What is a “Nemenhah Doctor?”

Nemenhah Doctors are Naturopathic or Physiopathic doctors who have “taken orders” (by blood or through ordination) within the Nemenhah Church as practitioners and “Pehli” of an ancient Native American traditional heritage formally known as the “Sacred Sahaptan Healing Way.” The types of Nemenhah doctors fall into one of two categories:
- Naturopathic Doctor (N.D.) who has received a doctorate (Ph.D.) level degree in Traditional Naturopathic Medicine from an established school or college of Natural Medicine.
- Physiopathic Doctor (D.D.gp.) who has received a doctorate (Ph.D.) level degree in General Sahaptan Physiopathy (Nemenhah Naturopathy) from a duly certified Nemenhah Seminary of Natural Medicine and Sahaptan Ministry.
Founding Principles
Fundamental Naturopathy and Sahaptan Tradition emphasizes the following key elements as essential to any competent, ethical, and sustainable practice:
- Nature’s Healing Power: Naturopathic medicine and ancient Sahaptan tradition recognizes the sacred self-healing systems inherent in all people and that the restorative process of health is both ordered and intelligent. Naturopathic and Physiopathic physicians work to identify and remove obstacles that bar or impede healing and recovery, and to facilitate and augment this inherent self-healing process.
- Remedy the Cause: Nemenhah doctors seek to identify and remove the underlying causes of illness rather than to merely eliminate or suppress symptoms.
- First Do No Harm: Nemenhah doctors follow three guidelines to avoid harming the patient: utilize methods and medicinal substances which minimize the risk of harmful side effects, using the least force necessary to diagnose and treat; avoid when possible the harmful suppression of symptoms; and acknowledge, respect, and work with individuals’ self-healing process.
- Doctor as Teacher: Nemenhah doctors educate their patients and encourage self-responsibility for personal health. They also recognize and employ the therapeutic potential of the doctor-patient relationship.
- Treat the Whole Person: Nemenhah doctors treat each patient by addressing their individual physical, mental, emotional, spiritual, environmental, and social factors as part of a complex system of total healthcare.
- Prevention: Nemenhah doctors emphasize the prevention of disease by assessing risk factors, heredity and susceptibility to disease, and by making appropriate interventions in partnership with their patients to prevent illness.
- Duty to Society: Nemenhah doctors have made a solemn oath to continuously strive to bring remedies, modalities, and principles of sacred healing to the Individual, the Family, the Community, Society, and the Planet.
- Care of People: Nemenhah doctors adhere in all things to a strict Code of Ethical Conduct, which demands that all private conversations, as also any related health and medical information, between the doctor and his or her patient be kept under the strictest rules of confidentiality.
