Any plant based doctors in Brandon or Manitoba?

?

Dr would be a scarecrow filled with straw with a stethoscope around it’s neck

Like a botanist? The weed store maybe?

I almost posted something like this. No offence to poster. Good play on words is all.

Are you looking for an herbalist or are you looking for someone who can give you information on how to change your diet to a plant based diet? I cannot help you regarding the availability of an herbalist but if you want to eat healthier by following a plant based diet I would suggest you talk with a Registered Dietitian. You can find contacts for one at your local hospital or look for a dietitian working a private practice in your area.  
 
To be honest physicians have only basic nutrition knowledge.

A doctor made of plants!

You comedic guys are to funny poor OP  
is that the same as a naturalpath Dr  
I would mind seeing natural path DR

Use a variety of supplements and treatments that may or may not be specifically plant-based.

Herbalists are typically not doctors, but have training in the herbs, but not medicine.  
 
There are naturopaths who are as knowledgeable as doctors in one sense, but they are not insured or certified in the same sense. They can only offer certain non-medical pres:criptions of herbs, vitamins and supplements. There are three naturopath clinics, maybe four, in Brandon.  
 
There is one naturopath who is a pain specialist that does injections for pain, in Winnipeg.  
 
In terms of medical cannabis, there are lots of sites online that you can contact to get your ACMPR papers.  
 
Take it easy.

If you are looking for herbalists, there are a number in Manitoba, but somehow mostly in or near Winnipeg.  
 
Hollow Red Holistic is run by one, Spirit of the Boreal is run by another registered herbalist, Dana Wood. I am familiar with a couple others, but don't know their names. Make sure they are properly registered if you go to them. Ask credentials. Check them out. They should be very open about their training and experience. I would not just go to anyone that claims to have some herbal knowledge. Herbalism is very involved at a clinical level. Registered herbalists have ethical & regulatory guidelines that they are required to adhere to to maintain their status.  
 
The herbalists I mentioned by name have websites.  
 
I did some looking and found this site below. There are really great links to herbal sources that I have learned a lot from, in particular, Michael Moore & Learning Herbs. http://www.herbsocietymb.com/herbalLinks.html Maybe they can direct you to someone?  
 
Maybe you can contact this Association as well for help locating the one you need: https://canadianherbalists.org  
 
Best wishes.

Medical doctors or specialists who recognize value of food as medicine for the promotion of good health and as a way to prevent, reverse, treat SAD diseases such as diabetes II, heart disease, high blood pressure, etc and also promote the lifestyle, have a passion to try and lessen and eliminate these diseases without heavy emphasis on medication administration to treat symptoms . ie along the lines of the likes of Dr Neal Barnard, Dr M Klaper, Dr Greger, Dr Mcdougall, Dr Esselstyn etc

In other words, you're looking for a doctor who's a disciple of veganism and will promote it to the detriment of other available treatments. A few of the names on your list I recognize, and the few I googled all seemed to be in line with that based on the (profitable) books they sell.  
 
You won't find too many of those, as that is an extreme view not espoused by the medical community at large. There are, however, many good doctors out there who take a relatively holistic approach to medicine who might be able to help you with your health concerns. It took 10 years for me to find a good doctor that's finally addressing my health concerns and referring me to the right people and prescribing the right medication. I feel better than I have in years.

No not neglect medicine and medical treatment not promote to the detriment of other treatments but really look at the origin of the diseases I mention at hand which very often are due to lifestyle choices and detrimental foods over time. Diabetes heart disease, high blood pressure often play hand-in-hand and they are all related to the poor artery function due to atherosclerosis related to poor lifestyle often due to foods drinks and certainly stress.  
Modern day medicine is heavy medication management, prescribing meds to suppress the undesired symptoms which inevitably becomes someone on meds for life for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, All of which originated with food and all of which can be treated with long term dietary changes and potentially eliminated overtime  
There is a difference between veganism and whole food plant-based eating. The doctors I listed are all medical doctors and cardiac doctors who over the course of their career grew tired of prescribing medications, ie insulin lowering meds, insulins, lipid lowering meds, several meds to alleviate all the symptoms caused by high blood pressure etc and not seeing their patients get better.

Dr. Mark Hyman would be another one to research. Too many Doctors/ people focus on treating symptoms with pres:criptions vs the root cause. I would love to see an excellent Functional Medicine Doctor here.
