Homeopathy
Dr. Cavin practices a form of homeopathy called Biotherapeutic Drainage. It is a European method of homeopathy that uses several remedies at once to help open routes of elimination in the body. Common routes of elimination are the liver, kidneys, and lungs. UNDA numbers, homeopathic remedies from Europe, are used for this purpose. Opening the routes of elimination promotes detoxification and healthy function of various organ systems.
