For 15 years I have used Naturopathic Medicine and Traditional Chinese Acupuncture for my patients and my family. My objective is to determine blockages and organs in need of restoration, using auricular medicine, Chinese medicine and live cell analysis. I focus on testing for the body’s preferred methods of treatment, to remove blockages, allowing the body to self regulate.”

Elisabeth Bastos’ Life Path to becoming a Doctor determined to make a difference:
Since high school the seed of interest was planted for natural methods of health such as nutrition and intolerance free eating with books that her Canadian new comer parents left out for her on these topics to keep her busy as they worked over time to get established in Canada.
A seemingly negative event of being hit by a car turned positive in early high school. Elisabeth was hit by a car while riding her bike and was in severe pain until her parents took her to holistic practitioners that had her well and comfortable in an impressive amount of time. Through various practitioners she learned to exercise and learned about pain and body healing. This impressed on her and gave her the passion of taking individuals from dis-ease and stress to true healing with no chemicals just as she had experienced. More life learning drives Elisabeth’s passion for natural healthcare support….in 2018, just before Christmas her cardiologist reported good news that Elisabeth had reversed her bundle branch block and cardiomyopathy in 3 months. Her 2 prolapses are also healing and reversing which is not the text book expectation.
Dr Bastos has first hand experience with supporting and providing treatment for small children with seizure history as her own 18 month old suffered weeks of repeat seizures but avoided medication with natural approaches. Confusional migraines and headaches in her school age child also taught Dr. Bastos the importance of understanding what foods are poison to an individual as the daily neurological events that had her child miss one month of school with, subsided after removing various trigger foods and keeping a modified keto approach.
Her family continues to be her spring board for inspiration as she supported and resolved Lyme and viral co infection symptoms in her little one twice and herself suffered with chronic EBV infection and acute Lyme symptoms after a bull’s eye rash.
She is full time in practice and has volunteer history or current affiliation with organizations such as the local food bank, Summer Church Camp, healthy snack school program, and International Student Ministries Canada, online mentoring with Power 2 Change.
Since 2008 Dr. Bastos ND has been awarded yearly including Best Naturopathic Clinic, Best Naturopathic Doctor, Best Acupuncturist in the Cambridge Times Reader’s choice awards (the neighbor city she established in).
