The Healing Power of Nature
NDs act to identify and remove obstacles to
healing and recovery. Their goal is to facilitate
and augment the inherent self-healing process in
each individual.
Identify and Treat the Causes
NDs seek to identify and remove underlying
causes of illness, rather than suppress symptoms.
First Do No Harm
NDs use the least force necessary to diagnose
and treat illness. They acknowledge, respect
and work in conjunction with the individual’s
self-healing process.
Doctor As Teacher
NDs educate their patients and encourage
self-responsibility for health.
Treat the Whole Person
NDs treat each patient by taking into
account individual physical, mental
and social factors.
Prevention
NDs emphasize prevention of disease by
assessing risk factors, heredity and
susceptibility to disease.
