Whitmont, Ronald D, MD

General Practitioners

Arthritis
Twenty-three patients with rheumatoid arthritis were treated with either a complex homeopathic preparation or placebo. After 12 weeks the homeopathic treated group showed a significant improvement in pain, movement, inflammatory signs, morning stiffness, and fatigue compared with the placebo group.
Medical Weight Loss
Dr. Whitmont treats a wide range of illnesses and provides healthy lifestyle counseling and illness prevention strategies over a wide range of conditions.
Nutritional Counseling
Pediatric Care
Primary Care
A recent survey predicts that “nearly half of the nation’s primary care physicians plan to stop practicing or reduce patient load” in the three years. Physicians cite frustration over non-clinical paperwork, difficulty receiving reimbursement and burdensome government regulations. State medical societies and government agencies warn of inevitable primary care physician shortages that are worsening. Among primary care physicians, a 14% shortfall is expected by 2030.
Ear Infections
4) to reduce or eliminate drug dependence (for allergies, asthma, colitis, ear infections, hypertension, etc.), where drugs must be taken long-term or indefinitely; and
Emergency Care
Individuals over age 65 were more than twice as likely to be treated in the Emergency Room for adverse drug effects than younger subjects and nearly 7 times as likely to require hospitalization for these events.
Diarrhea
Immunizations
Whether or not to immunize is a complex and oftentimes difficult decision today. I advise many parents in this regard. As a medical professional and a homeopathic physician these two trainings are not in a great deal of conflict over this issue. There are growing data generated by good studies throughout the world that suggest that the childhood immunizations that are currently recommended may not be without serious harm. There are also good data to suggest that often the committees and organizations that we have trusted to advise us in these matters may have serious conflicts of interest. There is no question that adverse events to vaccines are seriously underreported in this country and that very often a parent’s complaints are dismissed offhandedly and sometimes ridiculed by otherwise caring physicians. It is also clear that a great many of the recommended childhood vaccinations do not make good sense. Data from Europe indicate that many of the childhood illnesses may actually impart a benefit to the immune system throughout ones life, and that children who acquire immunity through the actual disease process have significantly lower rates of chronic illnesses later in life, including allergies, asthma and autoimmune diseases. It is a well-known fact that natural immunity (that develops after acquiring the illness) tends to be life-long. Immunity that is acquired through immunization is generally of a shorter duration requiring re-immunization only a few years later. The significance of this fact can be profound when one considers that many of these illnesses can be benign when acquired as a child, but can be devastating when acquired as a teenager or an adult.

Ophthalmologists

Macular Degeneration
“This review considers the studies that have shown a wide range health benefits from sun/UV exposure. These benefits include among others various types of cancer, cardiovascular disease, Alzheimer disease/dementia, myopia and macular degeneration, diabetes and multiple sclerosis. The message of sun avoidance must be changed to acceptance of non-burning sun exposure sufficient to achieve serum 25(OH)D concentration of 30 ng/mL or higher in the sunny season and the general benefits of UV exposure beyond those of vitamin D.”

Pregnancy

Internal Medicine
Dr. Whitmont is a holistically oriented physician. He was trained and Board Certified in Internal Medicine in 1995, 2012 and Holistic Medicine in 2000. His office is located in Rhinebeck, New York and his practice emphasizes a rational approach to restoring and maintaining health through safe, effective and gentle means. Dr. Whitmont utilizes homeopathic medicines through a classical system of medical therapeutics.

Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Jeffery SLA, Belcher HJCR. Use of Arnica to Relieve Pain after Carpal-Tunnel Release Surgery. Altern Therap Health Med 2002; 8(2): 66-8.
Multiple Sclerosis
Vitamin D plays many important roles throughout the body. It helps the body absorb calcium to maintain healthy bones and teeth and it also protects against a range of conditions such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, and multiple sclerosis.
Epilepsy

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD)
The authors reviewed 16 out of 326 available trials for inclusion in their analysis. The evidence for ADHD and Childhood Diarrhea show mixed results, while the remainder of the studies did not yield convincing evidence to support the use of homeopathy. The authors concluded: “The evidence from rigorous clinical trials of any type of therapeutic or preventive intervention testing homeopathy for childhood and adolescence ailments is not convincing enough for recommendations in any condition.”

Radiation Therapy
Sixty-six patients received either homeopathic medicine or placebo during radiation therapy following breast cancer surgery. The homeopathic group showed statistically significant improvement in breast skin color, warmth, swelling and pigmentation over 10 weeks compared with the control group.

Skin Cancer
To start, the relationship between malignant melanoma and sunlight is a bit more complicated. Melanoma frequently occurs on parts of the body that are rarely, if ever exposed to sunlight, raising serious questions about the role that sunlight plays in causing this type of cancer. Some studies suggest that intermittent sunlight exposure increases risk of melanoma, while continuous lifelong exposure
Dermatology
Eczema
One hundred and eighteen children were randomized to receive either homeopathic (n=54) or conventional (n=64) treatment of eczema for 12 months. Disease related quality of life improved similarly in both groups.
Lesions
But by far, the most dreaded results of sun exposure can be skin cancers. Excessive sun exposure, particularly sunburns, have been associated with higher risks of developing pre-cancerous lesions (actinic keratoses) and some forms of skin cancers (basal cell carcinoma, and squamous cell carcinomas). While these precancers and cancers are easily treated and cured, malignant melanoma is a much different story.
