Contributions of Naturopathic Doctors to the 2020 Health Crisis 

The pandemic has been a direct illustration of the importance of public health, and the utilization of all available health care providers to support the health and well-being of the public. Traditional, complementary and integrative health and medicine (TCIHM) providers have been controversial during the pandemic, and in some cases determined to be “non-essential” providers.

 

In order to document the contributions to health education, the public health, and individual health, a group of international researchers contributed to the development of a clinical support registry, housed at the Helfgott Research Institute at the National University of Natural Medicine (NUNM).

 

This presentation will highlight the results of this clinical registry, which has collected over 700 entries from a diverse group of TCIHM providers since March 2020, including over 300 cases from naturopathic doctors. The rationale for, and importance of, clinical registries will be shared, plus current data on the supportive contributions of TCIHM providers will be detailed, including contributions to public health education, disease surveillance, self-care/lifestyle management, and targeted care for immune support, inflammation, and respiratory health.  

 

Additional time will be spent discussing the long-term consequences of infection, and the promise of naturopathic therapeutics to help during convalescence and recovery.
