Naturopathy Redefined

What

is Naturopathy? What is it really?

There wasn’t one decent description of it in the dozen dictionaries I

checked, so I had to refine the definition myself going back to basics. According to Webster’s, the word Naturopathy comes

from the three root words, " NATURE " ,

" O " and " PATHY " . " NATURE "

traces back to the Latin word “natus” which means

" birth or, Cause " . " O " ,

is Old English for the word “Of " , while " PATHY "

comes from the Greek word “pathos” meaning " Disease " . Well - this is absolutely wonderful,

for now at least a " working " definition can be created as

follows:

 

Naturopathy: A practice that deals with the Cause of a

Disease.

 

In using the words

" Nature " and “Natural " , it can be easily seen that man made

drugs and surgery as used by the psychiatrist and the medical doctor have

absolutely no place in Naturopathy

or in its description. Therefore

an exact definition is created as follows:

 

Naturopathy n. The science or art of treating a

disease by addressing the CAUSE, using Nutrition, Exercise,

Sunlight, Clean Air, Pure Water, Massage Exterior, Skeletal / Muscular

Manipulation, Hydrotherapy (both Hot & Cold), Confront, Prayer, Meditation,

Lifestyle, Biochemistry (which includes vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids,

etc.), and correcting any imbalances found. This would include but is not

limited to such existing sciences as Homeopathy, Chiropractic, Drugless

Dentistry, Drugless Optometry, Osteopathy, Dianetics, Drugless Nursing,

Herbalism, Acupuncture, and Acupressure. Naturopathy, as a practice, would not allow

for any invasive technique other than what was accessible in and through an

already existing orifice. (IE. The mouth, vagina, or anus) Teachers and Healers

beyond count have witnessed, that along with positive thoughts, the correction

of these imbalances permits the body to mend itself automatically, resulting in

excellent health. This is Naturopathy.

 

 

Teachers and healers beyond count have

witnessed, that the correction of these imbalances permits the body to mend

itself automatically, resulting in excellent health. Another thing is certain. By addressing the " Cause of a Disease " , Naturopathy as a

subject, science and practice, is senior to, and more effective in treatment

than Conventional Medicine that handles only symptoms.

This definition has continued to evolve as my research has over the last

several years.

 

Yours in Knowledge, Health and

Freedom,
