Sick Father-In-Law

My Father-In-Law is so sick - for about a year now, at least. He's lost 20 pounds, excessive night sweats, depression, lack of energy, facial twitches, loss of appetite and sex drive. He's in his mid 40's, has a pretty unhealthy diet lacking in fiber and veggies, high stress job. He doesn't drink or smoke - he's been sober for almost 25 years, was a heavy drug user and drinker before that. He's been going to an MD general practice, and he's tested him for "everything" and "can't find anything wrong." My mother_in-law says she feels like someone "used magic on him or something" and is desperate - I told her to try Chinese herbal medicine or a naturopath or just anything alternative for a different take. They're not usually open to anything like that, but she says she's ready to try anything. Any ideas? We live in Portland, OR so I don't know a good naturopath where they live. Does anybody know of a naturopath they would recommend in the Riverside, or Orange County, CA area? Any help would be so appreciated as we are starting to really worry about him. Thank you.
