Book Description
How naturopathy works to establish good health and protect against the toxic causes of illness • Shows how cleansing the body’s internal cellular environment with diets and fasts removes the chief cause of disease • Explains the role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining good health and peak energy Illness does not appear by chance. It is the direct result of the way we live--what we eat and drink, if we have enough physical exercise, and our state of mind. The basic principles of naturopathy recognize this reality, and its treatments are designed to support our present state of good health or to help us get back to it. Christopher Vasey, author of the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, explains that naturopathic treatments do not attempt to cut off symptoms but instead focus on removing toxic causes. All diseases stem from an unbalanced or dysfunctional biological terrain. This occurs when the body’s internal cellular environment becomes clogged with wastes or when it lacks essential vitamins and mineral nutrients. In this naturopathic guide to health and healing, Vasey shows how to remove toxins from the body using diets, fasts, and detoxifying cleanses. He points to the key role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining peak energy and explains what natural supplements to take to restore deficient nutrients in the body. Vasey believes that the greatest part of achieving health is in our own hands. His book provides a comprehensive set of naturopathic tools to help us restore our optimum health.

Book Description
Naturopathy for Beginner's Evolve to the Alternate Form of Naturopathic Medicine for a Healthier, More Natural You Naturopathy has proven itself to be as effective, but not as damaging, as any other modern treatment. It is a type of alternative medicine that does not use modern drugs and chemicals. Practitioners of naturopathic medicine believe that the body has the power to heal itself without the intervention of chemicals. The body already has the necessary instruments to become healthy; it just needs to know how to use them. Naturopathy includes a wide variety of natural treatments and uses a holistic approach to any medical affliction. This type of alternative medicine combines authentic knowledge with the discoveries of modern science and brings a new way of treating the body without risking long term injury. The roots of naturopathy go back thousands of years, and since ancient times, people have used the benefits of nature to maintain their health. The procedures are meant to be as minimally invasive as possible. Surgery and modern medicine are recommended only in extreme cases. Otherwise the body's energy, together with natural ingredients, is all that is needed to heal almost any disease. Additionally, naturopathy emphasizes the importance of careful prevention, rather than desperate treatment. Alternative Medicine Here Is A Preview Of What You'll Learn...

A Path to Healing

Author: Andrea D. Sullivan
Publisher: Doubleday Books
ISBN: 9780385485753
Category : Health & Fitness
Languages : en
Pages : 310

Book Description
Twenty years ago, at age twenty-nine, Andrea Sullivan was a high-level executive at HUD in a state of what she now calls "dis-ease": stressed out, thirty-pounds overweight, with a face full of acne. Moved by a desire to help her community and herself in a "meaningful way," she quit her job and decided to become a doctor. She applied and was accepted to Bastyr Medical School for Alternative Medicine and became a naturopathic physician. Since then, Dr. Sullivan has been at the vanguard of naturopathic medicine and has helped hundreds of African Americans create dramatic and lasting lifestyle changes. Unlike traditional doctors, naturopathic physicians, with the aid of herbs, roots, and other natural remedies, treat the patient, not the disease. Here, in easy-to-understand language, Dr. Sullivan provides an overview of alternative medicine (paying close attention to naturopathy), discusses the African American tradition and its link to naturopathic medicine, and delves into stress, high blood pressure, arthritis, obesity, depression, and diabetes (all problems that plague African Americans), and prescribes an overall guide to maintaining health and keeping disease at bay. In "A Path to Healing, Dr. Sullivan makes a convincing case for naturopathic medicine as the best way to prevent disease and treat chronic illnesses, while not discounting the use of traditional Western medicine, especially in cases of traumatic injury.

Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Atherosclerosis is responsible for the majority of heart attacks and is the root of coronary heart disease. Plaque buildup in the arteries causes atherosclerosis; luckily, however, through knowledge of our bodies and making small and large changes in the way we live, this deadly condition can be stopped and even reversed. Dare to Live, by author and naturopathic doctor Stephen W. Parcell, brings to the forefront natural, preventive, and medically proven strategies for combating coronary artery disease and its effect on our lives. This is not a diet book or an attempt to push a new fad; Dare to Live is a first-of-its-kind look at atherosclerosis from the naturopathic medical standpoint. Rather than just telling us what to do, Parcell presents in language accessible to everyone the causes of the disease, the rationale behind assessing risk for it, the purpose of the various tests he recommends, and the scientific evidence behind his recommendations. Understanding what our bodies are trying to tell us is the first big step in preventing heart disease, and the next big step-acting on our knowledge-can teach us more than we might believe possible. By pursuing natural, scientific methods, we can keep health close to our hearts and keep a major killer away from ourselves and our loved ones.

Naturopathy Around the World

Author: Hans A. Baer
Publisher: Nova Science Publishers
ISBN: 9781606925904
Category : Alternative medicine
Languages : en
Pages : 0

Book Description
Whereas various professionalised heterodox medical systems found in Western societies, such as homeopathy, chiropractic, osteopathy, Chinese traditional medicine, and even acupuncture have been the object of considerable historical and social scientific research, naturopathy has been, at best, spotty. This book constitutes the first effort to provide a broad social historical and ethonographic account, particularly in the United States, Canada, and Australia, but to a lesser extent in Germany, Britian, New Zealand and India. Naturopathy emerged in the early twentieth century under the leadership of Benedict Lust, a German immigrant to the United States who had studied under Father Kneipp (a strong proponent of water cure), as a highly eclectic therapeautic system that drew not only from hydropathy, but also herbalism, colonic irrigation, dietetics, fasting, exercise, iridology, and manipulative therapy. While some naturopaths advocate these modalities, others today draw upon homeopathy, vitamin and nutritional supplements, acupuncture, Ayurveda, and other therapies. Naturopaths or naturopathic physicians are the ultimate therapeutic eclectics within the broader confines of complementary and alternative medicine. Yet naturopathy is not a monolithic entity but has been shaped by historical developments in the larger plural medical systems and national sociopolitical contexts in which it is embedded. Like other medical systems, naturopathy is a cultural construction with fluid borders within specific countries across the globe.
