To say there is no evidence beyond placebo for any of the plant based medicines, nutritional approaches, lifestyle support and natural therapies used by NDs is just ignorant. Are you in practice or involved in medical research? If not try spending some time with the literature.

Straw men. No one says that lifestyle changes are useless. No one says that pharmacognosy (the study of natural products) is without merit. Naturopathy, however, combines a little science with a whole lot of pseudoscience and quackery, including homeopathy.

Not a straw man. These therapies are not utilized to anyway near a proper extent in conventional allopathic care as it is actually practiced ( as opposed to taught and theorized).

Not true (for example, diet and lifestyle modification is literally the first approach for type 2 diabetics before drugs in therapeutics)

I see to recall mentioning a caveat that my statement concerned real life, as opposed to theoretical standards of care and so forth.

I can confirm that for Germany. Diet and lifestyle are always addressed first when treating diabetes.

"Allopathic." Sigh. When you see that term, you can guess all that will follow.... Also, even if prevention not addressed enough by science-based practitioners (could always be better) this is obviously not a justification for the "integration" of magical thinking.pic.twitter.com/KIMAIfytjD

The positive evidence in favor of those interventions would be that justification Tim, significantly outweighing their appearance within the allopathic worldview. Not that I expect an honest discourse from you on the evidence mind you. But still.

You are a naturopath promoting "homeopathy detoxification therapy" for autism... So, not sure how far this "honest discourse" about evidence can progress. cc

Whoa. Homeopathy for autism. That's some serious quackery.

It’s very popular here in Calgary unfortunately. I’d even venture to say mainstreamed in to the support culture for families which keeps me a busy advocate for evidence based practices
