NDs targetting High School audiences.

[Eos of the Eons]

Goodman will speak at Bristol Central, 480 Wolcott St., Tuesday at 7 p.m. The event is free and open to the public.

Goodman is a licensed doctor of naturopathic medicine by the state Department of Public Health and serves as the director of Bristol’s Solutions for Better Health.

Naturopathic.org states that the practice "combines safe and effective traditional therapies with the most current advances in modern natural medicine. Naturopathic medicine is appropriate for the management of a broad range of health conditions affecting all age groups."

What the heck is "modern natural medicine"?

"I am giving people the alternative, letting them know what I do and how I fit in as a piece of the health puzzle and I want to support people’s health and serve as a complementary role to maximize people’s health."

Yeah right, up until he tells people that their "modern medicine" is killing them with "drugs".

Their take on Homeopathy

homeopathy has been recognized, through rigorous testing and experimentation, as having significant scientific evidence supporting its efficacy and safety. Single medicines are given on the basis of an individual's manifestation of a disease state in comparison to combination remedies which are given on the basis of a particular diagnostic category.

Okay, hopefully most of the kids won't want to bother with going to their school after hours.


OHHHHH Yesss, Goodman offers HOMEOPATHIC VACCINATION

Gah. One of the saddest? most disturbing? things is that the high school probably doesn't teach the students much in the way of critical thinking skills. So any student who goes to this won't have a way to fight off the bull****.

Worse yet, I'll bet naive parents drag their kids in for a bit of "health education".

Me fears this will turn kids to those horrible miseducations in "alternative med schools", and parents willing to pay for it.

Not to mention, I'll bet this guy increases his "client base". Sugar pills instead of flu shots, he will hock his snake oil. What kid would take a shot over a sugar pill??

Man, that Bristol Press article is a prime example of crap journalism. It reads like a naturopathic press release, which makes it patently obvious the author didn't bother doing any actual research and the editor didn't see fit to make him.

Hmmmmmmmmmmm.

Couldn't we couch critical thinking into a special interest group and go around to high schools debunking stuff?


Seems appropriate in this instance to fight fire with fire.

The last company hubby worked for would have these 'seminars' about health (my guess is their insurance company gave them a discount for this garbage) mostly provided by various alternative medicine peddlers. The seminars were really little more than advertising for the peddler's practice.

Maybe we should teach them that in elementary. Or better yet... at home. Of course, that's assuming the PARENTS and TEACHERS have any critical skills to start with.
