Have you seen this website (or similar)!?

You won't regret homeopathy!. It's the closest thing to miraculous cures!.!.!.yet is scientific!.

I struggled with the same choice more than 15 years ago (in terms of professional training)!. A holistic acupuncturist asked me what I wanted to do!? "Homeopathy," thus, my answer!.

Naturopathy is essentially MD training with adjunctive, natural modalities (primarily herbs, yet electives that include homeopathy)!. Homeopathy - after being long immersed in the field - is comprehensive, unique, and as satisfying a healing modality as possible!.

Homeopathy uses specific remedies that stimulate the body's natural healing responses!.!.!. it's kind of a similar idea to vaccinations!.
Naturopathy uses any natural therapy or product, whether it be herbs, homeopathy, diet, exercise, or anything else that would benefit the body as a whole!. Typically, they would avoid drugs, surgeries, or any other invasive processes to help facilitate the body's natural ability to heal itself!.
Granted, the best doctors, whether they be Naturopaths, Homeopaths, or otherwise will have an open mind to any other methods that may be needed!. Sometimes enough damage has been done that surgery may be needed (especially impacts like a broken arm, for example)!.

Homeopathy is totally quack - no homeopathic medicine has any usefulness whatsoever!. Homeopathy is based on a completely worthless theory which has been discredted for more than a century!. Whereas, some naturopathic medicines actually have active ingredients that may have some health benefits - there is no generally agreed on explanation of what 'naturopathic' means so there are very few general statements that you can make about it!. Naturopathic medicines are NOT required to measure the pharmaceutical activity or contents of their dosage forms!.

Allopathic and Osteopathic medicine is medicine based on modern scientific research and evidence gathered by researchers using peer reviewed techniques and reliable statistical methods!. Allopathic medicines are medicines which may originally have been naturopathic, but now they have been tried out in clinical trials under scientific scrutiny and shown to be effective, have been manufactured under controlled conditions, and are required by law to contain the stated amount of active ingredient they claim!. (unlike naturopathic medicines which may or may not contain active ingredient, and homeopathic medicines which do not contain any active ingredients and are not required by law to prove that they do, or to prove that they have any benefit!.)

ps Homeopathy is NOT similar to immunizations!. Homeopathic "medicines" do not contain active ingredients and do NOT "stimulate" or have any effect whatsoever on the human body!. They are completely inactive!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

The first person gave an interesting answer, but it is very wrong!.

Naturopathy is using natural, non-pharmaceutical means to cure/ameliorate disease!. These methods include diet, exercise, dietary supplements, herbal medicines, essential oils and more!.

Naturopathic medicines actually have active ingredients that DO have health benefits!. Naturopathy is ALSO medicine based on modern scientific research and evidence gathered by researchers using peer reviewed techniques and reliable statistical methods!. Allopathic medicines are pharmaceutical and not natural, even if the active ingredient was originally found in nature!. Pharmaceutical companies artificially manufacture these active ingredients in bulk and make a lot of money from them!. Many of these pharmaceuticals have undergone false/nonexistent studies to get FDA approval!.

All medicinal herbs and vitamins have been manufactured under controlled conditions, and are required by law to contain the stated amount of active ingredient they claim!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Antibiotics have NOTHING to do with homeopathy!. That statement is an affront to medical science!.

Homeopathy is not only implausible, impossible, and can't beat placebo in all proper independent clinical trials, it is borderline criminal!. Please check this link:

Naturopathy is not much better!. It is NOT based on medical science!. It is ANTI medical science!. Until patients get really sick!.

EDIT: You people here supporting homeopathy, please go ahead and post links to your clinical trials that show efficacy - ie: better than placebo, meaning INDEPENDENT, randomized, double blinded, peer reviewed in proper medical journals, not just quack journals!.

Also explain how a diluted preparation of water with not one single molecule of the original active ingredient left, can possibly have any kind of efficacy in treating disease!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

think of naturopathy as the tree and homeopathy as a branch on that tree!.
two patients may come to a naturopathic doctor with the same condition and after the analysis of the situation the doctor may recommend homeopathy to one and herbal therapy to the other!.
