Importance of naturopathy?

I think naturopathy is very important because it is so dangerous. Naturopaths are quack practitioners who often give people dangerous advice. People have died taking naturopathic advice.

There was a woman with diabetes who was told by her naturopathic 'doctor' to stop taking insulin and prescribed her pure cain sugar and some multi-vitamins. She died. He got a year or two in prison.

Naturopathic practices have no standards of evidence. They are money sinks at best and dangerous at worst.

Quacks, all of them.

Here are other examples:
Lorie Atikan age 17 months: Lorie's parents, concerned about modern food additives, were advised to give her an organic vegetarian diet. She was also treated with herbal & homeopathic remedies and an energy machine. Her parents were convicted of neglect.

Lucille Craven, 54, concealed the diagnosis of breast cancer from her family. She secretly consulted a naturopath and took homeopathic remedies. She also used quack treatments like blood irradiation. Her cancer raged out of control and she died.

Vecko Krstecki, 37. Died. Vecko saw a naturopath for his chronic kidney condition. He was put on a "detoxification" program and lost 11kg in 10 days. The naturopath is on trial.

As usual people focus on the negative stories related to naturopathy and it's practioners. There are many success stories too. Naturopathy has helped some people where all other treatments failed. You just have to be careful when choosing a practioner, in the same way you should be careful about choosing any form of healthcare provider. And has common sense suddenly gone out of fashion?! If something doesn't feel/ sound right, DON'T DO IT! We were all blessed with a brain, some of us need to exercise them more.
