Naturopathy – Improving Whole Person Health
Naturopathy provides a model of prevention-oriented, patient-centered primary care, as described by Ryan Bradley ND in this article, Naturopathy -- A Disruptive Innovation in Health Care (1). Naturopathy focusses on whole-person health and self-care, rather than prescription drugs (“A pill for every ill”) and surgical interventions. The Naturopathy model of medical care could disrupt the present medical model that “fuels health care costs”. A major challenge for Naturopathy is developing innovative business models that support the excellent medical model of Naturopathy.
