Biography
Providing naturopathic healthcare in an integrated setting, employing preventive and noninvasive protocols for the prevention of disease through drugless therapies.
A Naturopathic general practitioner specializing in integrative European biological medicine providing full service clinical healthcare. Former professor of pre-med and nursing Anatomy.
Doctors practicing integrative biological medicine view our role as primary, and allopathic medicine as a necessary but secondary emergency response. It is ALL doctors’ jobs to educate society and to encourage everyone to take responsibility for one’s own health, and that managing it preventively is a better lifestyle than responding to symptoms requiring emergency medical responses.
Even then biological medicine has an excellent record of responding to symptoms to relieve the suffering while guiding the body’s ability to heal. This approach requires a broad range of knowledge and an understanding that all diseases are multi-causal and, as a result of a change in the internal milieu.

Increased Kidney Function and Normalized Blood Pressure in CKD Patient
Charles Lewis, ND, Mountain Home, AR, May 2018
A 75-year-old male patient presented with frequent urination, joint aches, low energy, lower extremity edema, anemia, and high blood pressure of 159/81. The patient had a history of bladder infections stemming from the Vietnam War. He had been diagnosed with retinitis pigmentosa, congestive heart failure with 2 previous carotid surgeries on the right side, and stage 4 chronic kidney disease. Bloodwork on September 18th, 2017 showed GFR at 19, calcium at 9.8, BUN at 68 and creatinine at 3.02. The primary care physician was addressing his conditions through 3 blood pressure medications (metolazone, metoprolol, amlodipine), 4 urinary retention medications (furosemide, terazosin, tamsulosin, finasteride), and a statin (Lipitor) for his heart. The patient was likely soon going to be recommended dialysis and was looking for a solution to enhance his quality of life.
On Oct. 26th, 2017, the patient started Wei Kidney Institute Chronic Kidney Disease treatment protocol. The treatment protocol helps increase microcirculation, restore kidney filtration capability, reduce kidney inflammation, and repair the kidney structure which then leads to improved function. The treatment protocol also helps improve red blood cells production, and remove plagues and repair artery damage. Within one month, the patient had reported having higher energy levels. The patient did lose some weight, but Dr. Lewis suspected the initial weight loss could be due to improved kidney function and its ability to filter out waste better.
The patient continued on 3 more months of the same protocol. On February 28th, 2018, the patient reported having the best sleep he has had in a long time. He had been experiencing pain with the left hip due to the cold and damp weather and Dr. Lewis suggested to add additional Wei Kidney Institute herbal formula to help provide blood flow and increased nutrient supply to the area. On March 1st, 2018, Blood work showed increased GFR at 29, decreased calcium at 9.2, decreased BUN at 50.14 and decreased creatinine at 2.18. The patient’s blood pressure was also measured in the normal range at 108/63. He also reported gaining 4 lbs. Due to these improvements, Dr. Lewis suggested the patient be on 2/3 dose of the original protocol starting April and the patient is looking forward to checking in with his primary care physician in hopes of removing or lowering his blood pressure medications.
