“A doctor who prescribes an identical treatment for an identical illness in two individuals and expects identical development may be classified as a social menace” (Lin Yintang.)
This quote concisely summarizes why naturopathy and osteopathy are amazing forms of medicine. Each modality focuses on the individual, encompasses body, mind, and spirit, and is concerned with the person’s story: what has led them to this state of disease, and how does it impact their lives? As a doctor, I can see 10 people with the same disease, all expressed with slightly different symptoms, and all needing unique and individualized treatments to restore balance and health. There are no shortcuts to health, and this is why medications often fail.
