Dear Public Health Committee Member,
I write this letter in opposition
to the present licensure and to the proposed expanded licensure of
naturopaths in Connecticut. I reach out to PHC members directly, as
a Connecticut citizen and educator, in hope that ALL the pertinent
information regarding naturopathy is known and considered before
further endorsement continues.
I'm an independent researcher,
blogger, and podcast host who attended the Connecticut naturopathy
college for four years, and I have been studying naturopathy for
close to twenty years.
Truly, I am appalled by the abundant
naturopathy falsehoods that are allowed to happen WITH the State of
Connecticut in close partnership.
Recently, I have written and published
a two-part podcast episode through my Naturocrit Podcast, detailing
my criticisms: Episode 009 “The Connecticut Naturopathic Physicians
Association [CNPA] and A Supposed Modernization of Connecticut
Naturopathy"
[http://naturocrit.podbean.com/e/the-naturocrit-podcast-episode-009a/
http://naturocrit.podbean.com/e/the-naturocrit-podcast-episode-009b1/
http://naturocrit.podbean.com/e/the-naturocrit-podcast-episode-009-part-2b/].
I also publish the transcripts to
these episodes at the Naturocrit Blog
[http://naturocrit.blogspot.com/].
Here are a few questions I
have to ask, and I'd really love responses:
Though the central
essential premises of naturopathy are science-ejected, along with
naturopathy-specific diagnostics and therapeutics, why is
naturopathy allowed to market itself commercially, clinically, and
academic [sp., academically!] under the CATEGORICAL label “science”?
With naturopaths ignoring
the findings of contemporary science so systematically, why are they
allowed to be primary care physicians and what in the world is the
PHC thinking in terms of allowing prescription authority to such
science-deniers?
Are you aware that in 2014,
when the University of Bridgeport's agent ND Brady testified before
the PHC, stating that naturopathy at UB is indeed “scientific
evidence based”, that that was NOT true? [And in support of that
falsehood, the UB Dean on that transcript specifically answered
questions from the PHC chair regarding naturopathy's “homeopathy”.
Do I have to explain to a PHC just how science-discarded homeopathy
is?].
I thank you for your
consideration and your service,
Rob Cullen, RMA-AHI (AMT),
CPI (NCCT).
