Changelog 2022-10-11 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 “Oct 2022 – ‘Naturopathic Medicine: A Distinct System of Primary Health Care’ - Allison Becker, ND Lac” [saved 2022-10], Becker, A. (ND NUNM) tells us in the "UW - Department of Family Medicine and Community Health" account's video:

"[science claims such as] the profession has evolved into one based more on science […] in 1910, the Flexner Report was published […] to established biomedical sciences as foundation for medical school […] modern naturopathic medicine is more grounded in science […] modern naturopathic medicine is more grounded fundamentally in science […] who are naturopathic doctors trained […] basic and clinical sciences, same biomedical sciences as an MD, DO […] take national board exams (NPLEX) […] we take the same basic and clinical sciences as other medical professionals, also understanding pathophysiology and diagnosis of disease in the same way […] studying the same biomedical sciences […] accredited ND schools in US and Canada […include] National University of Health Sciences […and] Sonoran University of Health Sciences […]";

ah that broad science claim upon such things as homeopathy, vitalism, the supernatural, and fantastical things like craniosacral therapy.

"[such coded vitalism as] emphasizes […the] self-healing processes […] and really codified the philosophy of naturopathic medicine […] 6 guiding principles of an ND […] we always are guided by these same principles […] probably things that you already do in your own practice […#5] stimulate the healing power of nature […] this is something we’re always trying to do […] a lot of that is about living a healthier lifestyle [...] how a naturopathic doctor thinks […] thinking like an ND […] therapeutic order […] #2 stimulate self-healing mechanisms […] stimulate self-healing mechanisms […] stimulate self-healing […]";

 and that’s all she says, no transparency regarding vitalism -- instead diversion / coding. Ye shall not be transparent.  Wow.  Though it is in state legislation, such as Hawaii, explicitly stated. But we were told at the beginning "my intention today is to help you understand and appreciate the field and practice of naturopathic medicine."  Right.  At her alma mater, though -- she a freaking NUNM graduate FFS -- we get that transparent vitalism that is not shared in this video.

 "[and regarding licensure] in March of 2022, Governor Evers signed our bill into law […] 2021 Wisconsin Act 130 […] our law […] with our recent licensure […] the benefits of licensure […] so why do we want licensure for naturopathic medicine? […] licensure fundamentally creates educational standards for naturopathic doctors […] creating educational standards is the fundamental piece of licensure that really distinguishes a naturopathic doctor from anybody else […these] federally accredited programs […] they also have to have passed national board exams […]  most states also have state jurisprudence exams for licensure […] licensure also ensures that NDs maintain continuing education […] if somebody calls themselves a naturopathic doctor in the state of Wisconsin now that we have licensure […] you know, oh this person is trained to this level […] it also protects the public in that way […] licensure creates a system for governmental oversight […] recourse […] there’s recourse for patient claims […and licensure provides] medical malpractice insurance […] licensure also enforces the ethical standards of practice […] through the state board […]";

that actually international exam, for U.S. and Canada, falsely claims homeopathy is a clinical science, setting the tone from the top: pseudoscience.  Therein, licensure is protection to self-regulate naturopathic licensed falsehood.  And regarding educational standards, the ND/NMD granting schools teach to that epistemically nonsensical standard, broadly: science subset nonscience/science-ejected.  That is what their education is fundamentally.  In other areas of commerce, such fraud could be prosecuted, but an ND licensure law is a protection to practice falsehood.  So much for public protection and recourse.  Foxes ruling the hen house.  Wherein up is down, good is bad, unethicality is good.

 "medically trained [...] safe, sound, and quality care";

really, that's what she says.
