  Natural Health & Wellness Consulting is the consulting practice of Barry A. Broughton, NMD, PhD. By implementing the Principles of Natural Health & Wellness, recommendations can be provided to you for a wide array of acute and chronic health concerns. Dr. Broughton currently provides consultations at his Olean, NY office or long distance consultations by telephone. Recommendations may include nutritional supplementation such as botanicals or vitamin and mineral therapy, dietary changes, exercise, and lifestyle reform. In an attempt to offer a more complete plan, functional laboratory testing is sometimes suggested. If chiropractic, massage therapy, acupuncture, reflexology or other complementary modalities might be of benefit to a client, names of local practitioners may be available. Services include: Individual Consultations for persons seeking natural health recommendations for existing health issues or for preventative health programs designed for the proactive individual. His goal is to provide guidance and recommendations to aid you in achieving optimal health. As your personal health and wellness consultant, recommendations are provided to educate and assist you in making the natural healthcare choices that fit your individual needs. Integrative Health Consultations are specifically for Physicians or Healthcare Providers desiring assistance in implementing an integrative approach for their existing patients. Recent studies indicate that nearly 50% of Americans have used complementary and alternative medicine in the past; 36% of those in the past year. In 1997, 18.4% of prescription users also took herbal remedies and/or high dose vitamins concurrently, and that number was projected to continue to rise. Unfortunately, many patients do not tell their medical practitioners that they are taking vitamins and herbal preparations; and when they do the practitioner is unsure what to do with the information. A study published in Annals of Internal Medicine revealed adults who use both CAM and conventional care are less concerned about their doctor’s disapproval than their doctor’s inability to understand or incorporate CAM therapy use within the context of their medical management. Our goal is to assist physicians and healthcare providers in avoiding the pit-falls of drug-nutrient-herbal interactions, and provide information on natural health options that best suits the needs and desires of your patient. We would like to alert you that the purpose of the long distance telephone consultation service is to provide you with educational health information only. We do NOT intend to SUBSTITUTE YOUR MEDICAL PRACTITIONER, rather to supplement services of your health care provider. This service is to be used only to provide you with additional information for the sole purpose of understanding your health and your health conditions. “Let food be thy medicine, and thy medicine be thy food.” - Hippocrates, 400 BC "The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and in the cause and prevention of disease." - Thomas Edison “Modern medicine is like a group of ambulances gathered at the bottom of a cliff picking up the battered bodies of those who fall. It would be simpler to go to the top of the cliff and repair fences.” - Select Committee on Nutrition and Human Needs, U.S., 1977 Genes + Environment* = Health or Disease *environment = diet, exercise, social health, lifestyle, chemical exposure, vitamins, botanicals, medications, etc. Scienced Based Natural Healthcare Better Health...
