The philosophy ...

Mostly of the Naturopaths practicing right now, I will say the new generation, most of them forgot  that naturopathic medicine doesn't treat the "Disease, it treat the patient with the "Disease" , I quote disease because this term is wrong there is not Disease, what is that  they are sick people... Back to the original though.... mostly of ND are treating the disease which is not what we train for, they forget the healing process, top bottom, inside out, from the most important organ to the least and from the reverse order that the symptoms appear. I will leave with this example from a case... we have a patient with ovary fibroids, they way most of the ND do is that they treat the fibroids  instead of work with body to heal itself , it sounds easy and nonsense but guess what. once the spiritual, emotional, mental get address then the physical characteristics go way. Therefore, once you correct the physiology then the pathology will not take course and it will reverse back to health...

Philosophy of Natural Medicine

Every single Naturopath must have the following principles in mind :

1) First, do no harm ( primum nocere)  : use medical treatment by employing safe and effective natural treatment    
     without causing harm.
2) The power of nature ( vis medicatrix naturae): the human body posses the power  to heal itself. It is the duty of the physician to enhance this process.
3) Identify  and treat the Cause ( tolle causan) Naturopaths are trained to identified  and treat the cause of the illness  rather to suppress the symptoms.
4)  Treat the whole person : Remember that Naturopaths are trained to treat the individual  as whole, hence, treat mind-soul and body.
5) Doctor as a teacher :
6) Prevention: Naturopath are specialized in preventing the patient to get sick and give the body what it needs to maintain the vital force in harmony balance within the body.
