看到有人極其無知地用所謂主流的觀點來貶低ND，我就說說我所知道的ND：

他們要接受下麵的教育和訓練（在美國）：

4 year of pre-med education from an academic institution

4 years of naturopathic medical education (from fully accredited naturopathic medical schools)

900 hours of clinical supervision

pass national board exams

pass astate board exams

25 hours of continuing medical education credits each year


雖然我對他們治療癌症並沒有特別研究，但他們能治愈以下慢性疾病：Osteoporosis， Fibronmyalgia, Osteopenia, Osteopenia, Rheumatoid arthritis, Kidney stones, Insomnia, Carpal Tunnel, Depression, KIdney disease, ADD, High Blodd Pressure, Osteo-Arthritis, DOwn's Sysdrome, Migraine Headaches, asthma celiac disease, Type 2 Diabetes等等。

這比西醫隻能manage慢性病強多了。Natropathic medical treatments are designed to support and promote the healthy function and human body.They stimulate the body's built-in self healing mechanisms. More often than not, the treatments delivered by Natropaths help people to completely recover from whatever illness they have been suffering from. 這種治病理念和我們的中醫相似。

西醫隻是醫學的一部分，遠不是醫學的全部。記住這點，無論用什麽方法治病，就不會局限在有限的視野裏，因為對路的治病方法有異曲同工之處。能治病才是王道。

以後有時間再挖掘亂象的成因和深厚的根源。
