There is a very legitimate basis for Naturopathy. Do you think you would see them practicing next to MD's if there wasn't?

But, the whole point about this thread is how the NCSE feels that the junk science that is currently supporting global warming is correct and any dissension must be squashed.
Well you're in Seattle. Of course the MDs realized their lives would be easier if they just put up with that bullshit. It's like asking an OBGYN about their thoughts on midwives.
Please define Naturopath, I don't think you know what one is.

All Climate Scientist need to say is "we think" this causes that based of "this and that"
and then go on to admit that we can't be entirely sure

That's all... It has never been any more complicated than that
But the dishonesty on both sides has poisoned the entire debate

To my point. Do we really need an organization that promotes the exclusion of critical thinking? And one that is targeting our youth. Get em to comply early.

On a separate note, has any warmist admitted they weren't entirely sure?

Agreed. But real scientists producing numbers and theories sounds more scientifically legit than 'Al Gore is a private jet flying douche'.

(Which is also most certainly true but sounds a bit less sciency)

FTR, I hope JSO is right. :twocents:

Uh, a fake doctor with an ND degree from one of the several naturopathy "schools" in the nation. Did I pass? :roll:

Believe me, I have plenty of experience with this crap because half of my extended family subscribes to it

Well stop subscribing me to your family's group. When my wife had cancer, we went full blown Western med and not the magical cure all route.

To me, my ND is more of a consultant. The shit I need to see him for is all within my control (exercise, weight mgmnt, stress reduction). He doesn't overstep his entry level medical privileges.

I can admit to seeing quite a few kooks in the holistic field. I was a licensed massage therapist years ago and I met some real doozies!

Fail. Christianity is one of creed, not doctrine. Plus let's not forget all the science and medicine that have been progressed by the faith (Monestaries, Universities, Hospitals, Charities). Both of those not only built critical thinking, but continue to foster it.

Man dude, you are sucking at this thread, but I appreciate the effort.

So, he's basically your nutritionist + personal trainer-esque consultant?

Interesting that you also used the word magic. And I'm happy you made the right decision for your wife. The fact these yahoos will "treat" cancer is why they are such a cancer themselves

It shows. Tired, worn out phrases and quips.

You used to have more pride.
