Changelog 2021-10-10 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.a. in the ND Reebs YouTube video, as interviewed by ND Alter, "Alter Your Health #30 Dr. Ben Reebs: A Quantum Talk on Vitalism and Individualized Healthcare" [saved 2021-10], we're told by ND Reebs:

" I think that’s where I first experienced vitalism, and I didn’t even know what it was […] the word vitalism […] there’s this intelligence […] this wave, this potential, this field of information […] one of the ways that I approach my patients or clients is not as a particle but as a wave […] the vital force […] the vital force is on a different level […] that quantum level […] I use a homeopathic probably about 2/3 of the time [for this…] I believe that sometimes homeopathy even works even if you don’t give it […] it’s up to the vital force […] the body heals itself with assistance from all of these forces […] and everything that vitalism has known for centuries […] the vital force, the vis medicatrix […] I’m a dyed in the wool vitalist […] this is in the science […] I’m a huge, huge fan of science and of evidence-based medicine";

yeah. 

002.b. additionally, in the podcast "105: The Serpent and the Butterfly: Seven Laws of Healing w/ Dr. Ben Reebs" (2020-06), at naturalpath.net, we're told by ND Reebs:

“so the first law is the law of vitality […] this idea of the vital force, of the vis or the vis medicatrix naturae, this innate healing capacity, this idea that the body is always working to heal itself. Its always working for us to restore normal structure and function […] an innate programming in the very cells of our biology […] this law […] the healing power of nature […] this vitality […disease is caused by] weak vitality […] deficiency and toxicity […cause] the vital force to get weak […] the innate healing capacity […] the vital force not only responds to food and environment but it also responds to thoughts and feelings […] if we haven’t worked on the vital force a little bit or addressed it then not very much is going to happen. And so that’s really where I start.  For me I usually just use a homeopathic remedy […] just by intending to get well that can raise the vital force […there’s also for that] acupuncture, hydrotherapy, ways to kind of bump that vital force a little bit […] I’m just a guide, just an assistant of the vital force [...] just a colleague of the vital force […] not every patient is ready for vitalism […] everyone including vitalists […] homeopathics [...will] stimulate that vital force […EMF] damages the vital force […the] vital force isn’t quite sparking […]";

so, ye old science-ejected vitalism again.  But, of course since it is naturopathy, we also get again:

 
“science actually proves it […] a form of art that’s grounded in science”;

because of course science proves and grounds what is outside of science or scientifically refuted.

002.c. and of course, his alma mater NUNM is where all this begins:

002.c1. aka, an overarching:

"paradigm of vitalism";

which is the science-ejected.

002.c2. yet claimed to survive scientific scrutiny on the NUNM page "College of Naturopathic Medicine" [2021 archived]:

"the practice of naturopathic medicine emerges from six principles of healing. These principles are based on the objective observation of the nature of health and disease, and are examined continually in light of scientific analysis. These principles stand as the distinguishing marks of the profession [...] our mission is to educate and train physicians, practitioners and pre-professionals in the art, science and research of natural medicine";

science, science, science.  Ah, the epistemic fascism marches on...
