web.archive.org — I quote: "naturopathy is based on the premise [...the] belief in a vital energy or life force beyond the physical realm, although modern medicine has not found a way to measure this energy. When there is an illness or disease, the life force has become blocked in its ability to self-heal." Such vitalism is a sectarian metaphysical figment...

Naturopathy's 'life force' is as 'in fact scientific' as the Tooth Fairy. For naturopathy's essential vitalism, visit <a class="user" href="http://thevitalismofnaturopathy.blogspot.com/">http://thevitalismofnaturopathy.blogspot.com/</a> . For the essential nonscientific status of vitalism & kind, see <a class="user" href="http://novfsinscience.blogspot.com/">http://novfsinscience.blogspot.com/</a> . For naturopathy's claims that they (and such) are science-based / scientific / medical science anyway [!!!], see <a class="user" href="http://thesciencethataintscience.blogspot.com/">http://thesciencethataintscience.blogspot.com/</a> ."Danger, Will Robinson...pseudoscience!!!!" For the medical profession's ethical code pertaining to "the integrity & appropriate use of scientific knowledge," see <a class="user" href="http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/136/3/243">http://www.annals.org/cgi/content/full/136/3/243</a> . Visit <a class="user" href="http://aanpalliancesciencebasedclaim.blogspot.com/">http://aanpalliancesciencebasedclaim.blogspot.com/</a> too: "10 Fraudulent Years On - My UB, AANP-Alliance, FNPLA Naturopathy Education," a commemoration of the unprofessional, pseudoscientific, 'sectarian medicine' deception I experienced. 'Oh crap, this naturopathy is a fraudulent / unethical premise and they've been tricking a lot of people over the years into thinking they abide by the professional strictures of academic and medical science, when in fact they live in a cloud cuckoo-land. Wish they hadn't diverted me from something else, like actual medicine. I wouldn't owe all this student loan monies towards this unethical crap, and damn it, I've lost the income of a career in medicine.'
