Bachelor of Biblical Natural Health
Required Master’s Degree:
Naturopathic Biblical
Health Psychology
Principles
The underpinnings of naturopathic medical
practice are found in the following six principles.
The Healing Power of Nature (Vis Medicatrix Naturae)
Naturopathic medicine recognizes the body's
inherent ability to heal itself. Naturopathic physicians identify and remove
obstacles to recovery to facilitate this healing ability in patients.
Identify and Treat the Causes (Tolle Causam)
The naturopathic physician seeks to
identify and remove the underlying causes of illness, rather than eliminate or
merely suppress symptoms.
First Do No Harm (Primum Non Nocere)
Naturopathic medicine follows three
principles to avoid harming the patient:
1. Use methods and medicinal substances which
minimize the risk of harmful side effects;
2. Avoid, when possible, the harmful
suppression of symptoms;
3. Acknowledge and respect the individual's
healing process, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat illness.
Doctor as Teacher (Docere)
Naturopathic physicians educate the patient
and encourage self-responsibility for health. They also acknowledge the
therapeutic value inherent in the doctor-patient relationship.
Treat the Whole Person
Naturopathic physicians treat each
individual by taking into account physical, mental, emotional, genetic,
environmental and social factors. Since total health also includes spiritual
health, naturopathic physicians encourage individuals to pursue their personal
spiritual path.
Prevention
Naturopathic physicians emphasize disease
prevention, assessment of risk factors and hereditary susceptibility to disease
and making appropriate interventions to prevent illness. Naturopathic medicine
strives to create a healthy world in which humanity may thrive.
Wellness
Wellness follows the establishment and
maintenance of optimum health and balance. Wellness is a state of being healthy,
characterized by positive emotion, thought and action. Wellness is inherent in
everyone, regardless of disease(s). If wellness is recognized and experienced
by an individual, it will more quickly heal a given disease than direct
treatment of the disease alone.
(The wellness principle was adopted by
Bastyr University and added to the six principles.)
Dayspring Christian University, has
always been a “pioneer.” in many areas of studies. Because of multiple requests
we are adding an offering of all levels of degrees that have to do with
“Naturopathic Psychology.” These degrees will be useful for those interested in
a Biblical approach to psychology and for others who hold related degrees in
the field of Human Behavior. For the most part, it’s an integrative degree and
will benefit one who desires to help friends, family, clients, or patients to
gain the “extra-edge” in improving their health with a Biblical approach that
psychology alone cannot give.

At
Quantum University, individual degree programs can be combined
into degree program tracks, also known as “Fast Track” or “Professional Track.”
These programs can include the Bachelor, Master, Doctorate, and PhD degree
programs in Natural and Integrative Medicine.

three degrees simultaneously.

Quantum
University students are often busy professionals who have
a clear vision of their career goals. We have designed degree program tracks to
save our students both time and money.
These
degree program tracks expedite the completion of your
degrees since you are enrolling for all the degrees simultaneously. When your
registration form is processed, you are given access to all your degree
programs and courses. Your Faculty Mentor will guide you through the
recommended order to complete these courses. This way, you can earn degrees and
achieve your professional goals quickly by eliminating re-enrollment after the
completion of each individual degree.
This
is also an additional way to reduce your tuition costs when
enrolling at Quantum University. Combining degree programs allows students to
combine the tuition cost of all degree programs into one tuition payment plan
that qualifies for additional tuition awards. Enrolling separately in each
program limits the level of tuition awards offered to you by the Admissions
department.
The
Humanitarian Program allows students to give back hours of
humanitarian service in exchange for higher tuition Awards. The World
Organization of Natural Medicine only allows board certified DNMs and IMDs to
participate or open a Clinic for Humanity. Enrolling in a fast or professional
degree program track qualifies students to take advantage of the highest
tuition Award savings possible.
Quantum
University also offers Bachelor of Completion and
Doctorate of Completion degrees to students who have higher education degrees
that are not health related. These completion degrees automatically award
credit for a predetermined set of equivalent courses from your chosen degree
programs. Completion degrees can reduce the cost of tuition. For a
student to be eligible, he or she must provide all their transcripts and
diplomas to the admission department.
Bachelor
of Biblical Natural Health
Naturopathic medicine is a distinct
system of primary health care that concentrates on whole-patient wellness while
emphasizing prevention and the process of self-healing through the use of
natural therapies. Naturopathic medicine attempts to find the underlying cause
of the patient’s condition rather than focusing solely on symptomatic
treatment.
Naturopathic physicians are
clinically trained primary care physicians who have graduated from a four-year
naturopathic medical school. They work with patients in all aspects of family
health to identify the underlying causes of disease and provide evidence
informed therapies to help facilitate the body’s ability to restore and
maintain optimal health.
This degree is for anyone who is eager
to learn more about the natural health field. It is a complete study that
covers subjects such as anatomy, physiology, iridology, nutrition, herbal
healing, theories of naturopathy and homeopathy, and more.
IMPORTANT
NOTE: IN STATES, PROVINCES, OR COUNTRIES WHERE THE N.D. DEGREE
IS PROHIBITED FOR NATURAL HEALTH PRACTICE WITHOUT A LICENSE, THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR
OF TRADITIONAL NATUROPATHY
(D.T.N.) MAY BE GRANTED TO A GRADUATE UPON REQUEST.
