Dr David
Dr. David Fialkoff, N.D. has practiced naturopathic, alternative medicine for almost twenty years. In addition to his naturopathic doctorate he has a B.S. in Agriculture and Natural Resources.
(Naturopathic medicine requires a four-year, post-graduate education very similar to standard medical school except that it teaches the use of therapies which stimulate and strengthen the body's own detoxification and healing abilities. These therapies include, nutrition, herbalism, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, live food therapy, manipulation, massage and more.)
Dr. Fialkoff was licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Naturopathic Doctor in 1983. He opened Natural Medical Service, a general, private practice in West Hartford, Connecticut helping to pioneer the spread of alternative medicine in the northeast. He has worked extensively with HIV/AIDS patients as well as with elderly immigrant and inner city populations.
Dr David established Bald Mountain Retreat in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom as a place where people could be immersed in natural lifestyle and alternative medicine. "People need to get away from it all to rebalance. Great things can happen in an office visit, but miracles take place at Bald Mountain Retreat."
Dr. Dave took an interest in health and spirituality from his youth, becoming a vegetarian and studying eastern spirituality, in particular yoga and Zen from his early teens. Seeking truth, he combined his spiritual practices with a study of the natural sciences, eventually enrolling in naturopathic medical school.
Dr. Dave has been a student of Kabbalah for twenty years. Kabbalah teaches that human body, psychology and soul are all reflections of universal patterns underlying and permeating the world.
Synthesizing eastern and western spirituality with naturopathic philosophy, Dr. Dave demonstrates that health is achieved through aligning our beings with the universal, natural order. "Health is the easy way. There's nothing more natural or fulfilling. It's like coming home. Your body, mind and spirit say, 'Thank you.'"
Dr. David has authored (see Writings ), The Repertory of the Mind , The Mystical Affirmations of Israel, Kabbalah Healing; Descent for the Purpose of Ascent and a children's book Sally Sue Simpson. He is currently at work on another book, Ways to Save Your Life.
Dr. Fialkoff is an entertaining, articulate speaker and guide and an attentive host. He takes great delight in exposing the simple solutions which underlie complex problems, empowering people through understanding and practice to live healthier, happier lives. Contact Dr. Dave.
