002. video of the week link [not to pun]:
[special guest!] Senator Tom Harkin [who is not an ND] states in "Naturopathic Physicians Provide Wellness to Americans" [vsc 2012-05-17; my comments are in unquoted bold]:

"I'm Senator Tom Harkin [...speaking about] AANP's federal legislative initiative [this 2012...whereby NDs] educate your members of Congress on the benefits of naturopathic medicine for both our physical health and our fiscal health [...]";
Harkin is regarded as quite the defender of the supplement industry and its loopholes. Now, NDs have a tenet 'doctor as teacher.' But, in order to educate you have to be knowledgeable. What do NDs know? Well, absurdly, they claim that science-ejected ideas are scientific when hugely / patently they are not. They miseducate after being miseducated. And I wonder, how does a system based on a metaphysical figmentation benefit us PHYSICALLY, and if their treatments are bogus [like colonics, homeopathy, acupuncture, iridology, and the like] How does that benefit us fiscally? It benefits them, for sure.
"the Affordable Care Act includes my amendment [...] a nondiscrimination clause to protect naturopathic physicians regarding participation in a health plan [...] this will insure that insurance companies cannot exclude NDs and other allied health professionals from practicing under the capacity of their training and licensure [...]";
and so, nonsense [NDs education, training, claims] gets sheltered. We've seen this in Oregon, wherein NDs legislated FALSEHOOD.
"as naturopathic physicians know all to well, we don't have a healthcare system in America, we have a sick care system [...] we spend peanuts on prevention. This is absurd and it's unsustainable [...and speaks of] a genuine wellness society [...] NDs and integrative medicine can and must play a very big role in this transformation [...] an expanded role for NDs [...their] sharp emphasis on wellness and prevention [...their] pragmatism in taking full advantage of the very best available therapies [...]";
the IRONY is killing me. In finding fault with the current healthcare system, we should embrace NONSENSE? Like naturopathy's homeopathy? Let's DO get genuine and talk about what's unsustainable: naturopathy is a patent pseudoscience [in their own words, they pose what isn't science as science, it's completely disingenuous]. Pragmatism? Best therapies? Pragmatically speaking naturopathy's claims are quite bogus. E.g., they laud homeopathy as POWERFUL, yet it is completely placebo!!!
