My good friend is currently studying to be an ND (Doctor of Naturopathy) in Toronto. His program is four years and based on what he tells me, is as rigorous as medical school. It also requires an undergraduate science degree and is extremely competitive to get into.
My view is that as long as one doesn't alienate regular medicine, naturopathy can, at best, help and at worst, do no harm.
