About 'holistic health practitioner schools'|Back to School








Lately,               I've               been               hearing               a               lot               about               naturopathy,               a               type               of               alternative               medicine.

As               holistic               practitioners,               naturopaths               are               concerned               with               the               big               picture,               looking               at               a               patient's               mental               and               spiritual               well               being               in               addition               to               their               physical               wellness               or               lack               thereof.

As               interest               grows               in               complementary               medicine               and               alternative               health               care,               you               may               wonder               if               you               should               see               a               naturopathic               doctor               (ND)               or               other               practitioner               of               naturopathic               medicine               in               addition               to--               or               possibly               instead               of--               a               traditional               medical               doctor.

Many               people               are               asking               themselves               the               same               question,               and               that               is               where               the               controversy               over               naturopathy               lies.

Naturopathic               doctors               and               practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine               focus               on               prevention               and               healthy               lifestyle               choices,               preferring               a               patient               to               be               proactive               when               it               comes               to               health               care,               instead               of               waiting               until               a               patient               develops               a               disease               or               other               chronic               health               condition.

Naturopaths               believe               that               the               human               body               can               heal               itself,               so               practitioners               of               naturopathy               focus               on               the               underlying               causes               of               disease               and               chronic               conditions               as               opposed               to               treating               the               symptoms               of               sickness               and               disease.
               When               you               visit               a               naturopath,               he               or               she               will               want               to               know               about               more               than               your               standard               medical               history,               evaluating               your               nutritional               choices,               how               much               and               what               type               of               exercise               you               get,               and               your               general               psychological               well-being.

When               you               first               visit               a               naturopathic               doctor,               expect               to               spend               an               hour               or               more               in               your               first               consultation,               and               at               least               half               an               hour               on               follow               up               visits.
               When               you               contrast               this               approach               with               the               experience               many               of               us               have               with               traditional               doctors               who               are               often               unable               to               spend               more               than               fifteen               minutes               with               a               patient,               seeing               a               practitioner               of               naturopathic               medicine               seems               ideal.

However,               there               are               drawbacks               to               naturopathy,               especially               if               you               intend               to               rely               on               a               naturopathic               doctor               (ND)               or               traditional               practitioner               of               naturopathic               medicine               as               your               primary               health               care               source.
               Practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine               do               not               approve               of               inorganic               medicines               (ie.

pharmaceuticals)               and               invasive               procedures,               preferring               natural               and               homeopathic               remedies               for               disease.

They               are               also               opposed               to               invasive               surgery               and               certain               other               treatments.

Most               naturopaths               are               also               opposed               to               vaccination.

This               is,               as               you               might               imagine,               problematic               and               possibly               dangerous,               especially               when               it               comes               to               treatment               of               infectious               disease               or               diseases               like               cancer.

In               many               cases,               reliance               on               naturopathy               may               cause               a               disease               to               get               worse,               and               might               even               result               in               death.
               Another               area               of               controversy               arises               from               the               qualifications               and               education,               or               lack               thereof,               of               many               practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine.

In               short,               there               are               a               lot               of               quacks               out               there               and               few               ways               to               prevent               them               from               taking               advantage               of               their               patients.
               In               this               article,               I               have               been               differentiating               between               naturopathic               doctors               (ND)               and               other               practitioners               of               naturopathy.

It               is               possible               to               get               a               four               year               degree               in               naturopathy,               but               few               schools               offer               it.

Furthermore,               naturopathic               doctors               do               not               complete               a               residency               program               like               a               traditional               medical               doctor               is               required               to               do               upon               competition               of               medical               school.

According               to               the               Naturopathic               National               Council,               Inc.

many               traditional               naturopaths               have               only               completed               minimal               training               in               order               to               get               a               certificate,               and               some               practicioners               of               naturopathy               have               no               formal               training               whatsoever.
               Even               more               worrying,               in               most               US               states,               parts               of               Canada               and               all               of               the               UK,               practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine               are               not               required               to               be               licensed.

In               jurisdictions               where               naturopaths               are               unlicensed,               it               is               very               possible               that               the               traditional               naturopath               or               other               practitioner               of               naturopathy               who               calls               himself               a               naturopathic               doctor               (ND)               has               only               taken               a               six               week               course               over               the               internet,               and               he               may               have               no               formal               training               at               all.
               Only               15               US               States               currently               regulate               or               license               naturopathy:               Alaska,               Arizona,               California,               Connecticut,               Hawaii,               Idaho,               Kansas,               Maine,               Minnesota,               Montana,               Vermont,               New               Hampshire,               Oregon,               Utah               and               Washington.

The               District               of               Columbia,               Puerto               Rico,               and               the               US               Virgin               Islands               also               license               or               otherwise               regulate               practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine.

In               addition,               Florida               and               Virgina               have               licensed               practitioners               of               naturopathic               medicine               under               a               grandfather               clause,               but               are               not               licensing               naturopathic               doctors               or               traditional               naturopaths.
               Only               two               states               prohibit               the               practice               of               naturopathy               outright:               Tennessee               and               South               Carolina.
               Five               Canadian               provinces               currently               license               or               otherwise               regulate               naturopathic               doctors:               British               Columbia,               Manitoba,               Ontario,               Saskatchewan               and               Nova               Scotia.

In               BC,               naturopathic               doctors               are               able               to               write               prescriptions               and               perform               minor               surgery.
               Finally,               if               you               do               consider               consulting               a               naturopathic               doctor               or               traditional               naturopath,               it               may               not               be               covered               by               insurance.

In               fact,               insurance               coverage               for               naturopathy               is               rare,               so               check               with               your               insurer               before               consulting               a               naturopath               if               this               is               an               issue.
