Massive Ouch For Naturopathy 2019: Gary Nunn at The Guardian

here, another thermonuclear blast for the naturopathy cockroaches…who endlessly persist...because that's what cockroaches do:

001. Gary Nunn writes at theguardian.com in “Naturopaths Are Snake-Oil Salespeople Masquerading as Health Professionals” (2019-03-24):

"when I began researching and conducting interviews for a feature about naturopaths, I was doggedly determined to keep an open mind. Journalism 101 dictates balance: a fair hearing to both sides [...] to present the unbiased truth [...]";

hear, hear.

"I interviewed academics from Sydney, Melbourne and the UK, senior medical professionals, skeptics, authors on the subject, naturopaths themselves, those who use them, the professional body for naturopaths, the Australian Medical Associated, the Department of Health, and a naturopath turned dissenter [...]";

yet it's such a small, insular world.  Because so many people don't know what it is, and that's good and yet bad in terms of potential exploitation.

"what I discovered shocked me [...] the medical world also has its charlatans. The snake-oil salespeople, masquerading as health professionals, are naturopaths [...]";

ouch!!!  Very nice.
