Pubmed.gov “Vis Medicatrix Naturae” – Results, 2020

here, the first seven results of a search for "vis medicatrix" at PubMed by relevance.  I spend a lot of time indexing naturopaths' reference to VMN [and kind], as it is their central principle.  Notice, though, how archaic the term is in terms of the years below, generally speaking.  The APA reference is below the default PubMed format and number 3 caught my eye:

1. "Vis medicatrix naturæ. Findlay W. Glasgow Med J. 1901 Nov;56(5):375-377. PMID: 30436355":

2. "Vis medicatrix naturae. McNutt WF. Cal State J Med. 1923 Dec;21(12):510-1. PMID: 18739163":

3. "Vis medicatrix naturae: Does nature 'minister to the mind'? Logan AC, Selhub EM. Biopsychosoc Med. 2012 Apr 3;6(1):11. doi: 10.1186/1751-0759-6-11. PMID: 22472137":

Logan is a naturopath of this here modern era.  And he co-writes: "the healing power of nature - vis medicatrix naturae - is an ancient medical principle that includes reference to the innate ability of the body to heal itself."  Nowhere in the article is vitalism mentioned, which is that "ancient medical principle."  So, a great example of coding vitalism: the science-ejected idea that dare not be mentioned expressedly.  He is a CCNM graduate, and here [p.64] is where CCNM is specific about that vitalism as VMN.
