well that's a little scary, primary care with magic beans, unicorn tears and flying carpets.
"skin conditions/disorders [...] are even significantly more difficult to treat without the aid of homeopathic remedies [...so he wrote the article] for naturopathic doctors who would like to have an additional effective tool in their toolbox [...]";
to the rescue, placebo empty remedies that are implausible and never shown to work when you rigorously filter the published literature [such as]. A strange idea regarding what's effective.
"homeopathic remedies, on the other hand, stimulate the body to heal itself (energetically) [...]";
ah, coded vitalism. So energy being misused as usual to represent unmeasured, science-discarded, nonparsimonious vitalistic forces.
"proper diagnosis / assessment is critical in successful treatment [...] I definitely recommend using the lower potencies of 6C, 12C, or 30C when treating skin conditions. Sometimes I use the 200C potency [...]";
sure, sure. How about proper treatment too? Maybe, are I even say, proper education.
"note: Medorrhinum and Thuja are the top 2 most effective remedies for treating all pelvic infections, in general [...and use] Lachesis [with] left-sided signs & symptoms [...use] Lycopodium [for] right-sided signs & symptoms [...]";
yeah. Because though homeopathy doesn't work, lets use them for infections that sound rather serious. And I always though it so STRANGE the weird sidedness inexplicability to so much of homeopathy. The tissue on one side of the body is the same tissue on the other side of the body, generally biological speaking. Of course there can be structural differences, but for homeopathy, what remedies do were decided subjectively / phenomenologically.
"lastly, I would like to point out that you should consider naturopathic detoxification/cleansing as a backup or as an adjunctive therapy to homeopathic treatment of skin disorders [...]";
oh yeah, toxins. Unnamed, bad, fix them.
"you can find this information in my PowerPoint presentation of my Homeopathic Dermatology talk at the 2018 AANP convention [...]";
homeopathy is quite core to naturopathy.
"Sharif, ND, is a licensed naturopathic physician and a 2003 graduate of Bastyr University [...] types. Dr Sharif has a primary-care practice in Kent, WA, and is an affiliate clinical faculty member at Bastyr University [...]";
Bastyr, where such stuff is to this day still falsely categorized as "science-based." And an unethical sectarian pseudoscience marches on...
