The Naturopathic Way: How to Detox, Find Quality Nutrition, and Restore Your Acid-Alkaline Balance Paperback - 2009 - 1st Edition

HEALTH / NUTRITION "Christopher Vasey puts naturopathic medicine back on the map in a clear, simple, and beautiful fashion. This wonderfully readable book reveals the basic secrets of the body's ingenious design, guiding us to a practical understanding of true metabolic healing and transformation. This is the foundational reference work that has long been missing." --Marc David, author of The Slow Down Diet and Nourishing Wisdom and founder and director of the Institute for the Psychology of Eating "The only word for Christopher Vasey's The Naturopathic Way is brilliant. It is the best overview of the naturopathic approach to healing that I have read." --Stephen Harrod Buhner, author of The Secret Teachings of Plants Illness does not appear by chance. It is the direct result of the way we live--what we eat and drink, if we have enough physical exercise, and our state of mind. The basic principles of naturopathy recognize this reality, and its treatments are designed to support our present state of good health or to help us get back to it. Christopher Vasey, author of the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health, explains that naturopathic treatments do not attempt to suppress symptoms but instead focus on removing the toxic causes of illness. All diseases stem from an unbalanced or dysfunctional biological terrain. This occurs when the body's internal cellular environment becomes clogged with wastes or when it lacks essential vitamins and mineral nutrients. In this naturopathic guide to health and healing, Vasey shows how to remove toxins from the body using diets, fasts, and detoxifying cleanses. He points to the key role played by the acid-alkaline balance in maintaining peak energy and explains what natural supplements to take to restore deficient nutrients in the body. Vasey believes that the greatest part of achieving health is in our own hands. His book provides a comprehensive set of naturopathic tools to help us restore our optimum health. CHRISTOPHER VASEY, N.D., is a naturopathic doctor specializing in detoxification and rejuvenation. He is the author of The Detox Mono Diet, The Water Prescription, The Whey Prescription, and the bestselling The Acid-Alkaline Diet for Optimum Health. He lives near Montreux, Switzerland.
