The Good Land Wellness online naturopathic center reaches people around the world from my home in Israel. Biblical Naturopathy is based upon a belief in the body's innate God-bestowed natural ability to heal itself when given an appropriate internal and external healing environment. Biblical Naturopaths are not involved in the practice of medicine and do not use drugs or pharmaceuticals, nor do they perform surgery. Biblical Naturopathy is a distinct system of non-invasive healthcare and health assessment with dependence being placed upon education, counseling, and the use of God-given natural substances to help stimulate and maintain the individual's intrinsic self-healing processes. In reality, traditional naturopathy is based on Biblical principles and deals with wellness and relief from conditions that are the result of stress, whether from spiritual, mental, nutritional, environmental, or physical factors.
As a Wholistic Health Navigator, I partner with clients to help investigate and unearth the underlying cause of their condition. I engage in a system-based approach always understanding that one physiological system in the body affects others. One of the biggest ways I can help my clients is by helping them better understand what is going on in their bodies and help them navigate a new course to better health.
What is a Naturopath?
Naturopaths are trained specialists in a separate and distinct healing art, which uses noninvasive natural medicine. Professional Naturopaths have participated in a specialized course of study in subjects such as anatomy, physiology, counseling, dietary evaluations, nutrition, herbology, acupressure, homeopathy, iridology, sclerology, hydrotherapy, detoxification, and oxygen therapy. I graduated from a five year course of study at the Life Training Institute Seminary in Beaumont, TX which provides rigorous training in all of these disciplines. Naturopaths tailor the healing modality to the needs of the individual with methods that are effective for both chronic and acute problems. Naturopaths cooperate with all branches of medical science, referring individuals to other practitioners as appropriate. In practice, naturopaths perform lifestyle analysis, laboratory testing, nutritional and dietary assessments, metabolic analysis, muscle or autonomic response testing, and other evaluative procedures. They are trained to use a wide variety of natural methods, which involve the individual in the healing process. Naturopathy is based upon a belief in the body's innate God-given natural ability to heal itself when given an appropriate internal and external healing environment. Naturopaths are not involved in the practice of medicine and do not use drugs or pharmaceuticals, nor do they perform surgery. They have traditionally been referred to as "drugless practitioners." In reality, naturopathy deals with wellness and relief from conditions that are the result of stress whether from mental, spiritual, nutritional, environmental, or physical factors.
The Traditional Naturopathic Philosophy is based on the following principles:
1. Do no harm
2. That God has designed the body to be self-healing
3. Recognize the healing power of nature as designed by God
4. Recognize the supernatural healing power of God
5. The natural and supernatural work together
6. God has made provision for recovery of sickness
7. Identify the cause and source
8. Involve the total person (body, soul, spirit)
9. Support the body rather than treat symptoms
10. Health is maintained through Biblical patterns and principles
