What medication can you not prescribe?
First, I would like to clarify that there is a difference between a naturopath and a Naturopathic Physician. A naturopath can be anyone who claims knowledge in natural medicines and healing regardless of formal education. A naturopathic physician has completed a 4 year doctorate program in natural medicine. This means that in a state where they are licensed, they have nearly Identical prescriptive rights as other medical professionals. A naturopath who has no formal education or state licence would not have this right or responsibility. READ MORE
I don't like taking high blood pressure medication
First, I want to caution you to never discontinue a prescription medication without first speaking with your medical provider, because there can be dangerous side effects. Second, make sure you speak with your medical provider if your medications are causing some unwelcome side effects, that way they can possibly change medications and or dose. That being said, there are other prescriptions medications on the market that may be a better fit for you and your high blood pressure than only Lisinopril. The other, not pharmecutical methods for controlling blood pressure are many. Stress reductions, diet, exercise, and some herbal preparations can all be effective and have a place in a blood pressure lowering health plan. Speak with your doctor about these other options. As you fit in exercise you may find you need less and less of the medication that is causing your problems. READ MORE
