The Vegan Lifestyle

There are good reasons why I want to be a naturopathic doctor. Since childhood I have seen the plight of the poor who have died in their diseases because of the lack of proper medical attention. I have seen their afflictions, sufferings and miseries. They cannot buy expensive medicines from drugstores; they cannot afford to pay conventional medical treatment.

I want to be a naturopathic doctor so that I can help treat the poor people from their diseases. I have been looking for an alternative medicine school where to get a formal education. I believe that the herbs and other natural treatments used in alternative medicine are much better than the synthetic medicines, radiation and chemotherapy used in conventional medicine.

Naturopathic medicine is the best alternative in treating all forms of diseases. It is the oldest form of medication used by the ancients to treat all diseases effectively through the use of physical manipulation, herbal medicine, clinical nutrition, homeopathy, hydrotherapy, acupuncture, counselling, and other natural treatment.  Besides being cheaper, it is also natural and safer compared to the conventional medicine.

In a naturopathic college, a would-be doctor is trained how to treat diseases without the use of synthetic medicines that are harmful to the body. Students learn the first of the six principles in naturopathic philosophy - first do no harm, by using only herbal medicine and natural treatment to cure diseases. In naturopathic medicine, students are taught the healing power of nature and the inherent power of the human body to restore itself to health. Diseases are studied at the cellular level and how the mind affects it in order to effectively treat the cause of disease and not the symptoms only.

I want to be a naturopathic doctor in order to save lives. Unlike most conventional medical doctors, a naturopathic doctor treats the whole person by providing flexible health programs. The naturopathic physician is a teacher to his patients, teaching them healthy lifestyle, and instilling in their minds that prevention is the best cure.
