Dr. Eric R. Hampton

Dr. Eric R. Hampton is a Naturopathic Physician highly skilled in the areas of environmental, nutritional, alternative and preventive medicine. He is the founder and medical director of Westhampton Natural Medicine in Mesa, Arizona.

For over twenty years Dr. Eric Hampton has been assisting people to live the most natural, healthful and productive life possible. He received extensive undergraduate education in athletic training and exercise physiology at UNLV (University of Nevada Las Vegas) that allowed him to work as an orthopedic rehabilitation specialist, exercise and fitness consultant, and serve as the director of post rehabilitation wellness programs in Las Vegas that encouraged people to adopt healthy and productive techniques to maintain and improve their physical health status.

His experience in these areas led to a great appreciation of the body's ability to heal itself with minimal and frequently no assistance of prescription medication and surgical procedures. As a result he made a commitment to advance his education in the science and art of medicine which led to his attendance at the respected and progressive SCNM (Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine) in Tempe, Arizona, where he received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine in the spring of 2001.

Dr. Eric Hampton is a member of HEAL (Human Ecology Action League), which is a nonprofit volunteer organization of people affected by or concerned about environmental conditions that are hazardous to human health. He is a Senior Advisor for the Valley of the Sun Wellness Institute, a nonprofit organization that promotes workplace wellness programs and he also volunteers his medical services to the WellCare Foundation, a nonprofit organization that provides free medical services to single mothers and their children.

He has been featured on radio programs, written articles for health related publications and lectures frequently about naturopathic medicine and the extraordinary benefit that can be realized from utilizing the many treatment options that exist other than the standard and customary use of prescription medications and surgery. He is also currently working on three books that he hopes to have published very soon.

Dr. Eric Hampton has special interest and is highly skilled in several methods of medical detoxification that are effective in reducing and eliminating toxic heavy metals, chemicals, parasites, viruses and bacteria from the human body. He believes detoxification is extremely important in todays modern world since we are effectively the first generation of humans to be exposed to such an unprecedented number of toxins each and every day.

He continues to study new and progressive therapies from around the world for the treatment of many chronic, degenerative conditions.

Dr. Eric Hampton believes that prescription medication is useful in many cases and he does occasionally write prescriptions when absolutely necessary. However, it is important to explore the intention behind which medications are prescribed. In the majority of cases, the long term use of medication is simply not necessary. He strongly believes that most doctors prescribe drugs far too often without taking the time to explore options and to learn about the true cause or causes of their patient's health problems.

Clinical experience has convinced Dr. Hampton that the majority of disease and illness can effectively be treated by 1) removing from the body that which does not belong or may be causing dysfunction, and 2) providing the body with what it is lacking, in the form of vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, water and oxygen, among others. This treatment approach is tremendously effective and efficient, without the use of prescription medications that are frequently associated with side effects that are worse than the conditions they were intended to treat.

The healthcare system in the United States is on the verge of collapse because it is focused solely upon crisis management and the suppression of symptoms with drugs.
