General Practitioners

Arthritis
Fibromyalgia
His specialties include hormonal optimization using only bio-identical hormones, balancing brain chemistry, antioxidant therapies, and detoxification therapies. These therapies are useful in treating conditions including cancer, fibromyalgia, diabetes, heart disease, menopause, fatigue, painful conditions, asthma, and many others. His philosophy of medicine is to help facilitate your process of health by integrating the spiritual, emotional, and physical components of wellness. Dr. Pinault is the director of the New Leaf Stop Smoking Program, one of the most progressive smoking-cessation programs in the country. In this program nicotine addiction is treated by combining detox acupuncture, behavioral modification, and stress-reduction techniques to create a successful method of smoking cessation.
Medical Weight Loss
Delayed mental development, hyperactivity, delayed learning, behavioral problems fatigue, anemia, metallic taste, loss of appetite, weight loss and headaches, insomnia, nervousness, decreased nerve conduction, possibly motor neuron disorders have all been associated with lead toxicity.
Primary Care
In Washington State and other states where Naturopathic Physicians must be board certified, we are often selected by patients to be their primary care provider. Certain insurance plans also designate Naturopathic Physicians as “Specialists”. Please check with member services of your insurance plan to see if you can select a Naturopathic Physician as your primary care provider or if you need a referral from your current physician for naturopathic or acupuncture services.
Smoking Cessation
High Cholesterol
Colonoscopy
[Helpful reminder: All women at age 50 should have a screening mammogram, screening colonoscopy and dexa bone density analysis. All men at age 50 should have a screening prostate (including PSA) and screening colonoscopy examinations.]
Immunizations
Often linked to immune system dysfunction that stems from inflammation in the body from airborne allergens. Food allergies can be linked to undesirable bacteria or yeast, or insufficient digestion. Allergies have been linked to food additives, low DHEA levels (an important adrenal hormone) and vaccinations given to children.

Endometriosis
Painful menses, irregular menses, uterine fibroids and endometriosis are often related to food sensitivities and inflammatory byproducts produced in the digestive tract. These cause reproductive organ weakness and result in an imbalance of reproductive hormones. Treatments include correcting inflammation through diet and botanical medicines.

Cervical Cancer
At Shoreline Natural Medicine Clinic we use the state of the art cervical cell-screening test – the Thin Layer Prep pap. This test replaces the previous “Pap smear”. The Thin Layer Prep test has far more accuracy than the Pap smear, improving early detection of cervical cancer. Women with a history of normal paps should have an exam every two years, whereas women with a history of abnormal Paps’ or who are at high risk of cervical cancer should have annual exams.
Lung Cancer
Hair zinc levels show a number of interesting correlations, such as lower levels reported in lung cancer. Another study involving cancer showed that children with malignancies in remission exhibited the same values for zinc, copper, and zinc/copper ratios, as did controls. In contrast, children with malignancies not in remission showed decreased hair levels of zinc and copper and an increased zinc/copper ratio.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Prolotherapy is also known as nonsurgical ligament reconstruction, and is a treatment for chronic pain. The treatment is useful for many different types of musculoskeletal pain, including arthritis, back pain, neck pain, fibromyalgia, sports injuries, unresolved whiplash injuries, carpal tunnel syndrome, chronic tendonitis, partially torn tendons, ligaments and cartilage, degenerated or herniated discs, TMJ and sciatica.
Multiple Sclerosis
No metabolic functions are known for which mercury is required. At high concentrations, mercury causes liver and kidney damage and neurological symptoms. There is intriguing research correlating increased hair mercury levels with certain disease conditions. For instance, chronic mercury ingestion may be related to cardiovascular disease. Recent data suggests that a high intake of mercury from non-fatty fresh-water fish and the consequent accumulation of mercury in the body is associated with an increased incidence of acute myocardial infarction, as well as death from cardiovascular disease in general. Other evidence indicates that mercury can induce autoimmune disease both in humans and experimental animals. Mercury from dental fillings may also be a factor in multiple sclerosis, since hair mercury was found to be significantly higher in MS subjects compared to the non-MS controls.

Depression
Insomnia

Endocrinologist

Diabetes Care
Hypothyroidism
A major problem in the United States, more than 48 million people are treated each year. Theories include psycho-emotional causes such as “learned helplessness” and pessimism. Therapies that help this type include Cognitive Therapy, EMDR, Neural Linguistic Therapies etc. Chemical theories include low serotonin, low dopamine, nutrient deficiencies, drug effects, heavy metal toxicity, hypothyroidism, sleep dysfunction and adrenal dysfunction from stress. Treatments depend on the cause(s), then implementing the correct therapies such as hormone supplementation, correcting nutrient deficiencies, heavy metal detoxification etc.
Thyroid

Ultrasound
Ultrasound therapy utilizes sound waves undetectable to the human ear to penetrate sore muscles or inflamed tissue. This causes the water in cells to vibrate, creating heat. The results are reduction in pain and inflammation and increased flexibility of connective tissue.

Sciatica
Whiplash

Rashes

Physical Therapists

Sports Medicine
We provide detailed annual physical exams for men and women, well child exams and sports physicals for teens.
Neck Pain
Back Pain

Allergies
There are three main problems with foods that an individual can experience: food allergies, food sensitivities and food intolerances. All of these can be identified through an allergy elimination diet that may be followed for four to six weeks. After this time foods are added back into the diet while the individual watches for food allergy symptoms that may develop such as a drop in energy, muscle aches and pain, headaches, mood changes, bowel changes or stomach pain.
