There are 80 different types of autoimmune diseases and there are 50 million Americans, 75% are women, who struggle to find answers for their suffering. RA, lupus, Sjogrens, Crohns disease, Hashiomoto’s thyroiditis, and Polymyalgia rheumatica are just a few of the autoimmune dieases Dr. Carter treats successfully. Modern medicine treats autoimmune disease by suppressing the symptoms with corticosteroids or ‘biologics’ that target and suppress the bodies immune cells.
Many patients come to Dr. Carter because they understand that their body is producing these immune reactions for a reason and want to get to the cause and root to their immune system reactions. Many patients have been referred by friends or relatives that, after working with Dr. Carter, no longer test positive for RA, or have eradicated their symptoms by following the guidelines set up for them. Dr. Carter uses diagnostic testing to get to the root cause of the issue. This might include heavy metal testing, food allergy testing, microbiome testing, advanced thyroid testing, and several others.
Autoimmune symptoms are the body’s way of expressing that it is out of balance and needs support to achieve a state of equilibrium. The cornerstones of Naturopathic Medicine seek to find this balance. The patient needs to been engaged in their healing process for this to happen. Sometimes the solution is as easy as correcting a person’s diet and their microbiome, other cases are more complicated. After treating autoimmune disease for 32 years, Dr. Carter continues to be ever more passionate in finding the solutions to the suffering cause by this process.
