001. at csiconference.org, we’re told on their homeopage [I'm joking! It's homepage...but they have some homeo there too...]:
“skeptics, this is our
moment! CSICon 2019. Flamingo Hotel Las Vegas. October 17-20 […] speakers
[…] Britt Marie Hermes. Britt Hermes is a writer, scientist, and a former
naturopathic doctor. She practiced as a licensed naturopath in the United
States for three years and then left the profession after realizing naturopathy
is a pseudoscientific ideology. She now writes to expose issues with
naturopathy, the current rising profession in alternative medicine […] join us
at CSICon 2019 October 17-20 at the Flamingo Resort in Las Vegas. People are
finally starting to wake up: anti-vaxxers: denounced as a danger to public
health; climate science deniers: exposed as ideological zealots; celebrity
psychics: have been caught red-handed using trickery; homeopathy [ah, the promised homeo...]: debunked as fake medicine; flat-Earthers:
…seriously? Skeptics must seize this moment, as misinformation is colliding
with reality in plain sight. Now is the time for the brightest minds in science
and reason to come together to turn the tide against pseudoscience, conspiracy
theories, and alternative facts. And naturally, we should do it in Vegas. It’s
more fun that way [...]”
hear, hear.
002. also, as a point of emphasis regarding naturopathy, speaking of misinforming the public from a position of institutional power, remember that the AANP, the American organized branch of what is falsely claims as "science-based natural medicine", to this day still claims 'science subset homeopathy' in their longstanding “Zicam is Not Homeopathy!" [archived since 2012]:
"homeopathy is a 200 year-old medicinal science [...]";
so, that's quite the collection of usual suspects to interrogate with science and reason: naturopathy, its homeopathy, anti-vaxxers, climate science denialism, psychic fakes, and flat-Earthers. What company naturopathy keeps...
