Naturopath as Doctor of the Best and Proven at nymag.com

here, when false equations and false positions are portrayed as legitimate:

001. at nymag.com, Karen Iorio Adelson writes in "Everything You Need to Avoid Getting Sick This Winter, According to Doctors" (2019-01-23):

"to find out if there’s a way to avoid getting sick altogether, we asked an internist, an emergency room physician, and a naturopathic doctor what they recommend for staying healthy [...] all three doctors agree that regular handwashing is one of the best ways of staying germ-free. ";

what an interesting equivalence.  Standard of care medicine and naturopathy as "doctors".  Agreement and best.

"according to naturopathic doctor Amy Rothenberg, 'the majority of our immune system is generated in our gut' [...] she explains that probiotic supplements [...] probiotic strains with other doctor-approved ingredients like vitamin C, zinc, and echinacea [...]";

so, we're hearing biology, and of course supplements.  Eachinacea, by the way, does not help with colds. So, this is bad advice, in terms of wasted money. So much for the naturopath as doctor, and best.

"'it has been proven that simple handwashing with soap and water is as effective as using hand sanitizers' says Rothenberg [...]";

so, add now "proven" to the naturopaths position.  Yet, in sum, naturopathy's central tenet, vitalism, and one of its central therapies, homeopathy, are actually science-ejected.  The ND is an NUNM graduate, and if you check at NUNM, you find that vitalism and homeopathy bunkum.
