Anybody who can't stand the heat should get out of the kitchen--or not enter it in the first place. She made some outlandish claims (especially for an MD) and did not back them up with evidence. That was reason enough for the two Macs to respond the way they did.

She is NOT an MD. Naturopaths do not go to medical school, they go to a college of naturopathy and are a licensed profession in less than half of the states in the U.S.. They mix traditional medicine with theories which are generally regarded as pseudoscience. They do not have the same level of training as medical doctors because they are not required to do an internship or residency before they practice. Medical Doctors have to do at least 1 year of internship after med school followed by at least 2 years of residency for basic primary care and even more training for ObGyn or Surgery and sometimes additional years for subspecialty fellowship such as cardiology, gastro, enodcrine etc.
Technically they are doctors but they are not MD's
You're right, and I know that they are not MDs. I read the ND as MD. If I had realized it I would have written my response differently. IMO, Naturopaths are quacks.
