Changelog 2013-11-26 and ND Video

here, I summarize recent additions to my public naturopathy database.  I also link to an ND's video each changelog, quote from, and tag the video in some detail:

[Mission emphasis: I do this continuous exercise to expose the inherent fraud that naturopathy is logically, academically, commercially, legislatively / politically and clinically.  Hugely misleading category labels such as "science based" and "evidence based" "nonsectarian" are being placed upon what truly is science-exterior and even more so disproven sectarian / quack nonsense!  Then, the largest of betrayals toward the public occurs with highly orchestrated '.gov' endorsements of naturopaths as "licensed" and "professional."  Beware, the naturopathic licensed falsehood racket marches on!]

the 'naturopathy is not science, is pseudoscience and / or quackery' claims of:

the National Review's Kevin D. Williamson writes 

in " Qi Bono? Obamacare and the New Age Quacks"

(2013-11-26]:

"there is a far more significant assault on science under way at the hands 

of our allegedly secularist friends, thanks to the Affordable Care Act, 

provisions of which are going to be used to pour billions of dollars into

 quack medicine of every description under the guise of 

'non-discrimination' [...it will] recognize the worst sort of quackery  

and pseudoscience, with no more regard for the scientific record than 

the most fervid young-Earth creationist, swami, or snake-handler [...] 

which means that such traffickers in pseudoscience as homeopathic  

healers, acupuncturists, herbalists, chiropractors, and the like will be 

covered under Obamacare, at least in states that recognize such  

quackery [...] their claims of efficacy have no more scientific 

support than does the Flintstones account of early human history  

[...] the theory of acupuncture is that health problems arise from

 inhibitions of the body’s vital energy, known as qi, which can be

 relieved by applying needles to specific points in the body. Qi, so

far as science can document, does not exist, and the anatomical 

points associated with traditional acupunctural therapy are, so far 

as science can document, of no special importance [...] the American 

version of qi is 'innate intelligence,' which was discovered by 

magnetic healer Daniel David Palmer in the 19th century. Palmer 

founded the practice of chiropractic to help straighten out problems

related to that innate intelligence. Like the practitioners of 

acupuncture, chiropractors work from the assumption that there 

are blockages of vitalistic energy. Never mind that this energy 

does not seem to actually exist, and that the blockages[...] that 

they claim to detect are not detectable [...] 

the problem is that credentialing in pseudoscientific sham fields 

such as naturopathic medicine [...with] its mystical claims and 

utter lack of scientific support [...] has nothing to do with 

medical benefit. As Dr. Stephen Barrett notes in his report 

on naturopathy, the U.S. Department of Education recognizes 

an accrediting agency for schools of naturopathic medicine, 

but: 'as with acupuncture and chiropractic schools, this 

recognition was not based upon the scientific validity of 

what is taught but on such factors as record-keeping, 

physical assets, financial status, makeup of the governing 

body, catalog characteristics, nondiscrimination policy, 

 and self-evaluation system' [...]";

002. video link and commentary:

ND Sensenig, of this Naturocrit Podcast episode, was filmed lecturing about the 'essentially naturopathic' in "Dr. Sensenig -- Philosophical Differences Between Naturopathic and Allopathic Medicine" [uploaded 2013-11-02; vsc 2013-11-26], and he states:

"[quoting Lindlahr] 'there are two prevalent but widely differing conceptions of life, or the nature of vital force, the material and the vital. The former looks upon life or vital force [...as] physical, material [...] chemical' [...the ND adds] this is 100 years ago [...] that's the basis of the scientific materialism of the 20th century, that's the argument that we all crawled out of the primordial soup [...that] molecules [...] got more and more complicated [...and back to Lindlahr] 'the vitalistic conception of life, on the other hand, regards vital force as the primary force of all forces, coming from the great central source of all life, this force which permeates, heats, and animates the entire created universe is an expression of the divine intelligence and the will, the logos, the word of the great creative intelligence [...] it is the divine energy that sets in motion [etc....electricity] it is intelligent energy [...] this intelligent energy can have but one source, the will and the intelligence of the creator or as Swedenborg expresses it the great central sun of the universe [...] this supreme energy [00.12.08...] crude matter, instead of being the source of all life [...] is but an expression of the life force, itself a manifestation of the great creative intelligence, which some call god, others nature, the oversoul, brahma, prana, the great spirit etc. [...] this supreme intelligence and power acting in and through every atom, molecule and cell in the human body which is the true healer, the vis medicatrix naturae [...] the healer within' [00.13.21...]

[the ND] two extremely different world views here [...evolution and science as] bottom up [...versus] creation [and HIS BELIEFS!...as] top down 

[...bottom up, which he disparages] is the same world view that says that consciousness [...] is itself an emergent phenomenon of the physical material universe [...which is] materialistic [...the position that] physical matter gets more and more complicated [...that] consciousness [...] is an emergent phenomenon of that physical universe [00.14.5]";

so, there's that antiscience 'essentially naturopathic' metaphysical, dualistic and religious point of view: that vitalism / vital force immaterialism, that is autoentheistic / divine-theistic / creationistic.  Reminds me of the class he taught me in 1998 full of all this sectarian crap falsely posed as science.
