      5/n Naturopaths, giving patients hope can be helpful to their well-being. Giving them a FANATASY about some random MADE-UP ‘therapy’, especially when it replaces a proven one, is NOT being fair to THEM. It meets YOUR NEEDS NOT THEIRS!!!

      6/n Every minute MDs spend reassuring patients that they don't need to have tests & treatments their naturopath told them to have, leaves LESS time for other patients. Naturopaths are REDUCING access to care for everyone!! This is a hidden cost of naturopathy that AFFECTS US ALL!

      7/n The very title 'naturopath' HIDES a truth! 'Natural', for many, implies 'better'. By choosing this name, they BIAS patients that whatever they offer, no matter how bad, or unfounded it may be, IS automatically 'good'. It’s MISLEADING, before patients even step in the door!

      8/n What naturopaths really need to learn is FEAR!!! I don't know one MD out there that hasn't WORRIED about the recommendations they make. We doubt ourselves. We question ourselves. We CHALLENGE ourselves. And we ask for HELP. A LOT! And you know who benefits? The PATIENTS DO!

      9/n But many naturopaths go well beyond their 'training', DENY the value of proven LIFESAVING treatments like #vaccines. They UNETHICALLY promote their own ineffective services & treatments instead. This screams 'inferiority complex', while playing with people's LIVES!

      10/n Society needs to start insisting that naturopaths are ACCOUNTABLE to patients & society for the costs & consequences of their actions, just like the rest of us are. This #bignatura industry needs a massive overhaul, a 'reset', or possibly a 'DELETE'.

      11/n Naturopaths, turn your attention inwards, & ask yourselves a tough question: Doctors have been teaching ourselves, & our trainees ad nauseum "DO NO HARM"!! Do you really think you can you say the same...?

      12/12 PS naturopaths - the odds that every single patient you see has either: a 'hormone problem', 'undetectable celiac disease', 'sugar sensitivity', or 'adrenal fatigue' (seriously, these things don't go to sleep), is EXACTLY ZERO!!

      . @HislopMD I agree with your sentiments and I train NDs. I too am annoyed by made-up diagnoses; simplistic thinking; the naturalistic fallacy; bad testing; and by treatment burden. I am not alone here, and this profession moves (albeit not all at once) in the right direction.

      The right direction for naturopaths is to embrace medical science. A good place to start is to ditch homeopathy, acupuncture, and supplements.

      Oh Britt. The first principle is that you must not fool yourself and you are the easiest person to fool - R Feynman. Your vitriolic war on naturopathy is so inappropriately oversimplified.

          NDs offer testing and recommendations without evidence, this is quackery, and missing treatable diagnoses is dangerous. It is pretty simple.

          While I agree with your general sentiment that we should be rigorous in our attempt to base management decisions on best available evidence and reason, you are certainly oversimplifying the issue to make a strong point.

          Can you prove my criticism to be incorrect? You did not address my point about homeopathy et al. Also, I recently saw some weird quackery CCNM is teaching: Emunctorology. What's up with that?

          It sounds like it has something to do with Emus and human rectums. Diluted Emu oil up the rectum?

          Oh Hal. That Feynman quotation is from a speech warning about being fooled by pseudoscience, which homeopathy definitely is.

          @HHuffND Oh Hal, the very foundation of naturopathy is so flawed, from the logical fallacy of appeal to nature to the treatment pyramid which prefers treatment by trial and error instead of treatment by risk/benefit analysis.

          Herein lies the problem. There is no clear foundation except that all early ND's appealed to the 'healing power of nature' as primary in considering treatment. Many of us realize the logical errors in this reasoning and move forward with a more reasoned approach.
