[in "Basic Naturopathy from Peter Swanz, ND"]

"the philosophy of naturopathic medicine provides the distinction between this traditional form of healing and the newer conventional ideals. There are six underlying premises on which the philosophy is based: first do no harm - primum non nocere. Support the healing power of nature, 'the vital force' - vis medicatrix naturae";

iv.[coded vitalism]

[in "The Vis"(2008-03-10)]

"what is the 'vis medicatrix naturae?' The term is commonly translated as 'the healing power of nature' [...a] physically elusive concept [...] the 'vis' is not a thing that is directly perceivable [...] we do not yet have a means to measure the effects of the 'vis' and hence confirm its existence [...] I believe the 'vis' is as intricately crucial to healing as gravity is to falling [...] the 'vis' is not yet recognized and accepted as a crucial component of the healing process [...] we do not have to believe in the 'vis' to experience its effects. The 'vis' is not magical or mystical, it is a term used to describe the healing process of the body [...] Chinese medicine, Western herbs, homeopathy, naturopathy, physical manipulation, etc. can all be used effectively to bolster the healing of the body. I would even argue that western pharmaceuticals can support the 'vis' when applied synergistically to the healing process [...] the healing that is possible through the support of the 'vis' is the ideal of healing. I feel fortunate to witness, practice, and support this ideal daily [...] as more and more individuals experience true healing our collective acceptance of the influence of the 'vis' will become universal and our actions will be more congruent with a lifestyle that is beneficial to our own health and the health of the planet. That truly is the healing power of nature";

Swetlikoff, L. (ND Bastyr 1994) states:

[in "Electrodermal Testing - Vega Testing"]

"the vega machine is a tool used in bio-energetic-medicine. Its basis is the concept that the first sign of abnormality in the body is a an energetic or electrical charge change in a cells or organ tissues. If these abnormal electrical charges are permitted to continue, a structural changes will occur creating a condition for disease and degeneration to occur. Western medicine is the only medical system that: does not have a vitalistic approach to illness, has no concept of biological energy. All other forms of medicine practiced, have some concept of vital force or energy of some description";
