(15,429 posts)Which means a doctor practicing Naturalpathy (or Acupuncture, or and of the other alternative medical therapies) needs to have to actually know, anatomy, biology (and botany/pharmacology) and have actually studied the difference between correlation and causation when dealing with medical issues, therapies, and cures.
Medical practice needs to be scientific - patients are trusting you with their wellbeing and lives, and your objective is to provide an actual result which has objective physical evidence. Following the scientific method does not mean searching Web MD or gathering a bunch of old science and medical books and finding like passages to justify whatever associative/commutative theory of medicine you are currently pushing. When you're acting as a MD, or providing medicine, you have to know what you are doing and how to recognize if your product is causing adverse reactions in a patient, and you need to be able to diagnose accurately when presented with a situation of "cause and effect". And one is supposed to avoid "doing harm" in the process - even if they can't fix the problem, a medical practitioner is supposed to attempt to make things better, not worse.
Mr. Young is a con-man, or if he actually believes his majikal theories of medicine and how the body works, he's a delusional fool. Forsooth - Know'st thou that tis Bodily Humores out of alignment that causes human dis-ease?
That's why practicing without a license is so damaging to a community and should get a butt-load of prison time when people are hurt.
