Some Things You Must Know Before Accessing Naturopathic Medicine Atlanta GA

By James Cole


Naturopathy is a holistic medicine. Holistic therapy is an umbrella under which there exist many different disciplines. Some of these are naturopathic medicine Atlanta GA, homeopathic therapy, chiropractic therapy, ayurvedic therapy, traditional Chinese therapy, acupuncture, and herbalism. Holistic therapy, holistic philosophies, stands in direct distinction to reductionistic medical philosophy.

There is holism and reductionism. Reductionism, of course, argues the human body is a machine made of parts waiting to break. It stems from their believe that consciousness itself is a function of biochemistry and it is the doctors' job not to cure the condition but to manage their symptoms with drugs and or surgery.

Holistic physicians have different argument. It is their believe that human body is a system. This system is made of up of inter-related parts inhabited and informed by a spiritual vital force, and that consciousness is first followed by the spiritual body.

Holistic practitioners believe that the human body is endowed with a God-given intelligence which is orchestrating everything that is happening inside of the human body at any moment in time. Your body has wisdom, your body is so smart and intelligent that it grew itself all by itself. From a single cell organism into a complex one.

If the body grew itself all by itself then it definitely has the ability to fix itself. Though holistic physicians believe that, medical doctors, who are reductionistically trained, firmly do not believe it. It is because of this firm unbelieve from medical doctors that make them prescribe medications that are just intended to take care of symptoms and not cure.

There is no doubt the human body is capable of fixing itself. That is what naturopath are trained for. They put the body in a position that it can fix itself naturally. The term naturopathic comes from the fact that the body can naturally fix itself. It is not because naturopaths use therapeutics that occur naturally. Drugs and surgery can be used naturopathically.

The intention of naturopathic therapeutic is to support and promote the body's natural, God-given, built-in ability over. Now if you are up against a health condition and you had the choice of going to a medical professional who is trained that the body can't fix itself and whose job it is simply to manage your symptoms with drugs and surgery or to avail yourself of the services of a licence regulated physician who has been trained in attempting to cure your condition, who would you choose? Of course, you would choose the latter and do it professionally.
