NCNM's "Master of Science in Homeopathy Degree" Absurdity

here, a little snippet from the American Association of Naturopathic Medicine, who are promoting HOMEOPATHY as a legitimate SCIENTIFIC academic degree at NCNM, coincidentally [!] funded by a homeopathy manufacturer:

001. the AANP, in "Hevert Partners with NCNM, Grants $495,000 Award" [2014 archived here], states:

"in a major show of support for the advancement of homeopathic medicine in the United States, Hevert Pharmaceuticals [...] one of the world's leading manufacturers of homeopathic medicines [...which supposedly are] 'our safe, naturally effective homeopathic medicines' [...] announced today that it has partnered with the National College of Natural Medicine, pledging its support with a gift of $495,000 that will help provide funding for groundbreaking new college programs [...including] the development of an accredited Master of Science in Homeopathy Degree [...]";

really, magic beans, unicorn tears and flying carpets are graduate level science, now.
