The natural medicine consultation includes a thorough review of all supplements and prescriptions you may be taking and will include an evaluation of:
> Prescription/Supplement interactions

> Appropriateness for use in your condition
> Appropriateness of doses
> Product Quality
> Duplication of Products
Dr. Faithe will evaluate your symptoms and offer suggestions for Natural Medicines that are safe, and the most appropriate for your condition. If you are currently taking vitamins, herbs, or supplements for your symptoms this session will result in a fine tuning of your regimen, and likely a reduction in the number of different supplements you are taking.
Dr. Faithe emphasizes that most people who take supplements take too many. His goal is to consolidate your existing regimen and to assure that the products you are taking are the proper doses, proper quality and potency, and are absolutely necessary. Any others will be put aside.
Dr. Faithe also recognizes that many people today are exceptionally sensitive to vitamins and supplements and guides his patients accordingly
Dr. Faithe may offer suggestions in altering your prescription medicine regimen, and will set up a plan for dosage tapering and/or discontinuation. However, no recommendations to change your prescription medicines will be made without first consulting your prescribing doctor.
You are asked to bring in the actual bottles of all the prescriptions and vitamins you are currently taking, no matter the number of bottles.
Telephone sessions are available and are equally effective.
