"'the effects of the violation of nature's laws on the Physical human organism include lowered vitality, abnormal composition of the blood and lymph, and accumulation of waste matter, morbid materials, and poisons' - Lindhlar [sp., Lindlahr...] at NFC we refer to our treatments as vitalistic. Vitalistic medicine refers to an approach that focus on invigorating the body's own innate healing ability. A vitalistic approach must be a whole person approach; every aspect of a person's health and being should be taken into account to make the treatment most effective";

[in "Naturopathy"]

"the guiding principle of naturopathic medicine is found in the Latin phrase 'vis medicatrix naturae' … 'let nature be the force of your medicine' [...] these principles stand as the distinguishing marks of our profession: 1) the healing power of nature -- vis medicatrix naturae. The body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent; nature heals through the response of the life force. The physician’s role is to facilitate and augment this process [...] first do no harm -- primum no nocere. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms, which are, in fact, expressions of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complementary to and synergistic with this healing process. The physician’s actions can support or antagonize the actions of vis medicatrix naturae […] homeopathic medicine is based on the principle of 'like cures like.' Clinical observation indicates that it works on a subtle, yet powerful, energetic level";

Bailey, S.A. (ND NCNM 1983), Trivieri, L. (? ?) state:

[in "Juice Alive: The Ultimate Guide Juicing Remedies"(2007)]

"the hallmarks of health [...include] an unlimited flow of life-force energy throughout the body [p.007...] juice and vital energy [...] 'vital' or 'life energy.' This concept can be found in many of our spiritual traditions, and is known by many names. In traditional Chinese medicine, it is known as qi, while in Japan it is called ki. In ayurveda [...] vital energy is referred to as prana. In Hebrew, it is known as chai, and the ancient Greeks called it pneuma. All these terms can be equated with the animating spirit that makes life possible [...] we are no more able to measure the spirit or vital energy of plants than we are of humans [...] this energy [...] such a life force exists [...] vital life energy is also a central element in a variety of nonconventional healing methods, including acupuncture, reflexology, certain types of body work, naturopathic medicine, and the emerging field of 'energy medicine.' Homeopathy also recognizes the existence of vital energy, both in humans and in primarily plant-derived homeopathic medicine [...] life-force energy [is] surrounding all living beings [...] vital energy [p.016...] Hahnemann [...] who invented homeopathic medicine [...] believed in the existence of a vital life-force energy [...] Paracelsus referred to the vital life force within all living things, including plants, as the archaeus [...] the life force [...] this energy [...] many systems of healing teach that this vital energy combines with our own life force to promote the best healing and health imaginable [p.017..] Paracelsus [...] his methods of compounding the extracts of plants [...] intended to capture the vital life-force energy that plants contain [p.028...] life-force energy [is] known as qi, and its twin aspects of yin and yang [p.061...] life energy. See vital energy. Life-force energy. See vital energy [p.255]";

[in "Alternative Medicine"]

“naturopathic medicine is based in the philosophy that disease is a natural phenomenon that is best treated with natural resources. The philosophy includes the belief that the body fights illness through its own ‘vital curative force’ and health is regarded as a balance in all aspects of being: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. At Mirasol, our naturopathic physician is our medical director”;
