Treatment
Custom designed treatments to match your specific health concerns and conditions.
Whole Health Naturopathic
Naturopathic medicine involves a functional medicine approach to healthcare, identifying the biochemical and physiological imbalances within the individual, and using natural, scientifically-proven solutions to rectify these imbalances. Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) focus on naturally occurring substances, minimally invasive methods, and the promotion of natural healing. They also emphasize illness prevention and a healthy diet and lifestyle.
Naturopathic Doctors focus not only on the symptoms but also the underlying conditions causing the symptoms. Naturopathic Doctors treat the root causes of disease and address preventable risk factors, using a wide range of science-and evidence-based, natural and conventional therapies.
Integrative Cancer Care
At Marsden Centre, we support patients who have been affected by cancer.
This can be pre and post-surgery, during conventional treatment, after conventional treatment and palliative care. Some potential benefits of the therapies we provide include: reduce side effects of and improve tolerance and efficacy of conventional treatment, increase survival and reduce rates of cancer recurrence, improved quality of life by increasing energy, reducing pain, improving appetite, etc. and education and support for patients and their family.
Environmental Medicine
Environmental medicine is a field of medicine concerned with the interaction between environmental toxins and our health. These toxins are found everywhere, in our food, water and air. Many of these chemicals build up and concentrate in our bodies, and get transferred to our children and future generations. Exposure to these toxins can lead to many problems with our immune system, nervous system and endocrine system. Some of the most common complaints of toxic burden include fatigue, headache and brain fog. Depending on the extent of exposure or the individual’s capacity to detoxify, toxicity can lead to more serious illnesses.
Marsden Centre can use various methods known to assist patients to eliminate contaminants that are persistent in the body. With the aid of technology, it is possible to measure the level of various contaminants present in an individual to determine the extent of toxin exposure and potential body burden.
Allergy Treatment
Sensitivity to various environmental (food, inhalants, etc.) and biological (bacteria, fungi, viruses) are common in patients with environmental illness.
At the Marsden Centre we utilize a variety of assessment tools and therapeutic strategies aimed at reducing the symptoms of allergic illness, but also reducing reactivity to allergens.
Traditional Chinese Medicine & Acupuncture
Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) views organ systems of human body as a collective, and that the health of each part of the body is related to one another. In the medical theory, there is a vital force (Qi) that drives the body.
Qi consists of two opposing but also mutually supporting components – yin and yang, which when in prefect balance the person experiences good health. Disease occurs when yin and yang become imbalanced due to factors such as poor sleep, stress, lack of good nutrition, and invasion of external pathogens.

Marsden Centre Mask Policy (effective June 10, 2022)
Effective June 11, 2022, the government of Ontario has removed the remaining mandatory mask policy for all higher risk settings except for long-term care homes. This includes hospitals, and medical clinics like ours. The Marsden Centre for Excellence in Integrative Medicine provides care for a diverse set of patients including many who are at high or very high risk of serious complications related to COVID 19 infection. To ensure all patients feel safe receiving care within our facility we will be maintaining our mandatory masking within the patient care and public areas of our facility for patients, staff, and contractors. Patients who have a medical exemption for mask wearing will be accommodating in the same manner as we have throughout the pandemic. This precautionary approach is consistent with other health care institutions like the University Health Network, Sunnybrook Hospital, Canadian College of Naturopathic Medicine, etc. We will be revaluating this policy monthly and will update you with changes to it when they happen.
