Naturopathy
Healing Power of Nature, Diet,
Lifestyle Changes, Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), Minimise
Harm, Prevention is Best Cure, Treat Cause not Symptom, Holistic Healing
(Treatment of Whole Person, Mind, Body and Environment), History
The word naturopathy comes from Greek and Latin and literally translates as "nature disease."
Naturopathy is a whole medical system that originated in Europe. It aims to support the body's ability to heal itself through the use of dietary and lifestyle changes together with CAM (complementary alternative medicine) therapies such as herbs, massage, and joint manipulation. The emphasis is on supporting health rather than combating disease.
Main Ideas
The practice of naturopathy is based on six key principles:
1. Promote the healing power of nature (vis medicatrix naturae)
2. First do no harm. Minimise harmful side effects and do not suppress
symptoms.
3. Treat the whole person. Practitioners believe a person's health is affected
by many factors, such as physical, mental, emotional, genetic, environmental,
and social ones. Practitioners consider all these factors.
4. Treat the cause. Practitioners seek to identify and treat the causes
of a disease or condition, rather than its symptoms. Symptoms are signs
that the body is trying to fight disease, adapt to it, or recover from
it.
5. Prevention is the best cure. Practitioners teach healthy ways of living
that are most likely to prevent illness.
6. The physician is a teacher. Patients are educated to take responsibility
for their own health.
Brief History
Naturopathic health care is founded on approaches that were popular in Europe, especially in Germany, in the 19th century.
Naturopathy was named and popularized in the United States by Benedict Lust, who was born in Germany in the late 1800s. When Lust became seriously ill with tuberculosis, he was treated by a priest and healer in Germany named Sebastian Kneipp. Kneipp's treatment was based on:
* Hydrotherapy (water treatments).
* The "nature cure" movement,
which focused on restoring health through a return to nature. This movement
advocated therapies such as gentle exercise, herbal medications, wholesome
dietary approaches, and exposure to sun and air.
Lust found his health much improved from Kneipp's treatment, and when he immigrated to the United States at the turn of the 20th century, he was dedicated to popularizing it. He gave it the name naturopathy, led the way in developing it as a medical system in the United States, and founded the first naturopathic college and professional association.

Naturopathic Treatment for Ear Pain in Children
In the past 2 decades, there has been a substantial increase in the diagnosis of otitis media worldwide. In the United States, 93% of all children have had at least 1 episode of acute otitis media (AOM) by 7 years of age.
The objective of this study was to determine the efficacy and tolerability of naturopathic versus traditional treatment for the management of otalgia commonly associated with AOM in children.
The study showed each group had a statistically significant improvement in ear pain over the course of the 3 days. This suggests that in cases of ear pain caused by AOM in children in which active treatment, besides a simple 2- to 3-day waiting period, is needed, an herbal extract solution may be beneficial. Concomitant antibiotic treatment is apparently not contributory.

Help Humanity
"You must be the change you wish to see in the world."
(Mohandas Gandhi)
"When forced to summarize the general theory of relativity in one sentence:
Time and space and gravitation have no separate existence from matter. ... Physical objects are not in space, but these objects are spatially extended. In this way the concept 'empty space' loses its meaning. ... The particle can only appear as a limited region in space in which
the field strength or the energy density are particularly high. ...
The free, unhampered exchange of ideas and scientific conclusions is necessary for the sound development of science, as it is in all spheres
of cultural life. ... We must not conceal from ourselves that no improvement in the present depressing situation is possible without
a severe struggle; for the handful of those who are really determined to do something is minute in comparison with the mass of the lukewarm
and the misguided. ...
Humanity is going to need a substantially new way of thinking if it is to survive!" (Albert Einstein)
Our world is in great trouble due to human behaviour founded on myths and customs that are causing the destruction of Nature and climate change. We can now deduce the most simple science theory of reality - the wave structure of matter in space. By understanding how we and everything around us are interconnected
in Space we can then deduce solutions to the fundamental problems of human knowledge in physics, philosophy, metaphysics, theology, education, health, evolution and ecology, politics and society.
This is the profound new way of thinking that Einstein
realised, that we exist as spatially extended structures of the universe - the discrete and separate body an illusion. This simply confirms the
intuitions of the ancient philosophers and mystics.
Given the current censorship in physics / philosophy of science journals (based on the standard model of particle physics / big bang cosmology) the internet is the best hope for getting new knowledge
known to the world. But that depends on you, the people who care about science and society, realise the importance of truth and reality.

A new scientific truth does not triumph by convincing its opponents and making them see the light, but rather because its opponents eventually die, and a new generation grows up that is familiar with it. (Max Planck, 1920)
