NUHS: an unlawful but accredited naturopathic program?

...from medical doctors legally. Why not do some real research, instead of believing a blog to fulfill your predetermined notion. Chronic Lyme Cult Awareness Homeopathy is snake oil and quackery. That school teaches homeopathy. Your promotion of the school by the transitive property means your spreading propaganda for snake oil and quackery.

It’s difficult for naturopathy schools to back away from these statements when they require their students to demonstrate clinical proficiency in homeopathy. Here is an example from National University of Natural Medicine’s clinical training requirements, which instructs students to use homeopathy in six conditions on patients that range from cardiovascular disease to psychological disorders: Given this propaganda supporting magical thinking and the extensive training naturopaths receive in homeopathy,...

ND Confession, Part 1: Naturopathic clinical training inside and out

...homeopathy. Having practiced naturopathic medicine for the last 11 years, I have been consistently awed by the power of homeopathy. It is not the fault of homeopathy that science has not yet figured out how it works. Bastyr does a hideous job of teaching it. But, if you are earnest, you will be able to learn it nonetheless. Best wishes! A Thank you :) Dorothea Cist Dear A, Bill Maher recently quoted Stephen Hawking as...

The fact is however that all colleges in theUS (including Bastyr) which offer degree programs in naturopathy include homeopathy as a core component of their curriculum,; that the naturopathix NPLEX exam includes sections requiring those seeking licensing demonstrate their mastery of homeopathy; that every state naturopathic organization I'm aware of explicitly embraces homeopathy as a valid health...

Honestly, I'm not sure how homeopathy became part of the standard naturopathic curriculum, but as the SBM folks love to point out, it certainly is the bane of the profession. I am very sorry to hear that you have encountered those types of ignorant attitudes regarding your cancer diagnosis. I can assure you that it is certainly not taught in...

It is illogical and risky to practice primary care medicine after four years of classes, two years of minimal patient contact hours in a non-hospital setting, and no clinical experience in urgent care or emergency medicine. Yet, this is exactly what happens. Naturopaths graduate from school, pass a licensing exam that includes questions in homeopathy, and then set-up shop to diagnose and treat patients. In my opinion, the education and...
