A bold act of unencumbered magic Magic has always captivated the human imagination. It speaks to a deep-rooted desire within us to wield unseen forces and shape reality to our liking. Throughout history, countless tales have been told of individuals who have performed acts of magic, defying the laws of physics and the limitations of the human condition. These enchanting stories have both inspired and mystified us, leaving us yearning for our own taste of such power. One fateful night, a young magician decided to embark on a quest for the ultimate display of magical prowess. Determined to push the boundaries of what was deemed possible, he sought to perform a bold act of unencumbered magic.
Hermes said she doesn’t have any desire to seek out naturopathic care anymore, but she recently got a lesson from her doctor about how stress might be affecting her health. Her iron levels were low and she needed to eat more meat, the doctor said.
What I have come to appreciate, perhaps because I m a middle-aged white guy, is just how much online abuse, sexual and misogynistic abuse that women put up with, he said. It s also possible that the difference came from the extra time they spent in consultation with a clinician and that they would have gotten similar benefit from appointments with any type of health care professional, not just naturopaths.
Determined to push the boundaries of what was deemed possible, he sought to perform a bold act of unencumbered magic. This act would not only mesmerize those who witnessed it, but it would also challenge the very fabric of reality itself. For weeks, the magician secluded himself in his study, tirelessly researching ancient spell books and consulting with wise mystics.
‘Essentially witchcraft’: A former naturopath takes on her colleagues
B ritt Hermes once considered herself a doctor. Now, she’s an apostate.
Hermes spent three years practicing naturopathy, a broad-reaching form of alternative medicine that focuses on “natural” care, including herbal remedies, acupuncture, and the discredited practice of homeopathy. But unease about a colleague’s ethics led her to look more closely at her profession — and what she found alarmed her.
So for the past two years, Hermes has been waging a scathing fight against naturopathy on social media, in science blogs, and on her own website, Naturopathic Diaries, which just won a “best blog of the year” award from a scientific skepticism magazine in the United Kingdom. She has not pulled punches.
Hermes has said naturopaths use a “cornucopia of pseudoscientific methods.” She posts articles with the blunt headlines like “Naturopathic pediatrics is not safe,” “Naturopaths need to back off autism,” and “Naturopathic medicine has too much quackery.” And she’s circulating an online petition to stop states from recognizing naturopaths as primary care physicians. Her message: “Naturopaths are not doctors.”
“I’m trying to contextualize and call out the false and exaggerated claims,” she said. “They want to be able to do everything an MD wants to do — but they also want to practice essentially witchcraft.”
Hermes’s activism comes at a time when the roughly 4,400 licensed naturopaths in the US are organizing and pushing for more legitimacy.
In May, more than 100 aspiring and practicing naturopaths descended on Capitol Hill to rally support for a federal pilot program that would allow them to be reimbursed by Medicare for some patients. They’re also lobbying for expanded authority to diagnose and treat patients in a handful of states, including Massachusetts and Michigan.
Those lobbying efforts are funded in part by vitamin companies that want to see the profession grow. Many naturopaths tout dietary supplements, herbal remedies, and vitamin infusions for healing.
