here, I quote from the 'great naturopathy mother-ship', the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians [AANP]:
001. the AANP states in "What is Naturopathic Medicine?":
"naturopathic medicine is based on the belief that the human body has an innate healing ability [coded vitalism!...the] bodies' ability to ward off and combat disease [coded vitalism!...per] the best of modern medical science [...naturopathy's] six timeless principles [are] found[ed] on medical tradition and scientific evidence [...#1] let nature heal [...per] a powerful, innate instinct for self-healing [...#3] use low-risk procedures and healing compounds [...including] homeopathy [...#5] we each have a unique [...] spiritual makeup."
Note: I'll flesh out the coded vitalism in 002., below. Obviously, 'naturopathy is claiming that the essentially naturopathic' is scientific [more here]. This includes vitalism, homeopathy, and supernaturalism -- none of which have supporting scientific evidence, overall. AANP's overall MO, as exemplified to their minions from this supposed definition, is to opaquely represent naturopathy's essential vitalistic premise and falsely label what lacks scientific support as having scientific support.
002. as a 'master decoder', I recommend my compilation detailing naturopathy's essential vitalism belief.
003. regarding the lack of scientific support for homeopathy -- which naturopathy falsely labels a "clinical science" on their licensure exam -- this is now quite decided.
