Services
We provide Traditional Chinese Acupuncture designed to stimulate specific points that support natural balance within the body. This approach helps reduce stress, encourage efficient bodily function, and promote overall comfort. By supporting the flow of energy, our treatments aim to relieve pain naturally and improve how you feel physically and mentally over time. 
We offer colon hydrotherapy as a gentle and effective method of internal cleansing and detoxification. This process uses warm, filtered water to support the natural elimination of impacted waste from the large intestine during a guided session. Treatments typically last about 45 minutes and are designed to promote digestive balance. Our approach supports the bodys natural detoxification functions. 
Our homeopathy services are designed to stimulate the bodys own healing response using principles established over centuries of practice. We emphasize personalized evaluations that consider physical, emotional, and constitutional factors. This method offers a natural alternative to conventional approaches, supporting overall wellness while remaining appropriate for individuals at every stage of life. 
We offer a premium full-spectrum infrared sauna designed to support deep, effective sweating. The system uses near, mid, and far infrared technology along with medical-grade chromotherapy lighting. We selected this sauna for its exceptionally low EMF and ELF emissions. Regular use supports detoxification and overall wellness. Sessions are private, relaxing, and last up to one hour. 
We provide Ionic Foot Detox Therapy as a supportive approach to whole-body wellness. During this 45-minute session, an ionic charge is used to assist the body in releasing toxins through the feet while promoting alkalinity. The service is intended to help energize the body and reinforce immune health. The water often deepens in color during treatment. 
We provide ozone therapy as a professional service focused on immune enhancement and internal cleansing. The process introduces a precise oxygen-ozone blend to improve blood oxygen levels. This oxidative therapy is known for addressing harmful bacteria and other toxins. Each application is intended to support circulation, immune strength, and the bodys natural recovery processes.

Dr. Doc Fontes D. H. Dacm
Clinic Director, Dr. of Acupuncture & Homeopathy
Dr. Fontes, fondly known as Doc, is the Clinic Director at Natural Medicine and Detox, where we offer ACUPUNCTURE and complete detoxification, and nutritional services.
He started on his own healing journey over 25 years ago. It began with homeopathy in his search for inner peace of mind. The profound effects of homeopathic treatment prompted him to study classical homeopathy, and he made history by becoming the First Licensed homeopath in the United States since the 1920s. Doc earned two masters degrees in Acupuncture and Chinese Herbal Medicine and received a doctorate degree from the Pacific College of Health and Science in San Diego.

I have been coming to Natural Medicine and Detox for 5 months. There are no words to describe the level of compassion and love received there. Their services are well priced compared to others I have seen. If you are unwell, mentally or physically, or you are in need of an alternative medical plan, this is the place for you. They really care about my well-being and I know they will do the same for you.

Great staff and ionic foot bath service! I was blown away with how many toxins came out of my feet. I bought a 5 pack and went every day to get the toxins out. I found it to be a very economical way to release toxins out of the body by way of the pores in your feet. It is a unique detox pathway that produced strong results for me. I eat very clean and sauna weekly, so I was shocked to see many toxins were released. I would recommend everyone give this a try!

A friend of mine recommended the place along with her therapist. I've been sick off and on since November up till March. I wanted to pursue a different route in making my body feel better. I look up the place and was reading about their services what all entails. So I tried a foot detox really felt the difference I have also tried the colonic sessions which overall made me feel much better my body felt really cleansed and healthier since then I started doing more plant-based and eating healthy. I still want to continue going there and try their other services. The receptionist is just fabulous very informative and very friendly and helpful in what needs are and as well recommending things that come possibly help you. And their little waiting area is a monthly pamphlet with health tips an advertisement regarding holistic information. I do highly recommend this place for health reasons.

What a great place, it really was my first time ever doing acupuncture: well I say yes again, well I already said yes and so it's a "yes, yes;" they are nice and friendly; for sure, I know that I am in good hands, being that it is my first time doing acupuncture. 20 out of 5 stars
I will be coming back.
I will be coming back.

Hands down, the best natural medical center I have been to! They have helped to not only treat/help my body from the inside out, they have also helped to balance mood and energy in the process. Dr. Mario, Melissa and the entire staff have been there to help treat my entire family at one time or another. One of my sons, who happens to be on the "Spectrum" has made noticeable improvements in communication and attention, since visiting the facility. WELL WORTH IT!!!
