[in "About Naturopathic Medicine"]

"the principles of naturopathic medicine: [#1] first do no harm, primum non nocere [...] illness is a purposeful process of the organism. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms which are, in fact, an expression 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 mediatrix [sp., medicatrix] naturae – the healing power of nature [...#2] the healing power of nature, vis medicatrix naturae: the body has an inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent; nature heals through the response of the life force. The physician’s role is to facilitate this process";

Lai, G. (ND SCNM), Sinclair, S. (ND SCNM) state:

[in "Treatment Approaches: Acupuncture and Traditional Chinese Medicine"]

"early written accounts of TCM date back to 180 B.C. in China and are based on the belief that health is determined by balancing the flow of the vital life energy (called qi or chi) that circulates through all living organisms. According to acupuncture theory, qi circulates in the body along 12 major energy pathways, or meridians, which are associated with specific internal organs and organ systems. When special needles are inserted into certain points along these meridians, they help correct, balance and re-establish the proper flow of qi. Clinical research continues to demonstrate acupuncture's effectiveness for alleviating pain, increasing immune function and improving a wide variety of conditions by balancing the flow of vital life energy throughout the body";

"vitalism. Disease, in the homeopathic model, is thought to arise from inherent or developed weaknesses in the patient's defense mechanisms [...] this viewpoint is considered 'vitalistic' [...] the vitalistic and holistic perspective of the homeopathic approach [...] homeopathy holds that the disease first affects the vital force [...] vitalists stress the teleological behavior of organisms, i.e., the goal directedness and design in biological phenomena. Disease is therefore regarded as a positive expression of the organism's self-regulatory process [...] it is the natural wisdom of the body, the vis medicatrix naturae, or, using current scientific terminology, the tendency of the body to maintain homeostasis. Medical intervention often acts in conflict with these vital intra- and extra- cellular regulatory functions";
