Interview by Lon Woodbury
Dr. Jade Wimberley, a Consulting Naturopathic Physician at Open Sky Wilderness Therapy Program, discussed with Lon Woodbury on L.A. Talk Radio how Open Sky's approach to wellness relies on many principles of Naturopathic medicine. In fact, Open Sky is currently the only holistic wilderness therapy program in the country.
She pointed out that Naturopathy focuses on optimizing health and wellness by including nature's help in healing mind and body. Unlike conventional medicine, where the doctor invests an average of about 7 minutes with each client, a Naturopathic specialist will devote an hour or even more to deeply comprehend the patient's personal history in an effort to isolate the cause of the disease.
About Dr. Jade Wimberley

Her passion for the wild, for Naturopathic medicine, and for helping struggling adolescents has made her an excellent fit for the health care and therapeutic approaches being offered by Open Sky. She brings to Open Sky a lot of professional experience as well as personal experiences related to recovery issues.

What Is Naturopathic Medicine?
In the course of the interview, Jade described Naturopathy as a successful healthcare model that was the least harmful and intrusive. This was due to the fact that it depended on the treatment power of nature and acknowledged, recognized and believed in the self-healing power in each person.
A Naturopath worked to identify and treat the cause. As an illustration, she described how she had helped a 19-year-old-girl at Open Sky lose 45 pounds in 13 weeks and completely regain her health by identifying and removing the causes of her illness, rather than struggling to eliminate or suppress symptoms. She was successful in educating and inspiring rational hope in the young lady and encouraging self-responsibility for health. As a Naturopath, she treated the whole person because health and disease results from a complex of physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, social and other factors.
In essence, then, Naturopathy concentrated on avoidance, highlighting the conditions of good health and focusing on prevention over healing.
