Bastyr University PR Celebrates 40 Years of Pseudo / Fake Science-Based Natural Medicine

here, criticism of BU's epistemic claims:

001. Bastyr University published the press release "Bastyr University Celebrates Its 40th Anniversary with Numerous Events: Founders’ Awards Dinner, Anniversary Gala and Founders’ Lunch and Learns Lunch and Learns" (2018) [2018 archived] which states:

"Bastyr University celebrates the significant achievement of 40 years of naturopathic medical education with a series of commemorative events during the week of November 12-17, 2018 [...] since its inception in 1978, Bastyr University has been a pioneer in science-based natural medicine [...] the field of natural health science [...] Bastyr University is a nonprofit, private university offering doctoral, graduate and undergraduate degrees, with a multidisciplinary curriculum in science-based natural medicine [...] Bastyr's international faculty educate future leaders in the natural health arts and sciences, with an emphasis on integrating mind, body, spirit and nature [...]";

a couple of things.  For most of its time, BU granted ND degrees only, so they're right in specifically saying it's 40 years of the naturopathic.  All the other programs are quite younger.  Now, categorically, in all that time, they've termed naturopathy "science-based natural medicine" and "natural health sciences."  So, I think there's a clear categorically claim here, science subset naturopathy.  But, then, there's that so important "body, mind, spirit, nature" that's specified as within that science categorical label.  Well, nature is their "healing power of nature" which is vitalism which is science-ejected.  And "spirit" is of course supernaturalism, which is not within science.  But, here, we see naturopathy's project: expand the footprint of science until it's meaningless, engage in commerce under false labels because nobody will enforce the truthfulness of the product no matter how patently false it is.  And the science status of this area was never earned, or Nobels would have been awarded.  Instead, BU founder Pizzorno admits all over the place that he "coined" the term "science-based natural medicine."  Even at BU [2018 archived].
