here, a nice critical paragraph:
001. at psychologytoday.com, Jonathan Stea writes in "Pseudoscientific Treatments for Addiction Are Everywhere ... and They're Harmful" (2020-12-11):
"naturopathy, defined by the Canadian Association of Naturopathic Doctors, is an umbrella term for a host of treatments that adopt a philosophy 'to stimulate the healing power of the body [coded vitalism] and treat the underlying cause of disease.' Problematically, the precise nature of how naturopathy treats the underlying cause of addiction remains unclear and dependent upon the often implausible theoretical rationale for the particular naturopathic treatment. One such treatment is homeopathy, which is a pseudoscientific, widely discredited, and unsafe approach to health, wherein the final product is typically just distilled water. Unfortunately, naturopathic treatments for addiction are widely promoted in popular media and alternative medicine circles";
ah, yeah. And here's naturopathy by way of CAND claiming science [academics subset NUHS subset naturopathy] and within [subset] homeopathy and [subset] vitalism.
