But you apparently don't agree that what homeopaths learn about nutrition in homeopathy and naturopathy schools is laced with pseudoscience and quackery? Maybe @NaturoDiaries can educate you.

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

Eric, your eight loss is a great success story and should be celebrated. Helping someone lose weight does not require any training in medicine or naturopathy however. Many people without any formal training in nutrition/weight loss do this well. Most is public knowledge.

I agree. My objection in this thread involves tarring a profession as quacks when a member of that profession saved my life by helping me do this. Thank you.

I note that you haven't answered my questions about this naturopaths. I'll rephrase them. Did this naturopath, in addition to whatever dietary advice he gave you, ALSO offer any of these modalities: Homeopathy, reflexology, "detox," chelation, IV vitamins, TCM, or iridology?

Replying to @gorskon @Eric_OGrey and
Did he offer applied kinesiology, thermography, juice fasts, liver cleanses, or "detox" foot baths? I could go on, but these will do for a start.

The reason I ask is because, whatever dietary and lifestyle advice he gave you, if he offers one or more of those treatments to patients in his practice (and pretty much all naturopaths offer at least one of them), he is a quack, because those treatments are quackery.
