Fundamentals of Complementary and Alternative Therapies Just as the medicine of a fairly consistent approach of the disease, then al-alternative medicine. Most often in alternative medicine are the six principles of naturopathic medicine. In one form or another, these principles should be revised again and again in the second section of this text. The following principles are described by Dr. Catherine Downey and excerpts from his chapter on natural remedies. First The healing power of nature (Vis medicatix naturae) The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent: the healing of nature through the reaction of the life force. The doctor is to facilitate the process and enhance this process to take action to identify and support barriers to health, recreation and the creation of a healthy internal and external. In short, allow your body the right tools, and heal. 2nd Treat the whole person (the multifactorial nature of health and illness) Health and disease are conditions of the whole organism, involving a complex interaction of physical, emotional, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental and social. The doctor has all the people, by treating take into account all these factors. The harmonious functioning of all aspects of the individual is critical need for disease prevention and operation of an individualized, holistic approach to diagnosis and treatment. 3rd First Do No Harm (Primum non nocere) The disease is a deliberate process of the body. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms that are trying in fact the expression of life force to heal itself. Therapeutic measures should be complementary and synergistic with the effects of healing. The doctor can support the actions or interfere with the action of the Ombudsman vis naturae, if the methods developed for the symptoms, not causes are as dangerous and punishing avoid or minimize. The therapeutic measures applied in an orderly manner consistent with the internal order of the body. 4th Detect and treat the cause (Tolle causam) Diseases not without reason. Causes of disease must be identified and removed or treated before a person fully recover from an illness. Symptoms are expressions of the body is trying to heal, but they are not the cause of the disease, therefore, natural medicine immediately turns to the underlying causes of disease rather than symptoms. Causes may occur on many levels, including physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. The physician must assess the root causes at all levels, directing treatment at the cause rather than the symptomatic expression. Fifth Prevention (Prevention is the best “cure”) The ultimate goal of natural medicine is prevention. It is through education and promotion of healthy lifestyle habits that create good health achieved. The physician assesses risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease and makes appropriate measures to new dangers and risks to the patient should be avoided. The emphasis is on health rather than fight against the disease. Because it is difficult to be healthy in an unhealthy world, it is to live in the responsibility of both doctor and patient to a healthy environment in which to create. The sixth doctor as teacher (docere) Beyond an accurate diagnosis and appropriate prescription, the physician must work for poor health to establish interpersonal relationships with patients. A cooperative relationship doctor-patient relationship is inherent therapeutic value. The physician is to educate the general role and encourage them to assume responsibility for the health of the patient. The physician is a catalyst for change in good health, take the patient’s ability and motivation, and responsibility. It is the patient, not the doctor, who ultimately creates or accomplishes healing. The physician must strive to bring hope and understanding. Physicists have an obligation, personal and spiritual development to be good teachers.
