Dr. N. Rowan Richards was recently awarded the distinction of being invited to become a Fellow in the International College of Chiropractors. An invitation to Fellowship is issued only after a vigorous investigation of a doctor who has been nominated for the honor, and only one such invitation is offered. Last year, Dr. Richards was elected to The Distinguished Chiropractor's of
America. Only 100 doctors per year, from each state are offered this honor. She is one of the one hundred chiropractors from the state of California to be awarded this national recognition.
Dr. Richards is a Diplomate of the American Board of Chiropractic Internists, a certified herbalist, and a Fellow of the International Academy of Clinical Acupuncture. She teaches professionals, lectures, and is currently working on several books.
Dr. Richards has been in practice for over seventeen years, providing caring, individualized, and complete alternative health care to her select patients in the Los Angeles area.
A visit to Dr. Richards is equivalent to seeing five different doctors! She is one of the few health care professionals who truly believes in taking time with her patients. Dr. Richards provides a standard of care that is refreshingly "old fashioned."

There is a major threat to the health of the American public: The number of doctors who "know" you can't get better.
After all, their textbooks and their training say so.The whole point of making a diagnosis is so that the doctor will "know" the course and prognosis of your condition. Nowhere is this more true than in neurology, cardiology and oncology, although examples of this type of thinking exist in other specialties as well.
Hello. I am Dr. N. Rowan Richards.
I believe that a major portion of the healing process is in the exchange between the doctor's intent and the patient's response. If your doctor "knows" that you cannot get well, how can you fight that? After all, he or she is the expert.
But we don't train doctors to be healers. We train them to be technicians. We have lost sight of the miracle that is our body's self-healing mechanism. Believe me, if your body were unable to heal itself, no surgeon would dare to make the first incision. Yet, in medical practice, the focus is on the razzle-dazzle of the machines and technology, rather than on the simple miracle that is the resilience of the human organism.
I hope that this attitude will change. As long as we train our doctors to believe that we know everything about a familiar condition, like polio, then we have closed the doors of possibility. There is no room for another, perhaps better, model.
