Changelog 2019-05-13 and ND Video

here, I summarize recent additions to my public naturopathy database.  I also link to an ND's video each changelog, quote from, and tag the video in some detail:

[Mission emphasis: I do this continuous exercise to expose the inherent fraud that naturopathy is logically, academically, commercially, legislatively / politically and clinically.  Hugely misleading category labels such as "science based" and "evidence based" "nonsectarian" are being placed upon what truly is science-exterior and even more so disproven sectarian / quack nonsense!  Then, the largest of betrayals toward the public occurs with highly orchestrated '.gov' endorsements of naturopaths as "licensed" and "professional."  Beware, the naturopathic licensed falsehood racket marches on!]

who speaks of allergies;

002.b. and at her practice, there's:

002.b1. coded vitalism in "Naturopathic Medicine" which states:

"we put our ultimate trust in the natural capacity of humans for health [...] our mandate is to support that innate healing capacity";

and that's all you're told.

002.b2. and more coded vitalism in "The Principles" which states:

"6. support the healing power of the body – vis medicatrix naturae: as a naturopathic physician, I recognize that every human person is inherently blessed with an intelligent and ordered gift for self-healing. My function is to identify and remove obstacles to this process. I can diagnose and advise; only the patient can prevent and cure";

again coding.

002.b3. and more coding in "FAQ’s":

"to this end, we employ an array of modalities that are designed to treat the disease but also to support the healing power of the body";

because generally speaking you don't deserve to know what is essential to naturopathy.

002.b4. but there is explicit vitalism in:

002.b4i. "Disciplines" which states:

"naturopathic physicians are licensed as primary care doctors [...] providing a full range of diagnostic tests and therapies. Garibaldi Health Clinic focuses on the following modalities [...including] traditional Chinese medicine / acupuncture [...and] homeopathy [...and]  facial rejuvenation acupuncture [...] Chinese medicine: developed over more than 3000 years ago [...] now recognized in the west as a sophisticated and effective branch of medical practice. Acupuncture follows the belief that energy or qi flows naturally through the body. When there is disease or pain in the body, there is a blockage in this flow of qi. Through acupuncture and Chinese medicine we can stimulate energy, eliminate any disruptions of qi, and restore balance to the body to achieve optimal health. Acupuncture can be used to treat musculoskeletal issues, digestive disturbances, lowered immune system, anxiety, depression, and women’s health concerns including infertility, menstrual complaints, and menopause [...]";

qi vitalism.  And a claim of efficacy for something considered a theatrical placebo.  Or I missed the Nobels being awarded.  One of the tells for such is when it claims to do SO MUCH.

002.b4ii. "Acupuncture" which states:

"so how does acupuncture work? Chinese medicine recognizes a network of 12 pathways in the body called channels, along which three vital elements flow. These are moisture, blood and qi [...] a form of energy that gives us the capacity to move, think and feel. Wherever these channels come close to the surface, there are small depressions in the skin called acupuncture points. A thin, sterile steel needle inserted here has the effect of stimulating the flow of qi, thus invigorating the function of muscles, nerves, blood vessels, glands and organs [...]"; 

more qi vitalism.  And that claim of working.  And these purported structures in the skin are as true as the existence of qi.
