Encarta Defines Vitalism {a belief!!! 2007}:

encarta.msn.com — I quote: "vitalism [...a] belief in vital principle: a doctrine that maintains that life and the functions of a living organism depend on a nonmaterial force or principle separate from physical and chemical processes." Naturopathy claims it is not a belief system and is scientific while essentially vitalistic - a FOR DECADES science-ejected idea. Dec 21, 2007 View in Crawl 4
