My view is that as long as one doesn't alienate regular medicine, naturopathy can, at best, help and at worst, do no harm.

I agree bcb
Some skeptics don't believe in Chiropractics, yet people hobble into Chiropractor's offices every day in pain, and walk out minutes later pain free.
Most people go to traditional Doctors first, if that fails, they seek alternatives.
My Doctor referred me for a CT scan for back (sciatica) pain, I couldn't wait so I went to a Chiropractor, he fixed me up in one visit.
100 yrs. ago traditional medical doctors thought they knew everything, we know now they didn't. Your crazy if you think they do now.
The Naturopathic Doctors do 3 years pre med, and then 4 years of intense Naturopathic studies, most do more. Not exactly the "quacks" skeptics would have you believe.
I've got an initial consultation booked, referred by a dietitian. I suppose the sceptics don't believe in dietitians either.
