“Naturopathy is a distinct school of healing, employing the beneficent agency of Nature’s forces, of water, air, sunlight, earth power, electricity, magnetism, exercise, rest, proper diet, various kinds of mechanical treatment, and mental and moral science.”

Dr. J. E. Cummins

“Naturopathy is the science, art, philosophy of adjusting the framework, correcting the mental influences, and supplying the body with its needed elements.”

Edward Earle Purinton

“Naturopathy is the perfected Science of Human Wholeness, and it includes all agencies, methods, systems, regimens, practices and ideals of natural origin and divine sanction whereby human health may be restored, enhanced, and maintained.”

Ellen G. White   (1826-1915) 

"Disease is an effort of nature to free the system from conditions that result from a violation of the laws of health. In case of sickness, the cause should be ascertained. Unhealthful conditions should be changed, wrong habits corrected. Then nature is to be assisted in her effort to expel impurities and to re-establish right conditions in the system.” Ministry of Healing, p. 127
