Treatments Naturopaths Use - TruMed Clinic Edmonton

Nutritional Medicine

As a naturopath, Dr Muradov's practice is heavily rooted in Nutritional Medicine - which is based on dietary modifications and the administration of nutrients (vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other endogenously occuring substances).

First, our Naturopaths are able to do precise dietary modifications at our clinic because we use three seperate types of food testing - IgG4, Total IgG and IgE testing to allow us to make extremely individualized recommendations.

Dr Muradov heavily relies upon the use of nutrient supplementation to help his patients which is in essence Orthomolecular medicine - providing the optimum nutritional environment for celullar function.

Furthermore some nutrients have pharmacologic actions in particular doses that exceeds their normal roles in the body. For instance, although Vitamin C is considered an immune booster in low doses, as the dose increases, Vitamin C has a separate anti-viral effect.

By using Nutritional Medicine treatments, it allows your TruMed Naturopath to practice effective Modern Functional Medicine

Dr Muradov heavily uses Nutritional Medicine at our Naturopath Clinic because results can be superb and the evidence base (supporting studies) is vast.

Herbal Medicine

Dr Muradov uses herbal medicine as part of his Naturopathic practice because they are:

1) Effective
2) Safe
3) Well Researced

Efficacy: Herbal Medicine can be extremely efficacious in a number of areas. Many Naturopaths use herbal treatments. At our clinic our Naturopaths use herbs for mood (depression & anxiety), sleep, stress, energy, heart health, infections, endocrinology, pain and cancer.

Safety: Herbal medicines are typically extremely safe treatment even at high doses. Adverse effects are rarely reported in clinical trials for many common botanicals. Your Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed are trained to anticipate if there will be interactions between your current medications and any suggested herbal interventions. 

Research: Many Botanical medicines our Naturopaths use have clinical trials to support their use. For example, at the clinic we often recommend Rhodiola Rosea for stress and mood which has two clinical trials (2007 and 2009) demonstrating benefit in stress and anti-depressant effects for mood. Many of the Botanicals we use at TruMed are evidence based, however, occasionally a Botanical may be recommended by your Naturopath based on its historical uses (because sometimes you gotta be old school!)

IV Therapy

Naturopathic Doctors at TruMed love IV Therapy. Because frankly, it's the best.

Dr Muradov actually received his IV Therapy certification as a Naturopathic student and was able to start recommending IV Treatments even then, and he has stayed current with IV Therapy attending many advanced Naturopathic IV Therapy seminars.

IV Therapy is: accurate, effective and safe and can gets results extremely quickly. 

Accurate: Our Naturopaths can deliver precise doses of key nutrients directly into the blood with guaranteed 100% absorption which is not the case with oral supplements.

Effective: Nutrients delivered by IV route can often get our patients excellent effects where oral supplementation was ineffective especially for energy or mood.  

Safe: Although invasive, IV therapy is extremely safe when proper doses and administation rates are used with very low rates of adverse effects. Your TruMed Naturopaths have administered thousands of IVs will an extremely small incidence of adverse effects over a 9 year period.

Rapid effect: IV Therapy can often provide a profound effect for many conditions within 24 hours especially for energy & mood (two most common reasons we administer IV treatments).
