"Detoxifying the Body" Kalli Phillips, ND. Dr. Phillips is a primary care
naturopathic physician practicing at Village Health Services. She says:
"Inflammation plays a large role in many chronic diseases including
diabetes, heart disease, stroke, depression, obesity, and cancer.
Treating this inflammation begins with supporting the body's own ability to
manage it. This includes general detoxification as well as changing the
overall diet and lifestyle patterns so prevalent in our society. I have
seen many of these conditions reversed with strong commitment. Join us for
a basic discussion about inflammation and general ways to prevent it."
