BCNA President ND Fraser Says 'There's More to Naturopathy' - Oh Yeah.

here, musings upon absurd naturopathy assurances:

001. BCNA President ND Fraser ( ) writes at theprovince.com, in "Dr. Janine Fraser, ND: There's More to Naturopathic Medicine Than Recent Controversies"  (2019-04-08):

"if you have heard anything in the media recently about naturopathic medicine, the odds are it hasn’t been positive [...]"; 

something I agree with.  The truth about naturopathy isn't positive.  Naturopathy doesn't compare positively.

"there have been stories about allegedly anti-vaccination naturopaths and, before that, a naturopath in Victoria who treated a child for aggressive behavior with lyssinum — a homeopathic product made from rabid dog saliva.  But naturopaths are not anti-vaccination, nor do we accept bizarre remedies that lack science-based evidence [...]";

well, I disagree with the science categorization / science self-labeling.  All of naturopathy's homeopathy is science-ejected, and so much more.  For instance, naturopathy's requisite vitalism is science-ejected.  So, bullshit on the "science-based" categorization.  Truly bizarre.

"in the Victoria case, the B.C. Naturopathic Association filed a complaint against that naturopath — who was not a member of our organization — with our regulator, the College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. It resulted in her leaving the profession [...]";

of course, the regulator is the naturopathic community populating the 'College' aka oversight board.  Yet, why doesn't BCNA and CNPBC have any problem with BCNA itself stating such falsehoods as the classic, and I mean classic, 'naturopathic false science categorization' that's in the BCNA hosted document "The Nature of Naturopathic Medicine" which states this whopper of a false categorization: "[naturopathy] is simply primary health care, in the same scientific fashion of allopathic care [...] naturopathic medicine is science based natural medicine [...] embracing these tenets, on a science-based platform, is at the heart of naturopathic medical care [...] here is a wealth of research, both controlled and double-blind clinical studies, showing the scientific basis and validity of naturopathic protocols."  So, dig deeper and you find much much more...wrong with naturopathy.
