The Illinois State Medical Society's Position on Naturopathy in Terms of Science

here, the Illinois State Medical Society's position on naturopathy in terms of science:

001. the ISMS states in "Opposition to Licensure of Naturopathic 'Physicians' – HB 3508" [2018 archived]:

"there is no consistent application of evidenced-based principles and scientific study for naturopathic treatments. The naturopathic profession’s reluctance and/or inability to apply evidence-based principles and scientific study to its treatment modalities is of great concern. The mechanism of action and the efficacy of many naturopathic treatment modalities are not scientifically supported, and many are considered unsafe yet continue to be offered to patients";

yup.
