CTCA: The Cancer Treatment Charade of America? Profiting on Alternative Medicine

...CathyC Can her family sue? Or do they have a snowballs chance? I bet she signed many significant forms that prevent her family from taking legal action. Travis Thanks for sharing naturocrit A CTCA page on naturopathy http://www.cancercenter.com/western/integrative-oncology-services/naturopathic-medicine/ states naturopathy is: "based on scientific research [...as] the safe and effective use of evidence-based natural therapies [...] evidence-based naturopathic recommendations" and then tells us homeopathy is in the arsenal.

What is naturopathic medicine?

...world with a healing paradigm founded on a rational balance of tradition, science and respect for nature. Because naturopathic physicians believe in understanding patients from the cellular level up, they actively pursue the latest biochemical findings relating to the workings of the body and the dynamics of botanical medicines, nutrition, homeopathy and other natural therapies. Their diagnoses and therapeutics are increasingly supported by scientific evidence. Lies like these are duping patients, students, and lawmakers into...

The “pH Miracle Diet” naturopath is guilty, but California still has a problem

...here is an example of one California naturopathic clinic advertising intravenous baking soda, plus a slew of other dubious treatments, such as high-dose vitamin C, homeopathy, and chelation therapy. In Arizona, it is even more hairy. Colleen Huber, a prominent naturopathic “oncologist” in Phoenix, is a big proponent of using intravenous baking soda to treat cancer. Her practice site and the site for the IRB she runs are good reads if you want to learn...

...that also have beliefs that contradict both reality and their own systems of "medicine" * are somehow curing the "underlying" cause of disease. I hope you answer the question regarding vaccine risk in detail *chiropractic, homeopathy AND acupuncture?

...are almost entirely taught by other naturopaths or other practitioners of alternative medicine, such as doctors of naprapathy. The pediatrics courses assign reading from anti-vaccine authors, like Bob Sears, and overall the reading load seems quite low for what would be expected from MD and DO students. The accredited naturopathic curriculum also includes a large amount of pure pseudoscience, with the most glaring examples being three quarters spent on homeopathy, but also many quarters in...

Naturopathic pediatrics is not safe

...A serious concern with this course syllabus is the book list. Current and Nelson’s Pediatrics are considered standard texts, but these were not even required to read in order to do well in the course. I didn’t buy either book and didn’t complete any of the assigned readings but passed with flying colors. It should be appalling for anyone to see Dana Ullman’s Homeopathy for Children and Infants and Dr. Bob Sears’s The Vaccine Book,...

As a doctor, I became the one with whom your patient was cheating. I was the “other” primary care doctor you did not know about.

In 2016, the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians received over a quarter of a million dollars in donations, mainly from companies selling a wide range of dubious products, from homeopathy to herbal extracts for intravenous injection. The money was used to hire two marketing experts to improve the public image of the profession...
