Dr. Bill Bailey has both a Ph.D. in Theology and a Doctorate in Naturopathy. He is not an "M.D.," nor does he diagnose, or treat, disease. Upon losing 162 lbs. on a low carbohydrate diet, his interest in, and studies of, natural health issues increased. He began to see that diet and lifestyle can make a tremendous difference in one's personal health and well-being. This led him to pursue certification as a Certified Natural Health Professional by the National Association of Certified Natural Health Professionals. The CNHP program required sixty-five live class hours of instruction and four certification exams. Dr. Bailey then continued his health studies and became a Naturopathic Doctor. He has also earned his Certification as a Naturopath by the American Naturopathic Medical Certification and Accreditation Board, and is a Professional Member of the American Association of Nutritional Consultants, as well as a Professional Member of the Coalition for Natural Health.

A classical naturopath specializes in wellness. That is to say, teaching clients how applying natural lifestyle approaches can act to facilitate the body's healing and health building potential. The classical naturopath does not undertake to diagnose or treat disease but recognizes that the majority of sub-health conditions are cumulative effects. Also, the underlying cause of disease is improper diet, unhealthy habits, and environmental factors that cause biological imbalances leading to a weakening of the body's defenses and subsequent breakdown in health.

Disease is nothing more than a manifestation of our body trying to correct imbalances. Imbalances due to faulty nutritional patterns, improper rest, stress management and other lifestyle considerations, which, over time, result in a weakening of the body. By the time disease appears on the scene it is very late in the game.

Our body tells us early on when there is a problem. We can either respond to this message, or try to suppress the symptoms that the body uses to tell us there is a problem. You can take ibuprofen, or other drugs, to suppress the symptoms and they will help for a short time. However, unless the underlying problem is corrected, eventually the symptoms will no longer be helped by these drugs and one will need to take stronger and stronger drugs to quiet the body's message. If the underlying problem has not been addressed, the body will begin to break down structurally. At this time, modern medicine is finally capable of diagnosing that something is really wrong and offer interventions to fix the structure, but still, medical doctors fail to address the underlying problem. Naturopathy concentrates on identifying destructive aspects in lifestyles that lead to imbalances. Before symptoms manifest and long before a diagnosis can be rendered, these destructive aspects of our lifestyle can be identified and corrected. Once corrected, the body automatically corrects itself. Diagnosing disease and illness is totally unnecessary to correcting the underlying problems that result in disease and illness. A true healer does not waste his time concentrating on naming diseases but rather on identifying those underlying factors, that if not addressed, result in the manifestation of disease and illness. These factors can be identified and corrected long before it is even possible to make any diagnosis. Even after a diagnosis is made, the same concepts of healing used by classical naturopaths are equally effective because once balance is restored the body automatically heals itself.

This chart illustrates clearly the difference between a Medical Doctor and a Naturopath:

It is Dr. Bailey's personal conviction that all healing and health is a blessing of the Lord. We can greatly enhance our health by being good stewards of the physical body that we have been given.
