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.
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. 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.
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.
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. But if a person is strictly vegetarian it is not compulsory to have non-vegetarian diet.
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.
