L'Chaim! -- To Life Abundant!

Who Are We?

Hi! I'm Dr. Rick Sawyer, The Herb Doc.™ Welcome to our Web Site!

I am not a physician; I do not practice medicine; I do not offer medical opinion or advise; I do not diagnose, recommend, prescribe for, or offer treatments or cures for any disease conditions or illnesses.

"OK," someone might say. "Then why do you call yourself 'doctor'?"

The first annotation in the dictionary defines "doctor" as teacher (not as physician, as most of them would have us to erroneously believe)[1], and the word is appropriate for use as a title by any person who holds a doctoral degree (I hold two earned doctoral degrees). A "naturopath" is a teacher of natural means for enhancing health, wellness, and longevity. Naturopathy is not a system of medicine, diagnosis, or treatments such as are held by the medical societies, but a lifestyle of practices which builds immunity, improves mental health, and enhances body function. Our belief is that every person has the right to learn of the natural God-given, life-enhancing practices embodied in naturopathy which will help him/her maintain physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health.

I am a Naturopathic Practitioner, Certified Natural Health Professional (CNHP), and a member of the National Association of Certified Natural Health Professionals. I am also an herbalist, iridologist, electromagnetic therapist, and Nature's Sunshine Herb Specialist.² My doctoral degrees are in Theology (Th.D.) and Ministry (D.Min.), and not in any of the physical sciences.

First and foremost, I am a messenger of the Good News that Adonai Yeshua HaMashiach (Who is know to most non-Jewish people as the Lord Jesus Christ) loves you, and has a plan for your life that includes health and happiness, both in abundance. (For more information on the Messianic Restoration, please click here to visit our ministry web site.)

My wife, Barbara, is a Naturopathic Practitioner, Nature's Sunshine Herb Specialist, nutritionist, herbalist, iridologist, and aromatherapist. She is also a member of the National Association of Certified Natural Health Professionals. Every year, on an ongoing basis, we each spend well over 300 hours in continuing education to enable us to provide you with the best health information that we can. Our clinical practice includes naturopathy, Western, Chinese, and Ayurvedic herbology, iridology, nutritional counseling, aromatherapy, natural electromagnetic therapy, body reflexology, kinesiology and Contact Reflex Analysis, and Biblical family counseling. Please click here for more important information about our online services.

We are dedicated to helping you live a full and abundant life by providing education, information, and resources based upon the life principles found in the Word of God, foods from God's own storehouse, adequate exercise, rest, and relaxation in their proper balance, Biblical counseling, and techniques that allow God's most complex creation, the human body, to heal itself naturally. And we proudly offer what we believe are the two finest lines of all-natural nutritional supplements that money can buy: Nature's Sunshine Products and  Pure Herbs liquid herbal extracts.
