Welcome to Minnesota Natural Medicine

...a place where you can discover and apply the tools of integrative health and pursue a comprehensive approach to solving health care issues. We are a consultative medical clinic and "home" providing a combination of conventional and integrative approaches to health, aging and disease.  We do not provide knee-jerk pharmaceutical solutions nor do we believe that everyone needs an antidepressant or statin drug.

We focus on the application of "upstream principles" that are all too often excluded from our medical care. These include the identification of our genetic strengths and weaknesses, biological functions, and nutritional needs that form a unique set of variables that are highly specific. If addressed appropriately, we feel that functional capacity can be optimized, disease activity curtailed, and true prevention practiced.  There is nothing "experimental or investigational" about what we do.  Necessary time and focus (things you rarely get in your local insurance company-managed care factory) are essential elements in what we do.

In the coming months we will change our website and its content to provide more up-to-date and scholarly information about issues of the day:  Lyme disease, new approaches to cancer management, best ways to obtain exercise, the modern paleo diet, and much more.  In the meantime stay abreast with our News and Features section and other timely articles.

Read and stay informed....

The AMA and the great CPT conspiracy...



The use of antidepressants in post menopausal women is much more hazardous than we were lead to believe.  Again, misrepresentation from the pharmaceutical companies and the insurance industry for blindly subsidizing it all....



New evidence suggests that depression and gradual loss of cognition is not about inadequate serotonin or norepinephrine.  It's the inflammatory mediators fostered by an over vaccinated population...

There is very little evidence that statins do anything to prevent the calcium deposits in coronary arteries.  It's all about your vitamin K status and inflammation...



It looks like this is a proven fact and works as well as everyday dieting.   Restrict your intake to ~ 500 calories every other day.
 


Giving your baby extra vitamin D will indeed reduce the risks of type 1 diabetes. The amount may be more than you think...

For years the term "leaky gut" has been treated derisively by conventional medicine.  Now we find out it is serious and possibly caused by widely used drugs...



"Sun avoidance" may be one of the missing links between the sharp rise in autism cases and changes in the way we function in our communities. Medical "experts" have suggested minimizing sun exposure now for the past 20 years. Is this a good thing?

Here is a landmark editorial signed by most of the important voices in vitamin D research. Now, finally, after fairly irrefutable evidence, we have a concession by knowledgeable people regarding advice from the naturopathic community. Most all conventional MDs have missed the boat for decades on this one.

These are professionals, services, and retailers with whom Minnesota Natural Medicine has worked and in whom we have a lot of confidence. We will greatly expand this page as time goes on. Finding MDs who understand health from the "inside out" and "strategically" can be daunting.

Please review our current policies, fees, and practices. Also note that we will be raising our fees March1st, 2010 -- the first fee increase in 5 years.

Minnesota Natural Medicine Health Tips
Keep the engine running
Eat a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snack to keep your metabolism active. Raw vegetable sticks and unsalted raw nuts and seeds make great snack choices. They’re rich in vitamins, minerals, and beneficial enzymes. Fresh fruit, half an avocado, and low-fat yogurt are also satisfying choices that will keep your motor going.
