"homeopathy highlight: cure your anxiety and more [...] 'the benefit of this method,' says Mercer [...] a naturopathic physician and homeopathy clinical faculty member at Bastyr Center for Natural Health [...] 'is that after you get the right remedy, you will most likely feel an increase in energy, an improved sense of well-being, and the amelioration of other chronic or recurrent symptoms.' These changes can start happening within 2-4 weeks, she says. What makes this possible? Mercer explains that the homeopathic remedy stimulates a person’s vital force. 'The way I think about it is that the bodily system organizes itself the best way it knows how, given life circumstances. Since the current ‘organization’ isn’t working for them, the medicine disrupts that very temporarily and allows the body to find a new balance'";

[in “In Memory of Dr. Mitchell”{ 2007}][per Bastyr graduates]

“[per Kalfas, K. (ND Bastyr 2005)] Dr. Mitchell lit up a room with his excitement about the energy of plants. I remember once seeing him speak at the AANP conference in Utah, and he is passing out tinctures to a room of hundreds of people, excited about which ones had what constituents, and what that means for the communication and creative energy of the universe [...] he really was the true nature doctor. His light has touched many people, his energy has changed all of our beings for the better [...quoting Michell, I assume] 'the vis is always there, internal, inherent...it may need building blocks to heal itself...naturopathy uses logic as a tool to look at the vital force' [...] Bill compared the meeting of two spiritual beings ( in this case doctor and patient as above) to the Bohr model: that one electron cloud is meeting up with another, which releases a quanta of energy. This quanta is the controlled release of spiritual learning we have when we interact with another [...] thank you Dr. Mitchell for altering my consciousness with your well chosen words, your excitement about life, your awareness, and your dedication to the vis medicatrix naturae [...quoting Mitchell] 'you are the cells of the immune system of Gaia' [...per Kaufmann, J. (ND ?, LAc ?] listening to Bill speak on 'Aspects of the Vital Force' at the 1997 convention in Arizona [etc....per Hangee-Bauer, C. (ND ?, LAc ?] to my eyes, Bill blended the best of 'scientific' naturopathic medicine with the vis medicatrix naturae. I've never met someone who was as comfortable talking about convoluted biochemical pathways as well as Gaia and the interactions of people with plants and the earth [...] his legacy will live on in others as one of the fathers of modern naturopathic medicine“;

"'Using the (Life) Force.' Elizabeth Marazita on qigong for pain Energy Times [...which therein states {click here}, dated 2006-10] qi is said to be the vital energy that travels through the body from head to toe via invisible pathways called meridians, much like blood circulates through arteries. Blocked or stagnant qi -- resulting from stress, illness or injury -- causes more blockage. It also can prompt joint and vital organ pain, leading to further inflammation and impairment. 'Like a river that accumulates too much silt at its bends, the qi doesn’t flow as smoothly or efficiently,' says Elizabeth Marazita, LAc, licensed acupuncturist and professor of qigong at Bastyr University in Kenmore, Washington and the University of Washington School of Nursing, in Seattle. 'Qigong opens the flow of qi, and increases the circulation of blood and oxygen throughout the body.' (The meridian system is the one that dictates where acupuncture needles are placed, again with the idea of manipulating qi)";

"a marma is a vital energy point located on the surface of the body that can be used for both assessment and management. Marma points are infused with prana, the life force and imbued with consciousness, which can be thought of as most lively in expressing itself at these points. Marmani serve as a bridge between the body, mind and spirit. They are integral to promoting health, well-being and balance";

[in "Improving Digestion With Traditional Chinese Medicine"{Seattle Post Intelligencer, 2008-10-26; per Kaiser, C. (MS ?, LAc ?} -- resident, Bastyr Center for Natural Health]

"the proper amount and flow of qi, or life energy, constitute[s] the foundation of health, according to TCM. Digestive complaints are signs of imbalance, commonly due to either insufficient qi or a compromised flow of qi. Poor diet or working too much can lead to too little qi, while stress is a common cause of improperly flowing qi. Acupuncture is a technique used in TCM that utilizes hair-thin needles inserted at precise locations to manipulate the body's qi and remove blockages, allowing it to flow more freely. Clinically, acupuncture successfully alleviates many digestive complaints by increasing your body's digestive energy";
