Natural (holistic) philosophy says that the cause and cure of
all disease lie within the body. In most cases, the body able
to heal itself if provided with the opportunity. In fact, it
evolved, over millions of years, to do exactly this. Its sole
purpose is to maintain homeostasis, or to maintain itself in
an optimized condition of health, in order to preserve its life,
for as long as possible. The body’s success rate at managing
this has obviously been pretty good, or we would not have survived
as a species over these millions of years.
It does its healing from the inside out - from the brain and
spinal cord, outward through the nervous system, to every organ,
and cell and back again. Natural (Holistic) medicine works
on the philosophy of health,assisting the body to maintain
and restore itself by providing the gentle natural support
needed to allow and encourage the body and all its systems
to find its own built-in healthy balance (Homeostasis.)
The natural model does not treat disease rather it believes
that any dis-ease only represents an imbalance in the health
of the whole body and can never be viewed in dissection or
isolated in laboratory culture. Therefore, it cannot be treated
in isolation.
The Natural physician will tell you they cannot cure any dis-ease
they can only provide the necessary support that allows the
body to heal itself. That is how the cure takes place.
When you are in a state of health there will be hundreds of
times your immune system will conquer a disease without any
obvious symptoms ever being expressed.
