From Snoring to Silence: A Parent’s Exploration of Innovative Pediatric Sleep Apnea Solutions
In the realm of pediatric health, where every parent seeks answers that address the root causes of their child’s ailments, the journey from snoring to silence became a profound learning experience. The MIST trial, challenging conventional norms, illuminated the efficacy of intranasal saline in treating sleep-disordered breathing in children. Beyond this revelation, a personalized exploration of biofilm disruption and careful consideration of environmental factors brought forth innovative solutions. The cautious incorporation of povidone-iodine nasal spray, despite its thyroid-related concerns, mirrored a balance between groundbreaking findings and the need for further study. As we continue to refine our approaches to childhood sleep apnea, this journey becomes not just a personal one but a beacon urging healthcare providers to reevaluate and redefine their strategies, ultimately offering hope to parents navigating similar paths.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is your cancellation policy?
Do you accept insurance?
No. Unfortunately, we are currently unable to network with or take insurance payments for our naturopathic services in Virginia, as the medical model does not yet recognize the importance of holism and prevention; steps are being taken in Virginia and nationally to change this. While we are out of network for our acupuncture services, we can provide itemized receipts for you to self-submit should you have out-of-network coverage for acupuncture. Fortunately, if you have a flexible spending account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA), you may be able to use it for naturopathic and/or acupuncture services. For more information, please reference our transparent fee schedule.
Because we are not an insurance model clinic, we can provide longer, unrushed, and personized visits for our patients. And since we see one patient at a time, rather than rotating through rooms, we are present with our patients throughout the duration of our acupuncture sessions.
Can you be my primary care provider?
Not in Virginia. The scope of practice for Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) varies throughout the country. However, there are several states that do not yet offer Naturopathic Doctors a practice license; such is the case in Virginia. This limits NDs from practicing in a primary care role. Therefore, NDs in Virginia are unable to offer physical exams, diagnostic imaging, or manage pharmaceuticals.
As a result, NDs in Virginia practice in a consulting role, co-managing patients with their primary care providers. This allows the ND to help patients uncover underlying causes of imbalance(s) and offer safe and effective individualized, natural treatments including clinical nutrition, homeopathy, botanical medicine, acupuncture, and lifestyle counseling. If you are looking for a provider to help optimize the conventional care you are receiving and to put the pieces together holistically, our practice is likely a good match.
Why are your acupuncture and naturopathic services separate?
Since some patients are only interested in naturopathic care and others only in acupuncture, acupuncture treatments are kept as a separate service. Additionally, while some patients have insurance coverage for acupuncture in Virginia, there is not yet insurance coverage for naturopathic care. Therefore, at Collective Health Center, we keep naturopathic visits and acupuncture visits separate to appropriately accommodate everyone.
What are your success rates?
Since our approach is individualized, success is necessarily driven by each patient’s outcomes, which can vary based upon many factors. There are a number of research studies that have demonstrated the efficacy of the naturopathic, whole health and whole person approach [see ‘Research Highlights’ on page 22] for conditions such as cardiovascular disease, chronic pain conditions, type 2 diabetes, polycystic ovary syndrome, depression, anxiety, and a myriad of complex chronic conditions.
