My Story
Naturopathy is a distinctively natural approach to
health and healing that recognizes the integrity of
the whole person. Naturopathy emphasizes
therapy through the stimulation and enhancement
and support of the inherent healing capacity to the
person. Methods of therapy are chosen to work
with the client's vital force, respecting the
intelligence of the natural healing process.
Naturopathy emerges from multiple underling
principles of healing:
-The healing power of nature vs. medicatrix
naturae. Naturopathy recognizes an inherent self
healing process in the person which is ordered
and intelligent.
-Naturopathic Doctors act to identify and remove
obstacles to healing and recovery and to
encourage this inherent self-healing process.
-Identify and remove the cause. Illness does not
occur without cause. Naturopathic Doctors identify
and help remove underlying causes of illness and
therefore eliminate symptoms as well. The ND
must help evaluate the client's cause for illness
including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual.
-First do no harm. Primum no nocere.
Naturopathic Doctors use methods and therapies
which minimize the risk of harmful side effects.
And avoid the harmful suppressing of symptoms.
-Recognize the whole person. Health and illness
are a result of complex interactions of an individual
and environment, genetics, social, physical,
emotional and mental factors. All aspects of a
person' s life have to be balanced before a
satisfactory level of health can be reached.
-The doctor as teacher. Docere. Naturopathic
Doctors share information and knowledge with
their clients and encourage self-responsibility for
health.
-Prevention. The ultimate goal of Naturopathy is
prevention. This is accomplished through
assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility
to ill health. Prevention is the best "****".
-God designed the human body to be healthy.
Following God's natural laws of health are
essential to healing.
We look forward to continuing to educate people
