Changelog 2018-04-21 and ND Video


here, I summarize recent additions to my public naturopathy database.  I also link to an ND's video each changelog, quote from, and tag the video in some detail:

[Mission emphasis: I do this continuous exercise to expose the inherent fraud that naturopathy is logically, academically, commercially, legislatively / politically and clinically.  Hugely misleading category labels such as "science based" and "evidence based" "nonsectarian" are being placed upon what truly is science-exterior and even more so disproven sectarian / quack nonsense!  Then, the largest of betrayals toward the public occurs with highly orchestrated '.gov' endorsements of naturopaths as "licensed" and "professional."  Beware, the naturopathic licensed falsehood racket marches on!]

002. video link and commentary:

002.a. Gazsi, M. (ND NCNM) states in the YouTube video "Time Out: Naturopathic Doctor Michael Gazsi (2018-04-18)" (2018):
.

.
[tags: #NDGazsi #homeopathy #sugar #supplements]
.
"I use a lot of supplements [...and] homeopathy [...and stay away from that highly inflammatory] sugar [...and he states] when I was in medical school [...and] detoxification [...and] meridian machine [...to measure body] systems [...]";

no transparent explanation of naturopathy from the NUNM graduate!  By the way, when I was in ND school, ND Gazsi was one of my instructors.

002.b. at his practice, drgazsi.com, this page on naturopathy "Meet Dr. Gazsi" [2018 archived] states: 

"the 6 guiding principles of naturopathic medicine [...#1] primum non nocere – first do no harm: naturopathic Medicine uses safe and effective therapies.[...#2] vis medicatrix naturae – the healing power of nature: the human body possesses the inherent ability to restore its own health. The physician’s role is to facilitate this with the aid of natural, non-toxic therapies [...] naturopathic physicians [...] philosophy is derived, in part, from a Hippocratic teaching more than 2,000 years old: vis mediatrix [misspelled] naturaenature is the healer of all diseases. Their practice is based on the same, basic, bio-medical science foundation that allopathic medicine is.  [...] naturopathic physicians diagnose and treat patients using natural methods including: clinical nutrition, herbal medicine, homeopathy, acupressure, oxygen therapy, hydrotherapy, vitamin, mineral, nutraceutical and enzyme supplementation [supplements galore...]";

well, science says homeopathy isn't effective, for one thing, nor supplements in general.  And as for sugar being inflammatory...well, that's nonsense generally speaking.  And naturopathy school is not medical school, because medicine is an applied science with specific ethical strictures.  And coded vitalism: is it ethical to code such basic naturopathic premises?  Because you can go to his alma mater, NUNM, and find the page "Naturopathic Principles of Healing" which states, regarding naturopathy's principles:

"[#1] the healing power of naturevis medicatrix naturae: the body has the inherent ability to establish, maintain, and restore health. The healing process is ordered and intelligent; nature heals through the response of the life force. The physician’s role is to facilitate and augment this process [...#3] first do no harm — primum no nocere: the process of healing includes the generation of symptoms, which are, in fact, expressions of the life force attempting to heal itself. Therapeutic actions should be complementary to and synergistic with this healing process. The physician’s actions can support or antagonize the actions of vis medicatrix naturae."

that's quite the useful Rosetta Stone.  That is NOT "the same basic, bio-medical science foundation" of standard medicine though even NUNM states "these principles are based on the objective observation of the nature of health and disease and are examined continually in light of scientific analysis. These principles stand as the distinguishing marks of the profession."  Because a life force is science-ejected.  So, posing the science-ejected as science is naturopathy's "hallmark", which is unethical sectarian pseudoscience bullshit. And there is no such thing as allopathic medicine, that's more bullshit false-paralleling, unless you have a time machine, and you go back to the medicine of Hahnemann's era when medicine was prescientific.
