001. as a comment to the FTC article "OTC Homeopathic Drugs: Established FTC Proof Standards Apply" that recently went up, I wrote [I've added hypertext links the the version below]:
“The Naturocrit Podcast and Blog:
This is great news, particularly in terms of consumer informed
consent:
since the FDA was hamstring (or unwilling), you stepped up
to the plate in terms of marketplace governance.
I am interested in
an FTC opinion regarding:
a) fully-accredited (actually multiply-accredited) in-residence naturopathy degrees in the U.S.
that claim, contrary to this enforcement policy for homeopathy for
instance, that homeopathy and kind is squarely SCIENCE
b) and also,
actually, specifically, that the supernatural is squarely SCIENCE,
and what clearly is implausible and without evidence is squarely
SCIENCE.
I've been writing letters for years:
like the FDA, it seems
that Federal and States' Departments of Education and Consumer
Protection either are
a) hamstrung, committed-colluding, or simply do
not care
b) about this egregious, unmerchantable product on the
market called 'a naturopathy doctorate' that has Title IV access
though academically CATEGORICALLY fraudulent.
There are lots of
'shoulds' to ask, such as should:
AANMC-AANP naturopathy be allowed
to falsely MARKET the contents and activities of naturopathy as
categorically / broadly SCIENCE?
The Naturocrit Podcast is on iTunes.
-r.c.”
002. the comment might be approved for the above FTC page by FTC. The article is attribututed to:
Lesley Fair, "a Senior Attorney with the Federal Trade Commission’s Bureau of Consumer
Protection, where she has represented the FTC in numerous
investigations of deceptive advertising and consumer fraud."
