Corinthian Naturopathic College

Part of the Hippocratic Oath is to do no harm. Naturopaths do not use harmful substances, such as drugs and pharmaceuticals, and do not resort in dangerous procedures, such as surgery. They use natural substance such as herbs, natural vitamins, minerals and food supplements.

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

There can be no healing without a clean blood; disease never comes without a cause. In most cases, toxemia is the cause of many diseases. Bacteria and viruses thrive a in toxic blood. When the colon is clogged with putrefied fecal matter, the system is auto-intoxicated. “For [it is] the life of the flesh is in the blood.” (Leviticus 17:4)

Naturopath does not heal disease. The term “doctor” means teacher from the Latin word “docer.” This means that one of the important functions of the doctor is to teach the patients the best ways of avoiding disease. Patients have to be enlightened as to the nature and causes of their maladies, help them achieve a state of balance (homeostasis) and remain healthy into the future.
