Naturopathy is the belief that the body can cure itself without using medication. Although it might be true in many cases, and with the right care, the body can get over an illness on its own, it is no substitute against a serious illness, like cancer, pneumonia or any other life threatening diseases. If this is the case, it is recommended to use the modern medicine. Bob Marley is an example for something that could have ended differently had he been treated with modern medicine.
