Basically, if you have a mystery illness that doesn't go away after years of regular treatment, going to a naturopath is not a bad idea at all. Go in with a skeptical mind, but you might be surprised as well. In any case, if you've been suffering for years, what's the harm?

No harm at all... unless you end up spending $$$ on quack medicines and treatments that have no scientifically proven benefit. I also assume that the visit to the naturopathic
doctor wasn't free.
I also have a problem with these anecdotal stories about someone who went to dozens of MD's and nobody could solve their medical mystery.... and then they went to a naturopathic
doctor and voila... the mystery was solved and they've been cured.
