Lilie, A. (NMD SCNM), Terlisner, A. (NMD Bastyr) state:

.

[in "Naturopathic Medicine: Aletris Center, Scottsdale, AZ"]

.

"the practice of naturopathy emerges from six underlying principles of healing. These principles [...include, #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";

LoBisco, S. (ND UBCNM) states:

.

[in "Six Guiding Principles"]

.

"guiding principle #1, the healing power of nature - viz 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 [...] guiding principle #3, first do no harm - viz primum no nocere. Illiness [sp.] is a purposeful process of the organism. The process of healing includes the generation of symptoms which are, in fact, an expression of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complimentary to and synergistic with this healing process. The physician’s actions can support or antagonize the actions of he viz medicatrix naturae";

Lomeli, L. (ND Bastyr) states:

.

[in "Acupuncture Clinic"]

.

"the ancient art of acupuncture dates back 2000 years to provincial China. By stimulating energy centers in the body called meridians, the life force known as qi is directed into a more balanced flow. When an imbalance or blockage occurs in the body, illness results. By tapping into the natural energy network it is possible to relieve pain, facilitate healing and utilize the body’s inherent healing mechanisms";

Lourie, C. (ND NCNM) states:

.

[in "Homeopathy"]

.

"to include both the knowable and the unknowable in our understanding, we speak of the 'vital force', the dynamic energy of the organism that animates everything we call life. It is this vital force which is being stimulated by our homeopathic remedies. Symptoms are a sign of the vital force working to heal. This is a fundamental concept that must be understood by all patients and practitioners of natural therapies. The task of the practitioner is to gather as much information as possible about the totality of symptoms, physical and mental, in order to understand all the ways in which the vital force is already acting";

Lum, K. (ND NCNM) states:

.

[in "We Treat The Following Conditions"]

.

"the philosophical premise of naturopathic medicine is that all true healing occurs as a result of the bodies own inherent healing forces [...] acupuncture [...] works through the flow of qi (vital force/energy) in the meridians (pathways that cover the body) [...] homeopathy [...] works on the emotional body, much like peeling the layers of an onion, allowing the innate vital force of the body to correct and imbalances";
