AANP's INM "Educates" Children 2017 and NDs' "Better Educated" Claim

here, a video from the Institute for Natural Medicine and a look at the practice pages of the ND in it:

001. at YouTube,  in "INM's 'Naturally Well' Childhood Food and Wellness Education Program" [published & saved 2017-12-28], we're told:

"[from the description] in the summer of 2017, the Institute for Natural Medicine collaborated with the Food as Medicine Institute with funds from a San Gabriel Valley Medical Center grant to create the 'Naturally Well' after-school program. The program was taught at the West San Gabriel YMCA, reaching nearly 250 children ages 4 - 12 [...from the video] an educational program of the Institute for Natural Medicine [...]";

should naturopathy-the-lying-and-false-ediface be allowed such access?  The conflation of food with medicine is actually STUPID.  Children might not use medicines they need, or accidentally use medicine that they think will behave like food.  And because a naturopathy education is dyseducational, NDs shouldn't be allowed to disseminate their STUPID.

"[and we're shown ND Amaliya Santiago who says] so I'm a naturopathic medical doctor. I graduated from Bastyr University [...]";

now, Bastyr is the place where anything is labeled "science", so, that's not a credential of worth.

"just in general, what naturopathy is, you know, because we talk about that in every class.  Why is food important?  Why is eating healthy important?  How to you prevent disease?  And that's basically what naturopathic medicine is about [...] but the older kids are definitely aware now of what natural medicine is [...]"; 

oh, I think there's a lot more to naturopathy than that. 

002. at synergynaturalmedicine.com, the web pages of ND Santiago and partners, we're told:


002.a. on her bio. page:

that she's a 2015 Bastyr ND grad. and "Dr. Santiago believes in the importance of integrating both allopathic and naturopathic medicine for achieving the best outcome for a patient’s health [...}';

ah, "allopathic" aka the false 'reverse sectarian accusation".  Wine plus mud...

002.b. on their page "Naturopathic Doctors" this huge science categorical claim:

"the applied science education of a naturopathic doctor is similar to that of an MD or DO [...]";

well, that can't be true if naturopathy's idea of what is science is quite more permissive. 

 "[as compared to MDs] NDs are better educated in physiology. Physiology is the science of how organism, organ systems, organs, cells and bio-molecules carry out the chemical or physical functions that exist in a living organism.This provides NDs with the best skill sets to improve a patient's physiology using nutritional medicine, supplements, herbs and other natural and non-invasive therapies along with a deep understanding of how to help the body deal with the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs"

yet, of course, the science of physiology excludes vitalism which is at the heart of naturopathic causations, because naturopathy basically lets anything be labeled science.

002.c. and her therapies -- listed are lots of shots and IVs -- include ozone;

because those are natural.
