It takes into â€" consideration _ all aspects of the body and uses elements â€" of nature. Naturopathy is preventative medicine â€" teaching people how to take care of their by Mickey Leblanc When a person beâ€" comes ill there are a number of routes that can be followed to cure the sickness. The iliness can be treated by stanâ€" dard medicine or igâ€" nored altogether. Dr. Steve Cheng, .icensed chiropractor, drugless therapist and aiming at becoming a doctor of naturopathy, has operated from his Erb Street home since November. Now there is another alternative that is quickâ€" ly becoming popular. _ The major difference beâ€" tween natural healing and standard medical practices is that natural healing involâ€" ves little chemical medicaâ€" tion.

"If a person has a good immune response then even if they are exposed to the virus they will not get the illness, so basically orthoâ€" dox medicine js aimed at identifying the virus and prescribing a medication to kill that virus"‘, Dr. Cheng explained .\ l Dr. Cheng feels it is unforâ€" tunate that natural healing has been pushed aside until people started to question the reasoning behind taking prescription drugs from their doctors. In place of medication the naturopath looks at the organ systems to find the cause. "It‘s not fair to say that there is a growing lack of faith in general practiâ€" tioners but rather that there is a growing awareness of the natural aspects that could be used to treat the *‘We back track to see why a patient is less resisâ€" tant than a healthy person‘‘, he said. body"‘, the doctor said "and there are fewer side effects using natural therapys"‘. ‘"We are trying to go back basicaly to using the many tried old methods of treatâ€" ments and also some of the new treatments using the natural appreach", he added. Being an alternative to standard medicine, naturopâ€" athy and related medicines might be considered a threat to the orthodox and therefore not be received faâ€" vorably in the community. Dr. Cheng says that there has been little reaction to his practice from the Waâ€" terloo medical community since he set up business. ‘*We are trained to diagâ€" nose and they refer patients to us. We treat them accordâ€" ingly and then report to the doctor what we do"‘, he said, adding that a courtesy is formed between himself and the orthodox doctor on a person to person basis rather than doctor to doctor. "I think professions tend to be competitive because you tend to see people that have already béen to their medical doctor"‘, he said. ‘"Eventually you help them and this is how you build ‘up a practice. But when that happens and the patient goes back to their doctor and says you gave me these pills and they didn‘t work and I went to a chiro practor and he fixed me, it‘s not going to make the doctor too happy," Dr. Cheng said. It is not a reflection of the doctors ability Dr. Cheng **‘They‘ll come to you with a back pain and they say I have been to my MD, can you help me"", Dr. Cheng said. teaching people to care for their bodies says because ‘"no doct the ~world can have answer for everyone". ‘‘The GP has his four years of training and we got our four years‘‘, he says, "In our four years we learn something a little different from what they learn."‘ General practitioners are trained to handle the comâ€" plicated infections that druâ€" gless medicine can not hanâ€" dle properly. ‘"I think that is the unforâ€" tunate part, that the mediâ€" cal profession can not seâ€" parate that and realize we are basically good for this and that. They look at us as if we are competing with them head on. Really we don‘t", he says. 5L Dr. Cheng has been in terloo since November has operated in Harristo for two years. He came to Waterloo â€" because _ the Toronto native missed the city life but did not want to return to the big city. He is now involved in a post graduate program that will require 900â€"1,000 hours of his time and will allow him to learn the clinical aspects of naturopathic meâ€" dicine. Chiropractic, naturopâ€" athic and other "fringe‘ medical professions are still not widely accepted in mediâ€" cal circles, but public attiâ€" tudes are changing. ‘"‘"Everybody has their GP", Dr. Cheng says, ‘"but not everybody has their chiropractor. We‘re workâ€" ing to change that‘
