Safety of natural treatments

Naturopaths often recommend exposure to naturally occurring substances, such as sunshine, herbs and certain foods, as well as activities they describe as natural, such as exercise, meditation and relaxation. Naturopaths claim that these natural treatments help restore the body’s innate ability to heal itself without the adverse effects of conventional medicine. However, “natural” methods and chemicals are not necessarily safer or more effective than “artificial” or “synthetic” ones, and any treatment capable of eliciting an effect may also have deleterious side effects.

Certain naturopathic treatments offered by naturopaths, such as homeopathy, rolfing, and iridology, are widely considered pseudoscience or quackery. Stephen Barrett of QuackWatch and the National Council Against Health Fraud has stated that naturopathy is “simplistic and that its practices are riddled with quackery”. “Non-scientific health care practitioners, including naturopaths, use unscientific methods and deception on a public who, lacking in-depth health care knowledge, must rely upon the assurance of providers. Quackery not only harms people, it undermines the ability to conduct scientific research and should be opposed by scientists”, says William T. Jarvis. In the 2018 Australian case against Marlyin Bodnar, who advised a mother to treat her infant son’s eczema with a raw food diet which nearly led to the child’s starvation death, Judge Peter Berman said, “Well intentioned but seriously misguided advice is, as the facts of this case demonstrate, capable of causing great harm and even death to vulnerable children.” Furthermore, Britt Hermes criticizes the “pervasive culture of patient blaming” among naturopathic practitioners, where “when something doesn’t work for the patient and the patient is not experiencing all of the positive effects and zero side-effects that are promised with the therapy, it’s never because the therapy doesn’t work, it’s because the patient didn’t do something right. # iso certification in india

Licensed naturopaths

Licensed naturopaths may be referred to as “naturopathic doctors” or “naturopathic physicians” in 26 US states or territories and 5 Canadian provinces. Licensed naturopaths present themselves as primary care providers. Licensed naturopaths do not receive comparable training to medical doctors in terms of the quality of education or quantity of hours. # iso certification in india

In British Columbia, legislation permits licensed naturopaths to use the title “doctor” or “physician”. However, section 102 of the bylaw of the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia (CNPBC), the terms “naturopathic” or “naturopathic medicine” must be included anytime the term doctor or physician is used by a member of the CNPBC. # iso certification in india
