Currently she focuses on treatment of “untreatable” unusual illnesses and prevention of illness. She also supervises acupuncture and naturopathic students at her clinic.
Dr. Ambrose tries to utilize natural therapeutics as well as lifestyle counseling to address patient’s symptoms when they come. Patients’ pain leads them to discover their physical weakness, which can be countered by changing lifestyle. Illness can lead to a deeper understanding of self and if addressed appropriately prevent potentially fatal illnesses in the future. Illnesses like autoimmune disorders, neurological diseases, infections, chronic pain, can be treated gently and naturally without toxic medications. This takes support, encouragement by the physician, and determination on the patients’ part. Overall the most utilized medicine of all in her practice is love and laughter.
