Dr. Sonya Nobbe, ND

Some of you may have viewed a CBC television report discussing food allergy testing, including IgG food intolerance testing that many NDs and other licensed health professionals use to gain insight into the body’s immune system responses. This piece may have generated more questions than answers, and we’d like to offer our patients some clarification.

Though we agree with most statements made by the medical professionals interviewed by CBC television and radio reporters, it’s important to understand exactly what these professionals were carefully acknowledging, as the language used can be a bit tricky. Following are some of the concerns identified in the broadcast, and our clarifications:

We’re gearing up for our October and November series of classes!

Next week we’ll release the 2 month calendar, which will include six Monday morning qi gong classes with Carol Belanger, another 4 part Mindfulness Meditation course Tuesday evenings with Jocelyne Leyton, detoxification and cooking classes with Christina Vlahopoulos, trigger point sessions with Joel Ackerman, and finally, a tremendous 3-part Art Therapy course by Psychotherapist Kaye-Lee Pantony and artist Vicki Westgate, that takes women through a refreshing method of self-exploration for insight and healing.

We welcome your telephone calls and emails with questions and feedback.

Our classes often require a minimum and maximum number of participants, so please be sure to register as early as possible.

Patients of Naturopathic Doctors now have full access to our new laboratory, which includes thorough and inexpensive in-house urine testing for digestion and stress hormone balance, bone metabolism, blood-type testing, scratch testing for dust and mould allergies, and others. This is in addition to our current services, which include specialized testing for Lyme disease, food allergies, nutrient deficiencies, heavy metals, and hormone balance. Prices for individual tests start at $10, and must be requisitioned by your ND.

In her more than 5 years of experience as a Naturopathic Doctor, Christina shines as a truly supportive and caring health partner for her patients. She is additionally skilled in the specialized field of naturopathic pediatrics. I am sincerely appreciative of her many contributions to our professional team at Kingston Integrated Healthcare. Please see her new video, created by Jayce at HowToBecome.tv, posted here.
