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!]
001. added:
the vitalism [science-ejected subset naturopathy] claims of:
NDs Aponte and Axtell;
NDs Asplin and Hacker;
ND Bosted;
NDs Bradford, Leung,
Perch, Yik;
ND Brinkley;
NDs Coracides and Lopez;
the 'science subset naturopathy' category claims of:
NDs Palacios-Campillay,
Pierre, Preston, Schwarz;
ND Pateguana;
ND Perch;
ND Preston;
to Appendix I.05.m.;
the 'scientific rejection of vitalism':
to Appendix C.04.:
a) the journal Animals:
in "The Emperor’s New Clothes —
An Epistemological Critique of Traditional
Chinese Veterinary Acupuncture":
"science-based medicine and vitalism
are ‘incommensurable’ because a
‘scientific revolution’ has replaced
one paradigm by another";
[Animals 2019, 9, 168;
doi:10.3390/ani9040168]
b) the journal Chiropractic and Manual Therapies:
in
"A Perspective on Councils on Chiropractic
Education Accreditation
Standards and
Processes from the Inside: A Narrative
Description of
Expert Opinion Part 2:
Analyses of Particular Responses to
Research
Findings":
"non-evidence-based
philosophies such as
vitalism and subluxation theory [...] a lack of
standardization of site inspection is seen by the
presence within the
same CCE of CPs who
openly adopt a vitalist focused curriculum and
those
who have signed a declaration that vitalism
has no place in the modern
curriculum, as the
belief that it is the cause of disease is
unsupported
by any type of evidence";

002. video link and commentary:
002.a. Asplin, K. (ND Bastyr 2015), Hacker, L.(ND Bastyr 2019) state in "What is Naturopathic Medicine" (2019):

"[from the description] we often get asked what naturopathic medicine entails, so we thought we'd make a video about it [...] we focus on preventative medicine and use natural therapies to support the body in healing itself [...] naturopathic philosophy is also unique because it believes in the vital force [...from the video] Dr. Kelsey [...and] Dr. Lauren [...who ask] what is naturopathic medicine? [...] the philosophy of naturopathic medicine [...] the think that probably differentiates naturopathic medicine from almost any other kind of therapy out there [...] to help support the body in its ability to heal itself [...] the expression of a greater thing going on in the body [...] there's another thing that makes naturopathic medicine unique, and that's the vis [...] the healing vital force that we believe every person has [...] similar to qi [...or] prana [...] the vital force is that which moves, animates the body [...] and connects us all [...] it's like the force that is there between everyone [...] a very good piece about our philosophy [...]";
ye old science-ejected vitalism.
"[from the video, schooling includes] the naturopathic specialties [...such as] homeopathy [...] we have a huge toolkit [...] we empower patients through education [...] we like to operate from a place of physiology [...] a truly integrative approach to health [...] patient centered patient focused [...] awesome [...from the description] we are trained in all the naturopathic modalities, which include:
botanical medicine, homeopathy, counseling, nutrition, physical
medicine, and hydrotherapy [...]";
and that junk. So they treat the vital force, AND they operate from the position of physiology, but physiology is a subset of biology and biology has ejected vitalism for decades. So, welcome to the loopy.
