Self Correction

When you cut your knee, it heals. However, if you get dirt and other junk in the cut, the inflammation continues. Thus, you clean it out so that it can heal quickly. There’s no mystery to this.

When you break your ankle, it heals. However, if it isn’t set properly, it takes much longer to heal, and when it does it still probably won’t work right. Again, there is no mystery to this.

Every day, people enter our office at Nature Cures Clinic after having been told by their MD, “You’ll need this medication (or “these medications”) for the rest of your life.” This would be true if it weren’t for the fact that the human body is incredibly adept at repairing what is wrong if just two things are accomplished:

Remove the thing(s) that shouldn’t be there

Supply the things that need to be there for healing to occur

This is not to suggest that it is always easy to figure these two things out. Nevertheless, if they are figured out, then healing happens. It’s just the way the body was designed.

Whether the problem is a cut knee, a broken ankle, ulcerative colitis or multiple sclerosis, the same principles apply.

If the conventional medical system were truly dedicated to improving the health of the people it serves, it would focus its resources on these two areas: figuring out what is present that maintains the symptoms and underlying imbalances, and figuring out what needs to be supplied in order for the body to carry out its normal healing response.

This is what naturopathic medicine does. It’s also why the conventional medical system isn’t interested in our methods: it focuses on patient health, not symptom suppression.
