"Naturopaths, to put it bluntly, are fake doctors.
They are fake because they do not have a professional standard of care
that is evidence-based and transparent. They have no standard of care –
literally anything goes. What they have is a very loose philosophy with a
vague appeal to nature fallacy. That’s it. They use an eclectic
combination of disproven, fanciful, and outright pseudoscientific
interventions. They may also give some basic nutrition advice, but even
there they cannot be trusted because they have no standard of evidence."
"Education is great but we clearly need better regulation. The state
should not licence professions without a system in place to ensure
external validity and transparency. They should not licence quacks and
then let them regulate themselves."
