Hey, some citations regarding the vitalism in this book: "the concept of a vital force, or energy principle, had its origins in ancient Chinese and Asian texts [...] this concept [...shared by] acupuncture; Chinese, Ayurvedic, and Tibetan medicine [p.018...] regardless of the type of bacteria, fungus, or illness, the ultimate cause, according to homeopathic thinking, is always an imbalance in your energy system (vital force) [...] much like Chinese medicine, which affirms that the chi or ki must be in balance and flowing harmoniously through the meridians of your body [p.028...] homeopathy [...] brings the vital force into equilibrium [p.029...] by bringing the vital force into balance, homeopathy automatically strengthens the immune system [p.034...] why were you bleeding abnormally in the first place? There was an imbalance in the vital force [p.039...] your vital force, or energy system [p.040...] whether or not you become actually ill depends on the strength of your vital force [p.054...] homeopathy can still help you in a number of ways: to strengthen your vital force [p.178...] defense mechanism - the aspect of the vital force that maintains health and prevents disease [p.345]." And a little bit of explicit spiritism {vitalism itself is actually 'purposeful life spirit'}: "many illness arise out of an emptiness of spirit, a profound feeling of disconnectedness, separation, and isolation from god or divine love [...] such a state of poverty of spirit precedes a serious physical illness [...] the idea that body, mind and spirit are intertwined [...] homeopathy is one of the only forms of medicine that can integrate and heal all three gently yet powerfully [p.004]." And of course, "homeopathy is a medical science [p.017 & 345]." But, in reality, it is profoundly not true that science contains or supports the vitalistic and the spiritistic. Typical ND epistemic conflation posed as an epistemic delineation.
