Purpose, Philosophy
Dr. Thom coaches people in developing a new health paradigm, enabling them to access more of their natural resources for healing and prosperity. Since health is a reflection of balance on all levels (physical, emotional, spiritual, and energetic), Dr. Thom is committed to helping people overcome obstacles to achieving this essential equilibrium. To help you achieve your optimal level of wellness, he will assist you in recognizing the factors that cause imbalances in your system.
Once an assessment is completed, you will be given a detailed and comprehensive treatment plan to follow. Some will find the protocol arduous and challenging, but Dr. Thom has found that compliance is essential to the success of the treatment. Thus, one’s commitment to change is essential.
He refers to this as “nature cure” and it includes nutrition (diet) recommendations, certain supplements and herbs, proper sleep and exercise, drainage homeopathy, and hydrotherapy (therapeutic use of water and topical castor oil).
Dr. Thom will make every attempt to adequately meet your expectations. Open communication between patient and physician will assure a successful working relationship. He relies on your own knowledge of your health and on your participation in your care to achieve your personal health goals. He has seen the greatest health benefits from those patients who willingly contribute to this partnership with him. Yet, he understands that the most important part of his practice is education. After all, the word “doctor” is derived from the Latin word “to teach.” As a result, patients benefit by learning about themselves, their challenges, and their gifts.
