Dr. Robert M. Myers, N.D.  Hi.
I hope the information and therapies this site offers prove to be part of the approach you
choose for the treatment of your condition and result in improvement.
Here's the shortened version, even I get overwhelmed with all of the
details of my journey to this point.After years of living and playing pretty hard in the woods of Alaska, following my premed education, I decided it was time to continue my education. My life in the woods had deepened my connection with nature including using plants as medicines. As a result of all I had experienced I knew an education in conventional, allopathic, medicine would not hold my interest long. It was fortunate that at this juncture I discovered there was an alternative approach to the study and practice of medicine. So, I sold the log house I had built in the woods and headed down to the lower 48 to study naturopathic medicine. The education was great but city-life wasn't feeding my soul and I had envisioned moving back to the woods in Alaska. Upon graduating in 1983, from NCNM, with a solid education but a lack of confidence in being able to apply it to patients, I decided to stay in the clinic at the school and practice for a year with Dr. Andre Saine N. D./D.C. I probably knew before the end of that year but really realized it then, I was somehow destined to share what I had learned and would continue to learn with people in need. O.K. having a wife and a 2 year old son may have put the bear trap (a soft, gentle, loving one) on the leg of the wilderness-man fantasy. Over the next 20 plus years I had medical practices in Alaska (a brief stint at trying to have it all) in Prescott AZ. and Montana (a recent attempt at having it all again). My main practice is in Prescott where the clinic is shared among 4 naturopaths. The focus of my practice has been good old naturopathic medicine with a strong emphasis on homeopathy and manipulation. The evolution of the practice and my love of children has, in the past few years, led to a more pediatric focus. Another change in focus has present itself recently. Three years ago I developed the symptoms of Lyme disease. After 2 years of looking for a diagnosis, while steadily getting worse, I finally, with the help of my sister who does research with the CA Dept. of Health (Food and Drug Branch), made the diagnosis. Unfortunately you may know this story way too intimately. I had seen 5 M.D.s two of which are neurologists (one a young doc at Mayo who in retrospect I think should have been aware of my classic Lyme symptoms) and 2 N.D.s. Of course I had all of the high-tech tests, all normal, and was told I may have M.S., a neurovirus, small fiber autonomic nerve disease, very rare (this of course from the Mayo doc who was very thorough and recently educated on such obscurities). It is understandable to miss the diagnosis in Arizona as Lyme was not very prevalent, or so I thought before I had "new eyes". But part of the picture is that I, and most of us, travel all around the country and could pick up an infected biting bug anywhere. Now, I am back at the office and playing again. It has been difficult, requiring diligence and commitment to a treatment plan which took a deal of effort to research and create. I am now seeing patients with Lyme and similarly presenting illnesses as well as my young patients with their variety of conditions. Almost forgot; 56 years old, married, 2 children, loves to hike, bike ride, fish, play guitar, woodwork, hug our daughter (6 years old), and create this website with my son (26). |
