Changelog 2018-08-31 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!]

001. added:

the vitalism [science-ejected subset naturopathy] claims of:

NDNR's "Natural Solutions for the Cold and Flu";

to Appendix B.04.b.;

which has this great equation by way
of a great preponderance:

"[NDNR publisher Razi Berry] NaturalPath is a movement

embracing the naturopathic paradigm that

honors the vitality within all of us. The vital force, as we call it,

is that amazing unseen life-force in all living things that strive

towards growth, goodness, wholeness, and health. 

Some call it spirit, god, life, or love";

[that's vitalism, spiritism, theism, pantheism,
autoentheism etc.]

[regarding NaturalPath's preponderance,
we're told at "About Us":
"on a daily basis, NaturalPath covers the practice of
 naturopathic medicine and includes the products and
 services that natural medicine physicians use and
prescribe. The content consists of articles written by practicing
NDs for the general public. Clinical themes cover pertinent
case studies, clinical pearls and discussions on the usage
of nutraceuticals, botanicals, IV and injection therapies,
homeopathy and other naturopathic modalities

002. video link and commentary:

002.a. from the YouTube account >GELLIN' WITH J. ELLEN<, we're told in the video "Auburn Naturopathic Medicine Interview" [saved 2018-08-24]:

[tags: #NDHook #codedvitalism #treattheunderlying]

"[from the description] meet Dr. Heidi at Auburn Naturopathic Medicine. An alternative to conventional medicine. Get to the cause, don't just treat your symptoms [...from the video, a realtor is interviewing the ND apparently] she's gonna tell us what naturopathic medicine is [...and the ND states] we are naturopathic doctors [...] a four-year post-grad medical training [...] a medical point of view but also a holistic point of view [a blend...] our belief is that the body wants to heal [...] the body can heal itself [...] finding the underlying cause [...] it's love, it's trust, it's integrity, it's hope, it's truth [...] the specials [...] every Monday we have a B12 shot, it's ten dollars.  B12 is a really important nutrient that when it's low people can feel tired.  And most people feel tired [...] testing [...] genetics [...] enzymes [...] blown my mind [...] I'm really treating your biochemistry [...] when I look at their labs and when I look at their genetics [...] specifically [...] it's really really fun";

supposed "medical" training.  So, true alternatives have to compare equally or better, IMHO.  What's crappier isn't an alternative unless punching yourself in the face is an alternative to washing your face.  And, there's that subtle dig at conventional medicine, as in 'we get to the root not just palliate.'  As if.  And we were told we'd be told what naturopathy really is: an unethical sectarian pseudoscience.  But we're not told. What we get instead is coded vitalism. And posed virtues, atop that. And all that biochemistry hooking...

002.b. her practice pages, Auburn Naturopathic Medicine:

002.b1. there's the ND's bio. page "Dr. Heidi Hook, N.D." [2018 archived]:

where we're told she's a 1996 Bastyr graduate and she practices with ND Sura, a SCNM graduate.

002.b2. on the page "What is Naturopathy?" [2018 archived]  which states: 

"naturopathic medicine is a type of medicine that is based on the philosophy of [...#2] the healing power of nature [...]"; 

so, typical coded vitalism. It's not a type of medicine, it's a belief system first and foremost.

 "naturopathic doctors are California licensed and board certified primary care doctors. They are trained at an accredited, four-year, post-graduate, residential naturopathic medical school  [...]";

so, now we know whom their partners are.  Also, the use here of "board certified" is a ruse.  A medical specialist is board certified, these NDs are merely taking a licensure exam.  And what kind of supposedly 'highest-devel' doctoral program poses as science: the science-ejected vitalistic, and the unscienceable theistic and kind?

"the training consists of comprehensive study of the conventional medical sciences, including anatomy, physiology, pathology, microbiology, immunology, clinical and physical diagnosis, laboratory diagnosis, cardiology, gastroenterology, gynecology, etc, as well as detailed study of a wide variety of natural therapies [...including] homeopathy [...]";

so, science plus JUNK. If naturopaths truly did study science comprehensively, then why oh why the Bastyr muddle below in 002.b4.?  Her alma amater.

002.b3. and liked to from that page, on the Heidi Hook YouTube account, there's the video "Are You Optimal?" [saved 2018-08-24], which states:

[tags: #NDHook #codedvitalism #supplements #promises]

"my question to you is are you optimal?  Are you happy?  Are you healthy?  Are you vibrant? [...] because if you don't experience that, you may want to listen to what I have to say [...] there's a paradigm shift [...] treating foundational causes [...] inflammation [...] nutritional deficiencies and genetic variations [...] us on the cutting edge [...] we have the most comprehensive labs [...] we're able to diagnose and treat that's specific to you [...] we're testing, we're treating, which makes us more effective [...] some of my all-time favorite labs and supplements [...] they are just that good [...]";

it's rather ironic that a naturopath is talking about getting things not just ok, but OPTIMAL as in BEST.  ISYN.  Optimally, she shouldn't code vitalism.  And so many promises.  So much conceit. And yet naturopathy's epistemic foundation is bogus...

002.b4. for instance, look at Bastyr, ND Hook's alma mater, where we're told, which explains so much of how crazy naturopathy's thinking in terms of its muddle:

"science-based natural medicine that integrates mind, body, spirit, and nature";

which is so bad it isn't even wrong: you do not in a sane world science-base either the science-exterior supernatural and theistic or the science-ejected homeopathic or the science-ejected vitalistic.
