naturopathy's philosophical underpinnings.

My experience with them is indirect, but here's what I've noticed:

1) Natural is always better. The definition of "natural" and that than which it is better varies by practitioner.
2) Yeast is the cause of nearly all your illnesses. Therefore you must remove from your diet all things that yeast eat: sugars, non-clear alcohol, bread, etc. Yes, alcohol is derived from yeast and toxic to them too, but that's just the ineffable nature of the yeast monsters.
3) The other cause of nearly all your illnesses is undiagnosed food allergies. They'll sell you tests to prove it, like cytotoxic screening. Sciency! Mysteriously, these allergies almost always tend to involve meats. The vegetarianism of the movement's founder, by the way, is pure coincidence.
4) Food allergies can manifest themselves in any way, often with substantial time delays. If you have the sniffles today, it's because of the lamb chop you ate five days ago. Same with arthritis, headaches, constipation, ... you name it.
5) Everything unnatural attacks your immune system, which could always use a "boost."
6) Those wicked allopathic physicians won't listen to you, and will just push some toxic pills at you. Instead, you should take large doses of the following supplements, which just happen to be for sale in the front office.
7) Naturopaths have the answer to all "dis-ease." If anything goes wrong in your body, you have only yourself to blame for not taking their advice and buying their stuff.
