Louisa Williams, MS, DC, ND
New Talk
Louisa Williams, MS, DC, ND, practices naturopathic medicine in Austin, Texas, and is the author of the book, Radical Medicine. The word radical means “going to the root or origin, and pertaining to that which is fundamental and thorough.” Dr. Williams practices according to this “radical medicine” philosophy by addressing such core issues as heavy metal and petrochemical detoxification (mercury amalgam fillings, toxic cosmetics, etc.); clearing dental, tonsil, sinus, and other focal infections; treating scar interference fields; identifying significant malocclusions (“bad bites”); and uncovering major hidden food sensitivities. With Dr. Dietrich Klinghardt, Dr. Williams co-developed Neural Kinesiology (now ART), and has originated her current energetic testing method, Matrix Reflex Testing. MRT measures the most highly sensitive indicator of function (or dysfunction) in the body—the state of the fascial-matrix connective tissue. It is an easy-to-learn and an exceptionally accurate energetic testing method for attaining more specific diagnoses and more effective treatments in practice.
She is currently launching her new herbal company, Radical Botanicals: Sprouted, Fermented and Detoxified Phytoembryotherapy, which are both gentle and potent remedies, and exceptionally bioavailable in the body.
