Natural Pharmacy

Natural, plant-based supplements offer remedies for complex chronic illness that can be gentler and more subtle than pharmaceutical drugs, while much of the time equally effective. The resistance to synthetic drugs often developed by bacteria, viruses and fungi is also less common with botanical treatments.

Dr. Grieder is well versed in botanical medicine, and lectured on herbal protocols for Lyme disease at the recent ILADS (International Lyme and Associated Diseases Society) conference. Dr. Grieder’s clinic contains a dispensary stocked with a comprehensive array of supplements to support your health, including nutritional supplements, hand-made, high-potency herbal medicines, and European botanical medicines. Dr. Grieder will customize a supplement protocol for you that best supports your healing at each stage. Below is a description of what’s available through his natural pharmacy.

BOTANICAL MEDICINE

European Imports and German Biological Medicine

Leading-edge European botanical medicines

Europe, especially German speaking countries, is currently producing many leading-edge botanical medicines. German biological medicine and other European advances offer effective, non-invasive ways to speed and support your healing process.

German biological medicine in particular offers gentle and natural ways to enhance detoxification and regulation of the immune system. Detoxification can be a critical component of healing complex chronic illness, as often the body’s natural detoxification pathways have become overwhelmed. Immune dysregulation is also common as a result of infection, toxicity, and other causes.

Dr. Grieder will integrate European botanical medicine into your protocol as it best supports your healing process. He especially enjoys working with Pekana, a family-owned German company specializing in spagyrically processed herbs.

VITAMINS & MINERALS

Micronutrients

Many people healing complex chronic illness need nutritional support to regain optimal health. After determining your nutritional profile, Dr. Grieder will create an individualized protocol for you that supports cellular healing. Most vitamin and mineral supplements are available in the clinic’s dispensary.
