001. @stuff.co.nz, Simon Maude reports in "Naturopathy Under Microscope After Cancer Sufferers Speak From Under Shadow of Death" (2017-08-27):
"it is late July. An Auckland woman sits at her dining room table, frail, cosseted in a wool-knit beanie, brittle wisps of hair poking out [...] she is one of two women who died of cancer this year, after trusting in a naturopath to cure them [...] she knows her time is running out. She doesn't know it, but she will be dead in two weeks. First, though, she wants to speak out to call for regulation of naturopaths after her bitter experience with alternative therapies [...she said] 'from my point of view the naturopath has used people like me as guinea pigs [...] I don't think naturopaths should try to heal cancer. I trusted in naturopathy, I don't trust in it any more' [...]";
well, regulating what's horrible is not the answer. Regulations DO exist, it's called practicing medicine without a license, and actual medicine's code of ethics.
