@cowy1 My favorite comments are the ones that complain about lack of credibility, yet do nothing to give even the illusion of credibility. I’m assuming that you have at least spoken to some of the 6 year track board certified practicing naturopathic physicians while researching your soon to be released dissertation regarding the merits of natural medicine. That would be a good place to start since you seem to be struggling. Good luck.

I am currently studying Natural medicine at the College of Naturopathic medicine in London. It’s a shame that we do not have regulation of Natruopaths here in the UK. Anyone can call themselves a Naturopathic Doctor, the term is not protected. It means that you could go to a ‘naturopathic doctor’ with limited training and be unconvinced of the benefits of natural medicine. It’s a shame because natural medicine is THE way to cure yourself of and prevent almost all ailments.

Most Americans need it to be scientifically tested in order to prove it’s validity. Just the fact that it’s been used for hundreds, maybe thousands of years is not good enough for the masses.

“Science-based naturopathic education” is such a ignorant statement I don’t even know where to start. Naturopathy is not based on sound scientific principles and nearly all of the studies done are just terrible.

Most NDs want their life to be about serving a higher purpose. It is a calling to service for humanity.
All of us who went on to higher education have debts. Those who close to go to allopathic schools have huge debts. They now work for a sytem taken over by insurance companies whose only interest in health is that of making a buck off of someone’s suffering. All of us in nonprofit, education, human services will never be monetarily rich — but rich in spirit

Prospective ND …
Prospective ND students: Please do your homework and objectively determine the feasibility of practicing once you graduate. A six figure debt, the possibility of more loans to open a practice, and a degree not much recognized outside the natural medicine community could make life difficult indeed. Start by asking the alumni department for accurate statistics compiled from alumni surveys and also feel out the size of the potential job market for naturopaths before making your decision.

Nice work! It makes me want to go there. I just don’t know if I can afford it.
