» Meet the Staff Bio Health Center
The staff of Bio Health Center have all earned and received Certification from the Nevada State Board of Homeopathic Medical Examiners as a Certified Homeopathic Assistant or Certified Advanced Homeopathic Practitioner. While such certification is not "legally" necessary, Dr. Edwards and the staff believe that state board certification represents an assurance to the general public that the staff of Bio Health Center is trained, fully qualified and experienced in the specialty of Homeopathic Integrative Medicine. You can review our staff's credentials listed below... we're very proud of their training, skill and accomplishments.

an outpatient Homeopathic Integrative medical facility providing quality
of health care dedicated to keeping pace with changing times. Dr. Edwards
has nearly twenty years of experience with Homeopathic Integrative Medicine

variety of treatment options in the growing field of Complementary and
Alternative Medicine. Scientific and popular interest in Complementary
and Alternative Medicine has been growing in Europe, especially Germany
for over 50 years. Dr. Edwards completed his Ozone, Bioresonance Feedback,
Homotoxicology and Electroacupuncture certification in Germany. In addition,
all clinical staff at Bio Health Center are licensed and/or certified

is now U.S. government
interest in and early support of many of these methods.

"No where in today's managed care, third party, media circus does anyone present the patient and clinical practitioners philosophy... For years I listened to the insurers, managers, experts, professors, news pundits, bureaucrats and opinion makers. But I ultimately realized that I still had to sleep at night. From all third party perspectives any clinical practice is, in essence, 'anecdotal.' So now I listen first and foremost to my conscience. I had good teachers, good mentors and loyal patients as well. Although I think 'science' is important, technology, politics and economics are not science. The professional oath I took upon becoming a physician was to relieve patient suffering, honor those who taught me, teach those willing to learn and reveal no information shared with me in confidence. It didn't have anything to do with third parties. That oath is our philosophy at Bio Health Center..."
