Myths About Naturopathy |
|
|
æ
Naturopathy is short of scientific base
If after going through this web site one found it that
naturopathy has no scientific base then one should prove it.
æ
Advantage of naturopathy over modern medicine.
Every pathy is incomplete. Effectiveness of treatment system lies in its
success to treat the disease, not merely control the sign and symptoms
of the disease. Despite the advancement in medical sciences there are
still many questions are unanswered in field of treatment and diagnosis.
But naturopathy uproots the root cause of disease. Hence the success
rate of treatment is great
æ Naturopathy
is effective only in chronic diseases not in
acute infective diseases.
Rapid reaction of control system in response to acute changes by
pathogen is perceived as sign of acute diseases. Naturopathy is a
science that tries to maintain homeostatic condition by
thermoregulation, glucoregulation and osmoregulation.
Hence it is applied properly.
Naturopathy is effective in control of acute diseases, but in medical
emergency treatment of modern medicine is best.
æ
Naturopathy has no side
effects.
Side effects if referred to as misuse of certain substance, then in
naturopathy if treatment modalities are not used properly. Certainly
make patient and doctor to land in trouble.
æ
Role of
magnetotherapy, acupuncture, reiki, applied kinesiology, auto urine,
iridology, electrodiagnosis, hair analysis, live cell analysis in
diagnosis and treatment of diseases All of magnetotherapy, acupuncture,
reiki, applied kinesiology, auto urine, iridology, electrodiagnosis, and
hair analysis, live cell analysis are not part of naturopathy.
Naturopathy is based
on physiology and biochemistry. Fundaments of diagnosis and treatment
modalities are back up by physiology of homeostasis.
I don’t see any such evidence in magnetotherapy, acupuncture, reiki,
applied kinesiology, auto urine, iridology, electrodiagnosis, and hair
analysis, live cell analysis.
People who practice such things under the name of naturopathy are
quacks.
æ
According to
naturopathy one’s diet should confine to boiled vegetables devoid of
spices and less oil and non-vegetable is restricted.
Diet is basic
concept in naturopathy, because it is believed that “ your food is your
medicine”.
Habit of diet depends on climate, age, races and religions. Eccentric
habits of diet surely but burden on regulation system hence diet should
be wholesome.
In therapeutic diet it is advised to have food as per hunger and
appetite, but certainly spices/ oil/ salt are restricted. It is not that
you only have to take boiled food only. The general ingredients needed
for preparing vegetable are allowed.
Non-vegetable diet is hot debate for naturopath.
I don’t think it is strictly no for everybody. If person is not getting
enough of supplement from vegetarian food and that person is
non-vegetarian in nature some non-vegetarian preparation can be advised.
But if a person is strictly vegetarian it is not compulsory to have
non-vegetarian diet.
æ
Medication is suddenly discontinued.
Drugs and medicine are gradually withdrawn as per response of patient to
treatment of naturopathy. After proper relevant investigation dosage are
reduced or medicine is withdrawn.
Before withdrawal of medicine it is ensured that diet and treatment
modalities are able to carry the responsibility of purpose of medicine.
æ
When disease is
cured by taking medicine for short time without diet restriction. Why
opt for lengthy naturopathy treatment.
Some diseases are certainly cured by taking medicines for short time
without any diet restriction like in malaria and some infective
diseases. But in those conditions if naturopathy utilizes it is
certainly beneficial.
Naturopathy is not time consuming pathy. Actually onset of disease is
result of consumes of control system. Break in of control system is
gradual process. Hence restoring of control system also happens
gradually.
