I am a licensed naturopathic physician [ND] in private practice. I practice what is called "evidence based medicine", meaning that everything that I prescribe/advise has been scientifically proven to be effective in treating the problem it is being used for.

Ten years ago the government set out to test herbal and other alternative health remedies to find the ones that work. After spending .5 billion, the disappointing answer seems to be that almost none of them do.
Echinacea for colds. Ginkgo biloba for memory. Glucosamine and chondroitin for arthritis. Black cohosh for menopausal hot flashes. Saw palmetto for prostate problems. Shark cartilage for cancer. All proved no better than dummy pills in big studies funded by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine. The lone exception: ginger capsules may help chemotherapy nausea.

"Contrary to much popular and scientific writing, many alternative cancer treatments have been investigated in good quality clinical trials, and they have been shown to be ineffective. In this article, clinical trial data on a number of alternative cancer cures including Livingston-Wheeler, Di Bella Multi-therapy, antineoplastons, vitamin C, hydrazine sulfate, Laetrile, and psychotherapy are reviewed. The label "unproven" is inappropriate for such therapies; it is time to assert that many alternative cancer therapies have been "disproven."

Considering that there is no scientific evidence for most of the alternative treatment, what is the practice GIVING to treat the patients?
What does happened to the Ayurvedic and TCM remedies which aren’t scientifically approved ?
The House of Lords Report on complementary medicine did placed the Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese medicine in the sub-group 3a.
Group 3b covers other alternative disciplines which lack any credible evidence base such as Crystal therapy, Iridology, Radionics, Dowsing and Kinesiology.

Doctors of Naturopathic Medicine are guided by six Principles of Naturopathy, which emphasize a holistic and natural approach to patient care, diagnosis, management, and treatment of medical conditions.
1. Do No Harm
2. The Healing Power of Nature
3. Find and Treat the Cause of Illness
4. Treat the Whole Person
5. Doctor as Teacher
6. Prevention

Honestly, in your believes – is this person really doing a naturopathic healing or the mainstream medicine.
And if this person really is a ND – what are these scientifically proven remedies called?
