Dr. David Fialkoff was licensed by the State of Connecticut as a Naturopathic Doctor in 1983. He opened Natural Medical Service, a general, private practice in West Hartford, Connecticut helping to pioneer the spread of alternative medicine in the northeast. He has worked extensively with HIV/AIDS patients as well as with elderly immigrant and inner city populations.

Dr David established Bald Mountain Retreat in Vermont's Northeast Kingdom as a place where people could be immersed in natural health and alternative medicine. "Come live the change."


Dr. Dave took an interest in natural health and spirituality from his youth, becoming a vegetarian and studying eastern spirituality, in particular yoga and Zen from his early teens. Seeking truth, he combined his spiritual practices with a study of the natural sciences, eventually enrolling in naturopathic medical school.

Dr. Dave is a student of Kabbalah. Kabbalah teaches that human body, psychology and soul are all reflections of universal patterns underlying and permeating the world.

Synthesizing eastern and western spirituality with naturopathic philosophy, Dr. Dave demonstrates that health is achieved through aligning our beings with the universal, natural order. "Health is the easy way. As the masters say, "The way is like the bright sun in the clear blue sky. Yet, people ask, "Where is it?'"

Dr. David has authored, The Repertory of the Mind , The Mystical Affirmations of Israel, Kabbalah Healing; Descent for the Purpose of Ascent and a children's book Sally Sue Simpson. He is currently at work on another book, Ways to Save Your Life.

Dr. Fialkoff is an entertaining, articulate speaker and guide and an attentive host. He takes great delight in exposing the simple solutions which underlie complex problems, empowering people through understanding and practice to live healthier, happier lives.

Dr. David has practiced naturopathic, alternative medicine for almost thirty years. In addition to his naturopathic doctorate he has a B.S. in Agriculture and Natural Resources.

(Naturopathic medicine requires a four-year, post-graduate education very similar to standard medical school except that it teaches the use of therapies which stimulate and strengthen the body's own detoxification and healing abilities. These natural health therapies include, nutrition, herbalism, homeopathy, Chinese medicine, hydrotherapy, live food therapy, manipulation, massage, weight loss program and more.)
