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!!!

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.
-
Oh, agreed!

Feynman would kick you in the balls for using his brilliant quote with such ignorance behind it.
Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@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.
