"the healing power of nature [...] first described in western medicine by Hippocrates, the vis medicatrix naturae, is also referred to as chi in Chinese medicine, prana in ayurveda, and vital force in homeopathy. When alive, the vis medicatrix naturae enables humans and other living beings to resist entropy and decay, unlike inanimate objects that are subject to these effects. Creating treatment plans that harness the healing power of nature, [...] the essence of naturopathic medicine";

"Dr. Paul Mittman's essay for 'This I Believe,' the NPR media project intended to create a national discussion about beliefs and values [...] I believe in the healing power of nature [...when I got hurt] something inside me coordinated the healing and repair [...] completely involuntarily [...] Hippocrates, the father of western medicine [argument from authority], described that 'something' as the vis medicatrix naturae – the healing power of nature [...a] force [...] nearly every culture has a name for it — the Chinese call it chi, in India they refer to it as prana, the Japanese call it ki. Present when we are born and gone when we die [spirit], this animating force exists in every living plant and animal, including humans [...conventional] medicine has few insights into how to harness this powerful, healing force in people. When was the last time you read or heard about a breakthrough in how this energy of life can help maintain health and even cure disease? [...instead] treat[ing] disease by doing things to our patients with an array of medicines that typically begin with 'anti-' – antibiotics, anti-hypertensives, anti-inflammatories, anti-depressants [...] we [...should] should employ the tools to help channel and assist a patient’s intrinsic drive towards health and wellness [...supposedly] three leading causes of death, heart disease, stroke and diabetes, are due largely to environmental factors – poor diet, sedentary lifestyle and, for some, smoking [...] by simply cleaning up our personal and collective ecosystems [...] therapeutic lifestyle changes remove obstacles to cure, permitting [...] the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of nature to flow freely and help us regain that equilibrium we call health”;

[COUPLE this preceding insight with this following SCNM claim, and OBVIOUSLY the label of being HOLISTIC means essentially being VITALISTIC {vitalistic nonparsimonious immateriocentric metaphysical unevidenced holisticism} which is SCIENCE-DISCARDED and UNSCIENCEABLE thus ANY CLAIM of the naturopathic {since essentially vitalistic minimally} being SCIENTIFIC en masse is a DELUSION and MISLEADING [what is immediately below is exceptional dissembling obscurantism!]

"the term holistic health or holistic healing comes from the word whole, meaning complete. There is no one standard definition of holistic health, holistic healing, holistic medicine or holistic therapy. To doctors or healers, the term holistic health refers to using some form of natural therapy [the kind that doesn't differentiate between the natural and the supernatural, that is] that does not include conventional medicine. Holistic therapy often includes mind-body medicine, acupuncture and any modality that looks to treat the whole person with non-invasive measures. Many doctors or healers seek out a holistic health school to train in holistic medicine or holistic therapy. A Naturopathic medical school trains students in the art and science of naturopathic medicine, a holistic medicine approach where, in addition to the basic medical sciences, doctors are trained in holistic therapy and holistic health including: therapeutic nutrition, botanical medicine, Traditional Chinese Medicine, homeopathy and mind-body medicine. Does Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine teach holistic health? Absolutely. The curriculum at Southwest College is one of the strongest in holistic healing and holistic medicine among the Naturopathic medical schools. Students are trained in all of the Naturopathic modalities with a very strong foundation in traditional holistic therapy. Students are trained to become healers or doctors proficient in all holistic healing modalities as defined by Naturopathic Medicine" [what's not being said is that their holistic is minimally vitalistic-pantheistic-animatistic-teleological-metaphysically_holistic-a_priori AND THUS science antithetical; duh!; and 'mind-body' is, like UBCNM does, really all about 'mindbodyspirit'; there can be scientific holism in the parsimonious-materiocentric-physicalistic-rigorous-scientific sense, but THIS AIN'T THAT!];

SCNM's Mittman is quoted [by Winquist, M. (? ?) in her article 'Becoming A Great Physician - The Spiritual Nature of Medicine' as stating Awareness Magazine Sept.-Oct. 2000]{inner quotes}:

[and the 'further information' provided below the article states: "Dr. Paul Mittman, ND, DHANP, is President of Southwest College of Naturopathic Medicine & Health Sciences in Tempe, Arizona, offering an accredited four-year graduate program in naturopathic medicine, leading to a doctor of naturopathic medicine degree (ND). Naturopathic physicians are trained in the art and science of homeopathy, nutrition, acupuncture and oriental medicine, botanical and physical medicine, hydrotherapy, counseling and minor surgery. For more information on naturopathic medicine, please contact Southwest College at (480) 858-9100"];

"the lights are out. Seven people sitting quietly holding hands, eyes closed, feet gently on the floor, taking deep, relaxing, abdominal breaths — stress, tension and other worries melt away. A prayer is shared by someone in the group. Minutes pass, eyes are opened, hands release, everyone takes a deep breath and we are ready to go. This is a scene at Dr. Paul Mittman’s afternoon shift at the Southwest Naturopathic Medical Center. When asked how long he had been doing this kind of preparation before seeing patients, Dr. Mittman responded, “I was in Greece at a Homeopathy seminar and asked the instructor, a world renowned homeopath, what it would take for me to become a truly great physician, a real practitioner of the healing arts [Vithoulkas?]. I was thinking, what books should I read, what kind of training should I receive, and without even pausing, the doctor answered me — you must pray every day. Not just to clear your mind, but to get help from outside yourself, to keep your ego in check, and to help you and the patient access the healing power of nature, ‘vis medicatrix naturae’ which, for many people, has many names, including God [autoentheism]. I have followed his advice ever since and I must say the results have been quite striking”;

"Dr. Baral was drawn to pediatrics because of the high success rate of healing children through natural treatments. 'Pediatrics seems to be one of the most dynamic and exciting areas of naturopathic medicine,' he says. 'Children respond so much more quickly than adults to natural treatments, their vital force is strong and new. They don't have the years of sedentary lifestyle and abuse to their bodies that many adults have'";

The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms that are, in fact, expressions of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complementary to and synergistic with this healing process. The physician's actions can support or antagonize the actions of the vis medicatrix naturae, the healing power of nature [...] the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae). The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health.
