Basis for my practice:
"First Do No Harm" The foundation of The Hippocratic Oath and
The Basis Of Naturopathic Medicine.
I first began to study and understand the principles of laws
of healing in 1991 when I was faced with serious health challenges. During this journey, I was introduced to and began studying herbs, nutrition and the various methods that nature has provided for humans to access, heal and maintain health. I became intrigued by the healing process that was taking place in my body within a three-month period. I was experiencing wellness, energy and various positive changes. Health is dependent upon the daily practice of adhering to the laws of health and healing, and illness and disease is the result of violating these natural laws.

I am dedicated to "Your" health newborns to seniors.
Finally our PCP referred her to a rheumatologist even though her blood work was in the normal range (PCP) was looking for signs of Crone's disease or lupus. Our PCP thought we were hypochondriacs and made us feel like we were crazy!) The rheumatologist diagnosed her with fibromyalgia. I was elated!!! Finally, a doctor could help her. Well, he sent her home with some literature, an order for blood work to be taken in a couple of months and told her to take extra calcium, a good vitamin, and heat/Tylenol PM for pain. Nothing changed except for the fact that I had a name for what she had.
Medical Weight Loss
I went to HALT for laser therapy for weight loss since I have become so frustrated that I could not lose a single pound these days. Included with the therapy was this Isagenix 9 day cleanse. Almost immediately I could tell that I was felling different. The brain fog has been lifted, I feel so clean and focused or shall I say "I feel fantastic". The inches are coming off faster than the pounds and I did lose 6 lbs in 9 days. My clothes are fitting so much better. In addition I would like to say that coffee doesn't appeal to me any longer and that green tea is more satisfying to me now and more to my liking.
Nutritional Counseling
As an N.D., Sandi is trained in the areas of anatomy and physiology, counseling, diet and nutrition, herbology, accupressure, homeopathy, iridology, and other forms of therapy that emphasize the use of natural agents. She has a deepened appreciation for how social, physiological, emotional and spiritual factors affect the person as a whole. Her personal style of caring assists her approach to analysis and healing. Sandi recognizes the body's ability to heal itself and encourages a healthy lifestyle. By offering the appropriate advice she acts as a coach to guide clients to change unhealthy patterns and accept responsibility for their own well being.
Smoking Cessation
I am a Registered Naturopath and a member of CNHP Certified Natural Health Professionals and AANC American Association of Nutritional Consultants. I have a clinical certification in Integrative Reflex Analysis through Advanced Integrative Medical Institute in Washington, D.C. As a certified laser technician, I was trained and licensed by Matrix Institute of Laser Therapy in Windsor, Ontario for smoking cessation, weight loss, stress management, and alcohol and substance abuse.
Ear Infections
There was a constant severe burning pain in my right jaw for three days. I wasn't eating or sleeping. Three Advil (600 mg.) did not touch the pain. A dentist found nothing wrong and a physician found no sinus, throat or ear infection. He was puzzled and sent me out the door with Darvocet to control the pain and referred me to a specialist. Instead I had a consultation with Dr. Sandi and followed her suggestion of taking a few squirts of Biomune Express. Five minutes later to my complete amazement I was pain free!
Naturopathic doctors are trained specialists in a separate and distinct healing art which uses non-invasive natural medicine. They are not orthodox medical doctors (M.D.s). Naturopathic doctors (N.D.s) are conventionally trained in subjects such as anatomy, physiology, counseling, dietary evaluations, nutrition, herbology, acupressure, muscle relaxation and structural normalization, homeopathy, iridology, exercise therapy. Some practitioners are also trained in additional specialties such as acupuncture or natural childbirth.
Carol was diagnosed by her medical Doctor with Multiple Sclerosis. Her symptoms were spinal pain, impaired hearing and vision to where she could not see to drive. In addition to pain, Carol had ordered hearing aids. She chose not to suppress her immune system further by using the strong medication to be administered by injection and came to see me. Within a period of six weeks, she was symptom free and cancelled the hearing aids. In addition to this life changing experience, Carol went one step further and completed a four week Tobacco Detox Program and has been "smoke free" for six months now.
Naturopathic doctors are aware that a person can have a physical, spiritual, or emotional illness. The chosen therapy is determined by what kind of problem the person is experiencing. You can not be well or healthy if you have a spiritual or mental problem even if you appear perfectly fit. Naturopaths use various counseling, stress management and bio-feedback techniques for those experiencing emotional or spiritual problems. Most naturopathic practitioners are capable of also using Biblical counseling as restorative therapy. Reading the writings of the fathers of naturopathy, you will find they were Godly people who recognized the Creator and gave Him the honor for all healing.
Leslie is a beautiful 44 year old lady who had been a breast cancer patient with reconstructive surgery. One year later, her Doctor told her that the cancer had returned. Remembering the trauma of it all, Leslie did not want any part of that. She felt cheated and lied to. She came to see me the following day to schedule an appointment. She was frightened and suicidal. There was a remarkable change in her after our initial consultation just knowing there was an alternative. I spent quite some time talking to her. Two weeks into the program, Leslie had a very positive attitude and 4 months into her program, what had been recognized as cancer was no longer there. Leslie experienced healing with very little pain and was strong emotionally. Because she is so strong willed, she progressed at a rather fast pace, she exerted more energy and felt less fatigue and soon was taking on more responsibility and handling them well. Leslie now has plans to be living her dream in the near future.
Dr. Sandi, I wanted to share something with you. Since Trevor showers himself I haven't checked his skin in a while until last night when he needed me in the bathroom after his shower. I was amazed when I saw his skin was 100% clear, he did not have one patch of "eczema" or scaling that he has been so miserable with for years. His skin hasn't been this clear since he was probably a year old! When I pointed it out to him, he realized that he can't remember the last time he was itchy at night. I'm guessing those pesky parasites finally met their match! Thank you so much for helping him.
Fungus
During the last 10 years of my life, going through menopause and having numerous weight issues, I become so tired and so run down trying to run my small business of 15 years. I was so wore out and just could not keep up with it. I had multiple bladder problems getting up at night 6 times to go to the bathroom and, constant back pain with no relief. I finally sought the help of Dr. Sandi. I made my appointment with Dr. Sandi and was found to have a severe overgrowth of yeast and fungus throughout my body, mainly focusing on my bladder and kidneys. Several days later after starting my regimen of KM solution, I felt like a fog had been lifted. I could think clearly again, I felt alive and awake and I was starting to sleep longer than 2-hour intervals. By the end of my second 4-week checkup with Dr. Sandi, much to her surprise and mine as well, I had no yeast left and all my body signals were strong. I was sleeping, hiking, exercising, had dropped 10 pounds and I feel like a new person. I spent the last 10 years of my life thinking it was all due to just the "Change of Life". My KM Solution is like a Miracle Cure for me. It keeps me motivated and energized. Dr. Sandi, I cannot thank you enough for giving me back my quality of life!! Oh and my Corgi thanks you too, the KM solution is helping his arthritis in his hips while hiking. I am so grateful to you for your help and inspiration.

My podiatrist determined that I had a bone spur that curled around like ram's horns, and needed surgery to repair and restore my full range of motion. I came to Dr. Kuglics to explain my situation and she recommended some products to keep me in balance before and after my foot surgery.
