[quote=Anonymous][quote]Please dont say its quackery unless you tried it.[/quote] If someone thinks it's quackery, why would they try it in the first place? The simple answer is that, from a medical perspective, there is no peer reviewed study demonstrating that what naturopaths do is any better than placebo. Now, talking to someone in detail about your diet/health/etc. does have benefits, and the level of detail you go into when discussing things with a naturopath may have some stress-relief benefits. There is also some societal/economic study evidence that going to a naturopath may prevent you from taking meds that a MD might prescribe (e.g., reducing the overprescription problem), but that doesn't do anything that you couldn't do yourself by paying attention and actively discussing treatment with your MD.
