Changelog 2020-05-12 and ND Video

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!]

"if you look at the Wikipedia page for naturopathic medicine it is completely incorrect [...]";

well, there's a great opportunity to revisit that Wikipedia page.  It tells us, currently: "naturopathy or naturopathic medicine is a form of alternative medicine that employs an array of pseudoscientific practices branded as 'natural', 'non-invasive', or promoting 'self-healing'. The ideology and methods of naturopathy are based on vitalism and folk medicine, rather than evidence-based medicine (EBM). Naturopathic practitioners generally recommend against following modern medical practices, including but not limited to medical testing, drugs, vaccinations, and surgery. Instead, naturopathic practice relies on unscientific notions, often leading naturopaths to diagnoses and treatments that have no factual merit [...] while some naturopaths claim to only practice evidence based medicine, 'the problem is, all naturopaths in an accredited naturopathic program are required to extensively study homeopathy, herbal medicine, energy healing, chiropractic techniques, water therapy' and other pseudoscientific practices [...] naturopathy is considered by the medical profession to be ineffective and harmful, raising ethical issues about its practice. In addition to condemnations and criticism from the medical community, such as the American Cancer Society, naturopaths have repeatedly been denounced as and accused of being charlatans and practicing quackery."  This is correct, not incorrect.

"conventional medicine typically looks at treating the symptoms we look at how we can treat the actual root cause of the problem [...]";

so, that's that antimedical aspect of naturopathy, which accuses medicine of basically, systematically being WRONG and naturopathy being RIGHT.  Oh the reversal of values!

"and we do this through different modalities including [...] acupuncture, botanical treatments [..] supplements [...] homeopathic medicine [...] naturopathic medicine is really great for chronic diseases and chronic symptoms because we are actually looking for the root cause [...]";

so, them quackeries and promises, promises.

"we also strive to work alongside conventional medicine [...] allopathic or conventional medicine [...] ";

an odd statement once one realizes that she basically called modern medicine unethical.  Yet, a good partner?!

"that is important to know because that is a misconception [...]";

ah, now that we're mentioned misconceptions.  Naturopathy itself, at its essence, is a misconception!  Like at her school, CCNM, we're told the category of naturopathy is "science" while within, there's such things as homeopathy.
"naturopathic medicine strives to support the body's natural ability to heal [...] everybody's body has natural ways of healing [...]";

and that is coded vitalism.

"that is really what naturopathic medicine is [...]";

actually, I'd go with the Wikipedia entry.
