Your body has a BLUEPRINT, a SCHEMATIC of what perfect health is for you - and it is constantly trying to achieve this perfect health. All that goes wrong is that you get in the way of this natural process."
The basic tenet of naturopathy is that human life is governed by the same self-regulating, self-repairing forces that care for all living things. The methods are natural, and utilizes readily available God given resources such as pure food, water, light and oxygen. The traditional naturopath, can assist clients with identifying the improvements in daily lifestyle that would support the "whole" body in healing from within using non toxic therapies. It is our job to sort out the pure, and help you eliminate the chemicals, xenotoxins, excitotoxins and life negative agents that cause so much stress, disease and depression that is abundant in our society today.
HEALTHCARE FOR A CHANGING WORLD
"Traditional Naturopathy: is a distinct system of non-invasive healthcare and health assessment in which neither surgery nor drugs are used, dependence being placed only on education, counseling, naturopathic modalities and natural substances, including the use of foods and juicing, botanical medicine, vitamins, minerals, enzymes, digestive aids, essential oils, homeopathic preparations, air, water, hydrotherapy, detoxification, sound, light, guided imagery, EMF reduction, etc.; and the physical modalities of far infrared magnetic therapy, TDP therapy, naturopathic bodywork and exercise to help stimulate and maintain the individual's intrinsic self-healing processes." All without pages of warnings, side effects & damages. Dr. McGill will compound herbal formulas designed specifically for you, that she may suggest for your program. She is involved with the newest nanotechnology that offers energy and stamina without stimulants. Software for the human body.
Naturopathy dates back to Hippocrates who is considered the father of modern medicine. His true fame rests on healing his patients according to the basic principle of nature cure. He depended more on the right diet than on drugs. He is known for “First do no harm” and “Nature is the physician of our diseases". A wise prophetic man.
Doctors of Naturopathy have college degrees in Holistic Health and Nutrition. They are trained specialists in natural medicine, preventive health care and integrating scientific knowledge with traditional healing wisdom. They are health care professionals who use safe, gentle, non-invasive therapies, to assist the whole person in maximizing the body's inherent self-healing capacity. They tailor their therapies to meet the individual needs of each person.
Naturopaths practice the six fundamental principles of naturopathic medicine...
The Healing Power of Nature - Trust in the body's inherent wisdom to heal within.
Identify and Treat the Causes - Look beyond symptoms and deal with the underlying cause.
First Do No Harm - Utilize the most natural, least invasive and least toxic therapy.
Doctor as Teacher - Educate patients in the steps to achieving and maintaining health, teaching them to be responsible for their own health.
Treat the Whole Person - View the body as an integrated whole in all it's physical and spiritual dimensions.
Prevention - Focus on overall health, wellness and prevention of dis-ease. Diet and lifestyle.
Health should be a lifestyle process based on wellness care and prevention, rather than just disease and illness treatment.
Going back to nature... is the philosophy behind Holistic Alternatives.
