What is Naturopathy and Naturopathic doctors? Austin Natural Medicine

[Vadnay3]

Nice rope bridge ! .. I wonder if she would be willing to cross it?

[DreamWeaver1988]

Quack alert!

[AirnergyAG]

I wish you continued success.

Das Video ist man toll gemacht.

Ich wünsche weiter viel Erfolg.

[blabby102]

I don't understand? She says Naturopathic medicine helps the body heal itself? How is this different to most regular medicine?

Mainly treat the cause? How is this different to modern medicine?

Treat the whole person? Emotional cause? Physical cause? How is this different to my doctor that tailor makes my treatment to me?

Prescribe lifestyle or dietary changes? My doctor bugs me about this all the time.

[elohelreh]

I have no proof this is going to do anything that's worth my time and energy but when the Dr. started recommending education in addition to healing, I was impressed. I've never met a Dr. that wanted to educate me about what's up with me on the inside.

[Jeraminal]

@elohelreh I'm sorry to hear that none of the doctors you've met have spent as much time as they should have explaining/educating. Don't give up the search: I've met both kinds of doctors - I just don't ever go back to the ones that don't spend enough time.

But please don't be fooled by the warm fuzzy words from this video. You hit the nail on the head: the "education" they offer isn't "proof" at all, it's just a sales pitch to convince you that proof is not necessary!

[elohelreh]

@Jeraminal I do the same - never go back to a Dr who isn't worth my time. I do have proof that neurotoxins and the like are promoted by the medical field so I guess I am waiting on proof that natural medicine does anything. If that never comes, oh well.

[Jeraminal]

@elohelreh Would you mind sharing with us your proof about "neurotoxins and the like" being promoted?

[elohelreh]

@Jeraminal Flouride is recommended as an anti-cavity remedy by dentists.

[Jeraminal]

@elohelreh I am disappointed. You claimed to have proof. But what you provided is simply a refinement of your claim: you narrowed it to make it much more specific. That is not proof of anything.

Would you mind sharing with us your proof?

[elohelreh]

@Jeraminal Quite right, I fail. Good on you for trolling looking for people to prove wrong.

[Jeraminal]

@elohelreh And now I'm hurt by your assumption that I would not pay heed to your proof. I would be a fool if I ignored solid evidence. Why do you withhold it from me?

[elohelreh]

@elohelreh Quite right, I fail = I have no proof.

[Jeraminal]

@elohelreh And now I'm sad. I was looking forward to learning something new, but I guess I'll have to look elsewhere.

Evaluating proof claims is a difficult process, but it can be fun. But when those claims involve medical treatments it can become a matter of life and death. Please, everyone, treat it seriously.

Sorry for sounding trollish. I didn't mean to. Best of luck to you!

[DaithiDublin]

Yes, plants and herbs have been a great source of healing through the ages. We examined them, and the ones that work we call medicine. The rest is just pot pourri.

[uberjim83]

The overuse of the term "natural" can hurt your position by association, especially when there aren't any "non-natural" medicines.

[ORVX]

@mcmom33 lol, if u so. how come the brothers always like the fat nasty?

[lilmissglentoran]

@arachnophile01

Vaccines aren't harmless though, believe it or not, there hasn't been any proper safety studies on jabs. Did you know the placebo is either another vaccine or the vaccine vehicle when a placebo is stated as a compound which is neutral - in this case, saline would've been a better placebo. Vaccines also have highly neurotoxic compounds and remember they are INJECTED not ingested!

[BergenCafe]

how did you make that bridge?

[diomedes39]

Wow, homeopathy and hydrotherapy . . . .

[mermaid11236]

after a lot of heartache and money spent, i've come across a lot of naturopaths that are just as clueless as regular doctors. had to get my own answers from my own research

[pick8lock]

@mermaid11236 look homepathic stuff doesnt work BUT bodys natrul detox

[mermaid11236]

@pick8lock had to learn that the hard way :-(

[ahmedshinwari]

@mermaid11236 What are you guys talking about?

[mermaid11236]

@ahmedshinwari been thru hell with some naturopathic that didn't know what they were doing either. i spent alot of money but ended up figuring out what was wrong with me by doing my own research.

[ahmedshinwari]

@mermaid11236 Ok, that sounds like you finally had it. Good to know.

[questions117]

My dad is a chiropractor. :-) And I want to be a holistic vet so basically treat animals naturally too... :)

[tunabomber111]

watch?v=BWE1tH93G9U

[tunabomber111]

We know that the sum of all the scientific evidence shows clearly that homeopathic remedies are no more effective than placebos. This does not mean that patients don't feel better or actually get better after seeing a homeopath. That is quite another matter and is clearly the reason for the satisfied customers. (Here the reader might consult the entries on the placebo effect, the post hoc fallacy and the regressive fallacy.)

[SphincterBoyJenkins]

@mcmom33 YES. THIS. LMAO.

[Balzy73]

I have a 32 year old brother dying with an enlarged heart and leaking valves. Bloodwork came back great, blood pressure-good. The doctors dont know why. Is there anything you could recommend as a natural cure? Hes on beta blockers and a bunch of other meds.

[gar949]

@ORVX why do you watch then...muchless coment? 

[ORVX]

@gar949 because one in a while they get away from there feminist propoganda bullshit and acatully put up somthing of value. regardless we both know this bicth is a twit and a waste of space.

[gaura]

Nice

[totakeke]

That study is just one of MANY MANY controlled studies that have proven that homeopathy works. The problem is that you never hear about them on the news, why!? Because of MONEY! Money rules the world and it rules the media. The pharmaceutical companies have such a stranglehold over our media - every commercial segment on any network usually contains at least 1 pharmaceutical ad.

Pharmaceutical companies do not want to lose customers or money, so you will never hear about the truth on TV.

[Jeraminal]

@totakeke, I have just one question: What prevents those pharmaceutical companies from selling homeopathic "solutions" ?

They could make bajillions of 'MONEY' using their good names to sell homeopathic "solutions". And we all know that making bajillions is their goal. But I only see ads on my TV for non-homeopathic remedies. That's curious, don't you think?

[multiversedancer]

@Jeraminal Not going to happen. The goal is population control and enslaving the world. Killing us off as fast as they can.

[Jeraminal]

@multiversedancer If that was their goal then they would be pushing homeopathy for everything. They would get to charge an outrageous price for what is really just water, and when that sip of water fails to cure whatever ails you - well, they are richer and the population is decreased. Not to mention all they would save on research and testing!

[MegaAstrodude]

@Jeraminal ,

Homeopathy is a huge business and many pharmacy companies sell homeopathic products. CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid, and others carry homeopathic remedies just because people buy them. They don't work. The pharmacists will even tell you they don't work if you ask them, but people still buy them.

[Jeraminal]

@MegaAstrodude - you are absolutely right about the retailers profiteering (but please see my followup comment for an anecdote) and you are also correct in saying that these "remedies" work exactly as well as water and yet people still purchase them.

but i wasn't talking about that... i was responding to the absurd conspiracy theory that 'pharmaceutical companies know that homeopathy works' (to paraphrase). obviously they know how ineffective it is, and that's why their focus is elsewhere.

[Jeraminal]

@Jeraminal lives halfway between two CVSes.

if i go 2 miles to the west the shelves have plenty of homeopathic "remedies" (prominently displayed right next to their cheaper CVS brand equivalent). but if i go 2 miles to the east there aren't any "CVS brand equivalent"s on the shelves at all, and the homeopathic shtuff is there but hard to find.

[Jeraminal]

@Jeraminal (clarification of "there aren't any "CVS brand equivalent"s on the shelves at all": obviously there are plenty of CVS brand equivalents of the things that work)

[uberjim83]

@totakeke Or because they don't stand up to peer review when they make it onto the real research journals.

[blabby102]

@totakeke Could you please update the Wikipedia page on Homeopathy to include references to these MANY MANY controlled studies you talk about.

Wikipedia is the first source that most people turn to when researching Homeopathy. If the information there is wrong, why don't you correct it?

[OChubbyO]

@totakeke And naturpoaths aren't that altruistic either - I see lots of them with big houses a stable of arabian horses etc as well. And the companies that make all those "natural" supplements that are prescribed aren't doing it for free as well.

[totakeke]

Homeopathy is very much grounded in science. It works based on resonating frequency.

Luc Montagnier, the discoverer of HIV, conducted a study that proved homeopathy works in this basis. Another study proved homeopathy works, look the following query up on Google. It will come up with the study:

"Histamine dilutions modulate basophil activation "

[arachnophile01]

@totakeke When did science prove that the "essence" that forms the founding principle of homeopathy even exists?

[totakeke]

Evidence based medicine is HARDLY evidenced based. Look up the following query on Google:

"Placebo fraud rocks the very foundation of modern medical science; thousands of clinical trials invalidated"

Mainstream 'medicine' is fraught with corruption. Scientists need funding in order to conduct research, and that funding often comes from the very pharmaceutical interests that stand to gain from results that are in favor of pharm drugs.

[Jeraminal]

@totakeke - so there is zero corruption in alternative medicine? None of its practitioners need funding because they are just doing out of the goodness of their hearts?

I see a troubling future for you, one where you will be separated from a very large chunk of your cash.

[lilmissglentoran]

LOL, I call MDs quackery, I agree with Dr Fritz, there is so much of the body we don't know about, so what if they use treatments science doesn't understand. The method works and if you get the treatment wrong, it doesn't kill you. Pjarmaceuticals however if given in wrong doses do kill people. I'd go with naturopathy anytime and more importantly, the BIGGEST quackery is Vaccines

[rafarodrizal]

Excelente explicacion....Gracias...

[12quillemall5321]

Naturopathic are like chiropractors, they may attend medical school but they are not M.D.s.

[tunabomber111]

There is also a risk that ailments that cannot be diagnosed by naturopaths will go untreated while a patient attempts treatment programs designed by their naturopath. Certain naturopathic treatments, such as homeopathy, rolfing, and iridology, are widely considered pseudoscience or quackery. Non-scientific health care practitioners, including naturopaths, use unscientific methods and deception on a public who, lacking in-depth health care knowledge, must rely upon the assurance of providers.

[deandro985]

homeopathy, HEYY dats what my parents use and i do too xD
