8. WILL NATUROPATHY HELP WITH CHRONIC ILLNESS
AND SERIOUS ILLNESS?
People suffering from
chronic and serious
conditions do very well
with naturopathic
treatment because, by its
very nature, it is
ongoing. When a person is seriously ill and/or
has a chronic condition, it is usually the result of
a lifetime of poor habits.
