When Not to Save the Best For Last
When it come to choosing your health care, being an educated consumer goes a long way. Most people seek naturopathic care as their last resort. By then the body might have reached its point of no return. This is commonly seen with cancer. Patients seek naturopathic care after the conventional medical system has failed them.
Over the past century naturopathy has become the “alternative” medicine. However, most forms of naturopathy have been practiced for thousands of years like homeopathy, traditional Chinese medicine, botanical medicine, nutrition and hydrotherapy. According to Dana Ullman’s book, The Homeopathic Revolution, at least eleven American Presidents used homeopathic medicines or sponsored legislation to allow homeopathic practice. Furthermore, in non-naturopathic medical schools today, medical students are given the option to take one elective nutrition class during their entire duration of studying. Whereas naturopathic medical school students are required to take nutritional courses almost every quarter. As Hippocrates said dating back to 431 B.C., “Let food be thy medicine and medicine be they food.” We are what we eat, what we absorb and what we assimilate. Why is nutrition not payed attention to in our current healthcare system?
The principles of naturopathic medicine were first used by the Hippocratic School of Medicine in 400 B.C. Naturopathy includes the following six key principals: first do no harm, the healing power of nature, identify and treat the root cause, treat the whole person, education is key and the best cure is prevention. Naturopathy is a way of life, it is a lifestyle. When it comes to your health there are no short cuts. Schedule your appointment with us today and have your natural awakening!
