				  medicines" are substances present in or produced by nature, not artificial or

				  dispense and administer certain medications of mineral, animal and botanical
				  origin which are:

				according to the following definition: -present in or produced by nature, not
				artificial or man made. (Source - American Heritage Dictionary)
2. Not substances prohibited by other Vermont

				which by its actions does not impair function or destroy human life, and is
				consistent with the naturopathic principle - "First Do No Harm."

				clinically effective for the condition that the patient is seeking health care
				for. This will require the naturopathic physician to assess if the natural
				substance, or substances being used in a particular treatment protocol are
				working for that patient within a safe and reasonable amount of time for that
				condition. This assessment needs to be made within the context of naturopathic
				medical philosophy, the conventional standard of care as defined by such groups
				as the Vermont Program for Quality, and the patient's choice as long as
				adequate information and education is provided.
