The Integrative Medicine Clinic in Kingston, Ontario provides a wide range of services. The Clinic is headed by Dr. Edward Leyton, who has practised Complementary Medicine for over 25 years. We accept referrals from your Family Physician. The Clinic philosophy embraces the following concepts:

Mind and Body are one unit - although we tend to think of mind and body as being separate, in reality each cell communicates with every other cell. Therefore what you think is transmitted throughout your body; and what happens in your body is transmitted to your mind.

A Physician is a guide/teacher - although a physician has more knowledge and training in certain areas, this knowledge can be imparted to you in such a way that you can make informed decisions about what therapy is best for you as an individual. We believe you are the expert on your own body/mind. We help you to activate those resources needed for health.

Many treatment modalities are utilised - the Clinic is not an 'alternative' to orthodox treatments, but combines the best of both orthodox and complementary therapies. The latter include nutrition, stress reduction, exercise, and replacement of unhealthy behaviours with health enhancing behaviours. Nutrition, herbs, supplements, massage, Homeopathic Treatments, Acupuncture, relaxation and psychotherapy may all be used in treatment.

Move towards Wellness - we move people towards positive aspects of wellness as well as away from the negative aspects of illness.

Some of the problems we work with include - Anxiety; Asthma; Allergies; Cancer; Candida; Chronic Fatigue Syndrome; Compulsions; Depression; Eczema; Fibromyalgia; Food Intolerance; Headaches; Irritable Bowel Disease; Migraines; Panic Attacks; Parasites; and others.

Dr. Leyton will work with you in partnership to provide you with a unique experience in improving your health. The emphasis is on nutritional, lifestyle, and behavioural change. The Clinic is a unique blend of these three aspects of health.
