Selectively Imposed Science Requirements: B.C. Naturopath Argues in Court NDs Not Bound by Science

here, ah, contradictions within contradictions:

001. CBC.ca’s Bethany Lindsay reports in “B.C. College Defends Naturopathy in Court, Says It Isn't an 'Anything Goes' Profession”:

“the lawyer for B.C.'s naturopathic regulator has pushed back on a suggestion that the profession is not ‘bound by science’ during a court hearing related to one naturopath's business producing fecal transplants for autistic children. The College of Naturopathic Physicians of B.C. is fighting two court petitions filed by Jason Klop, who is asking a judge to limit the investigations into his practice and quash his ban on manufacturing, advertising and selling pills and enemas made from human feces. In B.C. Supreme Court on Wednesday, college lawyer Angela Westmacott addressed an argument from Klop's lawyer, who has claimed his client isn't obligated to follow traditional scientific evidence because naturopaths are ‘not bound by science.’ Westmacott pointed to provisions in the college's code of conduct and prescribing standards that suggest naturopaths must follow evidence-based practices. ‘This notion that it's anything goes, in my respectful submission, that's not accurate,’ she said […]”;

there’s a lot of scatololia here, for sure, in many directions.  So the ND states 'leave me alone I'm not bound by science', which is actually quite true about naturopathy.  The regulator then states 'oh yes you are', which is quite FALSE actually.  Oh what a tangled web we weave...

002. regulated B.C. naturopathy, where anything goes, of a kind:

002.a. BCNA, their guild organization so to speak, tells us naturopathy is "science-based natural medicine" while in that is homeopathic medicine.  Essentially, we're told anything goes as science;

002.b. the B.C. school falsely postures homeopathy as a clinical science;

003. so I beg to differ, it seems anything goes, in a certain sectarian manner. There's the overarching posture of pseudoscience, and then there's the manipulative 'oh no we're not that at all' false posture. The truth is that they're science standards are shit, but when it comes to shit, science standards are falsely posed.
