Topic: We should ban naturopathy
some people find comfort in naturopathic medicines - i.e. they believe a product will work, so the placebo effect lightens their symptoms.
some people find naturopathy is effective, even if it is only the placebo effect.
some people find that naturopathy helps conditions which traditional medicine does nothing or not enough for.
some people rely on this because of religious beliefs.
studies have shown that naturopathic medicine is safe and by adding naturopathic care to conventional care patients have better overall health outcomes
Supporting the continuing practice of naturopathy is basically the government giving a mandate to practitioners to harm patients, often seriously by using dangerous treatments like injection of turmeric and raw food diets for babies.
taking responsibility for yourself rather than relying on the doctor for small issues like a cold, and treating it naturally, can be very beneficial for everyone.
the government has no right to make decisions on what constitutes valid medicine or not based on conflicts of interest rather than good science
the government should not have the power to decide what is good medicine  and what is not, people have to be free to decide for themselves what kind of therapy they want
the government shouldn't ban anything, people have the right to seek bad advice if they want to
the high life is very vital for humanity
the medical community is gradually accepting that there is evidence that naturopathy is helping people so it should not be banned for fear of missing better treatments and outcomes.
The medical world is highly regulated and it is up to individual citizens to decide for themselves whether or not this unregulated and untested path is the one they choose to take.
The nature of Naturopathy makes it impossible to regulate it, the only way to fight it is by a decisive ban.
the naturopathic treatment uses gentle, non-invasive therapies that do not have adverse side effects
the outright ban on naturopathy could be considered an overreach, it would be better to regulate it based on what factually works.
The people who turn to naturopathy are those who wouldn't turn to conventional medicine in any case, so there is no harm in allowing them to gain from the placebo affect here.
the problem with naturopathy is people don't get the medicine they need for some illnesses
The state can regulate naturopathy in a way that forces it to be safe and effective the way regular drugs are.
The state needs to protect freedom by using least restrictive means, since a ban doesn't meet this standard, the state can't ban naturopathy.
the use of naturopathy is often not strong enough to combat some diseases.  certain illnesses can not be cured with just naturopathy alone.
the use of naturopathy may stop those seeking medical help who are in urgent need.
there are many scam artists out there promoting naturopathy treatments that do not work and may harm you since they are not regulated.
there are many things we don't know and many conditions that medicine doesn't help
there are some contagious diseases that can not be treated with naturopathy and can put others in danger.
