Homeopaths don't learn nutrition in medical school, and what they learn of nutrition in homeopathy or naturopathy schools is laced with quackery and pseudoscience.

I agree that homeopaths don’t attend medical school. But homeopathic and naturopathic doctors, who are licensed in many states, do have nutrition classes as part of their training. Only about 25% of US med schools offer a nutrition class. So who is better trained in nutrition?

MDs and DOs can be licensed as homeopathic doctors in some US states. I would not agree that anyone should consult with any unlicensed practitioner. There are good and bad practitioners in every profession. Not all NDs engage in "quackery", and not all MDs are competent.

All NDs learn homeopathy, which is quackery. All NDs practice quackery. The vast majority of NDs are antivaccine. I have yet to find one that doesn't include quackery in his or her practice.

So you are on record as stating that all licensed naturopathic doctors are quacks.

I think your comment is grossly unfair and not fact based because it encompasses every licensed ND who helps patients with evidence based therapies. The ND who helped save my life just educated me and helped me lose weight and didn't do any of the crazy things you allege.pic.twitter.com/pnDmsscPXX

just because they didn’t use quackery on you doesn’t mean they weren’t trained in quackery. It’s a 100% accurate statement.

Precisely. For instance, does the naturopath offer homeopathy (the vast majority of them so)? "Detoxification"? Ozone therapy? Intravenous vitamins? Chelation therapy? All of those are quackery, and all naturopaths offer one or more of these modalities or other quackery.

I see, so you have amended your position from "all" to "vast majority"?
