The association with homeopathic principles, even remotely has lead to ridicule and devaluation for some valid areas of research, such as hormesis, leading to plea by their followers that hormesis is not to be confused with homeopathy.

Naturopaths are Homeopaths

...handout on homeopathy titled “What is Homeopathy?” This is the first sentence of Bastyr’s homeopathy patient handout: “Homeopathy is a scientific method of cure, which follows laws based on far reaching holistic philosophy.” The patient is deceived with the first seven words alone of the “What is Homeopathy?” handout. Homeopathy is not a scientific method of cure. The mere suggestion that homeopathy can cure anything is ludicrous and misleading, which is a failure to provide...
