1. Remember the Healing Power of Nature
The body has considerable power to heal itself. It is the role of the physician or healer to facilitate and enhance this process, preferably with the aid of natural, nontoxic therapies. Above all, the physician or healer must do no harm.

2. View the Whole Person
An individual must be viewed as a whole composed of a complex interaction of mind, body and spirit.

3. Identify and Treat the Cause
It is important to seek the underlying cause of a disease rather than simply suppress the symptoms. Symptoms are expressions of the body's attempt to heal, but causes can spring from physical, mental or emotional, and spiritual levels.

4. The Physician is a Teacher
A Physician should be foremost a teacher, educating, empowering, and motivating the patient to assume more personal responsibility for his or her health by adopting a healthy attitude, lifestyle, and diet.

5. Prevention is the Best Cure
Prevention of disease is best accomplished through dietary and life habits that support health and prevent disease.

"The doctor of the future will give no medicine, but will interest his patient in the care of the human frame, in diet and the cause and prevention of disease." -Thomas Edison
