by the medical profession with drugs and surgery. While I am not discounting the necessity of everyone having a medical doctor on their health team, I am suggesting that there are many safe and effective alternatives that have little if any side effects.
I have been able through lifestyle change and diet, change many peoples lives. I have been able to help people go off their prescription medications and improve their lab test results. I have worked with many medical doctors who send their patients to me when they don’t know what else to do. I have worked with oncologists (cancer specialists), endocrinologists (hormone specialists) and cardiologists (heart specialists). Naturopathic Care can be integrated into anyone’s current treatment regime.
If you have ever caught yourself thinking “Why do I have to take all these drugs?” “Why can’t I just feel better?” Then you owe it to yourself to explore your options. Naturopathic Medicine is one avenue to try – See what Naturopathic Care can do for you!
"It is with great pleasure and an enormous amount of gratitude that I write this testimonial and recommendation. I have been a patient of Dr. Van Gaver for almost 5 years. He was recommended to me by a trusted girlfriend and it is one decision I will never regret. From our first phone call to our last email exchange a few moments ago – he has never let me down, not once. He has been open, willing and eager to work with me on any and every issue or concern I presented him with. He is constantly learning new treatments to enhance the variety and scope of options he can provide. I find him to be extremely generous of himself and his time and is a wonderful listener with a great sense of humor. He genuinely cares about his patients and their well being. No matter what comes my way I know without a shadow of a doubt, Dr. Van Gaver always has my best interests at heart and will be on my side - treating, supporting and cheering me on to being the best, healthiest and happiest I can be. Needless to say I am a huge fan and cannot imagine my life without him in it. He is one of the good guys… don't hesitate for a moment!"
I was fortunate to have Dr. Badyal recommended to me by a colleague several years ago. Since then he has ensured I have the tools to take care of my back; from treatments to stretches to the proper techniques to perform exercises. His thoroughness and genuine concern are most appreciated. I am delighted I have had the opportunity to recommend him to both my personal and professional acquaintances.
