Naturopathic doctor?

[MrsBranchPreND]

ND's cannot practice medicine and surgery the way that DO's and MD's do. They also cannot specialize. You cannot be a naturopathic neurosurgeon.

No, but you can become an ND with a specialty in mental ailments, traumas, and disorders; an ND that also researches the effects of natural and homeopathic medicines, including minerals and deficiencies, and corrects these sometimes debilitating diseases and ailments with which cause the symptoms that neurosurgeons are necessary for. Kind of eliminating the middle-man, so to speak. Wouldn't that be way cooler, anyway?

That is my intent, and I hope to incorporate a drastic change in mood and overall activity in patients through the beginner's introduction of minimal diet modifications, and a re-direction of our physical focus point. 😀

I just read somewhere that there is such a thing as a Naturopathic doctor (ND). Supposedly they have a holistic approach as well and have a similar education to MDs. Most enter into primary care. Also, I read in the allopathic forum that they have just been given full rights to practice medicine in CA and AZ just as MDs and DOs.

Has anyone ever heard of this?

awesomeeeeeeee but no I did not hear of this
