Interview by Lon Woodbury

Dr. Jade Wimberley, a Consulting Naturopathic Physician at Open Sky Wilderness Therapy Program, was interviewed by Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio about how Open Sky?s approach to wellness counts on many principles of Naturopathic medicine. As a matter of fact, Open Sky is presently the only wilderness therapy in the nation that uses alternative medicine.

She pointed out that Naturopathy focuses on optimizing health and wellness by including nature?s help in healing mind and body. Unlike conventional medicine, where the doctor invests an average of about 7 minutes with each client, a Naturopathic specialist will devote an hour or even more to deeply comprehend the patient?s personal history in an effort to isolate the cause of the disease.

About Dr. Jade Wimberley

Jade is a qualified Naturopathic specialist with a BA from Denison University and with a doctorate from the Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine. Her enthusiasm for the wild, her Naturopathic background, and her interest in helping struggling teenagers has made her a perfect fit for the Open Sky Wilderness programs. She has a large and diverse work history and much personal experience with recovery issues. Besides working as a Program Liaison at Open Sky, she also has her own private practice.

What Is Naturopathic Medicine?

In the course of the interview, Jade described Naturopathy as a successful healthcare model that was the least harmful and intrusive. This was due to the fact that it depended on the treatment power of nature and acknowledged, recognized and believed in the self-healing power in each person.

A Naturopath worked to identify and treat the cause. As an illustration, she described how she had helped a 19-year-old-girl at Open Sky lose 45 pounds in 13 weeks and completely regain her health by identifying and removing the causes of her illness, rather than struggling to eliminate or suppress symptoms. She was successful in educating and inspiring rational hope in the young lady and encouraging self-responsibility for health. As a Naturopath, she treated the whole person because health and disease results from a complex of physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors.

In essence, then, Naturopathy focused on prevention, emphasizing the condition of health to promote well-being and to prevent diseases for the individual.
