Wherein I Ask an ND To Retract Her Claim that Homeopathy is a Science

here, an ND's false claim that homeopathy is a science:

001. at vaildaily.com, in "Health Insights Column: Naturopathic Medicine Week was Oct. 10-16; Learn More About These Practitioners"   [2016 archived] (2016-10-17), ND  Wiancek writes:

"naturopathic doctors are primary-care practitioners trained as specialists in natural medicine. They treat disease and restore health using therapies from the sciences of clinical nutrition, botanical medicine, homeopathy, physical medicine, exercise therapy, counseling, acupuncture, natural childbirth and hydrotherapy [...]"; 

and my comment was: "The Naturocrit Podcast and Blog: Homeopathy is not a science.  Check the science.   I think a retraction is in order regarding labeling homeopathy as science.  I'd ask the same if you'd labeled astrology a science.  -r.c."
