"The tradition of naturopathic medicine holds that the health and vitality of an individual depends on the health of the liver and the whole digestive system. The liver's basic functions are vascular, secretory, and metabolic. As a vascular organ, the liver is a major reservoir of blood and filters over one quart of blood per minute. The liver removes bacteria, endotoxins, antigen-antibody complexes, and other particles from the circulatory system. The liver's secretory functions are the synthesis and secretion of bile. The liver manufactures about one quart of bile daily." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "However, from a naturopathic medicine standpoint, this should be done sparingly. This is like taking a heartburn medicine but still eating spicy Polish sausages. The food is still aggravating you, you are just temporarily protected from the immediate bodily response. The fact that these foods are causing symptoms means that they are causing irritation and inflammation. mmmmmmmmnmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmimmmm Calcium Glycerophosphate (Prelief) 2 packets 3 times daily with meals Add 2 packets of powder to a serving of acidic food or beverage." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "A whole new generation of naturopaths looked to him for their wisdom as the holder of true naturopathic medicine. The story goes, a young naturopathic medical student asked Dr. Bastyr, "How are we supposed to know what therapy to choose when there are so many different medicines and systems to choose from?" Dr. Bastyr calmly and quickly responded, "Choose what works." Another question was posed to Dr. Bastyr: "How can you tell an excellent physician from a good physician?" Dr. Bastyr's answer: "The results." My second guiding principle is that of choice." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.) "This organ-specific as well as constitutional approach is a common theme in many alternative medicine disciplines, and especially naturopathic medicine.

"Having early on expressed support for Nazi medical euthanasia programs ("it would not be fair if the German physician thought that he need not make a responsible contribution to a politics of necessary extermination"),46 Weizsacker was, by the late 1930s, contributing a regular monthly column on psychosomatic matters to a journal of naturopathic medicine called Hippokrates." - Anne Harrington, The Cure Within: A History of Mind-Body Medicine (Get the book.)

"Nonetheless, a study at the National College of naturopathic medicine in Portland back in the 1990s indicated that it may be helpful, though the effect is mild.

The standard dose is 600 mg of freeze-dried nettles a day, though some people use more. It's also most effective if you start using it at the first onset of symptoms.

"The liver is so central to your body's overall functioning capacity that a basic tenet of naturopathic medicine is that many diseases can be treated through addressing the liver. In other words, if you can optimize your liver's function, you may help alleviate or cure other health problems either directly or indirecdy. The Life Force of the Liver: While the liver actually resides in the upper part of your abdomen on the right side, it's positioned here in the center to represent how fundamental it is in a variety of body functions." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

That position stands in great contrast to the position of conventional medicine held by drug companies, medical schools, and the FDA.

"Frequently, the underlying belief focuses on what naturopathic medicine calls vis medicatrix naturae, or the healing power of nature. This idea was a central tenet of medicine as taught by Hippocrates, Moses Maimonides, the German physician Christoph Hufeland, and the early American physician Jacob Bigalow.
