Our Naturopathic Doctors have a ton of experience treating fatigue for our Edmonton patients. We always do a deep dive into hormones, thyroid and nutrition.

Our Naturopath clinic also offers Edmonton Intravenous Vitamin Therapy and IV NAD+ for rapid improvements in energy and mood. We are beginning to explore the use of Hyperbaric Oxygen for Fatigue.

Hypothyroidism

Thyroid issues are something our Naturopaths see a lot of at our Edmonton clinic.

Our Naturopathic Doctors run Thyroid Panels (TSH, Free T3, Free T4, Thyroid Antibodies), Adrenal Panels (Cortisol, DHEA) and related nutrients (Zinc, Vitamin A, Iodine, Selenium, Bromine & Cadmium) to get to the root of your Thyroid dysfunction. 

IBS

Gas, Bloating, Diarrhea, Constipation and Abdominal pain are issues related to IBS our Naturopathic Doctors have a ton of experience treating in our Edmonton clients.

Food Allergy Testing, SIBO & Candida testing and Comprehensive Digestive Analyses help our Naturopaths at TruMed get to the root of your digestive issues. 

Acne

Our Naturopaths are experienced with various skin concerns - Acne & Eczema are the two most common ones we see in our Edmonton patients.

Both frequently improve with dietary modifications - our Naturopathic Doctors usually elect for Food Intolerance Testing for this. With acne, we'll jump into hormones and assess Estrogens, Androgens (male hormones) and their urinary metabolites. 

PMS

Premenstrual syndrome issues are common at our Edmonton Naturopathic clinic.

More often than not our Naturopaths do salivary or urinary hormone testing (luteal phase Estradiol & Progesterone) to see the hormonal balance during the premenstrual period so we can make specific Naturopathic recommendations to balance your hormones.

See our Naturopath Guide and FAQ

Accurate hormone testing: We use a range of hormone and thyroid testing techniques (blood, urine, salivary) and our Naturopaths are trained in numerous hormone balancing techniques. 

Functional Medicine: Up to date alternative therapies addressing the root of your health concerns, are used by our Naturopaths. 

Modern IV Therapy: Two of our Naturopaths are trained in Advanced IV Therapy for rapid results in a range of conditions at our Edmonton clinic.

Food sensitivity testing: We provide Edmonton with the newest research backed food sensitivity testing in addition to numerous other precise Naturopathic testing techniques. 

Hyperbaric Oxygen: Our Clinic offers Hyperbaric Therapy - an advanced method that is well known to hasten healing and improve other Alternative therapies like IV Therapy.

Evidence Based Treatments: Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed always try and suggest treatments that are backed by human evidence from clinical trials and published studies and case reports.

Naturopaths at TruMed are trained to blend all of these integrative techniques to provide Edmonton a comprehensive and effective range of natural solutions for your health.

Are Naturopaths real doctors?

We are not medical doctors if that's what you mean! That's sort of the point.

Naturopathic Doctors are heavily trained in standard western medicine (like your MD) but we also learn how to integrate vitamins, dietary changes and supplements into the treatment of your health concerns for our Edmonton patients. 

Are Naturopathic services covered by Alberta health?

Unfortunately no.

Naturopaths in Edmonton are private health care providers, so expect out of pocket costs. But lots of our patients get excellent reimbursement through their benefit plans. 

How much do Naturopathic doctors charge?

Every Naturopath in Edmonton has different prices for their services.

At TruMed Clinic our initial consultation is $265, that gets you about an hour with one of our Naturopathic Doctors. But there might be additional costs for testing or supplements so be prepared! 

How often do I have to come?

At TruMed, we understand that seeing a Naturopathic Doctor is expensive so our Naturopaths try and cover all over your concerns within 2-4 visits.

The Naturopathic Doctors usually check in with our Edmonton patients every 1-4 months to track progress and adjust protocols. 

What training do Naturopaths have?

Naturopathic doctors have a ton of training.

All Naturopaths in Edmonton & Alberta have a four year Naturopathic doctorate (after undergraduate training) which included standard medical classes alongside Naturopathic medical modalities like herbal medicine and nutrition - minimum of 7 years post secondary.

Our Naturopaths have additional training in Fertility, Cancer Care, IV Therapy, Electrodermal analysis, Acupuncture and Hyperbaric Therapy.

Can Naturopaths prescribe medication?

Although Naturopaths have substantial training in pharmacology, in Edmonton & Alberta Naturopathic doctors don't prescribe.

At TruMed our Naturopaths have relationships with some Edmonton prescribing professionals that we refer our patients to if they need a medicine or hormone for their care.

Can a Naturopath help with Anxiety or Depression?

Definitely. Naturopaths can improve your mood in two ways. First we can screen you for hormonal abnormalities that might be causing the mood issues in the first place.

Secondly, our Edmonton Naturopathic Docs can use numerous effective herbal medicines, IV therapies and nutrients that can help with both anxiety and depression - most of which can be combined with anti-depressant or anti-anxiety medications.

Can a Naturopath help with Acne?

Our Naturopaths work with Acne in our Edmonton patients all the time. We usually want to figure out if there are any food triggers to your acne as well as hormonal imbalances.

Food allergy testing or dietary changes and salivary or urinary "DUTCH" testing are pretty important. Sometimes our Naturopathic doctors also use nutrients like Zinc and Vitamin A. 

Can a Naturopath help with IBS?

Does a duck quack? Of course we can! Our Edmonton Naturopaths see and treat a ton of IBS. We usually screen your diet, perform food sensitivity or food allergy testing and do some dietary changes.

Our Naturopaths also do digestion and microbiome analyses (SIBO - bacterial overgrowth and yeasts like Candida and parasites) and then make recommendations specific to you.

Can a Naturopath help with Hair loss?

Yup.

Our Naturopaths are usually looking for the cause of the hair loss. If it's more male pattern, we usually do urinary "Dutch" hormone testing to get a feel for your androgen metabolites.

If it's more generalized hair loss we are usually looking at your Thyroid and iron levels. Our Naturopaths see a lot of Thyroid issues causing hair loss in our Edmonton patients. 

Can a Naturopath help with weight loss?

The Naturopathic doctors at TruMed usually try to understand if your hormones are in good shape so that you can be in a better position to lose weight when other things are done right (like exercise and calorie reduction).

So we usually screen Thyroid, Cortisol, DHEA, Testosterone and Insulin levels for all of our Edmonton patients looking to lose weight.

Can a Naturopath help with allergies?

Although there are some good natural anti-histamines, we usually try and figure out if there are any food allergies that are making your seasonal allergies worse and try and remove those.

Dr Sumar also does histamine analysis and screens if you have nutrient deficiencies that are causing histamine overproduction or if you are not breaking it down properly.

Can a Naturopath help with Neurological Issues?

Our Naturopathic doctors definitely can work with a few common neurologic conditions like MS, Lyme, Parkinson's, ALS and Alzheimer's. We have oral and IV Therapy interventions that can be helpful.

Even better we've added Hyperbaric Oxygen in 2020 that has promising data for a range of neurological concerns. Dr. Muradov does the majority of the Neurological cases at our Edmonton office.

December 2019

9 MS patients and 14 controls were given VSL#3 (now called Visbiome in Canada) for two months. VSL#3 increased the abundance of several bacteria known to be depleted in MS such as Lactobacillus and decreased bacteria associated with dysbiosis in MS, including Akkermansia and Blautia (Tankou 2018).

Our Naturopaths use Visbiome with our MS patients after we perform stool analyses.

January 2020

141 MS patients and 44 control patients were assessed for EBV, HHV-6 and CMV virus antibodies. There was a higher probability of EBV and HHV6 antibody presence in patients with MS compared to that in the control group (Czarnowska 2018).

Our Naturopathic Doctors screen for Herpes Family infections in our Edmonton MS patients via blood tests. 

February 2020

Baikal Skullcap was studied in the Cuprizone model of MS - it was found that Baicalein (active substance) was beneficial for protecting oligodendrocytes and neuronal axons from excessive microglial activation and Baicalein has HHV-6 specific anti-viral activity (Hashimoto 2017). 

We use Baikal Skullcap as part of our anti-viral protocols at our Edmonton Naturopathic Clinic.

March 2020

Two human endogenous retroviruses part of the W family of human endogenous retroviruses (HERV): MS-associated retrovirus (MSRV) and ERVW-1 that encode for MSRVenv and Syncytin-1proteins which are pro-inflammatory and superantigenic and both have been suggested as cofactors triggering the immuno-pathogenesis of MS (Dolei 2017).

We at TruMed are starting to consider HERV for our MS treatment protocols. 

April 2020

36 RRMS patients (treated with Interferon β-1b) were given either placebo or oral 25 mg/d of melatonin for 6 months. 25mg of Melatonin significantly decreased serum concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines and oxidative stress markers: 18% for TNF-α,  35% for IL-1β,  35% for IL-6, 40% for lipoperoxides, and 24% for nitric oxide catabolite (NOC) levels compared with the placebo group. Melatonin was well tolerated (Sánchez-López 2018).

This is an encouraging study as sleep disturbances are extremely common in MS patients.

May 2020

One group compared the composition of the colonic microbiome in 25 RRMS patients and 14 healthy controls and 10 of the MS patients received a ketogenic diet for 6 months. The total concentrations and diversity of substantial bacterial groups were reduced in MS patients mainly Roseburia, Bacteroides and
Faecalibacterium prausnitzii.

In the short term, bacterial concentrations and diversity were further reduced on the Ketogenic diet. However, they started to recover after 12 weeks and then bacterial diversity significantly increased after 24 weeks on the ketogenic diet, that is, the Ketogenic diet normalized concentrations of the colonic microbiome after 6 months.

We use Ketogenic Diets in our MS patients at our Edmonton office. (Swidsinski 2017). 

June 2020

Twenty Six MS patients received Umbilical Cord Mesenchymal Progenitor Cells (UCMSC) as a treatment in a 1-year study (IV Therapy treatments of 20× 10⁶ UCMSC over 7 day period). 

Symptom improvements were most notable 1 month after treatment. Improvements were seen in EDSS scores, as well as in bladder, bowel, and sexual dysfunction and in walk times (Riordan 2018).

There is strong data from Israel suggesting remarkable efficacy using Progenitor cells in MS - especially with repeat treatments.

July 2020

NAD+ and NADH levels were measured in the serum from 209 patients with relapsing remitting MS, 136 with secondary progressive MS and 51 with primary progressive MS (PPMS) compared to 99 healthy controls.

Serum NAD+ levels declined by at least 50% in patients with MS compared to controls and NAD+ levels were higher in RRMS compared to both subgroups of progressive MS (Braidy 2013)

We are currently exploring the role of IV NAD+ in our MS patients for fatigue, symptomatic relief and prevention of neurodegeneration. 

August 2020

Biomarkers of intestinal permeability were looked at in 126 people with MS (57 RRMS and 69 progressive MS) versus healthy controls.

Zonulin physiologically modulates tight junctions of the digestive tract.

In RRMS, Zonulin concentrations were significantly higher when a concurrent MRI confirmed the presence of blood–brain barrier disruption (Gadolinium enhancement) and were correlated with markers of intestinal damage and bacterial translocation in RRMS compared to controls.

Baseline zonulin concentrations were associated with 1-year disease progression in progressive MS. 

Our Naturopaths can measure stool zonulin levels with our GiEffects stool test that we usually perform in MS patients. 

Our MS blog was started in 2016 to bring Edmonton innovative ideas with regards to Naturopathic Medicine and Multiple Sclerosis.

Check out our Naturopathic MS Blog page. 

Treat the cause (tolle causam): The Naturopaths at TruMed run deep testing based investigations (food sensitivity testing, hormone & thyroid testing, nutrient testing etc.) to find the root cause of health concerns in our Edmonton patients and not just suppress symptoms. 

The healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae): We believe the body has an inherent wisdom and capacity to heal itself. Therefore, the Naturopathic doctors at TruMed provide all the necessary ingredients for your body to heal itself - nutrients, dietary changes and harmonizing herbal treatments, IV Therapy and Hyperbaric Oxygen Treatment. 

Treat the whole person: Our Naturopathic doctors consider every relevant aspect of your health - different body and hormonal systems, diet, mental, emotional status, genetic, environmental, social, spiritual factors, and family history are all carefully evaluated and addressed uniquely in every patient. 

For more information on the Naturopathic Principles visit: Naturopathy and the Primary Care Practice 

Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed carefully interweave the best in Naturopathic principles with standard western medicine concepts and modern Functional Medicine principles to give Edmonton a unique approach to alternative medicine. 

Modern Herbal Medicine: Our Naturopaths use standardized herbal extracts as part of our treatment protocols so we can specify exact posology and many of our herbal treatments have clinical studies to support their modern use.

This isn't your grandma's herbal medicine!

Functional Medicine Treatments: Modern, evidence backed alternative treatments are used by our Naturopaths.

We take into account the full person and look for the root causes of your issues. 

Orthomolecular Medicine: To enhance your health, our Naturopath Doctors try to provide you the optimum concentrations of substances, like vitamins and minerals your body needs.

The optimum concentrations may differ from the normal concentrations of nutrients present in the body.

Individualized Dietary Changes: At TruMed, our Naturopaths run a ton of food allergy & food sensitivity testing so we can determine a diet that is specific to you.

We can also run nutrient tests to find out exactly what your body is lacking!

IV Therapy: In case you didn't notice already, our Naturopath Doctors love IV Therapy.

We can rapidly increase your Vitamin levels with IV Therapy which can get fast and strong effects in numerous health conditions.

Hyperbaric Oxygen: In 2020, we've added Hyperbaric Chambers to our new Edmonton facility. Hyperbaric Oxygen is a powerful modality that can stimulate healing and drive other Naturopathic therapies deeper and enhance their effects.

Treatments like IV Vitamin C and Nutritional IVs are thought to work better with Hyperbaric Oxygen added.
