Some patients choose to work with Dr. Malik as their primary healthcare provider while others use his services as a consultant or specialist in addition to their standard medical care.
Doctor Malik sees patients with a variety of health concerns, including: anxiety and depression; recurrent infection; pneumonia; colds and the flu; urinary tract or pelvic infections; Lyme Disease; asthma; eczema; recurrent ear infections; irritable bowel syndrome and other digestive complaints; food allergy; fatigue; attention deficit and hyperactivity disorder; thyroid disease; diabetes; adrenal exhaustion; menstrual irregularities and complaints; menopause; osteoporosis; multiple sclerosis; systemic lupus erythematosus; acne; athletes foot; and many others.
Dr. Malik utilizes conventional medical diagnostic approaches including standard medical physical examination, blood tests, and imaging studies to identify and diagnose disease and pathology. Dr. Malik also utilizes alternative approaches to assess the functional status of the body and of specific organ systems.
When used in effective and safe doses, high quality natural therapies are powerful medicines. With most patients, the goal is to limit, reduce, or eliminate their need for prescription medications. However, when necessary, natural and alternative approaches are used in conjunction with pharmaceutical therapies in an effective and safe manner. Dr. Malik's goal is to maximize each patient’s capacity for vitality and healing.
Functional Assessment and Treatment
Assessing and optimizing the function of your body is an important part of preventive and alternative medicine. Functional disturbances occur before - sometimes long before - obvious and diagnosable disease manifests. Being proactive about preventing disease is one of the best ways to ensure a long and vibrant life.
For people with a fast-paced and demanding lifestyle, a functional approach is an effective way to improve health, increase energy, and enhance cognition while increasing the body's stores, instead of depleting them.
Dr. Malik uses laboratory testing, physical examination, your medical history, and current medical research to determine and prioritize the functional approaches that are best for you.
Environmental Medicine
Dr. Malik addresses the environmental causes of illness, including: allergies; infectious organisms (bacteria, viruses, fungi, parasites, etc.); chemical toxins; and heavy metals. Environmental Medicine improves health by identifying the causes of illness and then helping to remove these causes from the your personal environment and enhance your body's ability to neutralize and remove them.
By doing this, you can enhance your body’s capacity for health by removing or addressing the underlying causes of illness while optimizing the function of the body so that it has the resources it needs to attain maximum health and to prosper.
Orthomolecular Medicine
For some patients, Dr. Malik uses relatively high doses of essential nutrients and amino acids to correct disease and dysfunction in the body. Orthomolecular Medicine is the prevention and treatment of disease by providing substances that are natural to the body. This helps to establish optimal physical and emotional functioning.
Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
- First, do no harm
- View and treat the patient as a whole, dynamic person
- Prevent illness and disease when possible
- Find and address the cause of illness
- Act as a teacher to individual patients and the community
- Optimize patients’ innate ability to heal and maintain wellness
