PThe Sectorial Organisation is formed by those Entities that have affinity in his aims, and whose professionals are inscribed in the corresponding territorial Entity where exerts his professional work. PThe Organisation of Scientific Societies is composed by the Entities devoted to the investigation and scientific divulging-sanitary, being his affiliated inscribed in the Territorial Entity where develops his professional work.

þFENACO Is constituted by the Professional Entities of Naturopaths present in the Autonomous Communities. This type of organisation allows that the/the professional can inscribe in the Territorial Entity where is exerting his activity.

PREMISES

1º REGULACION OF THE PROFESION And NO OF THE TOOLS

2º THE PROFESION DESIGNATES INTERNATIONALLY NATUROPATHY And THE TOOLS

ARE THE DESIGNATED METODOS NATURAL And PROCEDIMIENTOS OF HEALTH

(Illegally designated natural therapies – Royal decree 1907/1996, of 2 August, on advertising and

commercial promotion of products, activities or services with pretended sanitary purpose. Article 4.

Prohibitions and limitations of the advertising with pretended sanitary purpose. Except the established

in the article 3.1 of this Royal decree, remains forbidden any class of advertising or direct or

indirect promotion, massive or individualizada, of products, material, substances, energies or

methods with pretended sanitary purpose in the following cases: (13) That use the natural term

like characteristic linked to pretended preventive or therapeutic effects. ).

3º Recognition of a professional sector with proper name as it is the one of NATUROPATHY, that is

to say regulate what already come doing from 1922.

CONSIDERANDOS

To) we Consider that METODOS NATURAL and PROCEDIEMIENTOS OF HEALTH are

tools that use in the professional practice of the Naturopathy, since it founded the Naturopathy to finals

of the 19th century, and that practise and use in our praxis professional; to the equal that also there are

other professions that also use it like tools.

B) The finish natural therapy is a generic concept that gives place, and has given place, to a

confrontación historical with the supposed “terapeutas artificial”, conflict that situates more in the

political and sociological plane that the plane of professional regulation. The question is simple and

easy, if it pretends regulate the supposed natural therapies is that they exist other that they are artificial

( and therefore of doubtful effectiveness), and that know in the juridical legislation Spanish neither

international exists a profession that was the natural of another: it does not exist the natural jurists

(lawyers, magistrates, procuradores...) They do not exist the natural constructors (architects, engineers,

experts, ) do not exist the natural drivers (taxi drivers, gruistas, truck drivers...). Or that the

professional practice was the natural of another, considered purportedly artificial.


21

In the sanitary plane the Therapy defines andn the Dictionary of the Spanish language, the

finish Therapeutic defines "Part of the Medicine that teachs the precepts and remedies to cure". And in

the terminological Dictionary of medical sciences (ed. Salvat, Barcelona 1981), defines the finish

therapeutic of the following way: "Part of the medicine that occupies of the treatment of the illnesses,

science or art to cure or relieve, that comprises the study of the own means for this end”. And in terms

wider: Treatment of the illnesses.

Element that goes in in the training of voices with the meaning of curing. Treatment.

All this appearance taxonómico and of nomenclature, already have it cleared and systematised

in the profession of Naturopathy, by what consider that reopen a conflict with other professional

communities is useless and unnecessary.

D) And want to avoid the error, intentional or no, of the introduction of the “concept naturista,

as it has done the Decree of the natural therapies of Catalonia, what supposes an ambiguity to define

the competitions of a profession, since the naturismo is a philosophy of life heritage of the

mankind. Since by this same logical, also could apply the criterion naturista in any profession, and

does not exist any profession whose difference with another was the application of a criterion, in this

case “the criterion naturista”, that is to say does not exist the Infirmary with criterion naturista, the

Physiotherapy with criterion naturista, the Podiatry with criterion naturista, Technician in Pharmacy

with criterion naturista, or a Politics applied with criterion naturista....Etc... And following this logic

of the criterion, could create professional qualifications with socialist criterion, criterion

environmentalist, criterion higienista, communist criterion, Buddhist criterion..... On the other hand the

philosophies, ideologies, religions and social movements give in a level of the society and the

professions give in another social level, are two levels of different social understanding, for example is

not the same a Sociologist that a socialist, neither an Ecólogo and an environmentalist, neither a

politician and a politólogo or graduate in Political Sciences, neither a naturista and Naturopath; and

this wants to say that no all the sociologists are socialist, neither all the ecólogos environmentalists

neither all the politicians politólogos, neither all the Naturopaths are naturistas; neither neither it is a

condition sine qua non for the exercise of the profession be participate or receive communion with the

ideology, philosophy, religion or social movement (socialism, ecologismo, politician, naturismo).


22

Therefore the naturismo when being a philosophy of life, serious ideal that applied in all the

fields of the society, and for this recommend to visit the web

http://www.naturismo.org/docs/205naturist.html

DEVELOPMENT OF THE AIMS.

1. BRIEF INTRODUCCION

1.1 Etymology

Etymologically the term Naturopathy is an Anglo-Saxon neologism entered in our language,

which this formed by two terms: Nature that means Nature and Path that means footpath. But the

finish English Path derives of the sánscrito Patha the one who to his time derives of Pathya that means

"the appropriate for the own way", that is to say, the specific group of the hygienic rules-dietary and

the activities that do that the doshas wandering go back to his respective corporal ways adapted and

the individual to his senda vital suitable.

The finish NATUROPATHY was coined to finals of the 19th century by Benedict Lust, to

define the Natural Method Applied in the Field of the Health, the one who instituyo the first

educational centre where gave the first professional educations of Naturopathy with his respective

diploma: "The American School of Naturopathy", that opened his doors in New York in 1902.

1.2 Definition

The Naturopathy is the discipline that systematises the scientific knowledges, technological and

praxiológicos on the health in his Natural dimension. Proporciona An essential assistance, based in

methods and simple and natural technology, scientifically founded, socially acceptable and

ecologically sustainable.

2. MARCO JURIDICO OF THE EXERCISE OF THE NATUROPATHY IN SPAIN


The Naturopathy Spanish goes consolidating professionally from the years 80, with the

promulgation of the Law 19/1977, of 1 April, on regulation of the right of sindical association and the

Royal decree 873/1977, of 22 April, on tank of the statutes of the organisations constituted to the

protect of the Law 19/1977, regulatory of the right of sindical association, to which receives FENACO

for his constitution in 1984. Previously in 1981, it edits the White Book of the Naturopathy by part of

the Grouping of Naturopaths of the Spanish Federation of Diplomados No State (FEDINE), where

collect the principles, foundations, studies and organisation of the profession of Naturopathy in Spain.

In the Law 30/1985, of 2 August, of the Tax On the Value Added, the Regulation on

professional and economic activities, Art. 13.1.3º, page 251 collects that they are not exentos of the

Tax on the Value Added, the services "loaned by Naturopaths... That they do not possess a sanitary

degree, in the exercise of these activities parasanitarias" (Query no vinculante of 19-1-1987 File

418/86). They will be subjects to the Tax on the Value Added and no exentos of the same the services

that to continuation relate when they do not loan by sanitary professionals that act in the exercise of

clear-cut professions like sanitary by the juridical legislation Spanish: "...Naturopathy..." (Query no

vinculante of 11-4-1988 File 186/88).

In 1990, in Legislative Royal decree 1175/1990, of 28 September, by which approve the prices

and the instruction of the Tax on Economic Activities, the Naturopathy places inside the activities

parasanitarias with the epígrafes 841, for autonomous professionals, and the 944 for the Services of

Naturopathy. And by Resolution of the General Direction of Ordenación Juridical and Entities

Collaborators of the Social Security with date of 17 September was included, the profession of

Naturopath in the Special Diet of the Workers by Own or Autonomous Account. (RETA).

In the Administrative Guide of the Ministry of Health and Consumption, Technical General

Secretary, General Sub-directorate of Resources and Attention to the Citizen, in the Directory of

Corporations and Sanitary Professional Associations, of June of 1995, collects the Professional Entity

FENACO like representative of the professionals Naturopaths.

With date 27 January 1997 did operative in the computer system of the Network of Offices of

Employment of the National Institute of Employment the new National Classification of Occupations,

where remains collected the occupation of “Technician in Naturopathy” appearing the same with the

following definite code: 3129.005.0.


25

In February of 2001, includes in the CNAE 93 the classification of Naturopathy inside the

group 85.1 sanitary Activities and in the class 85.14 Other sanitary activities, according to the

definition of Naturopathy that says: “The Naturopathy consists in the assistance to people by means of

Natural Methods of Health, using technical of alimentary type, of crash or massage without use of

devices”. Regarding the practice inside the professional practice of the Naturopath review sentences it

Number 36/02 of the Court of Instruction Number 5 of Córdoba on application of the massage by

people no capacitadas.

In the Collective Agreement Marbella Club Hotel, S.A. 1.6.2001 – 31.5.2004 (Sindical Section

CCOO) collects the category of Naturopath.

And at present the classification of the INE places the Naturopathy of the following form:

1º. The activity described like "NATUROPATHY" finds classified in the code 85.141 SANITARY

ACTIVITIES OF INDEPENDENT PROFESSIONALS (EXCEPT MEDICOS) of the National

Classification of Economic Activities.

2º The occupation described like "NATUROPATA" finds classified in the code 3129 OTHER

DIVERSE TECNICOS IN HEALTH, INCLUDED THE ONES OF TRADITIONAL MEDICINE of

the National Classification of Occupations

3º The services described like "SERVICES OF NATUROPATHY" find classified in the code

85.14.13 PROPORTIONATE SERVICES BY FISIOTERAPEUTAS And OTHER

PROFESSIONALS PARAMEDICOS (INCLUDED THE SERVICES OF HOMEOPATIA And

SIMILAR) of the Classification of Products by Activities.

2.2 legal Situation of the training naturopathic

To level of education, the training in Naturopathy has gone receiving to the following

legislations:

In the articulate 26.6 of the Spanish Constitution recognises "to the physical and juridical

people the freedom of creation of educational centres, inside the with regard to the constitutional

principles".

To the Decree 707/1976 of 5 March, on Ordenación of the Professional Training, that in his

Capitulate VII, art. 35.1 it specifies "The educations of professional character whose development do

not drive to the obtaining of a title with academic validity will be able to be freely, with the only

requirement to communicate it to the Ministry of Education and Science. When to trial of this

Ministry, the denomination of the educations could induce to error in relation with his possible


26

academic effects, will be able to force to the change of denomination and to the precisions that are

timely...".

And to the Ministerial order of 5/2/79 that wide said articulate in the terms of transact them to

be followed to communicate the opening of the Centre to give the educations no conducentes to a

degree with academic validity; specifying clearly in his art. 4.4 that the copies certified, document or

diploma with which accredit to the students the realisation of the educations cursadas, will owe on

purpose that such educations lack validity.

The publication of the Organic Law of the Right to the Education LODE 8/1985, of 3 of Julio,

the status of the Private Centres remains established as it contemplates in the III, art. 21, 22, 23, 24, 25

and 26.

The Law of Ordenación General of the Educational System LOGSE of 1990, in his Disposal

Sixth.

The articles... And 24 of the organic Law 8/1985, of 3 of Julio regulatory of the Right to the

Education remain modified in the following terms: . 24.1 "The Private Centres that give educations

that do not drive to the obtaining of a title with validity remain subjected to the norms of the common

The Royal decree 1004/1991 of 14 June, by which establish the minimum requirements of the

Centres that educations of general diet no university; in his Title 1 ,articulate 3 specifies : "As the had

in the articulate 24.1 of the Law 8/1985 of 3 of Julio, of the Right to the Education, modified by the

Additional Disposal Sixth of the Organic Law 1/1990, of 3 October, of Ordenación General of the

Educational System, the private centres that give educations that do not drive to obtaining of a title

with academic validity remained received to the norms of the common right. These Centres will not be

able to use any of the denominations established for the educational centres, neither any one another

that could induce to error or confusion with those".

Toctualmente, the educations of Naturopathy are received to the ORGANIC LAW 2/2006, of

3 May, of Education. (It PRAISE), I capitulate X, articulate 66. 4. “The people adults can realise his

learnings so much by means of activities of education, ruled or no ruled, as through the experience,

labour or in social activities, by what will tend to establish connections between both roads and will

adopt measured for the validation of the like this purchased learnings.” And in the article 67. “ .....

They will be able to incorporate to the education of people adults those who fulfil eighteen years in the

3.- PROPOSED OF REGULACION

3.1 Proposal INCUAL. (Professional training)

Ours first proposal has like destination the INCUAL (Institute of professional Qualifications.

The levels that propose are the following:

LEVEL 1: Competition in a group reduced of simple activities, inside processes normalised.

Knowledges and capacities limited.

LEVEL 2: Competition in determinate activities that they can execute with autonomy. Capacity to use

instruments and own technicians.

Knowledges of technical foundations and scientists of the activity of the process.

LEVEL 3: Competition in activities that require command of technicians and execute with autonomy.

Responsibility of supervision of technical and skilled work.

Understanding of the technical foundations and scientists of the activities and of the process.

LEVEL 4: Competition in a wide group of complex activities.

Diversity of contexts with scientific technical variables, economic or organisational.

Responsibility of supervision of work and allocation of resources.

Capacity of innovation to schedule actions, develop projects, processes, products or services.

LEVEL 5: Competition in a wide group of activities very complex executed with big autonomy.

Diversity of contexts that result, often, impredecibles.

Planning of actions and design of products, processes or services.

Responsibility in direction and management.

Create these levels would allow, on the one hand that the at present existent centres of training

no ruled could give the 5 types of levels, opening a fan of formative possibilities to which each centre

could receive , favouring the training of quality and the creation of formative centres that will offer

training of the distinct levels (certifications, postgrado, master, experts, specialists, assistants,

assistants, technicians...). And on the other hand, it would favour the incorporation to the labour

market of the professionals according to his competitions assigned in each level, facilitating them at

the same time the capacity of professional promotion and rise to other categories that allow him main

knowledges and in definite better service to the user.


28

3.2 Academic Proposal. (University training)

The process of construction of the European Space of Upper Education, initiated with the

Statement of Bolonia of 1999, includes between his aims the adoption of a flexible system of

degrees, comprehensible and comparable, that promote opportunities of work for the students a

main international competitiveness of the system of upper education European. The quoted

statement establishes a temporary horizon for the full achievement of this space until the year 2010,

and foresee biennial phases of realisation, each one of which finalises with a conference of responsible

ministers of the upper education, in which it reviews the achieved and establish new guidelines for the

future. To date they have carried out the Conference of Prague in the year 2001 and the one of Berlin

in 2003, and is foreseen the celebration of the next ministerial meeting in Bergen, Norway, in the

month of May of 2005. This new system of degrees, as it has restated in the communication of the

Conference of Berlin, has to base in two levels nítidamente differentiated, designated, respectively,

Degree and Postgrado, that, in his group structure to his time in three cycles.

The first level, or of Degree, comprises the university educations of first cycle and has like aim

attain the qualification of the students to integrate directly in the labour field European with an

appropriate professional qualification. The second level, understanding of the educations of Postgrado,

integrates the second cycle of studies, devoted to the training advanced and conducente to the

obtaining of the title of Master, and the third cycle, conducente to the obtaining of the title of Doctor,

that represents the most elevated level in the upper education.

On the other hand, and in virtue of the competition attributed to the State by the article

149.1.30.To of the Spanish Constitution, on regulation of the conditions for the obtaining of

academic and professional titles, and in accordance with the established in the third final disposal of

the Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, of Universities, corresponds to the Government the

establishment of the university titles of official character and validity in all the national territory. For

the exercise of said competition, the quoted organic law, after having foreseen in his article 37 the

structuring in cycles of the university educations, has come to promote the integration of the university

system Spanish according to the lines emanated for the construction of the European Space of Upper

Education, to the that devotes his title XIII, and authorises to the Government, in his article 88.2, to

proceed to the establishment, reform or adaptation of the modalities cíclicas of each education and the

titles of official character and validity in all the corresponding national territory. (RD 55/2005, of 21

January, by which establishes the structure of the university educations and regulate the official

university studies of Degree)


29

3.2.1 Aims of the “Common Frame for the Titles, Diplomas and Certifications of Naturopathy in the

European Union"

_ The aim is to have of a “common frame for the Titles, Diplomas and Certifications of

Naturopathy in the European Union" to facilitate an automatic recognition, that contribute to the

Professional mobility in the frame of the European Union. The only possible aim to agree a «common

frame European » would have to be the one to facilitate an automatic recognition of the titles of

Naturopathy in the European Union to contribute to the professional mobility. This would mean that

when a person with a title in Naturopathy obtained in a country To moves to a country B:

To) it will recognise him officially the title, and for this the authorities of the country B will not

demand him any another proof of his capacity.

b) Whoever that go to hire him in the country B will be able to suppose that the possessor of the title

has the general knowledges that expect of somebody with a title in Naturopathy.

Obviously, any of these eases will guarantee the obtaining of an employment: the titled in

Naturopathy will have to go through any one procedures (oppositions, glimpsed, analysis of his

curriculum vitae, assessment by part of the employer of the university in which it obtained the title,…)

that use in the country B to obtain an employment, already was public or private.

_ The idea of a common frame has to configure surroundings to a system of accreditation.

_ The two components of a common frame are some similar structures (although no necessarily

identical) and a part troncal, basic and common, in the contents of the three first years of the plan of

studies (allowing some degree of local flexibility).

Some considerations

At first sight, the Naturopathy seems ideal for the definition of some common contents, for

example, for the three first years. By the same nature of the Naturopathy, and by his logical structure,

there will be a common part to all the plans of studies of Naturopathy, that will consist of the

fundamental notions. But on the other hand, they exist a lot of areas of the Naturopathy, and many of

them are related with other fields of the knowledge (biology, physical, psychology, ecology,

geography, anthropology, sociology, physiology, etc.). The flexibility is of maximum importance to

preserve this variety and the interrelationships that enrich our science.


30

It could achieve an agreement on a list of matters that with all security have to be included

(Foundations of Naturopathy, Methodology of the Naturopathy, History of the Naturopathy, Basic

Sciences and Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic) or that they had to be included

(homoeopathy, acupuncture, osteopatía) in any title of Naturopathy. In the case of some skilled

subjects, like Methods Specialities in Naturopathy (by ej. Foundations of Homoeopathy), definitely

there will be variations between countries and even between Centres of Studies of the same country,

without that it have to deduce any difference of quality between the distinct plans of studies. On the

other hand, at present they exist in the European Union plans of studies of Naturopathy very varied,

with different requirements of access and with distinct lengths of the educations and distinct levels of

exigencia on the students.

In fact there is a wide agreement about that the plans can diverge of significant way in what it

was additional to the part troncal basic (for example in the Naturopathy Applied or Technology

Naturopathic). What will do that these plans are recognizable like valid plans of Naturopathy will be

his form of presentation and his level of rigour, admitting that there is and has to follow having

variants in the importance that give to each subject and, to some extent, in the content, even inside the

three first years (Graduated in Naturopathy)

Regarding the second cycle, no only think that the distinct plans can differ, but we are

convinced that, to reflect the diversity of the Naturopathy and of his relations with other fields, would

have to develop in the different institutions all type of second different cycles in Naturopathy, taking

advantage of in particular the appearances in which more it stand out each institution. (Posgraduado In

Naturopathy).

_ Further of the basic part and troncal of the plan of studies, and definitely in all the second cycle,

the plans will be able to differ of significant way. Since there are a lot of areas in Naturopathy, and

are linked with other fields of the knowledge, the flexibility is of the maximum importance.

_ The common base of all the plans of studies will include the Foundations of Naturopathy,

Methodology of the Naturopathy, History of the Naturopathy, Morphological Sciences, Biochemical

and Biophysical for Naturopaths, and Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic).

_ We propose a wide list of other matters that ours graduated will have to know to be immediately

recognised like Naturopaths

_ We do not present a compulsory list of subjects that it was necessary to study, but if that

mention three skills that any graduated in Naturopathy will have to possess:

(To) the capacity to create models of intervention naturopathic


31

(b) The capacity of modelizar naturopathicmente a process higiológico

(c) The capacity to resolve problems with technical naturopathics.

_ The first cycle (Graduated) usually will have to include the learning of Basic Sciences

(Morphological Sciences, Biochemical and Biophysical for Naturopaths, Psychosocial Sciences

applied to Naturopathy and the acquisition of the knowledge of the most important fields of

application of the Naturopathy (See classification of the Naturopathy Applied or Technology

Naturopathic)

_ Will have to procure that the second cycles of Naturopathy went of very diverse índole. His

common characteristic will have to be that all the students carry out an appreciable quantity of

personal work and community.

3.2.2 Proposal of the Studies of Naturopathy in the Common Frame of the European Union.

We propose: A title of only degree, with three itineraries

The studies of Naturopathy in Spain, although they begin in 1925, has not had a historical

continuity; therefore they have little antiquity, as his peak and implantation begin with the democracy,

in 1976. Very on the contrary of what has occurred in the most advanced countries of Europe and in

the United States, where have existed titles of studies on Naturopathy from the first-half of the 20th

century.

Until 1981 it does not publish the first Plan of Studies of Naturopathy, collected in the White

Book of the Naturopathy, and later, in 1995 harmonises the education of Naturopathy with the

publication by part of FENACO of the Plan of Ordenación General of the Educational System of the

Naturopathy.

In any case, and in spite of the attempts (1981 and 1995) to harmonise the studies of

Naturopathy, the training was not specific neither integrated since it contemplated separately and with

distinct approaches. It is thus that the training has been and is of índole own and private, given by

Private Centres.

The present project has centred in the analysis of the current situation of the concerning the

private and specific titles in Naturopathy, Naturopathy, properly said, Acupuncture (also MTC),

Homoeopathy and Manual Technicians (Haptología), with the end to treat to pose of the best possible

form his adecuación to the European Space of the Upper Education, modernizándolos to adapt them to

the present surroundings and scheduling carefully his structure so that they drive to a good training of

the professionals of the field Naturopático.


32

Given the increasing importance of the field naturopático in the Spanish society, the present

project has been tackled with the maximum convicción of the importance that has for the immediate

future a suitable structuring of the university studies Spaniards in Naturopathy.

Being fully conscious that the Naturopathy constitutes a “all” hardly disgregable, since his

action resides precisely in his sinergias, this project looks for the best option, between the possible

approaches of titles of degree, to form properly to the professionals of the diverse specific profiles that

requires the market naturopático, the system of health and in general in all the fields of the Spanish and

European society in which they take part the professionals of the Naturopathy.

Therefore:

Like summary of the report that presents to continuation, the present project of design of the

studies of degree in the field of the natural health has consisted, in general terms, in the debate of the

suitability of two models of titles identified in base to the analysis of the labour market, of the situation

in the European Union and of the evolution of the degrees on the Natural Methods and procedures of

Health in the last years in Spain. The most interesting models in this project are the following.

Ø An entirely integrated model based in an only title of degree in Naturopathy with some

itineraries chords with the basic pillars of the field of the Natural Methods and procedures of

Health. The itineraries would have reflection in the supplement to the title.

Ø A model that would give place to three titles of degree, one in Naturopathy oriented to the

practice of the Manual Technicians (Naturopathy Manual or Haptología), another oriented to

the practice of the Homoeopathy and the third oriented to the practice of the Acupuncture

(MTC). Keeping the integrated point of view of the field of the Natural Methods and

Procedures of Health, these titles would be very linked, so that 50% of the troncalidad of both

would be common.

4. GENERAL COMPETITION OF THE NATUROPATHY

The professionals Naturopaths will contribute to improve and/ or keep the quality of life of the

people and of his surroundings ecosocial through a wide integral offer and global of Personal Services

of character sociosanitario , speeding up the taking of decisions by means of a methodology based in

scientific evidence of the Natural Methods and Procedures of Health attained through an activity


33

researcher directly related with the practical sociosanitaria. The Naturopathy and his diverse

specialities develop the practices of restablecimiento, maintenance and improvement of the state of

health by stimulation of natural processes. The diverse specialities of the Naturopathy are:

ecobiopsicosociales (Answer of Normalisation biogénicas –RNB-) that generate in front of the

problems of sociosanitarios real and/or potential that do not allow to achieve a State Optimo of Health.

2. Elaborate, formulate, implement and evaluate the standards, guides of action and specific protocols

7. CONCLUSIONS

The proposal of regulation of the profession of Naturopathy like denomination for the practice

of the Natural Methods and Procedures of Health, is a generic denomination accepted internationally

(with the distinct translations in each tongue, for example HEILPRAKTIKER, in Germany) and that

would allow, between other things,

1º. The free circulation by the countries of the EU, with the mutual recognition of titles, diplomas,

certificates and accreditations; in addition to an extension of the labour market with the consequent

labour insertion. We understand that it is better the regulation of an already existent profession with his

tools, that regulate tool by tool. We put by the example, the case of the Heilpraktiker German that are

used to to dominate and use some 300 tools (“natural therapies”), would be a problem if in Spain

wanted to regulate therapy by therapy, since in Spain any professional Naturopath, by his training,

practical and experience is used to to dominate an average of 30 – 100 tools (“natural therapies”),

having other professionals that are used to to dominate a minimum of 3 tools (“therapies”). Therefore,

so much the free circulation like the serious validation favoured regulated a profession with an

internationally recognised denomination.

2º Regulate to a community recognising professionally the quantity of diplomas, certificates and

other supporting documents under a denomination, as it is the case of the Heilpraktiker German, which

also would give main cohesion to the labour market, as it would facilitate the contracting, the

collective agreements, the allocation of epígrafes sociolaborales..... Also it would facilitate the

professional identification by part of the user, since it knows to the one who direct if what wishes is to

resolve his problems of health by Natural Methods and Procedures of Health, with the guarantees that

the regulation would comport.


37

3º Regarding the centres of training no ruled that exist at present, also would go out benefited with the

consequent stability and creation of new places of work, as the offer would increase and each centre

would adapt to the educations that offers inside a professional frame regulated with a common

denomination for practises it of the Natural Methods and procedures of Health as it is the

denomination of NATUROPATHY (finish in Spanish). Also the centres would offer training of the

distinct levels ( certifications, postgrado, master, experts, specialists, assistants, assistants,

technicians...), and all the alumnado, without distinction of the Natural Method and Procedure of

Health that have studied, will be able to incorporate to the labour market, being able to follow

expanding knowledge through the training continued offered by the centres of training of new tools

(“natural therapies”), for which the centre also will have to go adapting to the demand of the market.

4º On the other hand, it would favour the incorporation to the labour market of the professionals

according to his competitions assigned in each level, facilitating them at the same time the capacity of

professional promotion and rise to other categories that allow him main knowledges and in definite

improve the service to the user. These professionals could follow learning, knowing, investigating and

handling new tools (“natural therapies”) inside his profession Naturopathic.

5º And in ultima instance, would avoid the conflict with other professions, since it would remain very

defined an area of knowledge and professional qualification. Besides the training would be specific of

the sector Naturopático, avoiding like this the pseudointrusimo scientific and professional and the

filibusterismo semantic, resolving, with this, a historical problem that lasts already more than 80 years

in Spain.

6º In definite, so much the professionals, the users, the administration and the labour market would go

out benefited with the so much academic regulation like professional of the Naturopathy, and his

specialities, that propose.

Proposal of the Professional Qualification of Naturopathy

ANSWER To THE INCUAL ON THE FOLLOWING QUALIFICATIONS:

- THERAPIES WITH MANUAL TECHNICIANS OF QUIROMASAJE, LYMPHATIC

DRAINAGE And REFLEXOTERAPIA PODAL

- THERAPIES WITH MANUAL TECHNICIANS QUIROBIOENÉRGETICAS

- HERBODIETÉTICA

Considerandos: 1º we Consider that the initiative of regulation of the Professional Qualifications, previously exposed, part of a methodological error: it CONFUSES THE TOOLS WITH THE PROFESSION., and from this reasoning consider more important the one who regulate the profession. 2º we Consider that the profession designates Naturopathy, and that for his professional practice has “tools”, like the other professions. 3º Regarding the professional qualification of THERAPIES WITH MANUAL TECHNICIANS OF QUIROMASAJE, LYMPHATIC DRAINAGE And REFLEXOTERAPIA PODAL,

To) we Consider that they are tools that use in the professional practice of the Naturopathy,

since it founded the Naturopathy to finals of the 19th century, and that practise and use in our praxis professional; to the equal that also there are other professions that also use it like tools.

B) Consider that the definition of general competition contradicts legal appearances in matter

of health, advertising and others. The finish natural therapy is a generic concept that gives place, and has given place, to a confrontación historical with the supposed “terapeutas artificial”, conflict that situates more in the political and sociological plane that the plane of professional regulation. The question is simple and easy, if it pretends regulate the supposed natural therapies is that they exist other that they are artificial ( and therefore of doubtful effectiveness), and that know in the juridical legislation Spanish neither international exists a profession that was the natural of another: it does not exist the natural jurists (lawyers, magistrates, procuradores...) They do not exist the natural constructors (architects, engineers, experts, ) do not exist the natural drivers (taxi drivers, gruistas, truck drivers...). Or that the professional practice was the natural of another, considered purportedly artificial.

In the advertising plane, In the ROYAL DECREE 1907/1996, OF 2 AUGUST, ON

ADVERTISING And PROMOCION COMMERCIAL OF PRODUCTS, ACTIVITIES Or SERVICES WITH PRETENDED SANITARY PURPOSE, in the articulate 4. (13) it says 13. “That they use the natural «term» like characteristic linked to pretended preventive or therapeutic effects”. In the sanitary plane the Therapy defines andn the Dictionary of the Spanish language, the finish Therapeutic defines "Part of the Medicine that teachs the precepts and remedies to cure". And in the terminological Dictionary of medical sciences (ed. Salvat, Barcelona 1981), defines the finish therapeutic of the following way: "Part of the medicine that occupies of the treatment of the illnesses,


39

science or art to cure or relieve, that comprises the study of the own means for this end”. And in terms wider: Treatment of the illnesses. Element that goes in in the training of voices with the meaning of curing. Treatment.

All this appearance taxonómico and of nomenclature, already have it cleared and systematised in the profession of Naturopathy, by what consider that reopen a conflict with other professional communities is useless and unnecessary.

D) In the definition of competition enters the finish “assessment with criterion naturista”, and

this is an ambiguity to define the competitions of a profession, since the naturismo is a philosophy of life heritage of the mankind. Since by this same logical, also could apply the criterion naturista in any profession, and does not exist any profession whose difference with another was the application of a criterion, in this case “the criterion naturista”, that is to say does not exist the Infirmary with criterion naturista, the Physiotherapy with criterion naturista, the Podiatry with criterion naturista, Technician in Pharmacy with criterion naturista, or a Politics applied with criterion naturista....Etc... And following this logic of the criterion, could create professional qualifications with socialist criterion, criterion environmentalist, criterion higienista, communist criterion, Buddhist criterion..... On the other hand the philosophies, ideologies, religions and social movements give in a level of the society and the professions give in another social level, are two levels of different social understanding, for example is not the same a Sociologist that a socialist, neither an Ecólogo and an environmentalist, neither a politician and a politólogo or graduate in Political Sciences, neither a naturista and Naturopath; and this wants to say that no all the sociologists are socialist, neither all the ecólogos environmentalists neither all the politicians politólogos, neither all the Naturopaths are naturistas; neither neither it is a condition sine qua non for the exercise of the profession be participate or receive communion with the ideology, philosophy, religion or social movement (socialism, ecologismo, politician, naturismo). Therefore the naturismo when being a philosophy of life, serious ideal that applied in all the fields of the society, and for this recommend to visit the web http://www.naturismo.org/docs/205naturist.html. 4º Regarding the qualification proposed of THERAPIES WITH MANUAL TECHNICIANS QUIROBIOENÉRGETICAS, cost the previously exposed arguments 5º Regarding the qualification proposed of HERBODIETETICA, argue that one of the professional exit of the Naturopathy, is precisely the mount a herbolario and / or herbodietética, a big part of these at present existent establishments in Spain have at the front to a Naturopath. 1. IDENTIFICACION OF THE CUALIFICACION PROFESSIONAL

Qualification of NATUROPATH, since it is a socially accepted figure, recognizable and useful in the sector of the health.

The quoted statement establishes a temporary horizon for the full achievement of this space until the year 2010, and foresee biennial phases of realisation, each one of which finalises with a conference of responsible ministers of the upper education, in which it reviews the achieved and establish new guidelines for the future. To date they have carried out the Conference of Prague in the year 2001 and the one of Berlin in 2003, and is foreseen the celebration of the next ministerial meeting in Bergen, Norway, in the month of May of 2005. This new system of degrees, as it has restated in the communication of the Conference of Berlin, has to base in two levels nítidamente differentiated, designated, respectively, Degree and Postgraduate, that, in his group structure to his time in three cycles.

The first level, or of Degree, comprises the university educations of first cycle and has like aim attain the qualification of the students to integrate directly in the labour field European with an appropriate professional qualification. The second level, understanding of the educations of Postgraduate, integrates the second cycle of studies, devoted to the training advanced and conducente to the obtaining of the title of Máster, and the third cycle, conducente to the obtaining of the title of Doctor, that represents the most elevated level in the upper education.

On the other hand, and in virtue of the competition attributed to the State by the article

149.1.30.To of the Spanish Constitution, on regulation of the conditions for the obtaining of academic and professional titles, and in accordance with the established in the third final disposal of the Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, of Universities, corresponds to the Government the establishment of the university titles of official character and validity in all the national territory. For the exercise of said competition, the quoted organic law, after having foreseen in his article 37 the structuring in cycles of the university educations, has come to promote the integration of the university system Spanish according to the lines emanated for the construction of the European Space of Upper Education, to the that devotes his title XIII, and authorises to the Government, in his article 88.2, to proceed to the establishment, reform or adaptation of the modalities cíclicas of each education and the titles of official character and validity in all the corresponding national territory. ( RD 55/2005, of 21 January, by which establishes the structure of the university educations and regulate the official university studies of Degree)

2. AIMS OF THE “COMMON FRAME FOR THE TITLES, DIPLOMAS And CERTIFICATIONS OF NATUROPATHY IN THE EUROPEAN UNION"

_ The aim is to have of a “common frame for the Titles, Diplomas and Certifications of Naturopathy in the European Union" to facilitate an automatic recognition, that contribute to the


52

Professional mobility in the frame of the European Union. The only possible aim to agree a «common frame European » would have to be the one to facilitate an automatic recognition of the titles of Naturopathy in the European Union to contribute to the professional mobility. This would mean that when a person with a title in Naturopathy obtained in a country To moves to a country B: To) it will recognise him officially the title, and for this the authorities of the country B will not demand him any another proof of his capacity. b) Whoever that go to hire him in the country B will be able to suppose that the possessor of the title has the general knowledges that expect of somebody with a title in Naturopathy.

Obviously, any of these eases will guarantee the obtaining of an employment: the titled in Naturopathy will have to go through any one procedures (oppositions, glimpsed, analysis of his curriculum vitae, assessment by part of the employer of the university in which it obtained the title,…) that use in the country B to obtain an employment, already was public or private. _ The idea of a common frame has to configure surroundings to a system of accreditation. _ The two components of a common frame are some similar structures (although no necessarily identical) and a part troncal, basic and common, in the contents of the three first years of the plan of studies (allowing some degree of local flexibility). Some considerations

At first sight, the Naturopathy seems ideal for the definition of some common contents, for example, for the three first years. By the same nature of the Naturopathy, and by his logical structure, there will be a common part to all the plans of studies of Naturopathy, that will consist of the fundamental notions. But on the other hand, they exist a lot of areas of the Naturopathy, and many of them are related with other fields of the knowledge (biology, physical, psychology, ecology, geography, anthropology, sociology, physiology, etc.). The flexibility is of maximum importance to preserve this variety and the interrelationships that enrich our science.

It could achieve an agreement on a list of matters that with all security have to be included

(Foundations of Naturopathy, Methodology of the Naturopathy, History of the Naturopathy, Basic Sciences and Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic) or that they had to be included (homoeopathy, acupuncture, osteopatía) in any title of Naturopathy. In the case of some skilled subjects, like Methods Specialities in Naturopathy (by ej. Foundations of Homoeopathy), definitely there will be variations between countries and even between Centres of Studies of the same country, without that it have to deduce any difference of quality between the distinct plans of studies. On the other hand, at present they exist in the European Union plans of studies of Naturopathy very varied, with different requirements of access and with distinct lengths of the educations and distinct levels of exigencia on the students.

In fact there is a wide agreement about that the plans can diverge of significant way in what it

was additional to the part troncal basic (for example in the Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic). What will do that these plans are recognizable like valid plans of Naturopathy will be his form of presentation and his level of rigour, admitting that there is and has to follow having


53

variants in the importance that give to each subject and, to some extent, in the content, even inside the three first years (Graduated in Naturopathy)


54

Regarding the second cycle, no only think that the distinct plans can differ, but we are convinced that, to reflect the diversity of the Naturopathy and of his relations with other fields, would have to develop in the different institutions all type of second different cycles in Naturopathy, taking advantage of in particular the appearances in which more it stand out each institution. (Posgraduado In Naturopathy). _ But there of the basic part and troncal of the plan of studies, and definitely in all the second cycle, the plans will be able to differ of significant way. Since there are a lot of areas in Naturopathy, and are linked with other fields of the knowledge, the flexibility is of the maximum importance. _ The common base of all the plans of studies will include the Foundations of Naturopathy, Methodology of the Naturopathy, History of the Naturopathy, Morphological Sciences, Biochemical and Biophysical for Naturopaths, and Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic). _ We propose a wide list of other matters that ours graduated will have to know to be immediately recognised like Naturopaths _ We do not present a compulsory list of subjects that it was necessary to study, but if that mention three skills that any graduated in Naturopathy will have to possess: (To) the capacity to create models of intervention naturopathic (b) The capacity of modelizar naturopathicmente a process higiológico (c) The capacity to resolve problems with technical naturopathics. _ The first cycle (Graduated) usually will have to include the learning of Basic Sciences (Morphological Sciences, Biochemical and Biophysical for Naturopaths, Psychosocial Sciences applied to Naturopathy and the acquisition of the knowledge of the most important fields of application of the Naturopathy (See classification of the Naturopathy Applied or Technology Naturopathic) _ Will have to procure that the second cycles of Naturopathy went of very diverse índole. His common characteristic will have to be that all the students carry out an appreciable quantity of personal work and community.

3. PROPOSAL OF THE STUDIES OF NATUROPATHY IN THE COMMON FRAME OF THE EUROPEAN UNION.

We propose: A title of only degree, with three itineraries

PRESENTATION OF THE PROJECT

The studies of Naturopathy in Spain, although they begin in 1925, has not had a historical continuity; therefore they have little antiquity, as his peak and implantation begin with the democracy, in 1976. Very on the contrary of what has occurred in the most advanced countries of Europe and in the United States, where have existed titles of studies on Naturopathy from the first-half of the 20th century.


55

Until 1981 it does not publish the first Plan of Studies of Naturopathy, collected in the White Book of the Naturopathy, and later, in 1995 harmonises the education of Naturopathy with the publication by part of FENACO of the Plan of Ordenación General of the Educational System of the Naturopathy.

In any case, and in spite of the attempts (1981 and 1995) to harmonise the studies of

Naturopathy, the training was not specific neither integrated since it contemplated separately and with distinct approaches. It is thus that the training has been and is of índole own and private, given by Private Centres.

The present project has centred in the analysis of the current situation of the concerning the private and specific titles in Naturopathy, Naturopathy, properly said, Acupuncture (also MTC), Homoeopathy and Manual Technicians (Haptología), with the end to treat to pose of the best possible form his adecuación to the European Space of the Upper Education, modernizándolos to adapt them to the present surroundings and scheduling carefully his structure so that they drive to a good training of the professionals of the field Naturopático.

Given the increasing importance of the field naturopático in the Spanish society, the present project It has been tackled with the maximum convicción of the importance that has for the immediate future a suitable structuring of the university studies Spaniards in Naturopathy.

Being fully conscious that the Naturopathy constitutes a “all” hardly disgregable, since his action resides precisely in his sinergias, this project looks for the best option, between the possible approaches of titles of degree, to form properly to the professionals of the diverse specific profiles that requires the market naturopático, the system of health and in general in all the fields of the Spanish and European society in which they take part the professionals of the Naturopathy. Therefore:

Like summary of the report that presents to continuation, the present project of design of the studies of degree in the field of the natural health has consisted, in general terms, in the debate of the suitability of two models of titles identified in base to the analysis of the labour market, of the situation in the European Union and of the evolution of the degrees on the Natural Methods and procedures of Health in the last years in Spain. The most interesting models in this project are the following.

Ø An entirely integrated model based in an only title of degree in Naturopathy with some itineraries chords with the basic pillars of the field of the Natural Methods and procedures of Health. The itineraries would have reflection in the supplement to the title.

Ø A model that would give place to three titles of degree, one in Naturopathy oriented to the practice of the Manual Technicians (Naturopathy Manual or Haptología), another oriented to the practice of the Homoeopathy and the third oriented to the practice of the Acupuncture (MTC). Keeping the integrated point of view of the field of the Natural Methods and Procedures of Health, these titles would be very linked, so that 50% of the troncalidad of both would be common.

4. CURRENT SITUATION THE PLANS OF STUDY

ð The situation In Spain

The first Plan of Studies structured realises in November 1981, and appears published in the White Book of the Naturopathy, presented by the Naturopaths Spanish, sponsored by the Spanish Federation of Diplomados No State.

This Program distributes in three academic courses of the following way:

In the First year studied the FUNDAMENTAL CONCEPTS NATURISTAS, the DIAGNOSE And THE PREDICT, THE TERAPEUTICA NATURISTA.

In the second year studied the ALIMENTACION HUMAN, FOUNDATIONS OF BIOQUIMICOS OF THE NUTRICION, QUIMICA VEGETAL, DIETETICA And FITOTERAPIA

And in the third year studied all the concerning the HYGIENE NATUROPATICA where studies the utilisation of the water, the sun, the earth and the air, the climate, the exercise and the physical education, the massage, the relaxation, principles of yoga and the autohipnosis, the psicoterapia natural, the Chinese acupuncture and the electrical acupuncture. And the CLINICA NATURISTA. Already in this first Program of Corporate Studies observes the integrated and synergistic training, including, amongst other, the studies of massage and acupuncture. The second Plan of Studies elaborates in 1995, designating Plan of Ordenación General of the Educational System of the Naturopathy, elaborated by the Spanish Federation of Professionals in Naturopathy, adapting to the valid legislation. The POGSEN contemplates in the CAPITULATE I Length and Ordenación cíclica of the educations of the Naturopathy:

The educations of Naturopathy remain established in a Level of 3 Professional courses, being able to expand to two Levels, as they estimate convenient the Centres recognised heard the General Council of Professional Associations of Naturopaths of Spain (FENACO). In the present Plan the two Levels (II and III) do not constitute continuation of the First Level; therefore the educations of Naturopathy conducentes to the obtaining of the corresponding degree structure in three Formative Levels • The First Formative Level (Professional) of the educations of Naturopathy comprise basic

educations and of general training. But until they expand to the second level, the educations of Naturopathy also will be oriented to the preparation for the exercise of the professional activity. They will have a length, recommended, equivalent to three academic courses

• The Second Formative Level (Specialisation) of the educations of the Naturopathy will be

oriented to the specialisation in the corresponding Areas of knowledge of the Naturopathy, as well as the preparation for the development the professional activity. It will have a length recommended equivalent to two academic courses, according to the specialisation.


57

• The Third Formative Level (Investigation) of the educations of the Naturopathy will be oriented

to the profundización and training in the Technicians of investigation, inside the Areas of Knowledge the Naturopathy. It will have a length recommended equivalent to an academic course

And in the CAPITULATE II Content of the educations of Naturopathy

This Plan of Studies has a double general aim consistent, on the one hand, in requiring the paper that exerts the Naturopathy in the field of the Health, and by another endow to the future Naturopath of the scientific knowledges, technological, praxiológicos and humanists to apply conscious and responsibly the Natural Method in the field of the Health. The design curricular will treat each matter of an interdisciplinary way, standing out in each case a triple appearance: the scientific appearance, the technological appearance and the pedagogical dimension of the Naturopathy. (1) The contents of the plans of studies will order distinguishing: To) Matters troncales. They are the ones of compulsory inclusion in the design curricular of the Naturopathy, (Here are the asignaturas that are of compulsory inclusion in the plan of study of all the centres received to the P.Or.G.S.And.N. And that delimit the profile of the professional of the Naturopathy. * They are Matters Troncales the following asignaturas concrete, modules and areas

Ø Asignatura Of Theory of the Health Ø Asignatura Of Methodology of the Naturopathy Ø Asignatura Of History of the Naturopathy Ø Area Of Naturopathy Descriptive (Modulate of Basic Sciences and Modulate of Sciences of the

Behaviour). Ø Area Of Naturopathy Normative Ø Legislation and Professional Deontology Ø Technology Naturopathic

b) Determinate matters discrecionalmente by the Centres in his plans of studies, that to his time divide in: b1) compulsory Matters: freely established by each Centre, that will include them in the corresponding plan of studies like compulsory for the alumnado. b2) Matters optativas: freely established by each Centre, that will include them in the corresponding plan of training so that the alumnado choose between the same. If the Centre did not have the sufficient infrastructure to offer asignaturas optativas, developed educations, seminars, modules or complementary activities. b3) transversal Matters: they will be you specify them of each Centre for the different disciplines.


58

And in the POGSEN of 1999, enters a Capitulate to specify the type of degrees to issue, all this with the aim to harmonise the diversity of areas and modalities that conform the Naturopathy; asi pués in the TITLE V EXPEDICION OF THE PROFESSIONAL SUPPORTING DOCUMENTS OF NATUROPATHY.

ð The situation in Europe The studies of Naturopathy in the European Union also find inside what are realising in Spain. The number of courses academicos is of three with a half length of 1.600 hours (1.200 in France and 2400 in Portugal). It has done a compilation of plans of studies of five representative countries has analysed the structure of the education in the diverse countries and compared the plans of study, analysing the percentage of the distinct types of disciplines.

5. CONCLUSIONS ■ In spite of the diversity in the structure of the studies of Naturopathy in Europe, predominates the structure of 3-4 years + Specialisation (1-2 years). ■ The studies of Naturopathy include in his curriculum two big areas: the area of Basic Sciences (Anatomy, Physiology, Psychology, Pathology, Propedéutica, Biochemical) and the area of specifies of Natural Methods and Procedures of Health (Herbología, Dietary and Nutrition, Homoeopathy, Acupuncture, Massage, Osteopatía, Therapeutic Floral...). ■ Therefore the design curricular is integrador and synergistic, where understand that the Naturopathy is something more than the sumatorio of therapies. ■ The studies of Naturopathy also include, although no always, a practice that is to say, stays in centres of interest, with length varied.

6. MODEL PROPOSED FOR SPAIN.

As it remains reflected in the analysis of the European studies realised in the previous point of the present project, the studies in the field of the Naturopathy is diverse in the distinct formative Centres 1.- The structure of three Itineraries with a common trunk allows a rationalisation and optimisation of human and material resources, comparing with the current situation, avoiding administrative problems and academicians. 2.- It allows to share some professional profiles, affine to the three Itineraries, expanding the labour exits of the futures graduated, giving fit, at the same time, to the specific profiles of each Itinerary. 3.- To the cursar a common trunk to the start of the career, gives opportunity to the alumnado to define with main maturity the professional profiles (Itinerary) that wishes to follow. 4.- When having of three Itineraries of degree with specific competitions, but at the same time with a common trunk, makes possible, in definite, the convergence with Europe, answering, to his time, to the needs detected from the analysis of the current situation in Spain and the needs of the empleadores.

7. PROFESSIONAL COMPETITIONS

COMPETITIONS OF THE NATUROPATA Introduction 1. The term competition has distinct meanings and his utilisation can vary as it refer to the labour world, business, sanitary, of the right, of the education or of the training. Regarding the exercise of the Naturopathy , by competitions has to understand the necessary specific qualifications for the professional exercise. 2. In this field, the competitions define like the individual characteristics (knowledges, skills and attitudes) that allow to a person exert his activity of autonomous form, perfect permanently his practice and adapt to a half in constant transformation. 3. The acquisition of the knowledges, skills and attitudes required realises in the frame of a training with a determinate minimum length and with a specific content of the profession. 4. The competitions purchased to the term of the training vary. The exercise of the profession demands that the Naturopath go in in a process of permanent development, of put to the personal day and that have a capacity of evolution to end to put to the day his knowledges , to be able to adopt decisions, and even, to enter changes in the professional field. 5. The question of the competitions poses some questions that have to treat the breast of the organs of decision. The program of studies has to make respecting said decisions. The salient points are related, in particular, with the selection of candidates that possess the capacities and the necessary previous training to follow this program of studies. The level of selection and the level of training constitute the most important factors to achieve the level of competition of a fully qualified professional and that has obtained his title recently, therefore, in the long run, of the level of competitions of the qualified personnel. 6. The definition of the competitions to scale of the European Union has to be wide and cover the main common competitions demanded to be able to exert the profession in any Been member offering the maximum guarantees of security and profesionalismo. The acquisition of said competitions corresponds to the results that expect when finalising said studies; by his part, the criteria of training have to represent the minimum conditions for the automatic recognition of the qualifications of the Naturopaths.

INTRODUCTORY DISPOSAL

The Naturopathy is a Science of the Health of which even does not exist in Spain Official School recognised, neither recognises it to him specifically like official speciality of other professions. But if they exist private centres that give said educations, to the equal that Professional Organisations that represent the professional interests of the Naturopaths. Also they exist abroad, official schools and deprived of the Naturopathy, as well as professional corporations that represent to his titled, skilled publications and national and international congresses on his matter.

The foundations in which we base us to elaborate the General Statute of the Naturopathy, are the following: 1. The Spanish Constitution collects, in his Article 35.1, that "All the Spaniards have the duty to work and the right to the work, to the free election of his profession or job, to the promotion through the work and to a sufficient remuneration to satisfy his needs and the ones of his family, without that in no case it can do discrimination by reason of sex". 2. In the International Classification Uniform of Occupations (CIUO-88, adopted like Resolution III -Resolution on the review of the International Classification Uniform of Occupations- by the fourteenth International Conference of Estadigrafos of the Work, on 6 November 1987) established by the International Organisation of the Work (Or.I.T.), the occupation of Naturopath remains placed of the following way: Big group 3: Technicians and Professional of half level main Subgroup 32: Technicians and professional of half level of the Biological Sciences, the Medicine and the Health Subgroup 324: Practitioners of the Traditional Medicine and Curanderos. Primary group 3241: Practitioners of the Traditional Medicine. Occupation C): Naturopath 3. In the Article 9.2 of the Spanish Constitution says: "it Corresponds to the public powers promote the conditions so that the freedom and the equality of the individual and the groups in that they integrate are real and effective; stir up the obstacles that prevent or hamper his plenitud and facilitate the participation of all the citizens in the political life, economic, cultural and social." 4. In the Spanish Constitution, in his Article 22.1 and 22.2 establishes the recognition of the right of association and "the associations that pursue ends or use half tipificados like crime are illegal". And, besides, it forbids "the secret associations". 5. In the Law 2/1974 of 13 February, in the Law 19/1977 of 1 of Abril and Decree 873/77 of 22 of Abril, establishes the possibility of constitution, organisation and defence of the distinct professional specialities legally established (does not mention recognised) and the Naturopathy exists in Spain from 1922 and goes establishing from the years 50 protecting in the institution F.And.D.I.N.And. The day 21 May 1984 deposit in the Service of Deposit of Statutes, Records of Elections, Agreements and Collective Agreements of the Institute of Mediación, Arbitration and Conciliation - Subsecretaría of Work of the Ministry of Work and Social Security- the Statutes of the Spanish Federation of Professionals in Naturopathy (F.And.N.To.C.Or.), to the protect of the Law 19/1977 of 1 of Abril (B.Or.And. Number 127 of 28 May 1984) Constituting in the first Professional Association, that represents the exclusive interests of the Naturopaths that exert in the Spanish territory.


99

6. In the articulate 28 of the Spanish Constitution, referred the freedom of sindicación says: "All have right to sindicarse freely. The Law will be able to limit or except the exercise of this right to the Strengths or Institutes armed or to the other Bodies subjected to the military discipline and regulated the peculiarities of his exercise for the public civil servants. The sindical freedom comprises the right to found unions and to affiliate to the of his election, as well as the right of the unions to form confederations and to found international sindical organisations or to affiliate to the same. Anybody will be able to be forced to affiliate to a union" 7. The Organic Law 11/1985 of 2 August on Sindical Freedom and the Decree 14/1986 of 5 February develop this constitutional right. The day 7 August 1990 were deposited in the Centre of Mediación, Arbitration and Conciliation, of the Provincial Delegation of Work of Seville -Council of Work of the Board of Andalucia- the Statutes of the Professional Association of Naturopaths of Seville, to the protect of the organic Law 11/1985 of 2 August (B.Or.P Of Seville number 31 of 7 February 1991). All the Professional Associations of Naturopaths federadas in F.And.N.To.C.Or. They have realised the same procedure. 8. The Articulate 52 of the Spanish Constitution says: "The law regulated the professional organisations that contribute to the defence of the economic interests that are them own. His internal structure and operation will have to be democratic". 9. In the Official Bulletin of the State number 236, of 2 October 1990, fascículo first, appear published the epígrafes of Economic and Professional Activities of Inland revenue, corresponding to the professional exercise of the Naturopathy. In the group 944 collect the Services of Naturopathy and in the 841 collects the one of Naturopath. In the Law 30/1985, of 2 August, of the Tax On the Value Added, the Regulation on professional and economic activities, Art. 13.1.3º, page 251 collects that they are not exentos of the Tax on the Value Added, the services "loaned by Naturopaths... That they do not possess a sanitary degree, in the exercise of these activities parasanitarias" (Query no vinculante of 19-1-1987 File 418/86). They will be subjects to the Tax on the Value Added and no exentos of the same the services that to continuation relate when they do not loan by sanitary professionals that act in the exercise of clear-cut professions like sanitary by the juridical legislation Spanish: "...Naturopathy..." (Query no vinculante of 11-4-1988 File 186/88) 10. The Articulate 43 of the Spanish Constitution collects: "...The right to the protection of the health". "It competes to the public powers organise and tutelar the health publishes through the preventive measures and of the provision and necessary services..." 11. The Articulate 1º (Of the right to the protection of the health) of the General Law of Health 14/1986 of 25 of Abril says: "The present Law has by object the general regulation of all the actions that allow to do effective the right to the protection to the health recognised in the articulate 43 of the Constitution." 12. The Articulate 3º (Of the system of health) of the General Law of Health collects that "The means and performances of the sanitary system will be oriented to the promotion of the health and to the prevention of the illnesses. 13. In the Articulate 6-1 incide again in one of the basic orientations of the performances of the Administrations Publish Sanitary: "The Promotion of the Health". In the articles 6-2 and 6-4, collects


100

the performances to "Promote the individual interest, familiar and social by the health..." And "Guarantee the sanitary assistance in all the cases of stray of health " 14. In the Articulate 10º, collect the rights of the users regarding the distinct administrations publish sanitary: 1. "To the respect to his person, human dignity and privacy, without that it can be discriminated by reasons of race, of social type, of sex, morals, economic, ideological, politician or sindical". 3."To that give him in comprehensible terms, to him and to his familiar or gathered, complete information and continued, verbal and written on his process, including diagnose, predict and alternative of treatment". In the point 2. On the right to the information on the sanitary services to that it can access, and on the necessary requirements for his use, can argue that like the Naturopathy is not a clear-cut service like sanitary in the juridical legislation Spanish the Administrations are not forced to inform on such services; but the articulate 42 of the Constitution and the articulate 1º of the General Law of Health recognises the right to the protection of the health. 15. In the Articulate 46 says, the mentioned Law, that "Are fundamental characteristics of the National System of Health:... b) The suitable organisation to loan an integral attention to the health...". 16. In the Chapter III of the General Law of Health (Of the Areas of Health) Articulate 56 2.To) it says: In the field of the primary attention of health, by means of formulate of work in team, will attend to the individual, the family and community; developing by means of programs, functions of promotion of the health, prevention, curing and rehabilitation, to través, so much of his basic means, as of the teams of support to the primary attention. 17. In 1977, The World-wide Assembly of the Health, the organism of main authority inside the WHO, adopted the resolution that "the main put social of the WHO in the coming decades has to be achieve that in the year 2000, all the citizens of the world enjoy of a level of health that allow them carry a social life and economically productive. According to the International Conference on Primary Attention of Health, celebrated in Alma Ties in 1978, the key to achieve this aim is the primary attention of health. The Regional Committee for Europe of the WHO, gathered in Fez, Morocco, in 1980, adopted like first priority in sanitary politics of his States Members a regional strategy of Health for all in the year 2000 and approved, in 1984, 38 put that they described the minimum of progresses to realise by part of the European countries in the improvement of the health and of the problems related with her. In this sense, the paper of the Naturopathy would be collected in some of the following put: It put number 13. Lifestyles that drive to the Health. For 1990, the national politics of all the States Members would owe to ensure the existence of legislative mechanisms, officials and economic that provided a wide support intersectorial and the precise resources for the promotion of healthy lifestyles, ensuring the effective participation of the people to all the levels in this way to do politics. It put number 14. Systems of Social Support. For 1990, all the States Members would have to have specific programs that resalten the fundamental role of the family and other social groups in the development and the tasks of support to the healthy lifestyles.


101

It put number 15. Knowledge and motivation for a healthy behaviour. For 1990, the educational programs of all the States Members would have to do upsetting in the knowledge, the motivation and the skills that the precise people to purchase and mantear his health. It put number 16. Promote positive behaviours for the health. For 1995, they would have to produce in all the States Members significant increases in the positive behaviours for the health, like a nutrition balanced, not smoking, a suitable physical activity and a good command of the nervous tensions. It put number 17. Decrease of the harmful behaviours for the health. For 1995, they would have to produce in all the States Members significant descents in the harmful behaviours for the health, like the abuse of the alcohol and the pharmaceutical products, the use of illicit drugs and dangerous chemicals, the reckless driving in the road and the violent social behaviour. It put number 18. Politics for a healthy environment. For 1990, the States Members would have to have political multisectoriales that protected to the environment of effective way against the risks for the health, ensured that the community is conscious of them and involve to this level, and supported at the same time, of effective way, the efforts to bend the dangers of this type that affect to but of a country. It put number 22. Surveillance of the foods. For 1990, all the States members would owe to having reduced of significant way the risks for the health derived of the pollution of the foods, as well as prpers have put in practises measured to protect to the consumers in front of the harmful additives. It put number 28. Content of the Primary Attention of Health. For 1990, the System of Primary Attention of Health of all the States Members has to provide a wide range of services of promotion of the health, curativos, rehabilitadores and of support, that face up to the basic sanitary needs of the population, loaning particular attention to the individuals and groups of high vulnerable risk and neglected. The Order of 12 November 1984, of the Council of Health and Consumption of the Board of Andalucia, by which regulates the recognition of scientific interest-sanitary says: "Being one of the basic aims of the Council of Health and Consumption develop the studies and scientific investigations in the area of the health, appreciates the need to establish the norms that regulate the granting of the recognition of scientific interest-sanitary inside the Autonomous Community Andalusian like instrument of support to the initiatives, so much publish like private, that develop tending to the training, specialisation and diffusion of the technicians of health." The day 13 January 1992 the Andalusian Federation of Professional Associations of Naturopaths remains inscribed in the Register of Science associations of Sanitary Character with the number 76/92. It put number 37. Education of the personnel of other sectors to support the strategy "Health for All". The strategies of Health for All support in enormous measures in the actions undertaken by sectors situated by out of the sanitary field, The people that works in sectors related with the health, would support the axes and programs of health for all if the politics publishes did upsetting in that the protection of the health is also a key worry for other distinct sectors of the sanitary; it is likewise transcendental that the programs of training of said people put emphasis in the reasons by which have to support of way activate the activities of health for all.


102

18. Regarding the Right Compared, in the countries of the C.And.And, amongst other, we have the case of Germany where the profession of Heilpraktiker (Naturopaths) this orderly by the following normative: * Law on the professional exercise of the Science of the Health without nomination (Law of Heilpraktiker) of 17 February 1939. Bulletin of the Reich, splits I, of the 20-2- 1939 * Articulate 53. Law of Heilpraktiker. Official bulletin of the Federal Republic, number 22, Splits I, of 9 March 1974. * Ordenanzas For Professionals Heilpraktiker. Published by the Ministry of German Justice on 25 September 1986. And in Portugal, the Statutes of "the Associcao Portuguese of Naturopathy" were registered and approved by the Ministry of Work and published in the Bulletin number 10 of 1982 19. Regarding the complaints by intrusismo (articles 321 of the Penal Code) realised against the Naturopaths and other professionals of the no medical health, find that all have been absolved with the same arguments: "...Not to giving in the Faculties of Spanish Medicine educations of..., they do not issue officially titles that authorise and legitimate the exercise of such activities, by which badly can usurped functions or professional activities that do not exist legally and that does not correspond to determinate professionals that possess the title legitimador corresponding..." But, perhaps, the sentence absolutoria more important, for our profession, was the one who dictated the Iltma Court of Appeals of Santiago (Chile) on 30 August 1937 in favour of D. Manuel Lezaeta Acharán. The sentence finishes saying in the point 8) "That by sentence of this Court of 12 November 1935, leave established that the systems naturistas, more than a system curativo, matter a diet of life" As we can observe, so much the Spanish Constitution of 1978, like the General Law of Health of 1986, the Orientations of the Or.M.S. And the Right Compared, serve of frame of reference to concretise the Legal Status of the Naturopathy in Spain. PREAMBULO

As it is very known of all, the/ace Naturopaths come exerting in Spain from 1922, that is to say, our profession has fulfilled already the 71 years of existence in our country. Like this then , and


103

supporting us in all this big work and effort done by all the mates and mates Naturopaths that preceded us (remember that the first attempt of Legislation of the profession of Naturopaths was realised by the Naturopaths grouped in the F.And.D.I.N.And, in General Assembly of the Naturopaths Spanish celebrated in Barcelona on 2 February 1980), propose the following project of General Statute of the Naturopathy so that it serve of legislative frame, and definitively our profession was recognised officially in Spain.

Along the history the ordenación and/or creation of new professions have followed practically the same criteria: 1º Reagrupación semantic, that is to say group under a same denomination the distinct activities exerted and that corresponded so much with the definition of the activity as by his social need. For example, until the unification of the medical profession, that realise in 1828, existed the pure doctors, medical-surgeons, barberos, sangradores, surgeons sangradores, protomedicos... Another example; when I create the profession of To.T.S., according to the Decree of 4 December 1953, went with the unification of Practitioners, Nurses and Matrons. 2º Editorial of a Transitory Disposal by which recognises and validates so much the studies and diplomas of existent professional qualification until the moment as well as the time of exercise in the profession. 3º Other professions have created in base to social and economic needs. For example the Diplomatura in Dietary and Human Feeding, Alimentary Technology... 4º Others have created when going forming an own entity like profession and have conformed like independent profession. For example Odontology and Estomatología, Podiatry, Physiotherapy. 5º Others have conformed by need and social demand, or by imperative of the technological advance. Like example of the first case have the one of the Graduated Social and Commercial Agents; and like second have the one of Computing or Sciences of the Information. And once that are defined happen to create the Plans of Studies and to give him professional category through the granting of the Professional School In the profession of NATUROPATHY give also the same processes: 1º Reagrupamiento semantic. Under the finish of NATUROPATHY group all those professions that use the Natural Method Applied in the Field of the Health (no in the field of the medicine); that is to say they use a no clinical approach of the health, and therefore his field of work this in the Areas No-Clinical of the Health. For example. The utilisation of Natural Stimuli (water, sun, earth, air ), the utilisation of the natural foods (Trofología, Natural Feeding...), the utilisation of the sound, the colours, the writing, the aromas, the plants , the electromagnetic energies, cosmic, telluric and personal, the utilisation of the resources psicofísicos individual (biorrespiración, relaxation...), the utilisation of manual elements (quiropraxia, kinesiología...), functional elements (oligoelementos, natural substances dinamizadas, mineral salts, vitamins).


104

In the reagrupamiento semantic, use the finish Naturopathy, first by his historical tradition (remember that the first diploma of Naturopathy in our country dates of 1922), and second by international agreement 2º Editorial of the Transitory Disposal In this disposal propose an editorial the widest possible to collect all the Technicians that Apply the Natural Method in the Field of the Health, so that anybody remain was and where fit the at present existent technicians and those that can create , once that have defined the frame of the Natural Method in the Field of the Health 3º Social Need and Economic. The evidence shows that it exists an increasing worry by the health no so much in the sense of the right to the health but in the emergent Culture of the Health. The social demand of a profession that answers to this need goes in increase. In the economic slope, remains clear that the Naturopathy provides an essential assistance, based in methods and simple and natural technology, scientifically founded and socially acceptable, to a cost that the community and the country can bear (does not do fault that detail it). On the other hand, the fact to have an epígrafe in the Tax of Economic Activities, and fulfil with the Articulate 31.1 of the Constitution already is a sample. 4º Forming and Autonomy The Naturopathy would not go in in this section as it has not had this process, which supports the fact that the Naturopathy does not conform like a speciality but like an interdisciplinary science and multidisciplinaria. Something logical if we think that the formal object of study of the Naturopathy, the Health in his natural slope, is a complex phenomenon, dynamic, interactive and holistico. 5º In this point is important to stand out that the Naturopathy is ancient Art new Science, is one of the Arts but ancient and of the Professions but new; it has a long past but a small history. The Naturopathy is a young science, with only a brief history of technical concepts to his back. Once that remain defined the parameters of reference, happen to order our profession.

CHAPTER III Of the/ace Naturopaths

Art. 7º. Principles of the Profession (1) The Naturopath is due to the health of the people and of the society in general. The Naturopath exerts a liberal profession. It fulfils his function with consciousness, according to the hypothetical method-deductivo-experimental of the Sciences of the Health, the philosophy naturista and the art of the vital hygiene; and in base to the rich experience of the tradition naturopathic. (2) The Naturopath acted exerting his profession, the education of the health and of the Naturopathy, with the ethical more chord to the philosophy humanist-natural and universal, doing of his quehacer daily norm of ejemplaridad for all the world and for a better world. Exerting his profession, and equally in his private life, has to show a worthy behaviour according to the big owe morals of his profession; and descartar all what could be hurtful for the reputation of his profession. Art. 8º. Definition of Naturopathy and Naturopath (1) Naturopathy * Etymology The Naturopathy is of the few sciences that can not be defined stricto senso by his etymology, but we would have to resort to an etymological definition in latissimo senso, as in his etymological meaning does not define clearly the sense that takes the Naturopathy at present. Although yes it is truth that to define a science it is necessary to resort to something more than to his simple etymological sense. Well, from the etymological point of view, Naturopathy comes of the Latin Nature, that means nature, way to be, character, temperament, natural gifts, natural order, the nature like group of beings and of natural phenomena; and of the Greek Pathos, that means suffering, afección, that like philosophical concept (stoicism) is associated to element of maduration of the human being, and, like religious concept (tradition judeo-Christian) this associated to elements soteriológicos of big incidence in the human nature, that is to say, the concept of Pathos like element of existential understanding. The concept Pathos is complementariamente opposite to the concept of Nouson (illness) that traditionally from Hipócrates is considered the formal object of the Medicine, but no of the Naturopathy. Like example see in the Corpus Hipocrático as they exist the two terms like different titles of some treaties: Perì pathon (translated to the Latin as "Of affectionibus" and to the Spanish as "On the afecciones"), and Perì nouson (translated to the Latin as "Of morbis" and to the Spanish as "On the illnesses"), Perì ton entos pathon (Of affectionibus internis - On the afecciones internal), and Perì injure nousou (Of morbo sacral - On the holy illness). Another example can see it with the allocation of the two terms that use to distinguish the two big schools of the tékhne iatrike that starred the beginnings of the desacralización of the praxis curativa: The School of Cos considers it to him, mainly, pathological and the School of Cnido considers it to him, essentially, nosológica. As it sees the two terms are used with different meanings, although some authors interpret this phenomenon like a case of ambiguity and of fault of definition. Of this can deduce that, from the etymological point of view, Naturopathy means the understanding and superación of the physical suffering, emotional, psychological (individual plane) and social (flat community) through the integration (differentiated of a simple adaptation) in the nature using the natural means, previously cognitados. With this remains surpassed the dark and ambiguous definition of Naturopathy like "the evil studied in function of the nature" and restart the sense originario of his meaning in English of The Nature`s Path that means the "Footpath of the nature" * Definition integradora of Naturopathy The Naturopathy has like formal object of study the Health, that is a complex phenomenon, dynamic, interactive, intraactivo and holista, and therefore demands a methodology of study that was at the same


109

time dynamic, interactive, holista and creative. Like this as we can say that the Naturopathy is a discipline integrativa that has like formal object of study the health and like methodological aim the integration of the human being with the nature, that is to say the conscious adaptation to the natural Laws like half to achieve this optimum state of health (understood in wide sense, and no exclusively fisicalista). Of this way define: "The Naturopathy is the discipline that systematises the scientific knowledges, technological and praxiológicos on the health in his natural field" In the diagram attach, can see the systematic structure of the Naturopathy: FORMAL OBJECT: The Health AIM OF THE INVESTIGATION: Etiology of the Health METHODOLOGICAL AIM: Education for the Health and Promotion of the Health TECHNOLOGY: Natural Agents of Health PRAXIOLOGÍA: Personal program of Health * International definition of Naturopathy "Science and Art that uses all the natural resources to his scope to conserve, increase and restore to the maximum the health (physical, mental, transpersonal, ecological and social) of the person, of the family, of the community, of the country and of the planet. (2) Naturopath * Professional definition "Naturopath Is all professional titled like such and that finds , therefore, capacitado technically to do an Evaluation of the State of Health of the person in relation with the Indicators of the State of Health (feeding, constitution, habits, hereditary antecedents, sex, activity, habitat, half professional, familiar, social, clinical antecedents) and elaborate the consequent Personal Program of Health directed to that the person achieve his State Optimo of Health, purchasing the necessary knowledges for the autogestión of his health and the one of his surroundings (family, community...) * International definition "Naturopath Is that person that, having ingresado of a way regulate in a Centre of education of the Naturopathy recognised by the International League of Naturopathy, has completed satisfactorily the program of studies established and has purchased the qualifications required to be avalado professionally, by the International League of Naturopathy, to exert the Naturopathy (that it comprises the Education for the Health, the Promotion of the Health, the Autogestión of the Health and the Salutismo, so that the person achieve a State Optimo of Health and the society purchase a Culture of the Health. In definite Promote Positive Behaviours for the Health) * Corporate definition "They are Naturopaths those who are incorporated to a Professional Association, with all his valid rights, exert his professional activity dice of high in the groups 841 and 944 of the Tax of Economic Activities and find in possession of the respective safe of Civil Responsibility." (1) Only they can use the denomination of Naturopaths those who are it in accordance with the present definitions. (2) Without prejudice to the previous, will be able to belong also to the Professional Associations of Naturopaths in quality of no ejerciente, with the rights recognised in the present Statute.


110

(3) they will be able to be associated/ace of Honour those people that receive this nomination by agreement of the General Assembly and to proposal of the Board of Government, and in attention to merits or notable services loaned in favour of the profession or of the Naturopathy in general. (4) it will not be able to limit the number of the components of the Professional Associations of Naturopaths, neither close these temporary or definitively to the admission of new applicants. Art. 9º. Competitions of the Naturopath (1) The field of performance of the Naturopath this in the Areas no-clinical of the Health (Averroes said that when they have fracasado the diet -understood like hygienic measures- and the illness adueña of the organism, can occur well that it evolve spontaneously to the health -by means of hygienic resources-. Or that need the help of the medicine. Simon Vicente Benede, Naturopath contemporary of the Aragonese Association of Naturopathy, says that where finishes the Naturopathy begins the Medicine). Therefore the Naturopathy constitutes like "Service of Support" to the Health. (2) The professional function specifies of the Naturopaths goes directed to all that publish that by own convicción wish to follow Norms of Healthy Behaviour, based in the principles of the respect integrador to the Nature (Application of the Natural Agents of Health to achieve a State Optimo of Health, Education to Harmonise to the human being and the Society with the Nature, Technicians of Election of Healthy Lifestyle in Harmony with the Nature, Behaviour related with the respect to the Nature, Behaviour directed to use the resources, remedies and natural hygienic measures for the autogestión of the health, Promocionar salustitamente the use of elements that racionalicen the natural resources). (3) Do a correct Evaluation of the State of Health and signal the norms of behaviour, hygiene and feeding but adapted to keep a State Optimo of Health (4) The Programs of Health, (elaborated by the Naturopath) will not have therapeutic purpose, but purpose exclusively Hygienic or Salutista, so as to stimulate to the people to adopt a concept of positive health and patterns of behaviour healthier in Harmony with the Nature. (5) The Naturopath can attend complementariamente to all ill person always and when the same find previously under a correct diagnose medical. The Program of Health adapted as I complement and never substituting to the norms established by the corresponding medical professional. (6) The Naturopath, inside his functions, will give the relative education to the health of the Community with the end to contribute to the training of a healthy consciousness on the problematic ecological. (7) The Naturopath will cooperate with the Sanitary Authorities if like this they required it to him in the planning of activities that allow to control the environment and are relative to the mejoramiento of the attention of health comunitaria. (8) The Naturopaths will participate in the actions that exercise or develop the Community with regard to his own problems of health. (9) The Naturopath will participate in the tending programs to reduce the harmful action of the chemical elements, biological or physicists caused by the industry and other human activities with the end to contribute to the improvement of the warm of life of the Community. (10) The Naturopath will participate in teams multidisciplinarios that develop investigations epidemiológicas and experimental headed to obtain information on the environmental risks that can affect to the health, to the improvement of the life and to the quality of the work, determining the actions and evaluating the effects of the intervention of the naturopathic.


111

(11) The Naturopath carried out Programs of Education and Promotion of the Health, in the breast of the Society, with a view to promocionar the consumption of foods of vegetal origin. Likewise it will propose, previous the pertinent studies, the use of noble agents in the agriculture for seeds it of edible vegetal products biological and will procure that they avoid the harmful chemical agents in the agricultural crops, the same for seeds it that for food of the livestock. (12) The Naturopath will collaborate in the Programs of Promotion of the Health putting to the service of the attainment of this social function his scientific knowledges and ethical behaviour in the development of the different programs that schedule with this aim. (13) Likewise it will collaborate with organisms, institutions or associations that have by purpose the creation and development of prevention and attention to handicapped persons and incapacitated, as well as to marginados social. (14) The Naturopath will design or will participate in tending Programs to improve the free spaces that make possible a meeting of the boy with the Nature. (15) In the field of his professional competition, the Naturopath will be responsible of the programs of Education for the Health headed to the Third Age. (16) In the field of the Health Publishes, the Naturopath acted like Agent of Primary Attention of Health. When constituting the Naturopathy like "Service of Support" to the Health, the participation of the Naturopaths in the sector publish will do previous punctual agreements between F.And.N.To.C.Or. (Or of the Professional Organisations federadas) and the central Administration ( or the Administrations with competitions to such effects). (17) In the private sector F.And.N.To.C.Or. (Or the Professional Organisations federadas) arrived to punctual agreements with the Companies of private Health to offer the services of the Naturopaths associated. Art. 10º. Elements of Naturopathy The elements that uses the Naturopath for his correct professional exercise define in base to the structure that has the Naturopathy like Science of the Health. To continuation define the basic elements that constitute the Naturopathy: The body of study of the Naturopathy, like science of the health, turns surroundings to five areas of knowledges that are: *NATUROPATHY DESCRIPTIVE *NATUROPATHY NORMATIVE *NATUROPATHY EXPERIMENTAL *NATUROPATHY APPLIED *NATUROPATHY FUNDAMENTAL To continuation go to expose the general diagram to have a global vision of the aforementioned areas, and afterwards happen to his explanation and development. In this diagram contemplate the possibilities of development that has the Naturopathy like plot of autonomous knowledge, and the possibilities that it structures like a body of knowledge with own entity inside the field of the Sciences of the Health.

To) In the biological dimension describe the biological mechanisms that take part in the Health; in the Structure and Biological Function study the structural forming and the operation of the human organism in his chemical biophysical slope; we study also the phenomena of the inheritance that conform a good state of health, as well as the physical world of the person that takes part direct or indirectly in his state of health, and his development like healthy person. So much the biology of the


114

health like the ecology of the health complement the study of the biological dimension of the human being. b) In the psychological dimension describe the psychological phenomena that take part in the health; in the Structure and psychological Function study the structural and functional bases of the human behaviour; we study also, from the point of view of the evolutionary psychology, the development of the person through the distinct stages of the life and his Healthy Lifestyle. Also it is necessary to study the Psychological Typologies that favour some healthy behaviours for afterwards can act on them, and in the Psychology of the health complete the study of the Human Activity in the field of the Health. c) In the sociological dimension describe the complex sociological relations that take part in the phenomenon of the Health. This relation begins in the community less dimensionada and nearer to the person until the but dimensionada and further, but intrinsically related ones with others, study the intervention of the distinct communities in the forming of healthy habits in the people at the same time that we also study the influences of the distinct political salutíferas that establish in our community; and by ultimo in the Sociology of the Health dimensiona all this dynamic interrelationship in the process of the Health. 2º In the Area of Naturopathy Normative, develop and apply in practises it the norms directed to a good praxis of the Health. To) The Education for the Health constitutes the most important part in the normatividad Naturopathic. The Glossary of Promotion of the Health (Don Nutbeam, Regional Office for Europe of the World Health Organisation, 1985. trd. Andrea of Manuel and José Luis Moscoso, Health between All, 1986) says: " The education for the health is a finish that it uses to designate to the opportunities of learning created consciously with seen to facilitate changes of behaviour directed to one put predetermined. The education for the health has been up to now closely tied to the prevention of the illness, as half susceptible to modify the behaviours identified like factors of risk of determinate illnesses. It treats fundamentally of an educational activity designed to expand the knowledge of the population in relation with the health and develop the understanding and the personal skills that promote the health" In this sense, the Naturopathy contributes the indispensable need to take like reference the natural dimension of the human being in his context biocultural in the aims of the Education for the Health. Continuous saying the Glossary "however, the education for the health does not concern only of the concrete individuals and of his healthy behaviours and of risk. In the field of the promotion of the health is also necessary to put in practise different forms of education for the health directed to the groups and the organisations and to whole communities". The intervention naturopathic in the programs of education for the health serves also for the awareness on the ecological and economic causes of the health, so like the process of "enfermar" is something consistent of the environmental relations, conductuales, social and economic, removing him this load of magic and unknown conceptions; at the same time that elaborate strategies directed in this sense. In the casuística naturopathic (the health by the nature) signal, on line with the collected with the Glossary that "the education for the health supposes a superación of the paper that traditionally has attributed him , limited fundamentally to change the behaviours of risk of the individuals; and it converts like this in a powerful instrument of personal and social transformation. Therefore it is necessary that the content of these programs include informations that, for example, show the political feasibility (politics of health with references to the biocultura) and the organisational possibilities of diverse forms of performance headed to attain ecological changes, economic or social that favour the health".


115

b) The Promotion of the Health constitutes the fundamental tool of the intervention naturopathic, together with the education for the health. It collects the Glossary that "the promotion of the health is the process by means of which the individuals and the communities are in conditions to keep a better control on the determinantes of the health and, of this way, improve his state of health". In this sense, the social intervention of the Naturopathy (basing in the basic principles of the Naturismo-Vegetarianismo-Higienismo) has had like one of his basic axes that to obtain a good state of health it is necessary to change the personal lifestyle and, at the same time, the lifestyle of the society, using like element unificador the respect to the laws of the Nature. This paradigmatic concept this to the thread with the allocation that gives in the Glossary to the paper of the Promotion of the Health in the sense that "it has turned into a concept unificador for all those that admit that, to be able to boost the health, is necessary to change to the unísono so much the conditions of life like the form to live. The promotion of the health constitutes a strategy that links to the people with his surroundings" and add -physical-biological-cultural- " and that, with seen to create a healthier future, combines the personal election with the social responsibility. An inherent principle to the approach of promotion of the health is to involve to all the population in the context of his daily life; for this is fundamental that exist a participation comunitaria effective in the definition of the problems, in the form of decisions and in the measures undertaken to modify and improve the factors determinantes of the health. For this reason, the promotion of the health involves a narrow cooperation between all the sectors of the society, included the government, with seen to ensure that the "global surroundings" promote the health". Continuous saying the Glossary "of form but concrete, the promotion of the health constitutes a new strategy inside the field of the health and the social field. This strategy can consider ; on the one hand political, whereas this directed to the preparation of plans of concrete performance, and by the another like an approach that promotes the health and this oriented to the lifestyles. Like this then , the promotion of the health does not occupy only to promote the development of the personal skills and the capacity of the person to influence on the factors that determine the health, but it also includes the intervention on the surroundings to reinforce so much those factors that sustain styles of healthy lives as to modify those other factors that prevent to put them in practises. This strategy resume in the following sentence "achieve that the healthiest options are the easiest to choose"". The promotion of the health has been sintetizada (WHO) through the following general principles of performance: * The promotion of the health involves to work with the people, no on her. * It begins and it finishes in the local community * This directed to the causes of the health, so much in the immediate as in the underlying. * It values so much the interest by the individual as by the environment. * It underlines the positive dimensions of the health. * It affects, and it would have to involucrar, therefore, to all the sectors of the society and the environment. The promotion of the health and the education for the health are intimately related and tied. The promotion of the health will work in the social dimension of the person, therefore goes to depend, in essence, of the active participation of a very informed population in the process of change to a Culture of the Health. And the education for the health will work in the individual dimension of the person, constituting in a basic element for the achievement of these aims. In this point is important matizar the difference that can have between Promotion of the Health and Prevention of the Illness (complementary concepts inside the system of health).

PROMOTION OF THE HEALTH PREVENTION OF THE ILLNESS


116

Sight The health The illness Aims Increase the health Prevent the apparition, in general and

developing or sequelas of concrete appearances of concrete illnesses

Groups targets Individuals, groups and communities

Basically groups of risk and in the primary prevention of all the community

Resources Sanitary system The rest of the resources of the community

Agents of the intervention

Personnel of health Sanitary professionals together with members of the community

Evaluation It works on systems of individual and social values of difficult objectivation

It works on facts but easily measurable or at least with technology but developed in his measurement.

c) The Councils of Health so much for ill people like healthy, as for groups interested in the health, is the basic resource that uses the Naturopath in his practise daily. The councils of health are based in the scientific knowledges on the health, and that put in practises by means of the Councils of Health which supposes his more immediate contrastación. d) In the Primary Attention of the Health is where the Naturopath has his more important function, since as it defines the Glossary "the primary attention of the health is essential sanitary assistance based in methods and simple technologies, scientifically founded and socially acceptable, to a cost that the community and the country can bear". The Naturopathy fulfils with these requirements and, therefore, can participate in the primary attention of the health like Service of Support of support to the health publishes, as well as elaborating practical projects of Primary Attention of the Health realised to social level deprived or in collaboration with the respective administrations to social level publish, acting like Agent of Primary Attention of the Health; since as it defines the Glossary, and such as it collects it the Or.M.S. In his program Health for All in the year 2000, "in addition to the sanitary sector, have to be involved also other sectors related with the health". And following with the paper of the Naturopathy like Service to the Health, it is necessary to say that one of the activities that necessarily has to include the primary attention of the health, according to the Glossary, is "the Education for the health of the people and of the group of the population". In this continuous sense the Glossary "this education has to put paramount emphasis in clearing the dimensions and the nature of the problems of health prevalentes in this population and promocionar the methods of health to control these problems". Coinciding with one of the essential activities of the primary attention of the health as it is the feeding, the Naturopathy plays an important paper in the sense of the importance that has the natural feeding in the diagram salutífero of the Naturopathy, as well as keep a system of natural immunity in good conditions by means of hygienic rules-dietary, from the point of view naturopático, and supply to the population the contact with the Natural Agents of Health (water, earth, sun, air, light, sound, plants, vegetal, gymnastics, sound, dance...) To recover or keep a State Optimo of Health. The Naturopath, like professional of the health, like defensor and promoter of the health finds with sufficient elements of trial to influence in the formulation of politics of health that affect to the community to which attend. And) Once achieved the State Optimo of the Health, the Naturopath has to orient to the person so that it go adopting Healthy Lifestyles according to the guidelines naturistas-higienistas. For this the Naturopath has to take into account that, as it defines it the Glossary, " the finish lifestyle uses to designate the way to live in general, based in the interaction between the conditions of life, in his wider


117

sense, and the individual guidelines of behaviour, determined by factors socioculturales and personal characteristics". Following with the definition that, on Lifestyles, gives us the Glossary "the spectrum of guidelines of behaviour between which can opt the members of a collectivity can be limited or expanded by social and environmental factors; by this reason, the lifestyles are used to consider in the context of the individual and collective experiences, as well as in relation with the conditions of life. The lifestyles of a social group comprise a series of guidelines of behaviours determined socially and of interpretations of social situations. These guidelines are developed and used by the group like mechanism to face the problems of the life. The lifestyle of a person this composed by his usual reactions and by the guidelines of behaviours that has developed during his processes of socialisation. These guidelines learn in the relation with the parents, mates and friends and brothers, or by the influence of the school, the media... (Psychology and sociology of the health). Said guidelines of behaviour are interpreted and put to proofs continuously in the diverse social situations and, therefore, are not fixed, but they are subject to modifications". The Naturopath develops his work having very in account the lifestyle of the person and of his surroundings; in the development of the campaigns puts the emphasis in the form of life and in the inherent capacity that have all the people to change his lifestyle and the one of his society in plough of an elder Been of Health (like example of this can consult the magazine Councils to Live with Health, edit. Cedel.. Viladrau (Girona)) . In this sense the Glossary collects the vital importance that have the lifestyles to have a State Optimo of Health, quote " in the field of the promotion of the health are of vital importance so much the big influence of the lifestyles on the health, like the potential of change of said styles. The way of life of a person can give place to patterns of behaviour that are beneficial or hurtful for the health. Of the understanding of the influence of the lifestyles in the health, results evident that, if it is necessary to improve the state of health by means of the modification of said lifestyles, it is necessary to act so much on the person as on the factors of the global surroundings that influence in the lifestyles. f) In the personal and social field the Naturopath, like professional of the health, has the duty to take part to improve the Active Defence of the Health, has to influence in the decisions and acts of the communities and the governments that exert some type of control on the resources that inciden in the health. As it indicates the Glossary "exists a series of mechanisms of performance, that go from facilitating information in matter of health to the managers of the takings of decisions and promote the participation publishes in decisions of subjects related with the health, until direct attempts directed to influence in the appropriate levels of the government so that it adopt decisions that improve the state of health of the community" In promotion of the health, the plead for the health can consider like an important task of the Naturopath like professional of the health. G) The Autogestión of the Health can consider like the aim ultimo of the Naturopathy, is the stadium in that the person holds responsible of his own health and, therefore of the community. In this process can distinguish the following elements (according to definition of the Or.M.S.) * Autoasistencia. They are the activities salutíferas organised of form no official and the taking of decisions related with the health, that cover the autoaplicacion of the Natural Agents of health in the normal social context of the daily life. The autocuidados can consider like a primary resource of health. The activities of autoasistencia are a half by which the people assume a main responsibility in his own health, based in the understanding, in his own language, of what means the health, of as boost it and that measures it is necessary to take when it loses . The parallel responsibility of the Naturopath, like professional of the health, is to provide a series of services with a suitable level that increase in the population the confidence and the capacity to loan autoasistencia.


118

* Autoayuda. They are all those measures carried out by no professional to promote, keep or restore the state of health of a determinate community. Like example of autoayuda could quote the construction of a Centre naturista of Health or a Centre of personal development or a system of Recycling of rubbishes by part of the community that probably benefited of said improvements. Also it considers the autoayuda like "the no professional resources in matter of health" movilizado consciously by a community to face the problems of health; the autoayuda is but a resource that an activity. The Concept of autoayuda is important in promotion of the health put that it is the base of new form to face the problems, of self-determination and humanización in the provision of the cares of the health and the promotion of the same. * Self-esteem. The Naturopath has to favour the self-esteem of the person, that have a positive perception of his own image, since it is a generally accepted fact that a high degree of self-esteem favours a good state of mental health. Besides, it sustains that a high self-esteem provides to the person a main degree of independence that the capacita to his time to choose but freely and adopt free decisions related with the health (for example, rid of the pressure of the family). By this reason, the activities designed to reinforce the self-esteem can consider like promoters of the health. * Autofortalecimiento. It is the consequence of the personal autonomy by means of the development and the utilisation of vital skills that favour the health. It is a process conceived to restore the capacity of the taking of decisions and do that the person have confidence in his autonomy, as well as so that it purchase the necessary skills that him capacite to decide that measured take in this regard to the own health, the one of his family and the one of the community. A fundamental aim of the Naturopathy is capacitar to the person to assume the control and the responsibility of his health like an important component of his daily life, so much by means of spontaneous activities like organised in favour of the health. The autofortalecimiento is a fundamental resource to exert this control, this responsibility, and carry out these measures. 3º In the area of Naturopathy Experimental study the quantitative phenomena, laws and theories related with the susceptible Health of verificación by means of the use of different procedures and technical of observation systematise and experimentation that, in group, constitute the scientific methodology-experimental and whose results, therefore, can be expressed and analysed in shape mathematical. And we study also the qualitative phenomena, no susceptible of the experimental method, with other methods of investigation as they are: * The Descriptive Method * The Historical Method * The Method Comparatista * The Semeiotic Method * The Reflexive Method * The Method Fenomenológico To) In the Etiology of the Health, study the causes of the Health (physical, biological, psychological, environmental, sociological...) Applying the methods of investigation adapted in each moment, but incidiendo mainly in the experimental Method.

b) The Natural Agents of Health are those that exist in the Nature and apply of a natural way, that is to say, without utilisation of any chemical element or physicist to enter or take out something of the human organism, and without using any animal element (that previously it have been sacrificed) or humoral or cellular element of the human organism (nosodes). The Natural Agents of Health are, therefore, the sun, the water, the air, the earth, the light, the sound, the colours, the personal electromagnetic currents and of the nature, the foods of vegetal origin, the plants and grasses, the manual technicians, the technical psicofísicas of relaxation, creative visualisation..., the physical exercise, the mineral elements presents in the human organism; elements that, when going in in contact with the human being make possible to achieve his State Optimo of Health. c) The Knowledges on the Health go related with the aim of the investigation naturopathic that is the etiology of the health. The knowledges on the health make possible to the people, and his community, the can autogestionarse the health and to participate in the projects comunitarios directed to attain a higher degree of health (total welfare). These knowledges become of the information to which have access the population and that constitutes the cognitive base for the taking of decisions in relation with the health, the behaviours oriented to the health and the behaviours of risk. The programs directed to the promotion of the total welfare have to recognise the multidimensional nature and integradora of the health, centring but his performance in the lifestyles that on the factors and behaviours of risk. The Naturopathy, to the thread of the collected in the Glossary when it defines the concept of Knowledges On the Health " does not have to fall in the error to centre the educational attention in expanding the knowledges on the healthy behaviours and the ones of risk, with the belief that this information caused a change of attitude and in the long run also changes in the behaviour; since this approach based in the knowledges, the attitudes and the behaviour is limited and, therefore, tends to the failure. The Naturopath, in his paper of promoter of the health, has to "centre the information so much in cause them partner-environmental as in the individual behaviour and the lifestyles, and the main aim is to increase the knowledges on the spectrum of available performances to improve the state of health and facilitate genuine options and reasoned." d) As it appears collected in the Glossary "the State of Health is the way to describe and/or measure the state of health of a person, group or population with regard to norms established, with frequency by means of indicators of the state of health". The Naturopathy, from his creation, situates in a wide vision of the Health (situates a very important paradigm: The health like harmonic relation between the human being and the nature); and it does not contemplate a narrow concept of state of health as I finish descriptive related with the state of physical or biological health of a person or population, but wide his understanding including the social appearances, emotional and transpersonales and the state of health felt. The state of health that goes but there of a state asintomático calls him , in the Glossary, Positive State of Health, this refers generally to the quality of life and to the potential of the human condition. The general concepts of the positive state of health are used to to include the energy to live, the autorrealización and the creativity. A positive state of health this but related with the personal progress that with the simple resolution of problems. Although the concept of positive state of health was fundamental for the philosophy of the promotion of the health, suits to use the finish with one some cautela (op.cit.). And) The Indicators of the State of Health are susceptible variables of direct measurement that provide a measure of one or more spectrums of the level of personal health, of a community or determinate population. In the field of the Naturopathy centre but the attention in the Positive Indicators of quantifiable Health, that measure the healthy behaviours and the conditions of the global surroundings that promote the health, that in the Negative Indicators of Health. The quantification of these indicators is not always possible, since they also take part qualitative variables (object contemplated in the Naturopathy Experimental)


120

f) The Behaviour Oriented to the Health is any activity of a person, independently of his state of real health or of his own perception of the same, directed to boost, protect or keep the health, so much if said behaviour is or no objectively effective to achieve this end, here have the example of a lot of people that do vegetarians to achieve a positive state of health. This facet orientadora of the Naturopath is fundamental to make possible this traffic to a positive state of health, without damage for the personal health. G) The Behaviour Related with the Health is any behaviour or activity that forms part of the daily life of a person and influences on his state of health; these behaviours can have so much a negative influence like positive on the state of health, therefore the Naturopathy has to do upsetting in promocionar those appearances of the daily life that they are positive for the health and neutralise or reduce the intensity of those that are dangerous. The Naturopath does not focus in the concept of "culpabilización of kills it", that is to say think that the responsibility of the health and the problems of health recae mainly, if no exclusively, on the individual; but it has very in account the influence of the physical surroundings, social and economic, and the limitations that these factors impose on the healthy styles of life. h) In the section of Technicians of Takings of Decisions Headed to Improve the Health, the employment of the Naturopathy experimental is fundamental to know so much to quantitative level like qualitative the conditionings, as well as his intensity to the hour to take healthy decisions. In this study it is necessary to discover the capacities of the people and/or communities to define and discriminate, so that they can decide between a series of available options. The Naturopath has to put to disposal of the interested the sufficient information about the possible alternatives and his consequences, and besides have that the surroundings make them possible. i) The Election Saluble is the one who realise the people and/or the communities between the alternatives to his scope with regard to boosting the health. These options see limited inevitably by the global surroundings. In the Naturopathy, in his slope of promotion of the health, the central aim of study does not limit exclusively to provide to the people the knowledges of health and the technicians of taking of necessary decisions, but it supposes to offer also to the people and/or communities a wide range of possibilities between which can choose. This action has to go directed so much to the individual surroundings as to the global surroundings. In this sense the aim is to achieve that the options but healthy are also the easiest to choose. j) In the Methods of Investigation in Sciences of the Health study the distinct methods that can use and the distinct technicians that make possible a main experimental approach to the phenomenon of the health. Also we study the development of new technical and models so many theorists like practical in the boarding and understanding of the health. k) In the Experimental Models in Sciences of the Health propose us deepen in the distinct experimental designs that can realise in the field of the health, as well as develop new models and designs that make possible a better handle of the phenomena related with the health l) In the section that treats of the Salutismo and of the Professional of the Health study those appearances that are susceptible of an experimental investigation, to provide knowledges on the opinion of the population about the health and provide to the Naturopath, like professional of the health, those instruments that favour him in the realisation of his daily work. m) The Consultorio of Naturopathy is the space where the Naturopath realises his work. From the Query of Naturopathy realise all the activities directed to the Education and Promotion of the Health. The experimental Investigation goes to allow that the Query of Naturopathy develop a wide range of activities that favour the social demand that exists at present on the most natural approach of the health.


121

4º In the Naturopathy Applied study the form of application of the Natural Agents of Health, taking into account all the knowledges about the human nature and his surroundings. The modules that study and apply, in this area are the following: To) In the Naturopathy Alimentary study the influence of the feeding in the human health, putting the emphasis in the natural feeding. His study covers the nutrition, the trofología, the dietohigiene, the bromatología and the gastronomy b) In the Naturopathy Fitocomplementaria study the application of the vegetables to keep or recover the health. Here we do a difference between the application of the medicinal plants from the point of view of the medicine, from the point of view of the homoeopathy, from the magic point of view, and from the point of view naturopatico. In the Naturopathy put the emphasis in the utilisation of the plants like complementos in the Program Naturistas, that is to say like coadyuvante in the drainage, in the reequilibramiento and the maintenance of the organic functions, and no to suppress signs or symptoms. For his correct application study the general botanist, vegetal taxonomy, photochemical and fitohigiene (use east finish to differentiate it of fitoterapia like application sintomática of the medicinal plants) c) In the Natural Stimuli studies the application of the water, the sun, the earth and the air to achieve a State Optimo of Health, keep it and increase it. d) In the Naturopathy Manual studies all the technicians in which it use , like basic element, the hands; and here it develops , for example, the study of the quiropraxia, kinesiología, quiromasaje, reflexology, digitopuntura, lymphatic drainage etc... And) In the Naturopathy Sensory study the application of those elements that act on the senses as they are the music, the colour, the aromas and the writing. f) In the Naturopathy Functional study the application of those elements that act to levels of the organic function (enzymatic), as they are the oligoelementos, the biological salts, the minerals (stones), and that use to infinitesimal doses. G) In The Naturopathy Energetic study the application of the energetic elements that has the person (individual) and those that possesses the nature. Here we study what is the geobiológica, the energetic channels of the human being, magnetism... h) In the Naturopathy Psicofísica study the application of the elements that possesses the human being to achieve the optimum state of health, here work with, for example, the relaxation, the biorrespiración, creative visualisation...Etc. i) In the Semiology Naturopathic studies all those signs that go us to indicate the state of health of a person. In this field use the iridiología, quirología, graphology, fisiognomía..., and all that technology that do not enter or extract any substance in the human organism, by chemical means or physicists. The Semiology Naturopathic constitutes a basic element to do a qualitative evaluation of the state of health of a person, at the same time that it is a coadyuvante in the evaluation of the Indicators of the State of Health. 5º In the Naturopathy Fundamental investigate the foundations of the Naturopathy, in this area study the Philosophy Naturista, like frame of reflection naturista and of gestation of the Naturopathy; the Methodology and Theory of the Naturopathy like elements that base the Naturopathy like autonomous discipline; the History of the Naturopathy like fundamental support to comprise the development and evolution of this discipline; and the Didactic of the Naturopathy like element of education of this discipline and training of the Naturopaths, at the same time that of investigation of new didactic models of the Naturopathy.

PREAMBULO


182

Like professional entity of Naturopathy in Spain, the School Organisation Naturopathic FENACO, keeps that the Naturopaths that work in the area of the Natural Health offer to the person, family, community and environment some specific services. Likewise, FENACO is responsible to define the standard – norms – that guide the behaviours of the practice of the Naturopathy, as half to ensure the quality of the service naturopático that offers to the people.

The changes become in the social patterns, cultural, economic and ecological, in our country in the last decades, have generated transformations in the lifestyles, the environmental conditions, values and beliefs, that have influenced negatively in the level of health of the population. The industrial development, the high index of unemployment, the stress, the sedentarism, amongst other factors triggers, are propiciando the increase and the apparition of problems of health, favoured by the new habits.

To face up to these situations, the human beings are adapting us continuously to the changes of the half external and internal. The factors of the external environment that they can influence in the operation of the human body are of diverse índole: chemists, physicists, biological, psychosocial, etc., existing mechanisms of defence that protect to the people of the factors mentioned. But these, no always are effective, breaking the dynamic balance of the person, appearing the RNB like adaptative phenomenon and / or compensatory

To give answer to the needs that in matter of health present the users/clients (consultantes), is precise to schedule properly and put in practice the Services of Naturopathy, with a base of knowledges, no only of the people and of the relative factors to the health, but also of the problems of health.

The profession Naturopathic, through the history, has characterised by his capacity to answer to the changes that the society has gone experienced and consistently, to the natural needs of health that the population has gone suing.

The Naturopathy finds in the actuality in some moments of big social importance had to mainly to two factors: by a the side the research of a quality of life having like reference the environmental factors and by another the every time main knowledge of the phenomena of the health that does that the person go leaving to be a passive agent in the process of health to turn into his protagonist, that is to say the people go giving account that the health is something but that absence of illness.

Thus, the training in Naturopathy inside the professional curriculum of the Sciences of the Health and Sociosanitarias, because of the social demand and of the surroundings, is the first step for the development of qualified professionals to loan Services of quality to the people that sue it.

The Naturopathy involves the integration of the practice, the investigation, the education and the professionalism.

The practice comprises the have a conversation, the catástasis (EES), and the calobiosis of the human answer to the problems of health perceived, real or potential, physicists, emotional, ecological, psychosocial or transpersonales .

The investigation is the discovery and the verificación of knowledge in base to the cual can advance the knowledge of the Naturopathy.


183

The education engloba the training continued of one same and the education of the consultantes: person, family, community and environment.

The professionalism (responsibility, autonomy, authority and leadership) contributes to the growth of the Naturopathy, to the training and maintenance of relations interprofesionales.

We could define the Naturopathy with the following billed:

þ The Naturopathy is Art and Science of the Health in his natural dimension. It is descriptive science, normative theory, realisation practises.

þ The Naturopathy is a Science of the Health beside the other sciences of the health -academically

recognised- (medicine, DUE, estomatología, podiatry, physiotherapy, dietary and human feeding...), although distinguishing of them for giving a character prioritario to the Health in his Natural dimension and, therefore, forming group aside.

þ The Naturopathy is one of the Sciences of the Health that occupies of the natural appearance of the

health.

þ The Naturopathy is Science and Art of the Health in his Natural dimension. True and systematic knowledge of the essence, properties and relations of the Health in his natural field.

þ It conceives to the Naturopathy like the theory and praxis of the Natural Health. þ The Naturopathy is the study of the health in what natural fact. þ The Naturopathy is ancient art, new science. þ Systematic group of truths showed about the Health in his Natural dimension. þ The Naturopathy is the science and the technician of the Health in his Natural field. þ The Naturopathy is a Science of the Health þ The Naturopathy is a rational command and disciplinable, with scientific pretence. þ The Naturopathy is science, technology, praxilogia...The Naturopathy has a scientific dimension-

philosophical (fundamental), a technological dimension (mediadora) and a dimension praxiologica (aplicativa).

We could define the services of Naturopathy like the have a conversation, the EES and the modulation, of problems of health felt, physicists, emotional or psychosocial . These problems can require attention with Natural Methods of Health, education of the consultante, and knowledge of the legal implications.

By his part, the Naturopaths, are the professionals of Naturopathy that are involved in concrete fields inside the Sciences of the Health and Sociosanitarias.


184

The majority of the groups that constitute in area of knowledge characterise by:

• Have a formal object of study • An aim of the investigation • A methodological aim • A technology • A praxiología.

In addition to they characterise by:

• Specific corporal system. • I process health of specific intervention. • Surroundings of the specific services. • Specific population.

The Naturopathy interacts all these specificities. It includes a corpus doctrinario, the offer of services that covers from the education for the health and the promotion of the health to the destined interventions to the quality of life. It has a conversation , it values, it schedules, it executes and they evaluate the services to people of all the ages, family, community and environment, that require from basic training in autogestión of the health (Quality of Life) until measures of intervention Naturopathic. The practice of the Naturopathy has a character pluridimensional, since it carries out beside other professional groups: doctors, psychologists, technicians, auxiliaries, associations and institutions. Inside this role, the Naturopaths communicate , relate and share resources, information, investigation, teaching, technology and experiences.

Standards for the practical Naturopathic


185

Regarding the exercise of the Naturopathy , by competitions has to understand the necessary specific qualifications for the professional exercise. 2. In this field, the competitions define like the individual characteristics (knowledges, skills and attitudes) that allow to a person exert his activity of autonomous form, perfect permanently his practice and adapt to a half in constant transformation. 3. The acquisition of the knowledges, skills and attitudes required realises in the frame of a training with a determinate minimum length and with a specific content of the profession. 4. The competitions purchased to the term of the training vary. The exercise of the profession demands that the Naturopath go in in a process of permanent development, of put to the personal day and that have a capacity of evolution to end to put to the day his knowledges, to be able to adopt decisions, and even, to enter changes in the professional field. 5. The question of the competitions poses some questions that have to treat the breast of the organs of decision. The program of studies has to make respecting said decisions. The salient points are related, in particular, with the selection of candidates that possess the capacities and the necessary previous training to follow this program of studies. The level of selection and the level of training constitute the most important factors to achieve the level of competition of a fully qualified professional and that has obtained his title recently, therefore, in the long run, of the level of competitions of the qualified personnel. 6.

Report FENACO on the Decree of the “natural therapies” of Catalonia


222

Arguments by which the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January, by which regulate the conditions for the exercise of determinate Natural Therapies is questionable his lawfulness.

INTRODUCCION.

The Law 13/1989, of 14 December, of organisation, procedure and juridical diet of the

administration of the Generality of Catalonia, in his articulate 61 awards “Lto statutory authority

of the administration of the Generality will correspond to the Government. Nevertheless, each adviser

will be able to dictate disposals in matter of organisation of his department. Also it will be able to

dictate regulations if disposals with rank of law enable him to this.”

And in Article 67, of this same Law specifies that: “Before it was approved a general disposal by the

Government, or, if it proceeds, by an adviser, the competent organ will be able to subject to

verificación, in the term and with the means that the same organ have, the virtualidad practises of his

precepts, with the purpose to check the adecuación of the content of the disposal to the aims that

pursue, his possible disfuncionalidades and the guarantees of his effective fulfillment.”

We understand that it has not fulfilled the collected in east articulate 67 in the following: FIRST.- In the articulate 125 Of the Statute of autonomy of Catalonia on Corporations of Right

Publish and Professions Titled, only collects competitions on Corporations of Rights Publish and

Professions Titled; the Naturopathy, in these moments is not contemplated like profession titled.

In the point 4 of east articulate collects , “Corresponds to the Generalitat, respecting the general

norms on academic and professional degrees and the had in the articles 36 and 139 of the

Constitution, the exclusive competition on the exercise of the professions titled, that includes anyway:

to) The determination of the requirements and the conditions of the exerted of the professions titled,

and also of the rights and the obligations of the professions titled and of the diet of incompatibilities.

b) The regulation of the administrative guarantees in front of the intrusismo and the irregular

performances, and also the regulation of the professional provision of compulsory character. c)The

disciplinary diet of the exercise of the professions titled”

As it can observe the drafted refers exclusively to professions titled, and reiterate the

Naturopathy still is not a profession titled, therefore the Decree does not have regulatory capacity of

a profession, leaving the competitions on the juridical diet of the Professional Schools and the exercise

of the professions titled for the Constitution in his Article 36 “The law will regulate the own

peculiarities of the juridical diet of the Professional Schools and the exercise of the professions titled.

The internal structure and the operation of the Schools will have to be democratic.”


223

SEGUNDO.- In the articulate 131 Of the Statute of autonomy of Catalonia on Education, collect

the exclusive competitions on the educations posobligatorias that do not drive to the obtaining of a

title or an academic or professional certification with validity in all the State. In this case the

educations of Naturopathy are not established like education neither university neither no

university, neither neither established like compulsory education neither no compulsory; like this

then , according to this articulated, the collected in the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January lacks the

sufficient competitions to regulate an academic degree or a degree postobligatoria of Naturopathy,

when they still are not established said educations like compulsory.

•Regarding the professions titled, the competitions are attributed to the State by the article 149.1.30.To of the Constitution, on regulation of the conditions for the obtaining of academic and professional titles, and in accordance with the established in the third final disposal of the Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, of Universities, corresponds to the Government the establishment of the university titles of official character and validity in all the national territory. •And regarding the professional Certification. The articulate 30 of the Organic Law 2/2006, of 3 May, of Education collects : “2. The aim of the programs of professional qualification initial is that all the students achieve own professional competitions of a qualification of level one of the current structure of the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications created by the Law 5/2002, of 19 June, of the Qualifications and of the Professional Training, as well as that have the possibility of an insertion sociolaboral satisfactory and expand his basic competitions to continue studies in the different educations.”. And in these moments neither exists in the quoted catalog the profession, activity or occupation of Naturopathy, although from FENACO already have requested the start of the procedure, that is to say first has to be included in the Catalog National of Professional Qualifications, to be able to be issued the corresponding professional certificate. •And regarding the professional training, in the quoted Law, in the Capitulate V on thef ormación professional, in his articulate 39.4. It collects “The formative cycles will be of half degree and of upper degree, will be referred to the National Catalogue of Professional Qualifications and will constitute, respectively, the professional training of half degree and the professional training of upper degree. The curriculum of these educations will adjust to the exigencias derivative of the National System of Qualifications and Professional Training..” And we go back to insist the Naturopathy neither finds still collected in said Catalog. Besides in the point 6 of this same articulate establishes that “The Government, previous query to the Autonomous Communities, will establish the corresponding degrees to the studies of professional training, as well as the basic appearances of the curriculum of each one of them”. And in these moments the Government still has not established the


224

corresponding degrees to the profession of Naturopathy, therefore the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January lacks competitions to contemplate the professional formative regulation.

In the point 2 of the quoted articulate 131 of the Statute of autonomy, specify the

competitions in matter of education no university, in regard to the compulsory educations and no

compulsory that drive to the obtaining of a title academic or professional with validity in all the State

and in regard to the educations of childish education. And the Naturopathy, in these moments is not

contemplated like educations no university neither compulsory neither no compulsory ( such as it

refers PRAISE it on compulsory educations and no compulsory), like this as the drafted of the Decree

does not adjust to the right.

In any case in the following sections, of east articulate 131, specifies the competitions:

To) The regulation of the organs of participation and query of the sectors affected in the programming

of the education in his territory.

b) The determination of the educational contents of the first cycle of the childish education and the

regulation of the centres in that it gives these cycles, and also the definition of the staff of the

profesorado and of the degrees and the specialisations of the rest of the personnel.

c) The creation, the organisational development and the diet of the public centres

d) The inspection, the internal evaluation of the educational system, the innovation, the investigation

and the educational experimentation also the guarantees of equality of the educational system

And) The diet of promotion of the study, of scholarships and of helps with own bottoms.

f) The permanent training and the improvement of the educational personnel and of other

professionals of the education and the approval of the guidelines of performance in matter of human

resources.

G) The educational services and the activities extraescolares complementary in regard to the

educational centres publics and the educational centres deprived sustained with public funds

h) The organisational appearances of the educations in diet no face-to-face directed to the alumnado

of upper age to the escolarización compulsory.

In the same articulate 131 also collect the competitions shared (3),

b) The ordenación of the sector of the education and of the educational and educational activity


225

c) The establishment of the plans of corresponding studies, including here the ordenación curricular.

According to the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January, that receives to east articulate for his

development, collects in his articulated the finish “Guias of Evaluation”. In the Articulate 19 Guias of

evaluation of the competitions 19.1. It says “it Corresponds to elaborate to the Institute of Studies of

the Health, for each one of the natural therapies object of this Decree, the proposal of guide of

evaluation of competitions. These guides include the program recognised by the Department of Health

to the effects of recognition of the mentioned competitions in natural therapies and of his system of

evaluation”; that is to say Plans of Studies and ordenación curricular; and as it contemplates in the

articulate 131 of the Statute of autonomy, this is a competition shared; and still to level of the State

have not established the design curricular of the Naturopathy.

d) The requirements and the conditions of the educational and educational centres

In the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January collects in the articulate 22 on the Requirements of the

centres. “To give training in natural therapies has to have of permission by part of the Institute of

Studies of the Health...”.

Here the content of the Decree attributes competitions of which carece, according to the

articulate that we are seeing, the separated g) is a competencial shared, and besides the Institute of

Studies of the Health, as the collected in the Decree 41/1982, of 22 February, of structuring of the IES,

the Law 15/1990 of 9 July, of Ordenación Sanitary of Catalonia and the decree 324/190 , of 21

December, of structure, organisation and diet of operation of the IES. It does not contemplate the

competitions of Permission for formative centres publics, private, concerted, sanitary or no sanitary.

The collected in Law 15/1990 of 9 July, of Ordenación Sanitary of Catalonia with respect to

the competitions of the Institute of Studies of the Health is clear and conclusive:

Article 70. Nature.

1. The Institute of Studies of the Health will be the organism of support to the departments of the

Generality and to the Catalan Service of the Health in matter of training and investigation in sciences

of the health.

2. Said institute will configure like an autonomous organism official of the Generality of Catalonia,

ascribed to the department of health and social security.

3. The structure, organisation and diet of operation of the Institute of Studies of the Health will have to

establish by decree of the executive council, that will have to guarantee the participation of the

different departments of the Generality and the organisms and public institutions involved in the field

object of the activity of the institute inside his organs.


226

4. The Institute of Studies of the Health will have to explain, anyway, with a board of Government and

a director, that will be appointed by decree of the executive council, to proposal of the Adviser of

Health and Social Security.

Article 71. Functions.

1. It will correspond to the Institute of Studies of the Health, without prejudice to the competitions

attributed to other organs of the Generality and entities, the development of the following functions:

a.Asesorar In the fixation of the politics of investigation and in the establishment of priorities

regarding investigation in matter of health.

b.Carry out or coordinate, if it proceeds, programs of investigation and study in sciences of the

health.

c. Schedule and promote the investigation in relation to the problems and needs of health of the

population of Catalonia. To such end, the Institute of Studies of the Health will have to

promote programs of training to cover the needs of investigation.

d.Form, recycle and perfect of way continued to the sanitary professionals and no sanitary of the

field of the health and of the management and the sanitary administration from an

interdisciplinary perspective. Said function will have to tend to develop

descentralizadamente, approximating his activities to the places of work.

e. Asesorar To the departments of the Generality and to the Catalan Service of the Health in all

those subjects that are him consulted.

2. The Institute of Studies of the Health will have to develop his functions in collaboration with the

Catalan universities and other educational institutions and entities with competitions in these matters,

with the purpose to optimise the training of pregrado and postgrado of all the professionals of the

health.

In the same articulate 131 also collect the executive competitions (4),

“ It corresponds to the Generalitat in matter of education no university, the executive competition on

the expedition and homologation of the academic titles and state professionals”.

As it contemplates the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January, the award a species of Accreditation –

Degree of a title academic or professional still no existent as it is the one of the profession of

Naturopathy, is a contradiction.


227

TERCERO.- . In the articulate 162 Of the Statute of autonomy of Catalonia on Health, Public

health, Ordenación pharmaceutical and pharmaceutical products, collects like exclusive competitions:

the organisation, the internal operation, the evaluation, the inspection and the control of centres,

services and sanitary establishments.

According to the drafted of the Law 44/2003, of 21 November, of ordenación of the sanitary

professions, no this contemplated the Naturopathy like sanitary profession; therefore before

proceeding by means of Decree, to that .. “The establishments of practice of natural therapies are

subjects to the formality of previous permission by part of the Department of Health” is logical to

create first by means of Law the profession of Naturopathy, like sanitary profession, so that it

was of application the articulate 162 (1) of the Statute of autonomy, independently of the competitions

in matter of salubridad and hygiene of establishments and local.

And in the competitions shared, neither collect the capacity that awards the Decree 31/2007 of

30 January for the creation and regulation of professions of sanitary character.

c) The planning of the sanitary resources of public coverage and the coordination of the private

sanitary activities with the sanitary system public. d) The skilled sanitary training, that includes the

accreditation and the evaluation of centres; the planning of the offer of squares; the participation in

the preparation of the announcements and the management of the programs of training of the

specialists and the areas of specific qualification and the expedition of diplomas of areas of specific

qualification.

d) The statutory diet and the training of the personnel that loans services in the sanitary system public.

4. The Generalitat participates in the planning and the state coordination in matter of health and

public health, in accordance with the established in the title V.

And in the executive competitions, only contemplates :

5. It corresponds to the Generalitat the executive competition of the state legislation in matters of

pharmaceutical products.

Therefore, the regulation contained in the Decree 31/2007 of 30 January, by which

regulate the conditions for the exercise of determinate Natural Therapies lacks juridical

foundation according to the competitions collected in the articulate 125, 131 and 162, of the

Statute of autonomy, the collected in this regard in the Organic Law 2/2006, of 3 May, of

Education, the Organic Law 5/2002, of 19 June, of the Qualifications and of the Professional


228

Training, Organic Law 6/2001, of 21 December, of Universities, and the Law 44/2003, of 21

November, of Ordenación of the Sanitary Professions. In addition to infringir the articulate 67 of

the Law 13/1989, of 14 December, of organisation, procedure and juridical diet of the

administration of the Generality of Catalonia.

Swearing Naturopático


229

CONSIDERATIONS
