"naturopaths claim to be 'science-based' [...and] love to claim that naturopathic medicine is safe and effective. Yet, naturopaths are known to practice using treatments that have been disproven and dangerous [...therefore] it is impossible to conclude that naturopathic medicine is anything but imbued with bad science [...]";
yup, there is the great rift and dissonance.
"a group of leading naturopathic researchers set out to evaluate naturopathy [...] using a sneaky methodology called 'whole systems research' [...] whole
systems research was invented to study therapies that had already been
discredited by rigorous randomized controlled trials [...] homeopathy
and acupuncture are often studied in this framework because it more
often than not brings positive results but at the expense of scientific
validity [...] naturopaths studying their own quackery with quackery? [...]";
hear, hear. Science without the science...
