Dear Mr. President Elect,

I would like to see a wellness platform in your health care vision for America.

What that means basically, is that HOLISTIC primary care focused on peak family wellness is the top priority in shaping policy for research as well as services.

In that spirit, I invite you to investigate the simple and elegant ideals of Naturopathic medicine.

First, do no harm; provide the most effective health care available with the least risk to patients at all times (Primum Non Nocere).
Recognize, respect and promote the self-healing power of nature inherent in each individual human being. (Vis Medicatrix Naturae).

Identify and remove the causes of illness, rather than eliminate or suppress symptoms (Tolle Causum).

Educate, inspire rational hope and encourage self-responsibility for health (Doctor as Teacher).

Treat each person by considering all individual health factors and influences. (Treat the Whole Person).

Emphasize the condition of health to promote well-being and to prevent diseases for the individual, each community and our world (Health Promotion, the Best Prevention).

Thank you for taking the time to read and comprehend the best of the ideas that people all across this country are now sending you.

Good luck.
Warmly,

Tineke Malus
