Keeping You Healthy
Hi there, my name is Dr. Ken Rifkin.
Over the past 40 years here in Portland, Oregon as a naturopathic physician and acupuncturist, I’ve been helping thousands of people heal themselves naturally, using homeopathic medicines, herbal medicines, diet, nutrition, exercise, emotional healing – all kinds of things that are natural that support the body's innate energy to heal itself.
Today I’d like to share some of pearls of wisdom about common conditions.

Here’s my big three: lifestyle, diet, and natural treatments.
First off, know that our body really has an incredible innate ability to heal itself. And energetically, certain natural things work differently than other natural things. And what I mean by that is you have more subtle therapies like homeopathic medicines, acupuncture, that when introduced are working like a good teammate with the body's innate energy.
But if someone is really sick their vital energy, their vital force is so low, that patient can't really muster up a positive response without some help.
So you have to build up the terrain inside the body, and pay really close attention to diet, nutrition, exercise, and the right mix of herbal medicines to try to create a bigger vital force.
Right here, at my clinic, Mountain Park Health Clinic, located in Southwest Portland, we’ve treated many different conditions over the years from PMS, to menopause, to irritable bowel syndrome to Crohn's disease to rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, lung diseases, musculoskeletal problems, sprain strain type injuries to osteoarthritis - many different things.
So let’s get to it.
Widely recognized as Oregon's first to hold both a naturopathic physician license and acupuncturist license, Dr. Kenneth H. Rifkin has performed thousands of naturopathic procedures since 1977 and is dedicated to creating optimal health for people through support and guidance.
