  • Matrix Wellness 737 29th Street Boulder, CO, 80303 United States (map)

July 19th 2022 6:30 pm at Matrix Wellness

Join us as Dr. Andersen and Dr. Marisa discuss Vitalistic Naturopathy and Philosophy and how these principles apply to health and healing.

There will be time for discussion afterward. Snacks will be provided.

Our July Tuesday Talk we will be reviewing the history of Medicine, specifically as it relates to the roots of Naturopathy, the philosophy of Natural Law & its principle tenet, Vitalism. The aim of our Talk is to elucidate & suss out the origins & ongoing debate between the dichotomy in medicinal ideology. We will be exploring both the principle of Vitalism & its conviction based on Natural Law that an individual’s symptoms represent the body’s own intuitive effort to restore balance, as well as the doctrine of Mechanism which views a patient’s symptoms as a part of the disease process, and as such aims to suppress the symptoms as a means to interrupt the progression of the pathology.
