I went down that rabbit hole to have a more informed opinion and I found that accepted science would converge on some of the same goals naturopaths and other alternative medicine practitioners eventually. Basically, they both want personalized medicine. As in, remedies that are custom tailored to the internal state of the individual, instead of “personalized” by listening to an individual describe a current ongoing affliction. Alternative medicine lacks any method for peer review or repeatability and practitioners themselves procedurally generate the remedies, which makes it incapable of being accepted science except by mere coincidence of some practices eventually being peer reviewed if reviewable at all. This is by a design that is comical to the scientific community, where “everybody is different”. At the same time, the scientific method and peer review itself is too rigid to evaluate all ailments, without associated advances in technology. This is also by design as it was necessary to distinguish the sciences from arbitrarily religious or arbitrarily heretical practices at one point in some areas. Now we are on the cusp of convergence of the ideals, by being able to analyze and sequence the symbiotic relationships within our bodies. How little control we have in many cases, or at least potentially redefining the sense of self.
