I have a 13+ years of post secondary training in medicine/sciences and I agree with everything Troutman has to say.
The "scientific intricacies" of naturopathic medicine are based on the weakest of scientific merit, if any. Non-blinded trials, inadequate samples, confounding bias galore, uncontrolled variables, statistically insignificant differences reported as significant, laughable inclusion/exclusion criteria.....the list goes on and on. I've read many published papers on homeopathic remedies (including reviewing all the ColdFx papers, totally spurious by the way) and the overwhelming majority are garbage.
