The book is a naturopathic guide to health and healing.
by Christopher Vasey, N.D.
Illness does not appear by chance. It is the direct result of the way we live — what we eat and drink, the amount of physical exercise we get and our state of mind.
The basic principles of naturopathy recognize this reality, and its treatments are designed to support our present state of good health or return to it. In this naturopathic guide to health and healing, Vasey explains that naturopathic treatments do not attempt to cut off symptoms, but instead focus on removing toxic causes.
All diseases stem from an unbalanced or dysfunctional biological terrain, which occurs when the body’s internal cellular environment becomes clogged with wastes or when it lacks essential vitamins and mineral nutrients.
Vasey shows how to remove toxins from the body using diets, fasts and detoxifying cleanses. He points to the key role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining peak energy and explains which natural supplements to take to restore deficient nutrients in the body.
He believes the greatest part of achieving health lies in our own hands and provides a comprehensive set of naturopathic tools to help us restore our optimum health.
