Evento

An Evening with Dr. David Suzuki

On November 13, 2009, Dr. David Suzuki will open the OAND annual convention, Revolutionizing Medicine: The Connection Between the Environment and Health.

Dr. Suzuki will present his keynote address, "The Challenge of the 21st Century: Setting the Bottom Line".

The OAND is excited to bring this public event to Toronto. Its a real celebration of our commitment to the health of Ontarians and is also part of our support for the real changes necessary to address the harmful effects of climate change.

Please join the members of the OAND at our Naturopathic Doctor Marketplace before and after the presentation to find out how Naturopathic Doctors are getting at the root of it! The Marketplace begins at 5:30 and Dr. Suzuki will speak at 7 p.m.

Naturopathic medicine is a distinct system of primary care that addresses the ROOT CAUSE of illness or disease and promotes health and healing using natural therapies. Treatment modalities may include clinical nutrition, botanical (herbal) medicine, homeopathic medicine, physical treatments, acupuncture, Asian medicine and lifestyle counselling.

The primary goal of naturopathic treatment is to address the cause of the illness rather than simply treating or suppressing symptoms. While naturopathic care helps to alleviate specific symptoms, NDs are primarily concerned with addressing the ROOT CAUSE of an illness: the focus is more on the why of a disease than the what.

The Ontario Association of Naturopathic Doctors is happy to support Evergreen in its efforts to improve the health of our cities - now and for the future. $6 from the purchase of every regular priced ticket will go to support Evergreen, a not-for-profit organization making cities more livable.
