"naturopathic tenants[sp....] vis medicatrix naturae (the healing power of nature). Based on a tradition of healing known as vitalism, utilizing the healing spirit of nature. Our body has an inherent knowingness to heal and a desire to maintain homeostasis (balance and wellness). Naturopathic medicine focuses on strengthening this vital force by working with the body's natural rhythm so the body may heal itself";

."the foundation of naturopathic medicine is the vitalistic philosophy of the healing power of nature. This means that in every human organism there is a healing energy responsible for maintaining a balance in our immune system [...] optimum health is not restored and maintained by [...] correcting the underlying energetic state of the life force of the body";

"do you look, feel, think and perform your best? There is a system of health promotion and disease management and prevention that will allow you to take natural, safe and effective measures to restore your health and vitality [...] naturopathy prefers to prevent disease rather than to treat it. This is done through natural methods that strengthen the vital force within the person, giving the vitality needed to fend off potential sources of illness [...] to support and stimulate the body's inherent self-healing process and it is founded on the most time tested principle vis medicatrix naturae - the healing power of nature [...] homeopathy: the use of minute amounts of diluted natural substances to stimulate the body's self-healing abilities [...] energetic medicine: beyond [way LITERALLY] the chemical bonding of molecules and atoms, are fields of pure energy [the metaphysical VFS; the ideal] from which the atoms and matter of our physical bodies arise; these energy fields are the subtle body, composed of vibrational sheaths. There are many different forms of energy balancing therapies and tools. Spiritual exercise: the ultimate healer for each of us is our connection with divine spirit, however we perceive this force in our lives. Communion with spirit (prayer, meditation, contemplation, etc.) is an essential part of healing";

"homeopathy is a 200-year-old medical system used to treat a wide spectrum of health problems. It offers a way to gently enhance our inner healing resources through recognizing and reinforcing the adaptive reactions of our natural defense process. By choosing the correct, individually suited homeopathic medicine from the plant, mineral, animal or chemical kingdom, we can successfully work with the body's own natural defense mechanism [...] instead of suppressing symptoms, therapy can enhance the body's ability to heal itself [...] the miraculous life force within each of us, constantly strives to correct, restore and maintain every single cell, tissue and organ system in our body. Failure to succeed, more often than not, represents an interference to our innate healing energies, which has not been eliminated. The field of natural medicine harbors many keys to the resolution of such interference. Homeopathy is one such key";

Since vitality equals the vital force minus any obstructions [p.025…] the problem, as Hahnemann explains, is that disease is a disorder of the vital life force first, which then is manifest in the physical (material) plane. Of this life force he says “the material organism, without the vital force [etc…] the immaterial being (vital force’ [etc….] the language of this vital force is first expressed as symptoms and only much later as tissue changes.
