Antibiotics aren’t ‘strong’ or ‘weak’. They are: - Indicated or not indicated - Broad or narrow spectrum - Dosed correctly or incorrectly What matters is effectiveness, not ‘strength’...

Let me make it crystal clear for you & every other naturopath: Making the public believe in any way that you are a medical physician or surgeon when you are not: - is foolish - is immoral - is dangerous - should be legally banned It’s that simple. But few of you seem to care.

Seems there is some confusion in Twitter-land. Just to clarify: we are an accredited four-year medical college. Our graduates receive a doctor of naturopathic medicine degree (ND). Students are educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD or DO.

Naturopaths: “We’re science based!! 🤗” Also naturopaths: “We do: - Homeopathy - ‘Cease’ therapy - Detoxing - Cleanses - IV vitamins - Bowen technique - ‘Chelation’ therapy - Immune boosters”... So basically, you’re ‘science based’... ...except for everything you do. 🤨🤦‍♂️

Patients should never have to squeeze in a comment of ‘just one more thing’ at the end of a doctor visit... ...the health care system should be designed so the physician has time to ask them: ‘Is there something else you’d like to discuss today...?’

1/n Dear naturopaths, Many (nearly all) of you seem very confused about who has ‘toxins’ & what needs ‘cleansing’. You are needlessly scaring many people, & wasting their time & money. Since you seem to have little understanding of this, here are some important details...
