CHS received two announcements this week from alternative health providers setting up new practices on Broadway — one at All Pilgrim’s Church, the other inside the office space of the Broadway Building:

Dr. Jake Felice, N.D., is pleased to announce the opening of his Naturopathic Pain Clinic in Seattle, Washington. The Seattle-based medical office is located in the Capitol Hill area, at and Dr. Felice has begun seeing patients at his new location this spring.
The clinic offers holistic solutions for patients suffering from chronic pain and disease. Services include therapeutic bodywork, shiatsu acupressure, cranial sacral, pre & post surgical consultations, and the recommendation of medical cannabis to qualifying patients. Dr. Felice’s clinical approach blends traditional healing practices with the best of modern science.
Dr. Felice’s office consultations provide each patient with an in-depth analysis of their condition, the application of manual medicine, and recommendations for the use of natural therapies as they relate specifically to each individual. Dr. Felice is also a specialist on the use of medical cannabis and offers his patients videos and information on his blog http://www.drjakefelice.com/blog/ including his “medical marijuana minutes” to help them understand the peer reviewed research on medical cannabis.
“We are proud to offer this new resource to the Capitol Hill area,” says Dr. Felice. “We hope that patients who are seen here will continue to spread the word about the healing power of science-based natural medicine.”
Meanwhile, you might remember Katie Stickney’s past contributions on spirituality here on CHS. She sent along this note about her new space at All Pilgrims where she’ll be offering counseling on a sliding scale pricing program.
All Pilgrims Christian Church recently welcomed new tenant Katie Stickney, MA, LMHCA, who will be offering individuals and couples counseling on a sliding scale Wednesdays through Fridays. Katie, a licensed therapist and a United Methodist deacon, offers counseling that is sensitive to spiritual questions as well as other issues such as gender and sexuality, grief and loss, trauma, anxiety and depression, eating and body image issues, and substance abuse recovery.
Like All Pilgrims Christian Church itself, Katie respects and welcomes people from all walks of life. She provides compassionate therapy to all people, regardless of race, gender, age, sexual orientation, economic circumstance, family structure, disability, or any other status. Katie also works with clients from a variety of faith traditions, including atheist and agnostic individuals. “Whoever you are, wherever you come from, whatever you believe; you are welcome in my office.”

“We hope that patients who are seen here will continue to spread the word about the healing power of science-based natural medicine.”
And, by “science-based” we mean magical.
“Science-based” nonscience.
Interesting commerce.

We mean science based.
Modern pharmaceutical medicine is failing miserably in the treatment of long term chronic disease, which respond to natural therapeutics. In the US, these chronic diseases are the principal cause of death and disability, and consumes 78% of health expenditures. Moreover, overwhelming evidence from various sources—including prospective cohort, epidemiological, and intervention studies—links most chronic diseases seen in the world today to natural medicine protocols.
Pharmaceutical based approaches contain many RISKS including toxicity. For example, tylenol, when PROPERLY used sends 50,000 patients a year to the emergency department, in most cases with liver and kidney damage.
Plant based medicines such as cannabis offer an extremely low-toxic alternative to pharmaceuticals such as opiates that is science based. In the peer reviewed literature, there is a continuous recurrence of analgesic action since the very inception of the studies on cannabis. Additionally, nobody has to date died from overdose of cannabis. The same cannot be said of tylenol, oxycodone, and whole host of other pharmaceutical agents.
We mean science based. And not rabidly driven by the pursuit of profit as in the case of much the medical pharmaceutical industry.

It’s nice to have you in the neighborhood. :)
Agreed!
Yes, I agree the science supports thousands upon thousands of years of research into the healing qualities of many natural plant based medicine.
Many pharmaceuticals derive their healing qualities from plants (for free) in a notorious practice called biopiracy (stealing biological genes and patenting them for personal profit). Also over 100,000 people die annually from properly prescribed and properly taken “science” based pharmaceuticals.
Therefore the only thing I find a fairytale is the idea that we can ignore our diets and lifestyles and that a “magic pharmaceutical pill” will save us all from our ills.
Good to have you in the hood Dr. Jake!
Welcome! Only thing better than having the freedom of choice is having good alternative options to choose to the two practices mentioned.
