Charlie Cropley 

When I was an intern. And in my third year of naturopathic college, I had a patient with rheumatoid arthritis. And I found myself going through this book looking for how do you cure or treat rheumatoid arthritis. And I went, people been having rheumatoid arthritis for as long as there have been human beings. And I'm still doing we haven't found a way right to heal rheumatoid arthritis. And I said Bosh, I know. I know beyond a doubt what will improve this. Through eating and through this person's power to bring healing to themselves by improving their behaviors.

Node Smith 

You know, many people many, and you know, everyone, every doctor knows that patients have tried numerous diets and have not been successful, they've tried numerous exercise programs and not been successful. And it is not because diet and exercise don't work. That is not what's happening. It's a level of skillfulness. It might be the type of diet, it might be how they're eating, it might be emotional elements surrounding eating, and the same thing with exercise or movement.

Charlie Cropley 

The foundation that we work from is that of relationship. And we begin and end during the intensive with a teaching on the patient's relationship to their illness and introduce the naturopathic perspective of illness as a message to us, right. And so, we begin to transform their relationship to their illness, and then the physical exam, we then look at their relationship to their body. And then we look at their relationship to each of the four behaviors to their eating, to their movement, to their thinking, and to their relationships with other people. And we're, teaching them that how to...that their body, their mind, they are the only ones who know, and receive the messages from their body in their minds.
