Changelog 2021-01-25 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!]

002. video link and commentary:

002.a. Flynn, D. (ND Bastyr 1999) states in "What Focusing Means to Me - Dawn Flynn" (2021):

.

[tags: #NDFlynn #focusing]

.

"[from the description] Dawn is a naturopathic physician, acupuncturist, and certified focusing teacher practicing in Renton, Washington. She is an Assistant Teacher at the Seattle Focusing Institute. She enjoys teaching Focusing to health care practitioners and helps individuals experience the interconnection of their physical, mental and emotional aspects for long lasting health and transformation. More about Dawn Flynn [...] wholebody-holistic.com";

so let's go there.  And one thing to keep in mind is that naturopathy requires TCM in its general curriculum, though some jurisdictions make practitioners get the LAc one sees nationally that also stands alone.  For instance, in British Columbia, the typical list a practitioner will post to the public includes TCM/acupuncture and its qi [as well as homeopathy and its vital force] but vitalism will be coded in the iterated naturopathy principles.

002.b. at the ND's practice:

002.b1. there's a version of coded vitalism, in "About Dr Dawn Flynn" [2021 archived]:

"Dawn Flynn, ND [...] her main orientation is emphasizing body awareness, engaging the innate healing capacity of the body [...] Dawn is honored to be invited into each person’s process of healing and recovery";

and then we get the gift of a 'Rosetta Stone explicit synonym chain' for that vitalism...

002.b2. in "Services" [2021 archived]:

"acupuncture is based on the understanding that all living things have an integrated force that maintains and directs life. This is true whether that living thing is human, plant, or animal. This force is a form of energy that underlies all biophysical and biochemical processes, and separates living from non-living matter. In Chinese medicine this force is called 'qi' but it is also known in other systems of medicine as life force, vital force, innate intelligence, and prana. Disturbance to this vital force can come from emotional sources such as shock, trauma, betrayal, prolonged grief, long lasting anxiety, fear, disappointment or from physical sources such as viruses and bacteria, exposure to extreme temperatures, injuries, and malnutrition [...] acupuncture removes obstacles and strengthens the life force of the body, bringing it back to optimal functioning and harmonious health. Very fine needles are inserted into specific points along meridians in the body and assist in redirecting qi, much like water is directed through an irrigation system, bringing life force to the cells, tissues, and organs where it is needed most";

and therein we have vitalism collectively as innate healing capacity = process of healing and recover = integrated force = force = energy = qi = life force = vital force = innate intelligence =prana.  Yet, her alma mater BU continues to tell us that this science-ejected stuff is "science-based."  Where am I at now, with this falsehood?  Since the mid-1990s...about a quarter century of lies.
