@cabarrusmagazine.com: ND Drains and 'Naturopathy is Not the Science-Based'

here, an ND's interesting way of indirectly stating that naturopathy is not the science-based medicine it claims to be:

001. at cabarrusmagazine.com, there's the article by Kim Cassell "Naturopathy: First Do No Harm" (2018-01-02) [2018 archived] which states:

"naturopathy is viewed as a viable option for those who have not found relief through traditional medicine. It may also be used in conjunction with a science-based medical approach to achieve optimum results. Do your homework when choosing any physician and make sure you’re comfortable with their recommendations [...] some in the science-based medical community who are voicing their anger and concerns over what they see as dangerous naturopathic treatments and doctors [...]";

it sounds to me, in the article, that the science-based is not the naturopathic.

"Michelle Drains, N.D., M.S., is owner and founder of Riverbirch Holistic Health on Church Street in Concord. As a naturopathic doctor (N.D.), she studied counseling, nutrition, exercise therapeutics, homeopathy, botanical medicine, hydrotherapy and physical therapies in addition to certain medical sciences [...]";

and there you have ND Drains and homeopathy [and kind], which is definitely not science supported.  And a sprinkling of science added to the great sCAM fruitcake...

002. the practice of ND Drains:

002.a. according to her bio. [2018 archived]:

"[the blurb under her picture states] Michelle Drains ND, M.Sc. - Naturopathic Doctor / Classical Homeopath [...]"; 

and that's always interesting: UB claims their ND is within "Health Sciences" and there's an M.Sc. listed.  And then naturopathy which mandates homeopathy in its education and claims it as a "medicinal science", and homeopathy also separately listed which naturopathy claims as within its "science".  It's not.

and "[she speaks of her] doctorate in naturopathic medicine at the University of Bridgeport [...where she was] trained to support the body’s natural healing processes, stimulate the body’s vital force, and prevent further disease from occurring [...]";

so, there's that 'science-ejected vitalism sectarian naturopathy obligation' at a University that claims science and nonsectarian categorically.  Stimulating a figmentation, falsely labeled "science": sectarian medicine.  Therein, naturopathy is not the science-based, essentially.
