It’s Time to Take Control of Your Health!
Set Your Wellness Goals, Challenge the Status Quo
Sano Via Wellness (Latin – “the path to healing or cure”) is an advanced integrative healing centre with medical and naturopathic doctors working closely together to assist you on your path to better health. We practice a holistic approach to well-being, understanding that you are unique with specific needs and goals. Our focus is to uncover problems and address them before they lead to illness, and correct underlying causes of existing illness, not just control symptoms. In other words, we believe the sickness model of healthcare is obsolete, and we are helping to lead this new wellness paradigm.
We are dedicated to empowering and assisting you in achieving your individual health goals under the Sano Via paradigm using simple evidence-based practices. Whether you live with heart disease, arthritic joint pain, an injury that won’t heal, recurrent infections, low energy or you just want to focus on prevention and better living, we are devoted to helping you achieve your optimal state of wellness.
How Sano Via Wellness Can Help
Consultation and Care
Our experienced staff work hard to understand your individual needs. We provide integrative care with medical and naturopathic doctors working closely together in-house to provide a balanced approach combining the best of conventional and naturopathic care. Conventional medicine can provide powerful solutions to problems such as serious acute illness or injury, and naturopathic medicine can complement this approach; often addressing chronic conditions better. Natural solutions harmonize with your body’s physiology rather then fighting against it.
Innovative Therapies
Years of experience have taught us evidence-based, prevention strategies and therapies are available for difficult diseases, even though they are not “standard practice” in Canada. We evaluate the literature, and bring you methods with evidence they are safe and effective. We assess North American publications, and don’t discriminate against research from other countries. For example, we offer medical Ozone Therapy which is rare in Canada, however, approved by the Ministry of Health in Russia based on numerous publications and decades of favourable experience.
Advanced Diagnostics
We design your wellness plan by identifying areas that need improvement for disease prevention, detox and healing. This may include advanced diagnostics such as DNA testing for chronic hidden infections, measurement of “leaky gut”, detailed assessment of adrenal and sex hormone balance, DNA testing of bacterial balance in the colon (“dysbiosis” profile), testing for glyphosate toxicity and measurement of toxic metal burden in the body. We often use accredited American labs in addition to Canadian labs. We also measure and optimize vitamin D levels in the body based on the latest studies, not outdated guidelines.
Ongoing Support
Optimal health does not come from one static wellness strategy. Needs and goals may change over time. Diagnostics and therapeutic technologies keep evolving. We constantly evaluate new research and guide you through the changing options according to your individual requirements. We provide monitoring and education to empower you to make the choices necessary for long-term health maintenance. Whether it is through lifestyle modification, natural medicines, allopathic medicines or procedures, novel diagnostic tests or mind-body medicine, we work hard to provide the tools you need to maintain health.
Why Choose Sano Via?
Expert Medical Team
Our Medical Director Dr. Akbar Khan has over 29 years’ experience in the fields of wellness, addiction, surgery, pain & symptom control, and cancer care. Dr. Khan is recognized for his work in the field of integrative medicine and frequently presents lectures internationally. In 2019 he became one of 3 Canadian physicians to earn a Fellowship with the American Academy of Ozone Therapy. Working under Dr. Khan’s leadership is Dr. Doug Andrews, ND. Dr. Andrews has over 20 years’ experience in clinical naturopathic practice and in undergraduate teaching. Our clinical staff are fully trained in high dose blood ozonation techniques, and are skilled in using our unique intravenous injection methods.
Innovation Without Compromise
When conventional medicine fails to provide solutions, Sano Via staff are ready and willing to challenge the status quo. We don’t follow the prevailing trends – we create them. For example, our Medical Director has embraced the new cancer paradigm of metabolic therapy in 2007, and has published his human findings about this therapy method in peer-reviewed medical journals around the world. Despite opposition from the allopathic medical community due to Dr. Khan’s groundbreaking work, he has remained firm in his commitment to his patients. At Sano Via we also focus on safety and quality. For example we use computerized infusion pumps and cutting-edge German hyperbaric ozone machines.
Comfortable Healing Environment
At Sano Via, healing begins the moment you step through the door. You will be greeted with our floor-to-ceiling indoor waterfall to inspire peaceful relaxation, and the fresh smell of ozone that is used to purify it. Warm colors and soft lighting provide a soothing at-home feel. Medical equipment is mostly hidden, or inconspicuous and non-threatening. We use vein finder equipment, warming blankets, pediatric (small) i.v. catheters, butterfly needles and local anesthetic if needed. We use special techniques for i.v. and other injections, so adults with needle phobia and children are at ease. For patients with implanted ports or PICC lines, our staff are trained to use them. For these reasons, we call Sano Via a healing environment, not a medical office.
Results Oriented
Our focus is your health. We will work diligently with you to achieve your goals to any extent that is humanly possible. We evaluate your therapy according to how you feel and objectively with advanced testing. We regularly evaluate peer-reviewed medical literature from around the world, because the brightest ideas are not limited to Canada. This allows us to bring a broad range of useful and safe solutions to you, even though they may not be routinely available or widely accepted locally. One area of focus at Sano Via is management of chronic painful conditions, which detract greatly from quality of life. Read some case reports about the type of results we can achieve, even when specialists have limited options to help.
