The citation is from the end of the article. Britt Marie does a great job
of exposing just how naturopathy works from the inside.


"The emotional harm of detoxing
I recently had a flare-up of psoriasis after some time of being free of
plaques. I mentioned to a colleague that I wanted to get a little extra
sleep to help with stress. He suggested that I begin eating a Paleo Diet.
While well-meaning, this advice is not supported by evidence. And, it could
be emotionally dangerous.

For years, I bought into the idea that I could achieve perfect health by
controlling my diet and my immediate environment. When flares occurred, or
when I got sick, I blamed myself for not eating right or not trying hard
enough. Naturopathic students were told over and over in school to “walk
the walk” of our medicine. We needed to embody healthfulness. If we looked
ill, or were overweight, patients would not take us seriously.

I took this advice to heart. I wanted to exude well-being. I subjected
myself to numerous detoxes and naturopathic therapies in the name of
healing myself. When these therapies failed, as they do, I added more
treatments to my regimen. Instead of becoming healthy, though, I made
myself physically and emotionally sicker than I had ever been. I developed
an eating disorder. My periods stopped. My hair fell out. My auto-immune
symptoms worsened.

I have finally learned that I cannot change the fact that I have psoriasis.
My recent psoriasis outbreak likely has nothing to do with what I am or am
not eating. It has nothing do with the supplements I am not taking. And it
didn’t happen because I haven’t done a detox since I left Seattle in 2012.

It is deceptive to promote the notion that any measures beyond the basics
of wellness, i.e., sleeping enough, exercising regularly, managing stress,
and eating well-rounded meals, can dramatically alter the course of
complicated diseases. Naturopaths are selling lies.

The harm for patients is not just wasted money and time. Naturopaths bring
their patients emotional damage by endlessly treating health problems with
detoxes and other gimmicks. This harm builds on the inherent risk of using
the unregulated “natural” products that naturopaths believe are safe and
gentle medicine.

Detoxes do not empower patients or provide them with the tools to take
charge of their health. The detoxification fad depends on patient guilt. If
the patient doesn’t invest in completing the detox, it is her fault that
she is sick. If she does complete the detox, but still does not get better,
then the patient needs to do more detoxing."

No, that's not true bob.
Mainstream says that psoriasis can't be cured, along with a lot of
other incurable conditions like asthma, allergies and arthritis.
However, there are some remedies like pawpaw ointment that cures
psoriasis.

Big pharma doesn't want people to know about alternatives and so runs
them down, tries to get alternative practitioners regulated to their
standards in order to weaken their abilities and make alternatives as
complimentary, rather than "instead-of" remedies.

However big pharma is a very deceptive industry, built on lies and
manipulation.

Pan Pharmaceuticals
The founder of Pan Pharmaceuticals, the company which had its licence
withdrawn by the Therapeutic Goods Administration in 2003, has
received a record $50 million payout from the Federal Government.
- Founder 'blameless'
- 400 jobs lost
- Public inquiry wanted
Jim Selim had sued the TGA for compensation for ruining his business,
claiming public servants had acted outside their power and with
vengeance when withdrawing the licence after concerns over certain
products and manufacturing processes.
TGA shareholders lost $350 million, almost 400 people lost their jobs,
and Pan's customers lost hundreds of millions of dollars in business,
Mr Selim's lawyer Andrew Thorpe said outside the court today.

been dupes of those cleverer than they or with sinister reasons for
concealing knowledge. They have written what they thought was the
truth, only to find out (if they ever did find out) that they had been
fed a lot of contrived cover stories and just plain hogwash. In this
book I have taken extracts from some of this writing and, line by

Sorry Carole papaya jelly was used long ago and doesn't work as well as

See here is how it works. You and other fall for the line try this "scam"
treatment 1st. Then when the scam fails the distress is greater. Then when
you realize you waited too long for real medicine to work, you blame the
fail not on the delay and waiting for the nonsense treatment to work, you

plaques. I mentioned to a colleague that I wanted to get a little extra
sleep to help with stress. He suggested that I begin eating a Paleo Diet.
While well-meaning, this advice is not supported by evidence. And, it could
be emotionally dangerous.
There are a lot of different things a person can try but mainstream
medicine should be fairly low down on the list.
Personally I wouldn't touch mainstream medicine unless I was in real
distress and didn't know anything else that worked, but then so often
mainstream hasn't got any answers either. So its best to do your own
research, try different things and think about it yourself rather than
rely on "experts and reliable sources".
See here is how it works. You and other fall for the line try this "scam"
treatment 1st. Then when the scam fails the distress is greater. Then when
you realize you waited too long for real medicine to work, you blame the
fail not on the delay and waiting for the nonsense treatment to work, you
blame mainstream medicine
Your hollow words up above, just expose you for the simple mindedness you
show every time you post nonsense and carelessness in thought and words.

For years, I bought into the idea that I could achieve perfect health by
controlling my diet and my immediate environment. When flares occurred, or
when I got sick, I blamed myself for not eating right or not trying hard
enough. Naturopathic students were told over and over in school to ?walk
the walk? of our medicine. We needed to embody healthfulness. If we looked
ill, or were overweight, patients would not take us seriously.
I took this advice to heart. I wanted to exude well-being. I subjected
myself to numerous detoxes and naturopathic therapies in the name of
healing myself. When these therapies failed, as they do, I added more
treatments to my regimen. Instead of becoming healthy, though, I made
myself physically and emotionally sicker than I had ever been. I developed
an eating disorder. My periods stopped. My hair fell out. My auto-immune
symptoms worsened.
This sounds like an article written to defame naturaphy.
Well if you went to the link, you would find the person that wrote it
actually was a practicing naturopath at one time. Then she went back to
school and became a real doctor. The educational and skill level between a
real doctor and a naturopath is like the difference between a child's wagon
and turbo charge diesel truck.

Usually if its a real article written by a real person, you get some
more specific information, not so much generalities.
It sounds cut and paste type of information.
Sadly Carole, we can see you actually didn't go and read the article or
check out the qualifications of the author. Your willful ignorance is
showing.

I have finally learned that I cannot change the fact that I have psoriasis.
My recent psoriasis outbreak likely has nothing to do with what I am or am
not eating. It has nothing do with the supplements I am not taking. And it
didn?t happen because I haven?t done a detox since I left Seattle in 2012.
No, that's not true bob.
Mainstream says that psoriasis can't be cured, along with a lot of
other incurable conditions like asthma, allergies and arthritis.
However, there are some remedies like pawpaw ointment that cures
psoriasis.
Nope it may treat it does not cure it, cessation of treatment cause the
condition to return or flare.
The active ingredient is not the fermented papaya skins, but the petroleum
jelly. And many of the suggest treatments such as placing up in your nose
is unhealthy.
No bob, with alternative it can treat and cure at the same time.
Alternative. Doesn't treat nor cure. Somehow what was called consumer fraud
and scams grew into alternative.
Post by Blind Freddie
Long term use of some alternative treatments can eventually cure the
condition and I am thinking about asthma and housedust allergies which
I used to have. 5 years of treatment with alternatives led to a cure.
Mainstream will never cure but alternative will.
You cured nothing. Your self diagnosed condition might have been all
psychosomatic in nature.
Describe just how your allergy and asthma were diagnosed. Scratch Test or
RAS testing?
And allergies have been know to fad naturally over time.
Sorry Carole the antigens which cause the reactions to allergens do
disappear after time in many cases. Especially if the exposed to the
allergen drops.
Post by Blind Freddie
I've tried detoxes myself and haven't gotten anything from them.
A short detox of fruit and veg is ok -- say, a day or two but that's
about it. People need protein and these days I'm on the B12 bandwagon
which says that a lot of vegetarian type diets are low in b12 which
can lead to problems.
Simply ask yourself what is the name of to so-call toxin anyone claims they
are removing? If they can't name it, it's an automatic scam.
Following a "bandwagon" is simply following a fad, brainless without
thinking. Most people do not need vitamins. If you needed a vitamin it
would show on a blood test.
Well, now vitamin b12 is something "Big Pharmacy" manufactures and sells.
Real doctors even prescribe it sometimes. She doesn't realize she is
falling right in line with mainstream medicine. How about that Carole! You
using mainstream medicine without even knowing it! ROFLBO 😄

However, there are alternative treatments and/or cures for all sorts
of things. I'd try homeopathy and/or herbs.
Post by Bob Officer
Sorry Carole papaya jelly was used long ago and doesn't work as well as
some of the newer modern medications which address the issue at the cause.
And there is still no cure.
I won't take your word for that bob.
Really? Then read the medical journals.

Post by Bob Officer
The blinded tests where made using papaya skin ointment and straight
petroleum jelly. There was no difference in the responses.
Another engineered study like the homeopathy ones.
You need to understand that big pharma has a lot at stake and has a
lot of resources it can draw on to get the outcomes it wants.
Same as the warmongering industry, always pushing for takeover of
other countries "for the sake of democracy" of course.
They just push and push to make their case for more war and the need
to eliminate some sovereign ruler. When they should be at home looking
after their own people, but since there is so much money in war they
persist since they are psychopaths.
Sorry the test was blinded and random. The claimed effectiveness is there.

It is deceptive to promote the notion that any measures beyond the basics
of wellness, i.e., sleeping enough, exercising regularly, managing stress,
and eating well-rounded meals, can dramatically alter the course of
complicated diseases. Naturopaths are selling lies.
I've never gotten anything from them but only went to them once or
twice. Tend to work things out for myself.

The harm for patients is not just wasted money and time. Naturopaths bring
their patients emotional damage by endlessly treating health problems with
detoxes and other gimmicks. This harm builds on the inherent risk of using
the unregulated ?natural? products that naturopaths believe are safe and
gentle medicine.
Naturapthy isn't alone in wasting time and money -- mainstream also
knows how to do with quite well, since they have no real cures and
delude the patient into thinking there are no cures.
Often there was treatments which can effect a cure. How's your foot fungus?
Still playing with your kitchen colon bomb?

Detoxes do not empower patients or provide them with the tools to take
charge of their health. The detoxification fad depends on patient guilt. If
the patient doesn?t invest in completing the detox, it is her fault that
she is sick. If she does complete the detox, but still does not get better,
then the patient needs to do more detoxing."
You got to remember that naturapaths are regulated more and more by
mainstream. Any really useful concepts are no doubt weeded out to get
by the regulation process which leaves just the more useless concepts,
so they don't end up becoming competition for mainstream, just
complementary not real competition.
Carole that was written by a former naturopath. She is now a real doctor.

standards in order to weaken their abilities and make alternatives as
complimentary, rather than "instead-of" remedies.
In all your rantings I have never gotten the feeling that you even know what
the word “alternative” means?

If the pharmaceutical industry does not want people to know about alternative
products to theirs why would they ever mention them? Wouldn’t mentioning
them, as you say,in
their effort to run them down give the consumer the idea that there might be
something else they can use? Just mentioning a remedy, whether negatively or
positively, brings that product to the customers mind. Aside from that you
always claim that the Pharmaceutical always runs down alternatives. I would
like to see just one example of that.

Pawpaw is papaya, the ointment is made by fermenting the pulped skins of

mixed with petroleum jell. The ointment consists of about 4% of this 6%

Petroleum jelly use is actually counter productive to treating psoriasis,
