Who We Are

Dr. Robert Abell, N.D., VNMI

Dr. Robert Abell has studied with numerous doctors including Dr. Gerard Guenoit, M.D. who was his most memorable mentor. Dr. Abell studied with him regularly for 12 years in North America and Europe. Dr. Guenoit’s ingenious way of treating patients inspired Dr. Abell to look at “disease” in a different way.

After extensive training with Dr. Gueniot, Dr. Abell was honored to be part of the North America group to teach European Biological Medicine to Canadian and American doctors and other health practitioners. Dr. Abell has been teaching this amazing medicine for the last 17 years.

Dr. Abell has also studied Auricular Medicine with Dr Michael Adams, B.Sc, N.D. He incorporates German Biological Medicine, Biotherapeutic Drainage, Phytoembryotherapy, Oligo-elements, Homeopathy, Clinical Nutrition and Orthomolecular nutrients into his practice. Specific testing allows him to assess blockages and organ and glandular imbalances that inhibit the body from healing. This tool allows him to individualize his treatment and to test nutritional remedies and treatments that balance the patient on a biochemical, energetic and mental/emotional level.

Nutrition is also an important part of Dr. Abell's practice as well. He is GAPS certified with Dr. Natasha Campbell McBride. This certification has allowed him to help patients with serious neurological and digestive issues. He gives out specific nutritional guidelines for each patient and tests for intolerances to specific foods. Dr. Abell uses the Carroll Method to determine food intolerances according to the therapy develop by Dr. O.G. Carroll in the 1920's.

Dr. Abell received his Bachelor of Science, in Kinesiology from the University of Colorado, Boulder in 1985. While racing bicycles in Boulder, Colorado, Dr. Abell developed asthma which he struggled with for 2 years. At the advise of a friend, he consulted with a chiropractor who determined that a vertebrae in his spine had moved from a traumatic injury which was the beginning of the asthma issue. After one month of chiropractic treatment, Dr. Abell has eliminated all asthmatic symptoms for the last 34 years.

Dr. Abell began looking for alternatives to traditional medical school and on the advice of an acupuncturist, he applied to the National College of Naturopathic Medicine (NCNM) in Portland, Oregon. NCNM is a four year residential medical program requiring over 45OO hours of training. Dr. Abell attended NCNM from 1989 to 1993 and received his Doctorate of Naturopathic Medicine. Naturopathic Doctors (ND’s) are trained in all areas of medicine with special emphasis on natural cures. Naturopathic Doctors are considered primary care physicians in over 15 states.

While in his second year at NCNM, Dr. Abell also began his studies at the Oregon College of Oriental Medicine (OCOM). OCOM is a four year accredited school for Oriental Medicine and Acupuncture. Dr. Abell graduated from OCOM in 1994.

While attending an Acupuncture conference in Portland, he met his future wife, Lisa, who was also attending OCOM. They moved to Southern California and started a family. He practiced in Laguna Hills, California for over 20 years.
