Here's an excerpt from tnat article:

"
It also reflects a new era in naturopathy, a field which, simply put,
believes in using nature to heal nature. Home to the country's most
prominent school of alternative medicine, Bastyr University in Kenmore,
Washington is one of only 14 states plus the District of Columbia that
licenses naturopaths. In 1993, as part of a sweeping health care reform
package, the state passed a law requiring insurance companies to cover
services rendered by all types of licensed health care providers, including
naturopaths. The move prompted several insurance plans to proffer
naturopaths as primary care providers. Regence BlueShield did so. So did
Boeing, which is self-insured and is where Megan's father works the
graveyard shift as a heating and refrigeration technician."

Oops, Brad.

It seems that the ND's are being paid by insurers.

Where does that leave your conspiracy theories now?
