The word "doctor" is derived from the word "docere," which means "to teach" in Italian.  Now, consider if you go to a medical doctor 4 times a year, what do you do for your health the other 361 days?  You should have the knowledge--the information--from your doctors to continually live a productive and healthy life.   A visit to a naturopath like "Dr Di" will give you the health education needed for you to apply good health principles and practices to your life.

 

"Dr Di" reads your body.  She uses  pH Testing, Iridology, tongue & fingernail analysis, foot reflexology and pulse diagnosis,  to do this.  How you have been living your life over the years is reflected in your eyes, your tongue, your fingernails and your feet.   All "Dr Di" does is READ these reflections which gives you a strong indication of the state of your health.

 

"Dr Di" offers Health education for many conditions including, but not limited to: all cancers (Dr. Di is herself a melanoma survivor), fertility, weight management, varicose & spider vein issues, alcohol and tobacco problems, heart, colon, digestion, and liver concerns, as well as, arthritis, female/male health issues, depression, cholesterol, high blood pressure, etc. plus all general health issues.

Dr. Diane Gioia-Bargonetti is a contributing writer for A.R.E.’s Venture Inward Magazine; has a newspaper column in NYC; is the author of a Cellulite Booklet with International distribution; is an Emmy-Nominated Television Producer; lectures at health seminars; composes, plays and produces healing music; and, as already mentioned, is a melanoma cancer-survivor. “Dr. Di” resides in New York City and holds a Master of Science in Natural Health degree with honors and a Doctor of Naturopathy degree with high honors that she was awarded in August of 2001.

 

"Dr. Di" feels she obtained her alternative health education and degrees at a crucial time in history as she began utilizing her alternative medicine expertise with the FDNY shortly after the September 11, 2001 tragedy.

Dr. Di is a NATUROPATH.
Naturopaths use all natural means necessary to treat the whole person: the spirit, the mind and the body (not just symptoms). Naturopaths reject drugs and surgery as viable healing tools unless it’s an emergency. Personally, I believe there can be great results if naturopaths and medical doctors coordinated patient care. After all, that was the way it originally was back in the Popular Health Movement of the 1800’s, when “Every man his own doctor,” was the slogan of the day.
Although the word "naturopathy" was first used in the U.S. about 100 years ago, the natural therapies and the philosophy on which naturopathy is based have been effectively used to treat diseases since ancient times. Hippocrates, a physician who lived 2400 years ago, is often considered the earliest predecessor of naturopathic physicians, particularly in terms of his teaching that "nature is healer of all diseases" and his formulation of the concept vis medicatrix naturae -- "the healing power of nature." This concept has long been at the core of indigenous medicine in many cultures around the world and remains one of the central themes of naturopathic philosophy to this day.

 

Naturopathy does no harm and is inherently preventative.
