Regarding Naturopathy's Essential Science-Ejected Vitalism, 2004:

Vitalism is a profoundly science-ejected concept, though many CAM or 'natural health' cabals falsely claim that vitalism survives scientific scrutiny. I quote: "the basic belief of naturopathy is that the body has 'vital force,' the power to heal itself. The naturopathic physician searches for causes of her client's health problem and develops a plan for stimulating the body's own vital force [...] the vital force can be weakened by unhealthful diet [etc....] when the vital force has been weakened [etc. p.520...] the focus is on strengthening the vital force [p.521]." -r.c.
