What Happens in an Annual Checkup. “Only naturopaths stimulate the innate healing ability of the body. Health and disease are a continuum; you are not healthy one day and sick the next. There are early signs that the body is heading toward illness. If you’re working with a naturopath, you’ll never get too far along the path of disease.”
Natural First-Aid Fixes. “For an all-over burn, add one to three cups of apple-cider vinegar to a cool bath. “The vinegar has tannins that help restore the natural pH balance,” says Iva Lloyd, a naturopathic doctor in Markham, Ont.”

Cocoa Nuts. “If you’re truly looking to chocolate for a health boost, it has to be dark – and not just any dark will do. “For it to be considered healthy, the concentration of cocoa should be at least 70 percent,” says Dr. Iva Lloyd, a naturopathic doctor . . .

ND & DNM: What's the Difference? Dr. Iva Lloyd, ND, chair of the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors discusses the difference between naturopathic doctors and doctors of natural medicine.
Holistic Health Professionals Weigh in on Immune Defences. “Dr. Iva Lloyd, ND, says that susceptibility and risk are based on two main factors: current health of the immune system and reducing the effects of stress, worry and fear. Regarding the latter, fear of SARS can be a dangerous thing in and of itself.”
