Welcome To The Home of the UNpharmaceuticalssm
Important Note From Doctor Taketa-Wong “I founded this natural medicine store as a part of my purpose as a doctor. It’s mission is to maximize health, not profits, so I have a 20% discount built in, and we use the store as an ongoing fundraiser for special needs families.
"As naturopathic physicians, we will certainly prescribe pharmaceuticals when needed. But we want our patients to be off them as soon as possible. In fact, much of the medical work we do involves helping our patients wean off of pharmaceuticals because of the many side effects, from the unpleasant to the to the outright harmful.”
What Are UNpharmaceuticals? UNpharmaceuticals are medical grade, laboratory tested, health-promoting supplements. We’re talking about best quality vitamins, minerals, western herbs, Chinese herbs, tinctures, homeopathics, and other natural remedies from all over the world. Unlike pharmaceuticals, our UNpharmaceuticals can typically be taken as long as they’re needed, have zero to mild side effects, and typically get better results.
Doctors’ Supply Center Now Open To All A doctor’s invitation is typically required to purchase from the store, because it’s not a retail outlet. It’s more of a supply center for naturopathic doctors and other health professionals. But I believe these products should be available to everyone.
Special Needs Family Support Fund The net store proceeds go to our Family Support Fund to help families with special needs children cover the cost of their medical treatment. (You can read their comments below.)
Validated Quality Supplements are not regulated by the FDA like pharmaceuticals and over-the-counter drugs, so how can a patient or consumer know if they’re any good? The better manufacturers submit their products to independent testing laboratories. No product is allowed in our store unless it’s been independently tested for quality and purity.
Host Company Our supplement store is hosted by Fullscript, a company built to serve health care professionals and their patients. I selected them as the host because they have most of the items we prescribe for our patients. You can read about Fullscript’s commitment to the highest health and quality standards here.
Registering The email you provide is what the store uses to send information about your orders. Email addresses are always kept private.
Shipping: This is a health supplements-only supply store, primarily for doctors and their patients. It is not like a major retail site like Amazon, Walmart, or Target. Our store has free shipping above $50 (2 to 4 products, generally), which typically takes 7 – 10 days for Hawaii addresses. It also has an excellent auto-refill option, which patients have said works well.
Expedited shipping If you prefer to receive your products in 2 - 3 business days, the cost is $4.95. Patients say that even when they include the faster shipping, our prices are often equal or less than what the big general retail sites charge.
The proceeds from the purchases you make from this trusted store go towards our Family Support Fund to help pay for the medical treatment for children with autism and other special needs. That's why the doctor established her store as an ongoing fundraiser. With autism and other special needs, there are typically underlying medical conditions that lead to a child’s symptoms. When those medical issues are successfully treated, the conditions improve, sometimes completely if caught early enough.
Our Family Support Fund -- Some Thank Yous From Parents “When my son received his ADHD diagnosis, I immediately knew that I wanted Dr. Taketa-Wong to treat him. However, the costs associated with his treatment were more than I could spare being a single mother. I was afraid I would not be able to get him the care he deserves. But thanks to the Family Support Fund which uses proceeds from her online store, I was provided with a very generous scholarship that has allowed us to pursue the treatment plan that’s right for him.
“I am so very grateful for the people who have made this possible by purchasing through the online store. This is just one more reason why I can confidently say this practice truly cares for their patients. Thank you so very much for the financial blessing that has afforded my son the best possible care!” -- Carla
“I would like to thank everyone who has supported Dr. Taketa-Wong’s supplement store. The donations that it generates for the Family Support Fund have allowed my son, Anthony, who has severe autism, to continue his necessary treatment. We are truly grateful for the financial assistance and hope one day to contribute to other families in need!” --The James Family
"We are so grateful for the generous support we receive from the Family Support Fund. Our daughter has many medical issues and at times it is just way too costly and out of our reach. However, because of the financial support we receive, we are able to treat her during those difficult times. Dr. Taketa-Wong and her dedicate staff are outstanding. Much mahalo to all those who purchase from her store. Our family is eternally grateful." --The Man 'Ohana
"Dr. Taketa-Wong has been my children’s doctor since 2021. She has navigated this special needs journey with us with a holistic approach unlike any other doctor. She is the best of Western and. Eastern medicine, ordering blood work labs, specialty tests for individual needs, and supplements -- including compounded prescriptions and herbs. She has also recommended resources and therapies and has a wealth of knowledge from her studies and experiences. Our pediatrician has stated that she is brilliant in her understanding of biochemistry.
"The doctor is very empathetic and generous with her time and in being there for us even through a very long financial hardship. She didn’t drop us when most other resources for my children did. She found a way to find funds so my children could continue to receive the same holistic medical care with her which has meant the world to my family.
"In this day and age it is truly rare to find that and to have a doctor who is there for you anytime your children are sick or have new or extra challenging symptoms. I would feel extremely lost and concerned without her because she is so knowledgeable and the only doctor who is really there for my children who have special needs including profound autism, trauma, disorders and delays. She understands. She continues to amaze me with all she has to offer for my family and her continuing education and dedication. She is always overseeing and reassessing and figuring out best treatments with my children’s current symptoms as they grow. I am extremely grateful for her. Dr. Taketa-Wong is wise and has a huge heart!" -- Jessie (mom) and the kids
"Our family is extremely grateful for every single person supporting Dr. Taketa-Wongs supplement store. If it wasn’t for Dr. Taketa-Wong, her amazing staff at the office, and of course everyone purchasing supplements, getting treatment for our 3 year old son with autism wouldn’t be possible. You have made such a huge impact in our lives, and we are forever grateful. Thank you so much." -A.A
