- Educate the public
about the dangers of unhealthy lifestyles to themselves and their
environment
- Teach self-awareness
to change self-destructive patterns of behavior, unconscious
belief systems and unhealthy habits
- Teach positive thinking,
trust, self-love, and honesty to open the heart
2. Clinical Therapeutics
The clinical approach
consists of detoxifying and nourishing the body, the mind and
the heart. The most elegant approach is based on detoxification and
nutritional therapy. Detoxifying & fasting on juices, water or a raw
food diet is the most radical and the most efficient way to treat
and prevent most illness. The nutritional therapy is a stepping
stone to address mental, emotional and spiritual issues that
may create imbalance. To achieve this goal the following methods
are used: meditation, awareness techniques, breath work, laughter
therapy, guided imagery, movement and sound therapy. Adjuvant
therapies such as hydrotherapy, botanical medicine and homeopathy
may be used in conjunction with the nutritional therapy or afterwards.
The 6 Principles of Naturopathic Medicine:
The practice of naturopathic medicine is founded on six principles, formulated from the observation of health and disease, and examined in light of scientific analysis. These principles distinguish naturopathic medicine from other medical approaches.
- The healing power of nature.
The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain and restore health. The physician's role is to facilitate and augment this process, to act to identify and remove obstacles to health and recovery.
- Identify and treat the cause.
Underlying causes of disease must be treated before a person can recover. Symptoms are expressions of the body's attempt to heal, and should not be suppressed by treatment. The physician must evaluate underlying causes on all levels, treating causes rather than symptoms.
- Treat the whole person.
Health and disease are conditions of the entire organism, involving a complex interaction of physical, spiritual, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental, and social factors. The physician must treat the whole person by taking all of these factors into account.
- First do no harm.
Illness is a purposeful process of the organism. Symptoms are an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself. The physician's treatment must support the healing power of nature and therapy must be congruent with the internal order of the organism.
- Physician as teacher.
A cooperative doctor-patient relationship is, in itself, therapeutic. The physician's major role is to educate and encourage the patient to take responsibility for health, and to be a catalyst for healthful change. It is the patient, not the doctor, who ultimately creates or accomplishes healing.
- Prevention.
The ultimate goal of naturopathic medicine is prevention, accomplished through education and promotion of life-habits that create good health. The emphasis is on building health rather than on fighting disease.

Benedict Lust, 1925
"Let us learn and practice what we instinctively know to be a fact; namely that the present-day generation and misery of the human race can not be alleviated by laws and regulations, by loans and convenants, but improvement must come from within ourselves; it must come through a complete rebirth; through different mental attitude, different conception and conduct of life; through return of naturalness, true religion, simplicity, frugality, economy and joyous renunciation; through upbuilding and uplifting; through honesty and tolerance; through purposeful strengthening of body, mind and soul, so that we will again feel throbbing life within us, strong and powerful, enabling us to again enjoy life, nature, family life, art, book, picture and son, and to bear bravely whatever pains and vicissitudes life holds in store for us."
