About Naturopathic Medicine

Naturopathy is effectively an 'Independent Alternative Healthcare Profession' but does aim to work in an integrated way with the modern "allopathic" medical model when required.

Registered Naturopaths (ND) receive extensive training in anatomy, physiology and pathology: they have to have an excellent understanding of how the body works and what happens when things go wrong. They are also trained in one or two specialist areas like modern herbal medicine or homeopathy.

Often a qualified Naturopath has to assess clients modern pharmaceutical drug plan and then work out protocols to combine with 'natural medicines' with the aim that the reliance on modern drugs can be reduced (by the GP or consultant) and sometimes even eliminated. The body can then be re-balanced and the natural healing energy of the body restored.

Naturopathic medicine works on all levels - Body, Mind and Spirit and uses various modalities to conquer health issues.

At The Clinic of Natural Medicine we have pioneering diagnostic equipment to analyse nutritional status, toxic loading of the body, emotional states, musculo-skeletal status, bioenergetic blockages and much more. Backed by scientific rigour these testing modalities give an excellent picture of the body's physiological processes, not just an anatomical readout.Thermal whole body and breast screening are also available and any blood, urine or saliva test that may be pertanent to a particular case. All labs used are CQC & CPA registered.

Initially a deep level of individual assessment will be done on the part of the practitioner in order to establish the root cause of the disease. On-going assessment is usually done on a monthly basis and treatment plans changed accordingly.

Area of Specialism

Toxic metal burdens plus Lyme disease & co.(Often found together!)

Janet trained under Dr Chris Shade, a scientific pioneer in the field of heavy metal detox. His company Quicksilver Scientific are one of the leading manufacturers of specialist liposomal detoxification supplements in the world and are used here at The clinic of Natural Medicine. For more information on Dr Chris Shade please visit www.quicksilverscientific.com.

Chronic illness also appears to be linked with Lyme disease and its co infections. Where there are hidden toxic metals there are more often than not and some would say always, some pathogens that need clearing from the body that are causing destruction or some blocking of energy production at some level. Janet also follows closely the work of Dr Klinghardt, a world renowned expert in the field of toxic metal detox and Lyme disease/chronic illness.

Janet Wrathall ND

Janet Wrathall has 17 years of Naturopathic Medicine clinical experience having recovered from her own health challenges of ME, breast cancer, endocrine imbalances (ie adrenal / thyroid), heavy metal toxicity, clinical depression and Lyme disease. She is therefore in an informed and unique position to help you with your health issues.

She has undergone training both nationally in the UK and Internationally in Dublin and New York and with some of the most talented forward thinking innovators in the Natural Medicine sector. Janet's continued education in health related fields combined with a passion for healing inspired her to open her practice of Natural Medicine in the beautiful market town of Garstang in Lancashire, UK. Her premise is "Health is much greater than just absence of infirmity, it should be abundant Vitality!"

Sadly the Garstang practice was lost due to Lockdown in March 2020 and closed its’ doors in September but the practice still thrives and now operating from a home environment for the time being. One day we hope to open up a new clinic within this location.
