what is "naturopath"?
157420
Naturopaths vary widely--and I mean WIDELY--in what they do but basically it's someone who believes that nearly all illnesses are either preventable or reversible through proper diet and healthy lifestyle choices.  \n\nNaturopaths come in all shapes and sizes.  Some are M.D.s, some are PhDs, and some have no formal training at all.  Some states license them just like (or close to) M.D.s while in other states naturopathy is illegal.  See what I mean by "widely"?  ;-)  \n\nThe best are both M.D.s and N.D.s.

Hi Yogesh\n\nNot sure about nucleor medicine, but plenty of natural cures.\n\nCause\nAbnormal immune response is believed be a possible cause of hypothyroidism. The exact cause is not known, but certain antibodies from the immune system will launch an assault on the thyroid, disturbing hormone production. Lumps or tumors that form on the thyroid also disrupt hormone production. Temporary hyperthyroidism can be caused by infection or inflammation, and certain prescription drugs. \n\nHyperthyroidism is less common than Hypothyroidism, yet for both diseases, women appear to be more susceptible than men. Be aware that a malfunctioning thyroid may be the cause of recurring illnesses. \n\n\n--------------------------------------------------------------------------------\n\nNatural Cures\n\nDiet: Eat an organic, whole foods diet, emphasizing foods that naturally suppress excess thyroid hormone production. Such foods include broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, kale, mustard greens, rutabagas, spinach, turnips, soybeans, peaches, and pears.\n Eliminate dairy products, over consumption of wheat products, coffee, tea, and caffeinated soft drinks. \n\nHydrotherapy: Hydrotherapy is the application of water, ice, steam and hot and cold temperatures to maintain and restore health. Treatments include full body immersion, steam baths, saunas, sitz baths, colonic irrigation and the application of hot and/or cold compresses. Hydrotherapy is effective for treating a wide range of conditions and can easily be used in the home as part of a self-care program. Many Naturopathic Physicians, Physical Therapists and Day Spas use Hydrotherapy as part of treatment. I suggest several at-home hydrotherapy treatments. \n\nHomeopathy: The homeopathic remedy Thyroidium is very helpful in assisting in proper thyroid regulation.\n\nJuice Therapy: Drink carrot, celery, spinach, and parsley juice; or juice made from a combination of cabbage, watercress, and spinach.\n\nNutritional Supplementation: The following nutrients can help regulate thyroid function: vitamin A, vitamin B complex, vitamin B1 (thiamine), vitamin C, calcium, magnesium, choline, trace minerals, iodine, kelp, and thyroid glandulars.\n\nAlternative Professional Care\nIf your symptoms persist despite the above measures, seek the help of a qualified health professional. The following professional care therapies have all been shown to be useful for treating hyperthyroidism: Acupuncture, Biofeedback Training, Homeopathy, Magnetic Field Therapy, Naturopathic Medicine, Qigong, and Traditional Chinese Medicine. \n\nBest of health to you

Nudism, or naturism, is the practice of going nude or unclothed in social and usually mixed gender groups, specifically in cultures where this is not the norm. It sometimes occurs furtively in secluded places in countries where appearing naked in public is illegal, but enjoys widespread acceptance in other areas of the world. Those who practice nudism are called nudists \n\n\nWell for your second question: No way I would not ever thiink of it.

Naturopathic doctors have been treating HIV with natural compounds for years the only reason you don't hear more about them is that they are suppressed by the FDA who are in cahoots with the big drug companies only because they can't \npatent a natural substance. Look at colloidal silver, olive leaf concentrate and grapefruit seed extract online and decide for yourself.

That means Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine. He's an osteopath, which is one of several "alternative" forms of medical practice. The conventional doctor (an MD) is an allopath...a doctor of allopathic medicine.\n\nThe American Academy of Osteopathy's position is that they are not "alternative," but many allopaths disagree.\n\nThat said, you can find DOs just about anyplace you find MDs, and they are increasingly indistinguishable. ERs have 'em, and so do many specialty practices. I've encountered a bunch of them as a paramedic, and they're good docs.\n\nThe main idea behind osteopathy is a focus on an entire person, rather than individual symptoms, and an emphasis on "manipulation," mostly of joints, as a way to heal.\n\nFrom the Academy's website:\n\n"DOs use what is called osteopathic manipulative treatment (OMT). OMT is a technique in which the DOs use their hands to diagnose injury and illness, giving special attention to the joints, bones, muscles, and nerves. Manipulations improve circulation, which in turn, creates a normal nerve and blood supply, enabling the body to heal itself."

Many Naturopathic Physicians and some medical doctors trained in either Environmental Medicine or Functional Medicine may be very helpful for you.  You can find a list of Functional Medicine docs at the website for the "Institute of Functional Medicine" (just do a web-search for that name to get the website).\n\nThese types of doctors will work with you to identify and correct the underlying biochemical imbalances that are causing your symptoms.\n\nBest wishes and good luck.

This is an interesting question.  I believe that nearly all patients, when they arrive in a herbologist's practice, already have their diagnosis in hand from a medical doctor.  They often arrive with their blood work, X-rays, MRIs and other tests.  They know what is going on, and they've sought out the herbologist or nutrition therapist for that extra dimension of knowledge and specialized expertise that will help the healing process.\n\nFurthermore, every herbologist I know is well-trained in adjunct therapies such as nutrition, traditional Chinese medicine, acupuncture and others.  They've all studied biochemistry, anatomy, physiology.  They're offering complimentary herbal therapies beyond what the busy MD, who hasn't time to study these, can provide.\n\nIt's nonsense to say that herbal remedies haven't changed in hundreds of years.  In its broadest sense, the field of nutrition therapy, which includes herbology since herbs are plants, many foods are plants and the same phytochemicals exist in both, is expanding dramatically at present.  In almost every medical school today, researchers are studying phytochemicals and nutraceuticals for their capacity to stabilize and even "help reverse certain disease states," as your correspondent Veg Ryan has written.  It is said that what we are seeing right now is another era of astonishing discoveries, comparable to the great decades of vitamin discovery from the 1920s through the 1960s and 70s.\n\nConsider the omega-3 essential fatty acids.  These are being studied for their help with inflammation, rheumatoid arthritis, cardiovascular disease, macular degeneration, cataracts, Alzheimer's, diabetes, obesity.  In the herbologist's corner, we find these omega-3s in the plant purslane, regarded as a weed - but a few purslane recipes have recently cropped up in recipes in edgy magazines and leading newspapers.\n\nConsider cardiovascular disease.  In its early stages one can observe a good synergy between doctors today and nutrition therapists, because the best approach is lifestyle change through diet and exercise.   Many doctors will send the cardio patient first to a nutrition therapist before loading on the powerful meds with their side effects.  The herbologist has knowledge of specific plants - hawthorn, horsetail, garlic, lemon balm, flax seed oil - that can help lower blood pressure and cholesterol, so she or he serves as a member of the team that will assist the patient in re-formatting his lifestyle.\n\nWith respect to your candida example, surely it would be hopelessly counter-productive to believe the patient has this, to recommend herbs and protocols, yet never to tell the patient what you're treating them for?  This is perhaps a difficult example, because candida overgrowth, to best of my knowledge, is a condition not yet agreed-upon by western MDs, there are some who argue the idea is a fiction.\n\nI have great respect for the MDs who will offer a suggestion that's outside the realm of western medicine.  Usually they precede this by saying "some patients have told me that such-and-such can help."  There's nothing in such a remark that compromises their professional training, they are simply passing on anecdotal information.  Surely, in a herbologist's practice the same approach can be used.

Biomedical is the común med, when dr r to cientific and they dont get to know the feeling of the person and stuff like that.\nSocial is the medicine that is looking to solve the society problems, cause they think those problems r helping people to get sick. (Such es economy, pollution and stuff)\nAnd holistic studies humans, in all the way: feelings, economy, backround, hows the house they r living, causes, etc to make a diagnostic. So this kind is better. And of course they r not against natural medicine, acupunture, and all the alternatives.\nBiological only gives u a medication that haves been proved by sience.

I looked it up on Yahoo and found nothing.  In addition, I'm a well-read med student and I've never heard of it.  Are you sure you have the name straight?

Not sure if this is what you are looking for or not...\n\nOrganic Personality Syndrome or Organic Mental Syndrome is a mental disorder characterized by a short-term or long-term personality disturbance largely due to brain dysfunction. The ability to reason, remember, imagine, and learn may not be affected, but the individual's judgement may be so poor that continual supervision may be necessary. Left unattended, he or she may behave in ways that could cause difficult or dangerous problems

Results vary with this particular medication. Personally as a Naturopath I am against it as it is often prescribed without any counselling etc to go with it and it winds up masking the underlying problem which can be catastrophic when it decided to surface later in a much more severe way.\n\nIf you are going to take it then make yourself aware of the side effects firstly so you will recognize them when they occur, and secondly make sure you are recieving counselling for the problems that took you there in the first place.\n\nHope this has helped you out.\n\nCraig - Naturopath.

My theory is that what we call modern medicine ( pharmaceuticals ) are the REAL "Alternative Medicine" ... Herbs, accupuncture, vitamins, minerals and healthy diet are ORIGINAL medicine .... You might check into the NNFA about the main contraversies regarding what most people call alternative medicine
