A good belly laugh during our current global crises could at least provide some welcome, temporary relief. However, in those circumstances warranting further investigation and additional intervention, it helps to know there’s an available health care system whose members don’t just claim to stand upon their principles, but strive to personally and professionally actualize them as an ongoing, integral component of the foundation that supports and characterizes its practice. Naturopathic Doctors have all been steeped in the vitalistic, nature- cure culture, a metaphorical baptism into the waters of vis medicatrix naturae, which has influenced our world-view, attitude, set of customs, values and medical beliefs. This immersion as students should help to shape and distinguish our modus operandi as practitioners, which seems to strike a resonant chord with ever-increasing numbers of complementa- ry health care seekers. The idea that illness arises as a creative solution to imbalance, disharmony or lopsided connections within or between organ- ism and environment is intuitively appealing and sounds entirely sensible. Symptoms are the language of the body and need to be understood in both broader biological and biographical context. When their message is acknowledged from a more holistic, source oriented perspective and the most clearly indicated steps are taken to help fulfill their purpose, healing as restoration of ‘right relationship’ should ensue. It’s always satisfying to witness someone surface through the fog of despair or medication- induced stupor and enter into the present with an enhanced awareness of their potential for change and relief. Sometimes this occurs because of a simple alteration in their day-to-day habits. The overwhelming sensa- tion of existence as a life sentence suddenly shifts to one more akin to a living statement. My love for this vocation during these transformative moments (both of them) is boundless. The parallels between the ‘nature-based’ origins of our historically much maligned profession and the emerging eco-centric ethos are note- worthy. Modern ecology continues to discover the organic interdepen- dence of progressively larger ranges of life, perhaps ultimately involving the whole planet. The ‘new science’ of epigenetics is basically a re-formu- lated, freshly packaged manifestation and explanation of a very old obser- vation. Gregory Cajete aptly describes this indigenous epistemology in his Copyrighted Material xii PRINCI P LES OF NATUR op ATHIC MEDICINE book, Native Science, Natural Laws of Interdependence: “Everything is related, that is, connected in dynamic, interactive and mutually reciprocal relationships. All things, events, and forms of energy unfold and infold t h e m s e l v e s i n a c o n t e x t u a l fi e l d o f t h e m i c r o a n d m a c r o u n i v e r s e . ” This perception was adopted as common knowledge and survival tact for indigenous cultures world-wide. Hippocrates, considered as the ‘founder’ of contemporary medicine , wrote a treatise over 2000 years ago entitled “On airs, waters and places”, which stressed the need to closely observe the place where one lives in order to accurately grasp its influence in well-being. He rightly defined ‘The quality of the wind, water, soil and climate’ as well as one’s diet to be significant contributors to sickness and suffering as well as in the restoration of health. These concepts precluded the fields of public health and bioclimatology. The more we examine the origins , core and content of Naturopathic Medicine, as well as its con- text in the history of healing, the greater the grasp of how effectively this profession’s progenitors not only protected and preserved but reinforced, continually strengthened, expanded, re-defined and sustained an ancient, time-honoured world-view and medical discipline.

    CHARM 2013 Proceedings Traders in Nature: Marketing Natural Medicine in 20th-century Britain 265 Jure Stojan Independent Scholar Abstract Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present a history of marketing strategies in 20th-century British natural therapeutics, and to discuss conceptual issues in the marketing historiography of alternative medicine. Design/methodology/approach – Qualitative analysis of archival material and printed primary sources. Findings – Two marketing strategies prevailed in the early twentieth century. The first one targeted price-sensitive consumers by offering low-price, low-quality substitutes for conventional medical care. This strategy became unviable with the introduction of the National Health Service (NHS), which made conventional medicine free at the point of delivery. The second type of marketing strategy targeted consumers who had the means to use medical doctors but chose not to. Therefore, it proved resilient to the ‘NHS effect’. By the end of the century, complementary medicine served health-related consumer needs but went beyond the simple ‘mending the mind or body,’ or ‘removing disease.’ Research limitation/implications – The paper offers a marketing-based conceptualization of alternative medicine and provides a new interpretation of its historical development. Keywords – marketing history, complementary and alternative medicine, herbalists, naturopaths, Great Britain, 20th century Paper Type – Research paper Introduction Alternative medicine is the main provider of natural therapeutics (Wahlberg, 2007). For some consumers, conventional medicine is no longer natural enough. They mistrust synthetic drugs, artificial joints, laser treatments and other fruits of scientific research. This article analyses the marketing strategy of twentieth-century British traders in nature – those complementary and alternative medical practitioners who marketed natural treatment.

    PATENT MEDICINE: Cures & Quacks by Peggy M

    PATENT MEDICINE: Cures & Quacks by Peggy M. Baker, Director & Librarian, Pilgrim Society & Pilgrim Hall Museum In Sickness & In Health: Medicine in the Old Colony 19th century America witnessed many rambunctious manifestations of the entrepreneurial spirit. One of the most flamboyant was the "patent medicine" industry. Patent medicines are NOT medicines that have been patented. They are instead proprietary (i.e., "secret formula") and unproved remedies advertised and sold directly to the public. The growth of the patent medicine industry was rooted in the medical shortcomings of the early 19th century. There were few doctors and those expensive. Prospects were not cheerful even for those who could afford professional medical care. Knowledge of human physiology and of the causes and progress of disease was extremely limited (it was not until 1861 that the theory of germs was first published by Louis Pasteur). Routine health care in the 19th century was generally provided by the mother of the family, relying on home remedies, recipes for which could often be found in cookbooks. Even the most skillful mother realized, however, that she could not combat the terrible diseases that became endemic during the course of the 19th century - typhoid, typhus, yellow fever, cholera. The fear that these diseases rightfully engendered led directly to the success of the patent medicine industry. Where before, housewives and grandmothers had supplied their friends and relations with homemade remedies, now the spirit of profit took hold. Entrepreneurs with business savvy began to bottle and sell "old family recipes." And, if the recipe were a commercial success, bottling factories would appear, then networks of traveling salesmen, and then distribution systems for wholesaling the product.

  • Complementary and Alternative Medicines

    Complementary and Alternative Medicines

    Complementary and Alternative Medicines Complementary and alternative medicine was among the issues raised by many participants during the Conversation on Health. Health professionals, education and awareness, complementary and alternative practitioners, administration and Medical Services Plan coverage were highlighted in many discussions and submissions. Here is a selection of what British Columbians had to say on the subject of complementary and alternative medicine. Health Professionals In general, participants feel that health professionals do not accept alternative medicine or support patients’ right to chose. They believe that doctors do not have adequate knowledge and training of alternative therapies or enough incentive to recommend them. They also think that doctors have a duty to increase their own understanding of these therapies. Without it, they argue, patients will not receive the collaborative expertise of all health professionals providing the best possible care. Suggestions focus on cooperation between doctors and alternative practitioners as the key to receiving high quality treatment. Doctors should have to learn about alternative therapies and different cultures and practices, including First Nations traditional healing, and blend this knowledge into their own practices.
