Welcome to Red Cedar Health

NATUROPATHIC MEDICINE

Naturopathic Physicians have extensive training in Western medicine (including Pharmaceutical medications), Nutrition, Herbal Medicine, Chinese Medicine, and Homeopathic Medicine. Some skills and certifications are acquired outside the regular Naturopathic Colleges. Red Cedar Health adds Prolotherapy, Ozone and other oxidative therapies, Chelation and other intravenous therapies, and Lyme disease treatment to the list of extra skills and certifications.

Dr. Walter Fernyhough, NDNaturopathic Physician

OUR THERAPIES

IV Therapies (including Chelation)

IV therapies consist of combinations of carrier solutions, vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, amino acids, and detox factors tailored to balance the body and it’s individual needs. Chelation therapy consists of an IV with a chelating agent called EDTA, vitamins, minerals, and other beneficial substances. It is used to pull heavy metals from the body and treat cardiovascular disorders.

PROLOTHERAPY & PRP

Prolotherapy consists of the injection of a proliferant solution into joints, ligaments, or tendons to activate the body’s ability to regenerate and restructure connective tissue to its pre-injury state. Variations on simple prolotherapy, and practiced at Red Cedar Health, include ozone and platelet-rich plasma (PRP) (note: PRP is presently not allowed in Alberta for injections other than IV due to government oversight, but hopefully this will be resolved soon)

BIO-IDENTICAL HORMONES

Dr. Fernyhough was one of the foremost experts on hormone therapy in the Fraser Valley. He is extensively trained in the use of bio-identical hormones and their use in PMS, fertility, pre-menopause, and post menopausal issues for women, prostate and quality of life issues for men, and libido, sexual performance, and anti-ageing issues for both women and men. Unfortunately, Alberta naturopathic doctors do not have prescribing rights so, as an Alberta licensed naturopathic doctor Dr. Fernyhough no longer has the ability to prescribe hormones to his patients

OZONE THERAPY

Ozone therapy comes in many forms and treats many conditions. It can clear infections inside the body and on the skin. It can increase the strength of the immune system and the circulatory system when given internally, and can heal ulcers, burns, herpes sores, and many other skin conditions when used externally. Dr. Fernyhough performs many forms of ozone therapy including musculoskeletal ozone for joint, tendon, and ligament injuries, and 10 pass IV ozone for chronic illness.

LYME DISEASE

Lyme disease and co-infections have become a major issue in many parts of the world, including Alberta. While most of the medical associations in the US and Canada are ignoring or denying the existence of chronic Lyme disease, some individual clinics, such as Red Cedar Health, are aggressively working towards successful treatment of those long suffering with this disease.
