Naturopathic medicine follows these seven principles:
1. Do no harm: use safe, effective, natural therapies.
2. Nature has healing powers: the physician's job is to enhance the body's natural power to
heal itself.
3. Identify and treat the cause: find the cause, rather than just suppress the symptoms.
4. Treat the whole person: administer to the patient's physical, mental/emotional, spiritual,
and social sides.
5. The physician is a teacher: educate and motivate patients to take more responsibility for
their health.
6. Prevention is the best cure: health-supporting life habits prevent disease.
7. Establish health and wellness: increase the patient's positive physical and mental state.

Is there really a safer, more effective natural
alternative to most prescription and over-the-counter medicines? Yes. In Natural Alternatives to Over-the-Counter and Prescription Drugs, his groundbreaking
book, naturopathic physician Michael Murray provides specific natural alternatives to
some of the drugs most used by Americans, including Tagamet, Prednisone, Seldane, and
Zantac. Examining the side effects and effectiveness of many of the drugs used today,
Murray shows how these drugs can be replaced with less expensive natural remedies whose
medicinal benefits have been proven in clinical studies. He discusses how herbs, vitamins,
minerals, extracts, and ointments can be used to bring relief from a wide array of
specific ailments, including:
* Diabetes
* Asthma, hay fever, and the common cold
* High blood pressure and high cholesterol
* Arthritis
* Heartburn and headache
* Insomnia
With easy-to-understand charts, graphs, and tables throughout, Natural Alternatives to
Over-the-Counter and Prescription Drugs offers detailed, practical information that will
