Dr. Jaden Hawkinson, now at Tucson’s Genesis Natural Medicine Center, recently moved from Sedona, where he worked in a clinic specializing in cancer and chronic illnesses.

Could you share a bit about your background?
In Sedona, I focused on complex health conditions like cancer, mold toxicity and Lyme disease. I utilized integrative therapies such as EBOO, the Gerson Therapy and ketamine treatments. My approach blends traditional medical practices with natural therapies, including acupuncture and herbal remedies from my training in East Asian Medicine.

What is EBOO, and how does it fit into your treatment approach?
EBOO, or Extracorporeal Blood Oxygenation and Ozonation, circulates blood outside the body, treats it with ozone, and reintroduces it. This enhances oxygen delivery, supports immune function and detoxifies the blood. It’s particularly effective for chronic infections and immune system issues. My use of EBOO focuses on optimizing overall health and addressing chronic conditions’ root causes.

Can you elaborate on your experience with the Gerson Therapy?
The Gerson Therapy involves a diet rich in organic fruits and vegetables, combined with detoxification techniques like coffee enemas. It supports the body’s natural healing processes, especially for cancer patients. In Sedona, I helped patients adhere to this therapy’s dietary requirements and closely monitored their progress.

How does ketamine therapy fit into your practice?
Ketamine therapy, initially developed as an anesthetic, shows promise for treating severe depression, PTSD and chronic pain. It alters brain chemistry quickly, offering relief where traditional treatments may not. I use ketamine in a controlled setting, focusing on therapeutic benefits while ensuring patient safety.

How do you integrate these treatments into your over-all approach to patient care?
My approach as a Naturopathic Medical Doctor (NMD) starts with a holistic assessment, including diet, mindset and lifestyle. While trained in advanced therapies like EBOO, Gerson and ketamine, I prioritize nutrition and mental wellness. I also integrate acupuncture and herbal remedies and, when appropriate, prescribe pharmaceuticals. I encourage patients to have a well-rounded healthcare team to ensure comprehensive, sustainable health solutions.

How do you envision your new patients benefiting from your philosophy?
I aim to empower patients with knowledge and practical tools for their health journey. Every new patient leaves with actionable steps tailored to their needs, fostering a collaborative relationship where they feel supported in making informed health decisions.

I’m excited to be part of this vibrant community and to continue helping individuals achieve their best health.
