Why do real physicians with real MDs become homeopaths? It's never made sense to me.

With respect: at least most homeopaths have some nutrition training?

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.

The fact that one can be licensed does not make one competent. It’s like licensing magicians, only pretending that they don”real”magic.

Are all MDs competent?

No but they are licensed to practice a profession based on science and evidence. Naturopaths when licensed are still making shit up.
