Let Food Be Thy Medicine,
And Let Thy Medicine Be Food- Hippocrates
Every physician in practice today swears the "Hippocratic Oath" written by the founder of modern medicine. I can think of no better way to honor Hippocrates than to practice good medicine and provide patients a path to whole health.
In this concept of whole health, we have planted an experiment in "food as medicine" by farming the land behind our clinic.
With an organic farm in our back lot, we are expanding the model of health care to recognize food as medicine, sustainability as medicine, community as medicine and exercise as medicine (farm work is hard work!)
What a wonderful feeling to have patients explore the garden after an appointment and take tomatoes fresh off the vine! We invite all of you to stop by and take a look at our garden. Hopefully our farm will be an inspiration to bring gardens to your yard and fresh food to your table. It is easier than you think!

Evidence for Autism as an Oxidative Process, Testing and Treatments.
Indoor lead dust is a major cause of lead poisoning in children. In a recent Multnomah county study, a screening procedure was used to measure the amount of lead dust in 125 houses in North, Northeast, and Southeast Portland that were built before 1930. Seventy-one percent of the houses had composite lead dust levels that exceeded federal standards. These levels are hazardous to the neurological development and physical health of children and adults! Read more to find out what you can do to protect your family.
