3rd year naturopathic medicine student here. Britt Hermes brings up some great points here about the failures of the medical board in taking action in what are essentially illegal practices. She also brings up stories of what happens when a doctor makes an error of judgement or doesn't see the harm in a certain therapy. There are many naturopathic students at my school who don't particularly care for homeopathy or understand how it works. In fact it is mostly removed from our curriculum now. Never are we "brainwashed" into believing anything, at most we will be told that "I've seen it work in practice" or something along those lines. Our herbalism classes are even taught in a way where relevant research is always linked. There is plenty of evidence that many herbs can be helpful, dietary changes, exercise, mindfulness and others which are the core of true naturopathy can drastically effect our health. I think the danger here is Hermes is throwing the baby out with the bath water as they say, there are of course practitioners who get way over their head and lack a sense of reality but that isn't to say that all of naturopathy is bad. How often do we hear stories of the corruption and malpractice of MD's, but that doesn't mean that all or even most of MD's are corrupt. They come at health from a different paradigm is all. I understand the importance of surgery and pharmaceutical medications when they are required, but they don't make up the entire practice of medicine. There is a place for diet, herbalism, mindfulness, exercise plans, returning to natural ways of living and lifestyle counseling which the true doctors of the past understood as essential in lasting health. There are certainly some issues with how naturopathic medicine is taught, and many working to fix them but Britt Hermes seems dedicated to destroying a great and unique addition to our crumbling healthcare system that is infested with insurance companies, pharmaceutical interests and political agendas. Most of what she says are her personal opinions about what is "legitimate" is but she is quick to forget that there are modalities of medicine outside of MD that are of great help to people, and that only in the last century have MD schools become standardized. If you're interested in learning more about what life is like as a naturopathic student or how naturopathy is practiced by the competent among us, send me a message. I'm more than happy to give my honest (good and bad) opinions of my experience and observation. Unlike, Hermes who is incredibly one sided in her approach (listing only the negatives to prove her point) rather than ironically approaching it scientifically (with the positive and negatives together, rather than cherry picking her evidence to prove her point).

When you get out there, and you begin to work in your field, I would like to propose that you consider and look into using ozone hemotherapy, sometimes referred to as ozone IV or ozone major... and ozone minor, which is really just basically drawing a persons blood at the usual elbow pits and immediately injecting it into a big muscles... I have an ND that does this... whenever I think I need an immune boost, I go for the ozone minor... there is a wonderful presentation about it here on YT, I think it is titled something like just hemotherapy... but, it is a presentation by a Brazilian doctor who used it in his practice for decades and his father before him, apparently, it was commonly used before penicillin and anti biotics came about... he says that this increases the macrophages by 30% which is a huge immune boost and it lasts for something like 5 days or a week (it's been a while since I saw that) and anyways, he would do that a week before a surgery (he was a surgeon) and then something like a day before the surgery and I think after... he also claimed that this is incredibly helpful for severe acne and that skin condition where the skin hardens like wood ... I will look for that and come back with a link... hopefully it's still on YT... he cites the scientific evidence for it's use... it's so easy... and if something that simple and affordable can really help people, like he says... the information needs to get out there. Oh, and I think, but am not sure, but that "ozone minor" hemotherapy I believe is also what they do for cancer patients and MAY be referred to as a cancer vaccine.... I'm sure you have much better access to good information about these things... but, they are techniques, per say, that I have found not all ND's are aware of, but others are. So I am assuming they are learning about these things once they get out of school or they have not yet become a part of the curriculum... but, they all seem worthy of the attention of someone in your position and worthy of your consideration. ozone therapy AKA ozone hemotherapy, ozone IV, ozone major ozone minor AKA hemotherapy-basic, possible AKA cancer vaccine

Honestly, too much credit is being dished out to MD’s. Please stop boosting their already huge ego... I went to medical school (MD) for 1.5 years and left after seeing the quick pace that highly depended upon simply memorizing the quick facts of disease and drugs. Traditional medical school does NOT deeply dive into truly understanding a disease with the intention of curing it. You learn symptoms, pathways, and then learn to pair those symptoms with drugs. I didn’t and still don’t believe that treating an array of symptoms is the best way to be a doctor. Because this isn’t healing! This is medicating/drugging/numbing. Yes, there are the good sides of being an MD, like when it comes to trauma cases. But there is such a large number of health conditions that shouldn’t rely on being drugged up. I think holistic healing should be the norm.

I’ve had to refuse filling prescriptions for way they prescribe antibiotics to children.....at least an adult has made the choice to see what type of provider they want to see but that children hasn’t and I’m not going to contribute to any long-term harm by filling those meds. When I’ve asked for ANY type of scientific support for the way they’ve prescribed for Lyme disease, they never have it. Another one is diagnosing nearly other person with hypothyroidism and telling them to take their meds “as needed” or “okay to double up as needed”. Anyone with real hypothyroidism knows that you need to be on the CORRECT dose based on your TSH which is not necessarily something the patient can tell on their own....and doubling up on thyroid meds could be disastrous.

While there are stories against naturopathic medicine and the practicing doctors that Britt brings to light, have we just overlooked MD's and DO's errors in medicine and treatments that have most certainly caused death or further complications? It's a daily occurance. Malpractice insurance is necessary for a reason. And not in every case does the doctor need to be dragged through the mud. Yes, some do. And I have a question about Britt? Why did she attend a medical college without fully knowing what it stands for and what it teaches? This isn't undergrad. When You make the choice to attend a medical college your job is to research and research until you KNOW why you chose that school and that profession. If she had done her job it would make sense that she would know what she was getting into and not attend. Naturopathic medicine is a true profession with true doctors of the more natural modality. Don't like that form of treatment/medicine, don't go to a ND. However, there is certainly plenty to be concerned with in regards to Western medicine. It has killed plenty. You don't see lawyers on tv advertising a drug that killed someone or caused your little boy to grow breast with naturopathic medicine. And it boggles my mind that something natural would warrant a lashing when it's what we began with. I am not against conventional medicine at all. It definitely serves a purpose and saves lives. However, there is another part to healing. Treating people as a whole person and getting to root causes is what we are to do as doctors...doctors in all walks of training(MD, DO, ND, NP, PA...) I find Britt insulting and unbalanced. True reporting of evidence and news is to have balance. There is no weighing of both sides of the spectrum. She is arrogant in her approach to the issue and is just as good at her "brainwashing" as she claims the Naturopathic medical college is with their students.

After a naturopath’s holistic advice, I got off a 20-year maintenance medicine for acute nephritis which was a faithful compliance with an MD’s prescription.

What you are doing by communicating your experience would best be described as a "testimony", however, if your doctor were to publish results of your treatment, which probably would include results of tests showing a diagnosis from before and after, that would then be considered "clinical" evidence or might be referred to something like a "clinical report" and included the treatment applied... then that can be considered evidence. Years ago, I read a little something about the difference between the types of papers published in things like medical journals and there are various categories... clinical reports are valuable, but, a lot of doctors do not publish them. I am sure there is much more to it than what I am aware, but, it might be of value for anyone interested in the topic of how "evidence" is acquired. Clinical reports are most compelling, in my opinion.

Oh, I almost forgot (Imma say this again) they do this (pretend to listen act on their patents) so that they can move on to the next patient all within 15 minutes?

Also, even as it is the case with psychotherapy and psychiatry, these are ever evolving self-regulating professions, with differing regulatory bodies are laws in every single country. Overgeneralizing based on her own experience is dishonest and unprofessional. Compensatory tones don't belong in scientific discussions.

NDs need to reprimand or suspend the licenses of NDs who practice outside their scope or use harmful treatments to better protect the public and enforce the rule of law.

Where would we be in healthcare if we stopped trying to develop better treatments and just gave up because the latest treatments had severe side effects? Naturopaths are the joke of healthcare. They call up pharmacies ALL the time and ask pharmacists what to prescribe their patients. It’s very, very sad. Do you think the MD who spent at least four years in a rigorous residency after attending a legitimate medical school is asking the local Walgreens pharmacist what they should give their patient?? The “diseases” naturopaths claim their patients aren’t even recognized by the American Medical Association....so do you really think the patient is being properly treated with a bogus diagnosis? Unfortunately, unlike other sciences, most people’s grasp of medical science is extremely deficient. We need to do better as a country to keep pushing the biological sciences or else the quackery from naturopaths and anti-vaxxers will continue to grow.

This is grossly misleading. Naturopathic Doctors ARE doctors who are required to go through the same classes as med students minus the difference in modalities and treatments. Yes, you can get a Doctorate with the right prereqs from different degrees. But to slander an entire profession for a few people involved in malpractice, and to do this in front of MD’s responsible for misdiagnosing and causing deaths MUCH more often is just disappointing. You are standing on the shoulders of giants as you said, and that isn’t necessarily something to be proud of.

No, you are the one who is being grossly misleading. I looked up the curriculum for the top medical school and the top naturopathic school in my state. Medical students take classes like: Foundations of Medical Science, Hematology; Neuroscience; Infectious Disease; Cardiovascular, Pulmonary, and Renal; Musculoskeletal, Skin, and Connective Tissue; Obstetrics and Gynecology; Endocrinology, and many more. The naturopathic curriculum has none of that. I repeat: NONE. Instead it has: Swedish Massage, Kinesiology, Flower Remedies, Herbal Medicine, Acupressure, Shiatsu, Reflexology, Polarity, etc.. Your claim that the two are the same is completely absurd.

Just for fun I also compared the admission requirements. To apply to the medical school, you have to have a GPA of 3.0 or higher in ten undergraduate science courses (some of which are 4000 level courses), with another 8 science courses highly recommended (all of which are 3000 or 4000 level) and a score of at least 494 on the MCAT. To apply to the naturopath program, you have to have a high school diploma or GRE. Period. No minimum GPA, no other requirements.

The number of errors made by MDs and DOs should be exponentially larger than the number of errors made by NDs if they are equally effective and safe.

it depends on the situation. The point is in your first example, the patient died because there truthfully was nothing we could do that would save them. Naturopathy certainly wouldn't have. However! in the second example, in many many many cases the patient would have survived if they followed medical practices and/or were taken to an MD. FURTHERMORE, in the first example, if someone unjustly dies, that MD typically is reprimanded severely either through law suit or through losing their license. Whereas, as Britt explained, in the second example an ND often merely gets a slap on the wrist "hey don't do that".

And worse of all "reactions", is when the chemo kills all visible cancer and in a few months, it comes back stronger than ever when the patients immune system is gone, and almost every single reccurance leads to death in the following year or 2 (if you're lucky). Chemotherapy has and is failing miserably in every cancer except for testicular, childhood lukemia (it isn't too bad today) and very specific lymphomas. I use tumeric all the time. It's not deadly if idiot isn't the one using it. Honestly I don't even buy her story about that. If it is true, it's a extremely odd case and the doctor did something more that she's not disclosing

I don’t necessarily care for homeopathy, but it’s odd you claim “it can’t work”, but that it has side effects. This would mean it could possibly work. Maybe no one is applying it effectively, but because it has potential side effects, then it can potentially “work” if used properly. As if mainstream Med had morals or ethics! 😂 Generally, the most common reason people seek alternative Med is because mainstream Med had failed them. It’s interesting when people try to tare down other groups. It doesn’t work, because you are not stating a better option. Therefore, they become more defensive and supportive of what you are trying to damage.

If she’s lucky enough to get a new liver, she won’t be able to have children of own due to the anti-rejection meds she’ll be on. Another one is the ND who told his hemophiliac patient to stop all clotting factors and only take vitamins. This ND was promptly chewed out and told to never interfere with the care of this patient ever again. As a pharmacist in Seattle, a common experience is when an ND will pose as a patient asking what type of antibiotic they should take for an infection. When I tell them they need to get seen, they’ll then reveal themselves to be ND’s and just want some advice. This is such a bad look and extremely unimpressive. I usually just hang up after this lol. Obviously, if the training were sufficient, ND’s would not be doing this but as Bastyr is just across the lake from Seattle, I’m at ground zero for naturopaths. Believe me, naturopaths are the butt of jokes in healthcare circles.

They believe in natural supplements and the body’s innate ability to heal once you remove the toxicity’s that make you sick and add in the good stuff that you need (healthy diet, exercise, mediation, some herbs,etc but no drugs) isn’t all those things backed up by science? Exercise, good nutrition, mediation,etc So no quackery so far! Some definitely practice that but the good ones don’t. If they think the patient needs antibiotics, they would use oil of oregano , berbrine, etc And those herbs have been studied and proven many times to be shown that they are just as effective as antibiotics and much less dangerous since it’s not killing the good bacteria as well if used appropriately. I also have a story like that, but it was multiple (MDs) overly prescribed me antibiotics as a kid because I had many ear infections. I was taking 3-4 antibiotics to every year for 5 years.

Her examples on unethical drug production and the excavation of it is equally linked to the capitalization of Western, as well as natural medicine - her arguments are incredibly over-generalized, and seem to assume that practices, such as Chinese Medicine, which has existed and been used extensively in the East for CENTURIES, can be reduced into a sweepingly misunderstood statement. It is saddening to see how she satirizes an entire culture from a western-centric point of view. I would take her comments with a grain of salt - her experiences are personal, and such specific cases are truly horrible, but she has the choice to be an example of good naturopathy practice, of which she cowardly decides against.

I know for certain I’ve come into contact with naturopaths who recognize the necessary and valuable side of conventional medicine. She is just so biased.

I'm currently two years into my Naturopathy degree and constantly plagued with doubts on whether or not to continue due to an unstable future this degree offers I came by this video (and I'm familiar with Britt's blog) and genuinely watched in interest - Experience for someone as cautious as me is heavenly But there are things that just don't add up or make sense/relate to naturopathy Turmeric (Curcumin) IV - Any respectable naturopath would know that any form of surgical intervention will require the attention of medical professionals i.e surgeons. Any form of intravenous 'healing' is going against the basic principle of naturopath (allowing the body to combat it's own ailments). We DO NOT treat intravenously, especially a constituent such as curcumin (My point - One ill-informed naturopath does not code for all) I do not believe in Homeopathy (and yes, I am a studying naturopath) I do not believe in the Anti-vax movement - it's dangerous and ill-informed (and yes, I am a studying naturopath) The incidence she mentioned with the poor baby - Another example of what naturopaths DON'T DO (at-least, as I mentioned before, respectable ones). It feels as though she depicts naturopaths as being 100% against any type of modern medical intervention which is frustrating, as modern medical patterns are glorious in all their prospects (especially to work along-side with). Why this woman 1) Prescribed homeopathic treatments (which in themselves are contraindicated in pregnancy) and 2) Simply failed to request aid is bloody ridiculous These are not examples of Naturopathy being 'ineffective', these are examples of ineffective and dangerous naturopaths - a trait that can be seen in every modality, whether it be conventional or alternative (and trust me it is scary when you're able to pick up on traits through some peers that you believe would make a dangerous naturopath) Also, detoxification - specifically fruit juice fasts are a load of RUBBISH and is probably one of the most harmful trends going around right now I read up on a similar case where another baby almost passed due to the diet a 'naturopath' had put her on. I was just livid with this, how a naturopath could recommend something so bloody stupid (And then finding out, she was no naturopath at all - she was a MYOTHERAPIST) hence the trouble of unregulated terms I just think if youre going to stand up and attack natural medicine, at least have a good background in how you'll go by administrating your own evidence. (i.e. is it due to insufficient studies (although there seems to be more rising scientific studies to prove the efficacy of herbs and their constituents, Silymarin for an example), maybe believing any "medical/science subjects we go through are ineffective in comparison to 'real medical students' (but again, many of my peers are studying naturopathy AFTER completion of premedical courses - so this complaint is rather more individualised to each student) Instead, all she speaks of are the stupid actions (seriously, some of these just made me question how these naturopaths could pass 4 years of study and STILL reach such conclusion of treatment that would clearly endanger their patient) of even stupider people that just give naturopathy a bad name

Don't trust this ND talks . View my today comment above. Continue to study Naturopathy. MD needs you as integrated medicine is very popular now. As a naturopathy, all the urgent life threatening cases must be refer to hospital. This ND misses this important points and misses to tell you that dropping fetal heart rate is sign of fetal distress, life threatening situation in baby. Consultation about homeopathy usually needs one to two hours to get correct remedy so life threatening situation is not suitable to all natural therapy. I don't know how to formulate homeopathic remedy in her accused case within short period of time to get information from distressed pregnant mother. I don't know the basic science about homeopathy well but some cases are workable.

Andie! Hi I am a Naturopathic Doctor in Ontario Canada. I agree with your comment. I watched this video out of curiosity, because I know that NDs can sometimes just stay in a bubble of safety and not expose ourselves to criticism. I follow Hermes because I want to know what she is finding out about NDs so that I can try my best to practice safely. I understand Hermes intention. She just wants to keep people safe. However, I think she cherry picks all the bad treatments that have happened and paints the picture that all NDs are uneducated and provide the same bad treatments all the time. I have never agreed with homeopathy's supernatural powers. And many NDs are the same way. In Canada, it is against regulation to communicate any anti-vax information. Naturopathic Doctors are pro-vaccine. I have never been taught to give a homeopathic med instead of calling 911 if a woman is going into labor. Also, I have never been taught ANY course on five star blood letting. Ozone therapy was never taught at my school, neither was IV curcumin. I have no idea what is being taught at Bastyr, but if that is really happening, it really needs to stop, because it is making the rest of us in the profession look absolutely ridiculous. I know you must be having a hard time deciding whether to stay in the profession. I go back and forth myself. We aren't brain washed into thinking that Naturopathic Medicine is the cure all approach to medicine like Hermes suggests, which is why we debate. I have only been in practice since June 2018 and I am sticking with it because there will be people turning to natural therapies, regardless if there is or isn't a ND to be there to supervise. If Hermes managed to eliminate the profession entirely, it won't keep people from seeking alternatives. If you go into a health food/ supplement store, there are people who go against their MDs recommendation, stop their prescriptions and try out 50 different supplements all on their own. They self diagnose like crazy and believe they are helping themselves safely. They have no idea what they are doing and they also have never heard of naturopathic doctors. At least if they knew about or saw a ND, they could be informed that they can't drop their prescription medications cold turkey ( especially benzos!). At least with a ND they can be told if there are any drug/ supplement interactions that may occur. At least with an ND they can be told if a supplement/vitamin is contraindicated with their condition. At least with an ND they will be supervised if they firmly don't want to stay on their prescriptions, because all an MD usually does is entirely dismiss patients who refuse conventional treatment. These patients need someone to consult. If you want to be that person to help this minority patient population that is often dropped by the conventional medical system, then stick with the program and do your best to study the heck out of everything (naturopathic and conventional ) to keep them safe. If we NDs really make the intention of learning everything that we can to provide the best care possible, even if it is recommending a patient to go see an MD, and if we all act with integrity and keep ethics and safety as our number one priority, over time our actions will change the narrative of our profession.

NDs do not undergo the same certified training or residency of DOs are MDs. Legally, in other countries that are arguably the very originators of practices used and taught to NDs do not consider them as Doctors in the literal sense. In Korea, NDs are NEVER called or referred to as doctors. They are called origin/Chinese/han scientists and are only supplemental to facts, science, and data.

We live in a time where our soils are depleted of most minerals and we are left unsure how wholesome our food is.

Which isn't a suprise because NDs have known for years that at high doses, vitamin C becomes a "pro oxidant", and since vitamin C almost mirrors glucose, the vitamin C enters the cancer cells, and through oxidation (at high doses), the vitamin C promotes cell suicide. Side effects? More urinating and slight headache. Not everyhing potent has to have deadly side effects

When I’ve asked for ANY type of scientific support for the way they’ve prescribed the medication (just so I don’t get my ass sued when the patient realizes they’ve been had), they can never send me....only telling me how this provider is an expert on their field. How can you can an expert with NOTHING to support the way you’ve made a decision to treat someone??

sorry but this person is very wrong, naturopaths do have their place, for many issues like Lyme disease , mold toxicty, MCAS, MCS, food intolernences, sensitivities and much more, most drs will do nothing for the patience and usually send them packing while telling the patience they need to seek mental health treatment cuz these there symptoms must be" all in there head" or do to stress or some other stupid canned response when they don't understand a condition. These patience are left with no where to go and no hope of ever getting better. This is where Naturopaths and functional medicine dr come in to play. They understand these very real conditions that "drs" usually dismiss as not being real. But these conditions are very real and disabling . Naturopaths can also work with select drs who also understand these conditions that are often dismissed by most drs. and can guide the naturopath as to what tests to run and what treatments can possibly be of benefit to these patience with these types of conditions when said MD is out of reach for the patient or that MD has too many current patience to take on any new ones. Bashing naturopaths just goes to show the narrow mindedness that's exhibited by many drs and they are holding back the entire industry. The overall goal in healthcare should be to find ways to help as many people with there conditions as possible and different drs, naturopaths, functional medicine drs ect all play a part in orchastrating this process. Bashing and trying to discredit naturopaths is just plain irrisponsible.

One thing people have to realize is if you put your trust in an ND, MD, DO, NP, PA, DVM (For your Animals), you must understand they make mistakes just like you do in your daily life. If you believe its quakery then by all means see an MD/DO. If you feel you want to try something different and see an ND then do it. People should have a choice. Ms. Britt described some dangerous horror stories that unfortunately she had to encounter, but it was not her who did the things it was other practitioners who made an incorrect calls and judgements based upon what they thought was right. She has every right to change fields or feel angry or anything she desires but at the end of the day to take away a choice for individuals to become a Naturopathic Doctor I believe is absurd!

Most of them don't go to residency, and none of them are allowed to participate in the rigorous residency programs that MDs and DOs are required to do. The potential for confusion over terms like "medical school" and "doctor" is part of the problem: if NDs are allowed a broad scope of practice and a "doctor" title, patients may get an incorrect impression of their level of education and experience.
