Also, it's very important to ensure that an N.D. is reputable. As with any profession, there are good and bad N.D.s. My N.D. helped my mom with some of her troubles in 2005. I asked my doctor, and he said that even he can't argue with some of the things the N.D. recommends. No, an N.D. is not a doctor, but they are highly educated in their field. Everything that they tell you to take is natural, so again, what's the harm in trying?
The other thing I like about naturopath is everything is about you, the patient. It's not "This is Bob, who's got chronic headaches. We are giving him treatment X because that's what works for everyone else." Naturopath is more like, "This is Bob, with chronic headaches. We are looking into treating Bob with treatment Y, because given what we know about Bob and his headaches, not other people's headaches, this should work." So it's a nicer feeling in some ways to be treated like this, for me anyway.
