Treatment Philosophy For over 2 decades, Dr. Glidden has been treating people around the world with Naturopathic therapeutics including Homeopathy, Medical Nutrition, Heavy Metal Chelation, Detoxification, Herbal Medicine and Bio-identical Hormone Supplementation. Dr. Glidden's current treatment protocols, perfected over 2 decades of clinical work, are unique in the field of Naturopathic medicine. He is the only physician in the world to combine Classical Homeopathy, Medical Nutrition, and Comprehensive Clinical Diet protocols.
All of Dr. Glidden's treatments are science-based and clinically verified. He does not use any "black box" unproven diagnostic techniques, nor any therapeutics that are experimental. He relies on time-tested, science based, clinically verified, safe and effective treatment protocols to help his patients/clients to recover their health.
Dr. Glidden's work is "results oriented," and his patients/clients are always given a time-frame inside of which they will work to secure noticeable and measurable results. None of Dr. Glidden's treatment protocols are "open-ended."
If you become a patient/client of Dr. Glidden, you will be given a homeopathic treatment, a nutritional supplement program, and be asked to alter your diet according to specific guidelines. Most programs for chronic illness initially take 3 months, and involve 8 office visits. Prices vary depending on too many variables to predict. In the Initial Office Visit ($55 - 30 minutes), Dr. Glidden will take a look at your health history, and then determine the approximate cost (and time frame) of your health-recovery program. You can then decide if you want to engage his services and move forward.

Homeopathy Homeopathy is considered the "mother" of wholistic medical treatments in the western hemisphere. It is over 200 years old, and was started in Germany by Dr. Christian Friedrich Samuel Hahnemann in the mid 18th century. The history of Homeopathic medicine in the United States is a "tell-all" about the relationship between corporate power and medical evolution. Most people assume that MD directed medicine (allopathic medicine) is the "top-dog" in the modern world because it is better, more proven and more scientific than its competitors (chiropractic, naturopathic, homeopathic, etc). This is not the case. MD directed medicine is the top dog today because of financial and political alliances that were struck in the early 1900's, and that persist to this day. An excellent book on the evolution of medicine in the US is: Rockefeller - Medicine Men, by E Richard Brown. Homeopathic medicine was widely practiced in the united States in the 18th and 19th centuries. At the beginning of the 20th century, Homeopathic medical schools and hospitals could not compete with their MD rivals, who were aggressively funded by prescription drug cartels owned by the Carnegies and Rockefellers. As a result of being out-funded, the last true homeopathic medical school closed in the US in 1920. It is a different story in Europe, however, as Homeopathic medicine is much more widespread there than it is in the US, with the Royal Physician to the Queen of England being a homeopathic doctor.
The only medical schools that still offer instruction in homeopathic therapeutics are the Naturopathic Medical Schools.
Dr. Glidden practices classical Hahnemannian homeopathy, using single remedies given over time, according to the presenting signs and symptoms of the patient/client. Over the last 2 decades, Dr Glidden has studied homeopathy with Dr Andrew Lange ND, Dr. Joel Shepperd MD, Tim Fior MD, and Jeremy Schorr Rs Hom.

Naturopathy The most rapidly growing system of medicine in the United States, Naturopathy offers a science based, clincally verified alternative to the reductionistic, pharmaceutical-based treatments used by MD's. If you are tired and frustrated with the drug and surgery treatments offered by your MD. If you are actively looking for a physician directed non-drug treatment to help you recover your health, then naturopathic medicine is just what the doctor ordered.
Naturopathic philosophy argues that the body has built in self healing properties, which once properly nutrified and stimulated, can bring about profound healing whether the complaint be physical, mental or emotional.
Naturopathic physicians are trained (4 years) at fully accredited medical schools, and must pass national and state board exams and pursue continuing education credits to hold a license to practice naturopathic medicine. For a comparison of the curricula of Naturopathic vs. allopathic medical schools, click here.
The practice of Naturopathic medicine in the US is currently regulated and licensed in 19 states. Depending on local state's law, Naturopathic physicians may be allowed to deliver babies, perform minor surgery, order any diagnostic test currently available, provide IV treatment, write prescriptions for most drugs, work in hospitals, and have their services covered by insurance.
