art and science of Naturopathic medicine.

of Naturopathic medicine.

colleagues and students.
Through

which follow the principles of Naturopathic medicine:
First

To
act in cooperation with the Healing Power of Nature.
To
address the fundamental causes of disease.
To
heal the whole person through individualized treatment.
To
teach the principles of healthy living and preventive medicine.
I

whatever I am priviledged to witness, whether professionally or
privately, that should not be divulged.
With
my whole heart, before this gathering of witnesses, as a Doctor of
Naturopathic Medicine, I pledge to remain true to this oath.
