...her specialization so that she could analyze the changes in my hormones during my cycle. Britt was trying to do the same thing but without the benefit of that education or experience. Instead of using medications that truly do alter hormones by working directly with them, she was trying to achieve the same results with food and herbs, even homeopathy. For other conditions and diseases, there is a vast body of scientific literature to explain...

Is dubious cancer “doctor” Colleen Huber cybersquatting my name?

...In other words, to allow naturopaths to get away with using dubious, dangerous, or outright bogus therapies on patients. For example, in February 2015, ANRI/NORI approved a study investigating the effects of various therapies including fish oil, homeopathy, low-dose naltrexone, and “frequency specific micro-current” for a spectrum of neurological disorders. In the meeting’s minutes covering the approval of this study, there was no discussion of a specific research design or hypothesis. Yet ANRI/NORI members unanimously...

New York state of mind and naturopathic nonsense

...The current president of the NYANP is Peter Bongiorno. I first met Bongiorno at an American Association of Naturopathic Physicians conference in 2010 where he lectured on using natural remedies, including supplements and homeopathy, to treat mental illness. Since then, Bongiorno has branded himself as a naturopathic mental health specialist who holds secret knowledge about treating anxiety and depression naturally. I still have my notes from his AANP talk titled “Natural Healing for Depression.” In...

...profession to lawmakers. Naturopaths use a cornucopia of pseudoscientific methods in clinical practice that have been disproven by the scientific and medical communities or not shown to be plausible. These include homeopathy, herbal medicine, dietary supplements, saliva testing, bio-identical hormone replacement, blood allergy testing, applied kinesiology, and intravenous therapies of high-dose vitamins, minerals, ozone gas, and hydrogen peroxide. They also mis-characterize any plausible mechanisms by which these treatments could work and the evidence supporting safety...

Naturopathic Student’s Guide

...significantly less clinical training than medical students. The naturopathic curriculum emphasizes branches of alternative medicine that have been debunked (i.e. homeopathy, energy healing), are unproven (i.e. botanical therapies), and are dangerous (i.e. ozone therapy). The basic science courses taught in naturopathic schools are entry-level courses and not on-par with the rigorous science-based courses taught in medical schools. The naturopathic licensing exam is drastically different from the medical licensing exam. Like the naturopathic curriculum, it emphasizes...

I am deeply troubled that she discusses her plans to experiment with weaning patients off of “hard-core drugs” — and I don’t think she means heroin or crystal meth. Her attitude towards prescription medications indicates she might not understand or respect the medical treatments she hopes to usurp. She fails to mention...

In fact, big chunks of naturopathy (homeopathy and TCM e.g.) do not even need a correct diagnosis. Homeopathy is entirely symptom driven and TCM relies on a system that is plainly not existent. Aside that, treating a disease by eliminating the cause of the disease after...
