Naturopathy's Essential Vitalism - Maiella, E. (ND Bastyr): Maiella, E. (ND Bastyr) states in "Naturopathic Therapeutic Order" (see http://www.valleynaturopathicfamilymedicine.com/index.php?content=nto ): "[#1.] stimulate the vis medicatrix naturae (other names for 'vis' include 'qi,' 'prana,' 'life force'). This is the force that moves us towards health; it is the essence that invigorates us. Some modalities that we utilize to stimulate the 'vis' include hydrotherapy, exercise, yoga, mediation [sp.?, meditation?], craniosacral therapy, energy medicine and homeopathy." Note: for my aggregation of naturopathy's essential vitalism, see http://thevitalismofnaturopathy.blogspot.com/ . For the profoundly nonscientific status of such vitalism, visit http://novfsinscience.blogspot.com/ . (for further enlightenment, visit http://standtoyourduty.blogspot.com ).
