Dr. Taylor Bean, ND

I am Canadian licensed naturopathic doctor working in Salmon Arm BC Canada. I have a focus in Autism I practice with integrity, compassion and respect.

I have always enjoyed learning the uniqueness of the human body - how each system, be it anatomical or emotional, plays an intricate role in maintaining the strength of our body. With my patients, I am passionate about discovering what part of the system is responsible for creating imbalances. To dig deeper than the surface and look at all aspects, ultimately finding the missing link. Each and every person will have different reasons for bringing on ailments or dis-ease and it is my job to discover what part needs a bit more attention. As a naturopathic physician, I am licensed by the Canadian Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia. As a result, I am strictly monitored to ensure my practices are safe and effective. My practice encompasses family medicine ranging from pain management, women's health, diabetes, cardiovascular health and digestive disorders. I am open to any challenge that presents itself as I strongly adhere to the belief that every person has a right to complete and honest health care. The treatments I use are chosen based on what is most compatible and effective for your health. I believe in integrative medicine, which means the use of all types of treatments, including pharmaceutical intervention. My training encompasses in depth understanding of pharmaceutical action on the body while having extensive training on how to support the body and restore balance with alternative medicine. I strive to see you as a whole person, not just your condition. I welcome you to join me in this journey in achieving optimal well-being.

We should never live in a world that death occurs when you speak your mind.

The land of the free?

Regardless if you agree with him or not, he was respectful. He ENCOURAGED debate - something most no one can do. Debating means arguing for most. He put himself in the arena so many times and I just wanted to watch how composed he could be.

My heartfelt condolences to the family. His children are without a Father. His wife is without her best friend.

Will we learn from this?

About a month ago I was battling a chest cold. I had coughing fits - with difficulty expectorating phlegm. About 5 days in, it took me hard and I had a coughing fit that took over. All I wanted was nebulized glutathione - I had been on a range of antimicrobials to expectorating herbs but I needed something to hit my lungs directly.

Sometimes you just need a reminder from someone else on what to do. Taking care of hundreds of patients to my own family, you need someone to take care of you and remind you of tools to help you. My husband made the off comment of a steam inhalation. Right!

A steam inhalation saved the day. A bit of eucalyptus and hot steaming water.

It was a virus that got me. Not bacterial. Do I fear viruses? No. Is it my training that taught me the healing power of nature? Yes. But it’s also because I have common sense. Tie those two things together and fear never enters the conversation.

Do viruses kill? They can. But do they want to? Most do not want their host to die. Why? If the host dies, so does it. Viruses do NOT want you to die.

What makes someone susceptible to dying from a virus?
🦠 Lacking critical nutrients that are required for immunological function such as Vitamin D, A, C, Selenium
🦠 poor digestive health —> lacking beneficial microbes, mucin to SIgA
🦠 Being on several medications (many are immunosuppressive)
🦠 Being overweight to obese. Adipose tissue is inflammatory and immunosuppressant
🦠 Choosing an artificial diet over a whole foods diet - sugar is incredibly immunosuppressant

Your daily choices are a major player in what makes you susceptible to severe symptoms from a virus.

Viruses aren’t the bad guy. You are a target if you choose a poor diet, choose to not move your body and allow for daily extreme stress.

A virus needs you to survive. Period.

With time, we gain more evidence. While the evidence may not be favourable for researchers, stakeholders and even the consumer, that is why you NEVER hold emotional ties to your hypothesis.

CV19 💉 was used for everyone because we were declared in an emergency. While I do not agree you should only ever listen to one voice - the CDC - we did.

Evidence evolves. It has to with time. We learn more. We learn more about the product that is being studied. We learn more about human physiology. We still do not know EVERYTHING about the human body.

This article on JAMA shares the news but with a slant. They are clearly angry with the change as they do slander the CDC a bit in their write up. Again, you cannot have emotion in research. If you do, you will be bias and not transparent.

The CDC no longer recommends the CV19 💉 in pregnancy.

If you work in healthcare - you need to now stop recommending it as per the CDC.

As social media and your news outlets will inform you of Measles cases and share public healths preventative measures, they will forget one important tool we have: if you already have immunity

A tool that all pregnant women use as standard testing is immune status for Rubella and Hepatitis B (recently Varicella is being checked as well)

The same test can be used to check immunity for Measles. And anyone can access it via their healthcare provider.

A tool I have frequently used is checking current immunity for my patients is:
💫 Measles
💫 Mumps
💫 Rubella
💫 Varicella
💫 Pneumoccoal
💫 Varicella

This tool is not 100% accurate but is something we do have and is incredibly useful. Knowing if you have IgG immunity is a great first step versus panic and worry. Our media outlets should be choosing options and sharing tools over fear and panic.

As a vaccinating Naturopathic Doctor, I am frequently asked about herd immunity, if an infection is deadly, if they themselves would recover from an infection, how well does a vaccine actually work and so on.

The answer to all of these questions is, how efficient is the immune system?

Someone who takes accountability of their health, which means doesn’t eat immunosuppressant food and drink, takes care of themselves to prevent the need of medications, sleeps and works out would have a ill functioning immune system? Or perhaps they have a well functioning immune system?

Someone who smokes, drinks nightly, eats inflammatory foods, doesn’t address their ailments, doesn’t take accountability for how they feel, run the risk of poor immune function.

Poor immune function means an infection will progress into a moderate to severe illness, allowing for further spread.

Poor immune function means the immune system may not make immunity to a vaccine

Since RFK announced he will be looking for the cause of Autism, there has been extreme backlash and anger with his statements. While I can understand where this deep resentment comes from, know that he isn’t talking about 75% of the children diagnosed with Autism. Your child is most likely not who is talking about.

He is talking about a minority of those diagnosed with Autism. While the number is about 1:36 in the states, he is talking about the 25% of these 36

So who is he referring to? The children that: lost their fine and gross motor skills + have seizures + have apraxia + require 24/7 care + have ailments no pediatrician or neurologist can explain and instead will label a child with Global Development Delay.

He is talking about the subset of children that were developing well, regressed and there are no genetic mutations to explain it.

It is time for answers. It has been way to long that no government agency has stood up and said WHY are we seeing these ailments in our young, developing, once vibrant children.

It is non negotiable, the rise in complex paediatric cases is climbing. It is absolutely not because of better diagnosis. Seizures are objective. Apraxia is objective. Loss of fine and gross motor skills is objective. Non of these things are subjective.

What do we talk about all the time at ? Neuroinflammation. Physicians and researchers have been diving into the WHY for decades. And still do. But instead we know why, we just now learn solutions to support or treat neuroinflammation, gut dysfunction, heavy metals (mercury, thallium to arsenic damage neuronal function).

Finding the cause should be celebrated. Not hated. Every parent should want their child to thrive. That’s all I and anyone else that supports children with ASD ever wants. Once you find the cause, you find the solution ❤️

A new project on the horizon and I would love to have your feedback

Which one do you like? What would you change?

Vaccine optimization journal coming for 2025/2026 ❤️

As a Vaccinating Naturopathic Doctor, I am on several email lists from various organizations about vaccines, infections, schedules etc - and recently there was an email asking for questions surrounding HPV and Pneumococcal

I can share your questions until May 6th - which are being collected to enhance future education for professionals

I have my own questions but what about you?

Feel free to DM me or start asking in the comment 👇

As a vaccinating Naturopathic Doctor, I have been fortunate to be apart of families journey with vaccines for over a decade.

There aren’t usually any firsts for me around vaccines but recently I was asked for my credentials revolving around vaccines. It took me aback but I actually really appreciated the opportunity to share my history with vaccines as I have never been asked which is:

💫 Licensed Naturopathic Doctor with the certificate to administer vaccines (few NDs have gone through this training - yes there is training!)
💫 I have lectured at medical conferences about vaccines across Canada, USA and Internationally
💫 I have created the first and only Vaccine Optimization webinars series created for both parents and practitioners ➡️ www.VaccineOptimization.com
💫 I have created a Vaccine Savvy Parent Program - found on the Vaccine Optimization website.
💫 my experience with supporting families has not only been in Canada but also internationally
💫 I will, and have, stood for informed consent and body autonomy. Why my consultations are an hour in length.
💫 I have taken every single vaccine course available - and will be attending yet another course that is 6 weeks long. My dedication to this subject is quite laser focused. It has become my most favourite.

With that said - is your healthcare provider have the credentials to answer your questions around vaccines? Or be they do not because they do not have to.

FYI - my training in school around vaccines is the same as your Medical Doctor. I learned the vaccine preventable infections and at what point infants received their vaccines. That is it.

When it comes to assessing your risk of contracting an infection (yes - we call it an infection, not a disease), you will usually see a healthcare provider or a website use statistics of cases as the only or best the primary gauge if you may contract it or not.

For example, the CDC used share updated cases of infections but since they have been gutted, they don’t. Our own doesn’t have up to date information so it is hard to know our current infection rates. And the WHO does annual updates.

Can we make our sole decision to vaccinate based on cases?

The short answer is no. And the long answer is most likely not.

Your risk of contracting an infection is essentially based on two things
1. Having been in the presence of the infection
2. Your susceptibility of contracting the infection

For example: let’s take Measles. It is very contagious. So your risk of contracting this virus is if you are around someone who currently has the infection (And know the virus can survive airborne for about 3 hours). There is zero risk of contracting if you are around a non measles carrier (vaccinated or not). So if 10 people are standing in a room with 1 person with active measles, who is at risk? Or rather, who is most susceptible to contract measles and present with moderate to severe symptoms?

What makes you or your child susceptible to moderate to severe symptoms from an infection ⬅️ this is what we should be asking. When we ask this, then we can provide solutions to mitigate your risk of severe infection and then we have an empowered community.

What makes you more susceptible?
✨ for infants: not breastfed, c-section and have had antibiotics.
✨ having had several antibiotics and not re-seeding your microbiome
✨ Vitamin status of: Vitamin A, C, D, zinc, selenium.
✨ using Tylenol at the onset of an infection
✨ if you have digestive issues
✨ you frequently utilize pharmaceuticals
✨ your age: older means you secrete less melatonin
✨ epigenetics
✨ there are more!

So make your evaluation to vaccinate based more on your status of health. Not only on numbers. Infections are not going anywhere nor changing. Your health certainly can though.

02/17/2025

You may not have noticed, but the CDC has a brandnew face.

The entire website has been flushed of information - including vaccine information to common infections.

What you will start seeing is other websites start to provide information.

So clearly, there is a lot going on behind the scenes 😎

As practitioners, we have an oath to uphold. As a Naturopathic Doctor, I have 6 principles to follow and one is them is Do No Harm.

One of the main culprits for enhancing or even being the main cause for dis-ease is: INFLAMMATION

Conditions related to or worsened by Inflammation:
🔥 Chronic pain
🔥 Chronic fatigue
🔥 Insomnia
🔥 Poor healing
🔥 Chronic immune dysfunction
🔥 Migraines
🔥 Neuralgia
🔥 Suicidal Ideation (I am currently in the year long Psychiatry Redefined by Dr Greenblatt - highly recommend)

If you have a PANDAS patient who is in a flare or not stable, is a vaccine appropriate for them?

If you have chronic Lyme patient in front of you, is a vaccine appropriate?

Vaccination is inherently inflammatory. It has to be in order to create immune memory. You know this (if you don’t, please refresh innate / adaptive immune responses to antigens/antibody creation)

Your job is to be unbiased with your patients and help them make the best decision. Your job is to treat the person in front of you. You are to Do No Harm.

Suggesting someone to wait to vaccinate does not go against what you were taught. Your job is to practice medicine. When you understand immunology and the condition the patient has in front of you, you are to make the best decision for them. That is best medical practices.
