"Treat the patient, not the disease."

    I first started seeing Dr. B in February and really can't say enough good
    things about my experience.  At the time of my first visit, I had been very
    sick for over ten years with what became increasingly life-threatening in
    the last 2 years.  Through the years, I had been to M.D.'s of all flavors
    and colors, D.O.'s, acupuncturists, herbalists.....you name it, I had done
    it!  I had an exhausted lists of tests and protocols that had failed to
    help.  There was even a considerable amount of self-teaching with
    regard to nutrition and health as well.  Still, no one could help me and
    despite all of our efforts, I grew sicker.  When I went to see Dr. B for the
    first time, I truly felt like he was my last hope.  

    My complicated case involved so many organ systems and advanced
    manifestations of illness that it was clear time was of the essence in
    beginning to halt and reverse the cascading process of disease.  What
    I first realized about Dr. Butchart was his inexhaustible capacity for
    listening to me with genuine care and compassion.  And really
    listening.  After listening intently, he delivered with clarity what would
    turn out to be an uncannily accurate description of what he thought was
    behind my illness.  At that time it was only a theory, but as we ordered
    the appropriate tests it became obvious that he had actually nailed
    down what many other specialists and doctors had failed to see.

    I am currently experiencing health that I have not felt in so long that I
    can't seem to remember when!  I am still pinching myself to see if this
    is a dream.  What I truly appreciate about Dr. Butchart's approach is not
    only its unbelievable effectiveness, but its truly holistic objective.  As a
    doctor, he has what I would call a "rare" talent at balancing the best of
    many medical worlds.  He has an extensive knowledge of herbs,
    nutrition, homeopathy, and emotional components of illness.  He
    employs pharmaceutical drugs when appropriate in such an artful way
    so as to gain their maximum benefit without relying on them to
    oversimplify and ignore a chronic disease.  

    Although this is only the tip of the iceberg of what I would have to say in
    favor of Dr. Butchart as a physician, healer, and helper, I hope it is
    enough for you to feel confident that by scheduling an appointment you
    may in fact be making a very wise decision in terms of resolving your
    health concerns.

    "My idea of what a physician should truly be."

    Dear Editor,

    This past summer I attended a Chrysalis presentation in Waynesboro,
    [VA] where a Naturopathic Physician was speaking. In passing, he
    mentioned that chronic sinus problems could be easily treated. I had
    read that homeopathy was able to successfully treat many chronic
    conditions, and since I had a longstanding sinus condition that several
    conventional physicians had been unable to remedy, I consulted Dr.
    Butchart. After the first treatment, the most serious symptoms were
    alleviated. After the second treatment, the condition was almost
    completely gone. My quality of life has been markedly improved and I
    want to alert others to the possibility that they don't have to live with
    worrisome conditions that haven't responded to conventional
    approaches. Fully trained Naturopathic Physicians are fully accredited
    physicians who are holistic and can call upon a range of drug-free
    treatments. They are my idea of what a physician should truly be.

    "With expert care and guidance, my health has improved
    enormously."

    Lifelong allergies, chronic constipation, recurrent sinus and yeast
    infections...I'm a doctor's nightmare. But the good Naturopathic Doctor
    at Virginia Natural Health didn't brush off my dis-ease. They embraced
    it. Now thanks to them, I'm living a more productive life. And, with less
    prescription drugs! It's hard to believe that my health could actually
    improve. But it has.  My Naturopathic Doctor wanted more for me than
    to control my symptoms. He wanted me symptom free. How refreshing!
    With his expert care and guidance, my health has improved
    enormously. We're getting to the bottom of my health challenges, not
    just masking them with drugs. Now I have a chance to live a fuller life!

    "The care and attention you have given to my family is just
    what I had always wished for in healthcare providers but
    have never experienced until now."

    To the fine Doctor at Virginia Natural Health, Thank you so much for the
    very effective care you have given to my 14 year-old son. The
    homeopathic remedy that you prescribed for him had a drastic and
    lasting effect on his life. He has become a much more enjoyable
    person to live with. The care and attention you have given to my family
    is just what I had always wished for in healthcare providers but have
    never experienced until now.
