Thoroughly scrutinize proposed NYS naturopathy licensure for 2014.

The Issue

Well, it is quite easy to find out that naturopathy is based on false claims.  Oregon has already licensed naturopathy, and you can see at http://www.oregon.gov/obnm/pages/aboutnaturopathy.aspx such false claims quite blatantly ENDORSED by a State's seal.  This shows how exceptionally derelict of duty legislatures can be.  I don't want to see NYS make the same mistakes and basically become an accessory to licensed falsehood.  The very premises that naturopathy is based upon, e.g. vitalism which it falsely labels as able to survive scientific scrutiny, are in fact described as perfect examples of the science-ejected in the Next Generation Science Standards which NYS is creating and planning to adopt.
