College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia: False COVID-19 Claims Are Forbidden, Amidst Permitted Typically False General Claims

here, you can't make this stuff up:

001. at Radio Canada International [rcinet.ca], in "Beware of Claims for COVID-19 Protection", Marc Montgomery writes [2020 archived]:

"amid a variety of scams surrounding the novel coronavirus, comes a warning from the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia (CNPBC) [...]";

now, for skeptics, sCAM often stands for so-called complementary and alternative medicine too.  More on naturopathy as a sCAM below.

"[specifically] the warning says that the College has become aware that some members are promoting certain treatments and/or supplements as a way to boost the immune system to ward off infection from the novel coronavirus [...and states] 'any statements by naturopathic doctors about the prevention and/or treatment of COVID-19, beyond the information made available by the public health authorities are inappropriate, potentially harmful, and likely to violate the CNPBC's Advertising Policy and/or Immunization Standard [...such as] vitamin booster shots, and a 'HiDose Ozone/UVBI IV' treatment [...]";

so, a certain line is drawn.  Yet, naturopathy has its own line when it comes to claiming such things as 'science subset naturopathy', which is not a categorically true label.

002. one version of the typical naturopathy sCAM is claiming the label "science-based" upon such things as homeopathy and acupuncture:

002.a. Victoria, BC:

"[from here] naturopathic doctors (NDs) are physicians who are clinically trained in modern scientific medicine and have a natural, holistic and gentle approach to health care. To become a naturopathic doctor, students must first complete a science-based undergraduate degree, followed by four years at an accredited naturopathic medical school, and finally complete rigorous board examinations. In order to practice naturopathic medicine in British Columbia, they must then be recognized by the College of Naturopathic Medicine of British Columbia [...] treatment plans draw from a varied array of healing traditions including (but not limited to) [...] homeopathic medicine [amongst other things listed...]";

that's NDs Forrest, Blanks, and Sarrasin who each expressedly stated "BSc, ND" in their bio.s.  As if the basis of naturopathy is regulated, rigorous science.  That mentioned exam falsely labels homeopathy a "clinical science" to this day.

002.b. Vancouver, BC:

"patients can expect an effective blend core, science based, naturopathic modalities along with contemporary specialized procedures [from here...including] homeopathy [from here and here...and] acupuncture [from here...]";

that's NDs Swetlikoff, White, Fujibayashi, Tamburic, Kuprowsky, Jamal and van Poelgeest.

003. business as usual.  Anyone sense a kind of...contradiction?
