Debbie Rudyk has been providing electrodermal screening at Vital Victoria Naturopathic Clinic since 2003 and is also our IV therapy technician. She may do testing to determine; food allergies, organ health assessment, toxic exposure, supplement compatibility, meridians and emotions. Deb has over 20 years experience in the natural health field and combines that with her friendly personality to help people gain further insight into their health. 

Deb started her career in the health industry as a registered technologist in Nuclear Medicine- a diagnostic imaging modality. During her 14 years in diagnostic imaging, she became chief technologist and played an active role in clinical training for student technologists, participating in the preparation of national examinations. She felt that the medical model was lacking on a number of levels, and that there was more to health and healing, so she started to research alternative pathways and became interested in all healing options, taking a plethora of holistic courses. 

She became “totally infused” with alternative medicine. She has participated in a variety of alternative modalities from energy medicine to IV vitamin therapy. 

Deb feels that her strength is that she is focused on a more practical, (useable) level, where the patient can incorporate this information to create a more balanced lifestyle. She is a firm believer that....
