Naturopathic Doctors (ND’s) are trained as primary care physicians in 4 year medical schools. Besides the usual class load, every year we also had classes in nutrition, botanical medicine, chinese medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine (i.e. chiropractic manipulation) and health psychology. There are many differences between MD’s and ND’s. The principles of naturopathic medicine are what philosophically differentiates us from other doctors.
1. First, Do No Harm
2. Work With the Healing Power of Nature
3. Find and Address the Root Causes of Disease
4. Treat the Whole Person
5. Focus on Prevention
6. Doctor as Teacher
