John Birdsall, ND
Meet John Birdsall, ND. After graduating from National
University, he began a two-year residency at Cancer Treatment
Centers of America in their Midwest Regional Medical Center in
Zion, Illinois. In this video, Dr. Birdsall explains how
naturopathic medicine can work in synergy with conventional cancer
treatment, and why his work with cancer patients is so
rewarding.
Dr. John Birdsall is a second-generation naturopathic physician.
His father, Dr. Timothy Birdsall, is a noted leader in the
profession. Following in his father's footsteps, John is working
toward a career specialty as a naturopathic oncologist.
One of his favorite classes at National University was Internal
Medicine. "It combined all of our basic and clinical sciences and
put them together in real clinical settings with real case
examples," says Dr. Birdsall. "It also exposed me to naturopathic
oncology."
Thanks to his strong foundation in diagnosis and integrative
medicine from NUHS, he feels confident working on a team alongside
MD oncologists and other health care specialists in treating cancer
patients.
