Tu No Feco! - BC ND Klop Not Allowed to Engage in Fecal Transplant Tourism

here, the BC ND 'regulator' CNPBC takes a stand on fecal transplants while I also point out the BCNA takes a long-standing false position regarding naturopathy's epistemic status:

001.in "Taking Children With Autism to Mexico for Fecal Transplants 'Out of Scope' for Naturopaths, Regulator Says" (2020-01-14):


"B.C. naturopaths are not authorized to transport young patients to another country in order to treat autism with fecal microbiota transplants [...] the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia [CNPBC] has confirmed [...] B.C. naturopaths are not permitted to perform FMT for any reason [...] BCNA executive director Glenn Caissie [sp., Cassie] said that suspending Klop's membership is 'the most serious step we can take' [...]";

Cassie is interesting.  See 002.

002. Cassie, who is not a naturopath, writes at BCNA in "The Nature of Naturopathy" [2020 archived]:

"naturopathic medicine is science based natural medicine [...of]  a science-based platform [...]  the same scientific fashion of allopathic care [...]";

yet, of course, this is not categorically true.  Who will sanction BCNA?  CNPBC?  Don't hold your breath...
