Even when children die, naturopaths refuse to blame each other

...therapeutic window - as it happened here. Since this is part of naturopathic medicine it is engraved in the trade. (c) In my experience, naturopaths tend to involve the patient far more than the patient can reasonably be involved. Recently I have read the sentence in a homeopathy blog, written by a ND which amounted that it is the patients choice to decide whether homeopathy works or not. I was aghast. A patient can never...

There are plenty...but they go off that deep end on their own. Our training doesn't include and integrate quackery into the curriculum. RR strange though... no NDs on the board, only MDs Thomas Mohr Having an MD does not prevent you from exercising pseudoscience. David so what happened with this hearing? Did the naturopaths...

Finding Cancer as a Young Naturopathic Doctor

...You're delusional, the World Health Organization has concluded that acupuncture is much more effective than pharmaceuticals for chronic pain for example. You really love bashing homeopathy I can see which you think is your ace in the hole lol Well chap, even MDs use homeopathy around the world so there must be some benefit otherwise why would they want to alienate themselves. Wake up, the medical world doesnt just include Western doctors. "Which is why...

Naturopathic “doctors” in California

...it bathes the body in nutrients and can act as a jumpstart to the healing process. Sometimes it is necessary to jumpstart the healing process to give the body enough nutrients to allow it to restore balance. Homeopathy Homeopathy treats symptom expression using minute amounts of natural substances (plant, animal, mineral) to stimulate the body and cellular metabolism to correct its imbalance. These natural substances, if given in larger doses, can create the same symptoms...

The Morality of Practicing Medicine and the Licensed Naturopath

...my 15 years of university from basic science to clinical. What do homeopathy do? An online course for a few mknths or year? And they have the gall to say they have studied the real causes of diseases. The government should censor these people. David Please explain how doctors are linked closely to big pharma. How do doctors profit from prescribing medicine. (Unlike naturopaths and homeopathy who unethically make money off their prescriptions) David https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=bgxzSUxxRzE...

Naturopathic medicine has too much quackery

...on cancer The reason that people get cancer in the United States and the reason that we have completely lousy outcomes is because medical doctors are driving the research bus. Research funds should be spent on homeopathy and naturopathy. I think the quack-o-meter is hitting 11. I mean, 1100. The sad reality is that Glidden’s ideas are characteristic of the naturopathic belief system. This is especially true for NDs who treat cancer. To a certain extent, all NDs...

On Notice

...on the way home. I helped arrange the vaccination appointment at a local pharmacy and dispensed a homeopathic remedy. The only way I could convince the patient to get vaccinated was to recommend the homeopathic remedy Thuja, which is a common remedy prescribed by naturopaths for adverse vaccine reactions. When the patient outright refused to get vaccinated, I came up with the idea of using homeopathy to relax the patient’s fears. I told this patient,...

A psoriasis story

...still don't know why. But, like you, I had an encounter with a grouchy dermatologist, which led me to believe I could find better answers. I tried all sorts of nonsense and I'm just thankful my skin didn't accidentally get better as I was trying that stuff, or I might have credited it. My skepticism with the non-scientific, such as homeopathy, developed slowly after I had kids. I interacted with a lot of moms who...

A toddler dies from meningitis, governments need to block naturopathic pediatrics

...has to answer is: Is it life threatening ? If not -> does it require referal to a hospital or a specialist ? However, the problem with naturopathy is that the entire philosophy is severely flawed. Take for instance one fundamental claim: Naturopathy cures causes, convetnional medicine quenches symptoms. (Textbook of Naturopathy, I am sure you know that). Nothing is more wrong. Take f.i. homeopathy. Homeopathy ignores the entire field of differential diagnosis (i.e. differentiating...

Is your naturopathic “doctor” talking about you on the Internet?

...more about naturopathy than you. Firstly the denial of pseudoscience in naturopathy seems common among naturopaths. See (http://skepdic.com/comments/natpathcom.html) As you can see naturopaths are good at claiming that they practice science-based medicine but they don't all. Only some, That some does not include you, cam. You are not science-based. I have seen your pseudoscience comments on how you will treat patients. Less pseudoscience than homeopathy but still pseudoscience like boosting the immune system. (http://www.abc.net.au/health/features/stories/2015/07/22/4277927.htm) Seriously...
