Abstract:
Despite the over 62 years of Naturopathy’s existence in the Ghanaian jurisdiction, no single tertiary program in Naturopathy or Complementary and Alternative Medicine is taught. The practice has not been streamlined and properly structured. Those who engage in the Naturopathic trade mostly receive their education through correspondence from unrecognized and unaccredited foreign schools that teach a limited aspect of naturopathy. : Following the development and approval of two Naturopathic programs; The Higher National Diploma (HND) for training Naturopaths and Bachelor of Technology in Naturopathy and Holistic Medicine, a 5-year program for Naturopathic Physicians, this paper provides a critical evaluation of the curricula approved by the Commission for Technical and Vocational Education and Training (CTVET) in Ghana. This paper employs a sequential two-stage qualitative process. In phase one, the two curricula were submitted to the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF) Canada, for evaluation. Phase two involved a document analysis using the curriculum recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO), the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF), and the South African Naturopathic curriculum. An in-depth evaluation and comparison with the Ghanaian program were conducted, together with abstracted WNF responses which were then analyzed thematically. After the necessary recommendations by WNF were adopted. The two Ghanaian curricula met the international standard. The recommendations also strengthened the mandatory general area of competence in Naturopathic training. The Ghanaian Bachelor’s in Naturopathy has total clock hours of 5,979, which surpasses the South African degree in Naturopathy(5,950) clock hours. The Ghanaian naturopathic mandatory and elective subjects in the curricula meet the international standards. Issues raised by World Naturopathic Federations (WNF) were all addressed to strengthen the program.

Abstract:
Abstract The introduction of naturopathy in India can be traced back to the colonial period when it was fielded in resistance to the growing prominence of biomedicine. Reporting the findings of an empirical study conducted in two naturopathy centers in Delhi, this article explores its contradictions, contestations, and co-optations with biomedicine. It argues that biomedicine conditions the proliferation of yoga and naturopathy through its shortcomings and excesses. Patient accounts reveal that the pursuit of yoga and naturopathic treatment is propelled by their dissatisfaction with biomedicine and perception of risk involved in the ingestion of drugs. Furthermore, the study explores how patients and practitioners negotiate through pluralistic settings, imposed by the adoption of biomedical diagnostics and nosology that contradict naturopathy’s episteme. The practice of naturopathy and yoga demonstrates therapeutic regimes severed from their ontological bearings, reducing them merely to adjunct therapies adapted to a biomedical episteme.

Abstract:
Naturopathic medicine, also known as naturopathy, is a type of complementary and alternative medicine. It appeals to many people, especially those who desire a “holistic” approach to both prevention and treatment. While there is much variation in the types of treatment used by different naturopaths, commonly used ones include acupuncture, herbalism, and homeopathy. These types of treatment often lack sound supporting evidence of efficacy. But at the same time naturopaths are often hostile to conventional drugs, even those that are of proven effectiveness and pose little risk of harmful side effects. Many naturopaths employ treatments, such as diet, herbs, fasting, and colonic irrigation that are claimed to “detoxify” the body and thereby lead to improved health. There is a complete absence of supporting evidence for this type of therapy. Some aspects of the theories and practices employed by naturopaths are well supported by the evidence. In particular, the emphasis that naturopaths place on leading a healthy lifestyle so as to prevent disease is entirely consistent with modern concepts in this area. Overall, the positive aspects of naturopathy are greatly outweighed by the negative aspects.

Abstract:
Naturopathy is the general practice of Natural remedies. Others have also opined that Naturopathy is the way of life. Additionally, any natural modality that is effective and has scientific support is considered Naturopathy in the modern dispensation. The naturopathic movement started in the 19th century by the hydrotherapy and nature cure proponents in Austria and Germany and professionalized in North America. Africa, Naturopathy is well appreciated in South Africa and is a highly regulated Profession. In Ghana, we found that the Naturopathy movement started in the 1960s. It has however gained momentum in the current dispensation with the development of Ghana’s first National Occupational Standards in Naturopathy at the Higher National Diploma and Bachelors level awaiting accreditation. Research and standardization have also intensified due to the work of Ghana’s first Naturopathic Medical School; Nyarkotey University College of Holistic Medicine & Technology (NUCHMT). We provide commentary on the Naturopathy journey in Ghana in this article.

Abstract:
Medicine has evolved, and as such, the practice of naturopathy in the past cannot be likened to Naturopathy in this modern era. Due to this, there is a need for standardized structuring in modern Naturopathy, especially in the context of African Naturopathy. Modern Naturopathy is science-based. The Biomedical component of modern Naturopathy cannot be underestimated, as it plays an integral role in the recognition of Naturopathic practitioners and the integration pathway into the Ghanaian healthcare space and Africa’s entirety.

Abstract:
Weight gain and obesity are posing a great threat to the health of women giving rise to various complications; hence ways and means of reducing the occurrence of obesity needs to be explored. Naturopathy is one of the systems that provide a positive solution for obesity. One hundred obese women in the age group of 25-50 years were selected by random sampling from naturopathic hospitals in Trivandrum district. Naturopathic dietary regimen comprised of three phases- fasting phase, fast breaking phase II and III respectively The naturopathic treatment rendered to obese volunteers brought about significant changes in anthropometric indices as well as biochemical parameters viz blood glucose, total cholesterol, HDL and LDL which was found to be significant at 1% level using t test. The vegetarian diet seems to have positive influence on health, nutritional status, life expectancy ad morbidity rate. Key words: Naturopathy, Weight reduction, BMI, lipid profile, vegetarian diet

Abstract:
ObjectivesNaturopathy is a traditional medicine system informed by codified philosophies and principles, and an emphasis on non-pharmacologic therapeutic interventions. While naturopathy is practised by approximately 75 000–100 000 000 naturopathic practitioners in at least 98 countries, little is known about the international prevalence of history of consultation with a naturopathic practitioner. This study reports a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies describing the global prevalence of history of consultation with a naturopathic practitioner by the general population.SettingThe included literature was identified through a systematic search of eight databases between September and October 2019, as well as the grey literature.ParticipantsStudies were included if they reported the prevalence rate of consultations with a naturopathic practitioner by the general population.InterventionsSurvey items needed to report consultations with a naturopathic practitioner as defined in the country where data was collected, and not combine naturopathic consultations with other health services or only report consulations for illness populations.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrimary measures used for the analysis was consultations in the previous 12 months. Other prevalence timeframes were reported as secondary measures.MethodsMeta-analysis of prevalence data was conducted using random effects models based on individual countries and WHO world regions.ResultsThe literature search identified eight manuscripts summarising 14 studies reporting prevalence for inclusion in the review. All included studies had a low risk of bias. Meta-analysis of the included studies by world region found the 12-month prevalence of history of naturopathy consultations ranged from 1% in the Region of the Americas to 6% in the European and Western Pacific Regions.ConclusionsThere are up to sixfold differences in the prevalence of naturopathy consults over 12 months between and within world regions, which may be driven by a range of policy, legislative and social factors.PROSPERO registration numberCRD42020145529.

Nesta dissertação, apresentam-se os fatores que permitem à Naturopatia/ Naturologia ser entendida como uma nova Racionalidade Médica. Para tanto, partiu-se do conceito de Racionalidades Médicas e suas dimensões: Cosmologia, Doutrina Médica, Morfologia e Dinâmica Vital, Diagnose e Terapêutica. Utilizou-se o método de investigação de abordagem qualitativa classificando-se, de acordo com Apolinário (2006), em descritiva, documental; conforme a fonte geradora das informações, sendo objetos da pesquisa programas de disciplinas, matrizes curriculares e informações fornecidas nos sites institucionais de ensino superior em Naturopatia, no mundo, e Naturologia, no Brasil. O objetivo desse trabalho foi demonstrar como se apresentam as dimensões constituintes de uma Racionalidade Médica para a Naturopatia/Naturologia. Conforme os critérios de inclusão e exclusão dezesseis instituições foram analisadas em sete países. Como resultado, a Naturopatia/Naturologia pode ser considerada uma nova Racionalidade Médica, sendo entendida nas seis dimensões: uma cosmologia sincrética, dada à posteriori pautada na esfera própria de cada sujeito; uma Doutrina Médica multidimensional, integral, holística e vitalista. De promoção, prevenção e controle das condições de saúde e adoecimento dos sujeitos; uma Morfologia e Dinâmica Vital associativas, uma composição sintética dos saberes ocidentais e orientais em ciências da saúde; um Sistema Diagnóstico, misto das ferramentas das Racionalidades Chinesa e Ayrvédica, das práticas da Racionalidade Biomédica (conforme legislação de cada país), das Práticas Integrativas e Complementares; um Sistema Terapêutico (não fechado) com diferentes práticas das Racionalidades Médicas, Terapêuticas Tradicionais, Fitoterapia, Florais e Aromas, Terapêuticas relacionadas à Nutrição e as Práticas Integrativas e Complementares.

Abstract:
A grounded theory method was used to investigate the experiences of women who use naturopathic medicine, a system of alternative therapy, for health care during the menopausal transition. Transcripts of 16 in-depth interviews with women who received naturopathic health care during the menopausal transition were analyzed with respect to three research questions: (a) Why do women seek naturopathic health care during the menopausal transition? (b) Do women who use naturopathic treatment for menopausal health care share similar experiences of menopause? and ( c) Are women satisfied with the naturopathic treatment they receive for menopausal health care? Conditions leading to informants' use of naturopathy were represented by two categories: Practicing natural self-care, and Rejecting the conventional medical system Experiences of menopause were represented by three categories: It's not a singular event, Paying attention to changes in and around me, and Information helps. Informants' satisfaction with naturopathy for menopause-related health care was represented by four categories: Naturopathy is consistent with engaging in natural self-care practices, Naturopathy is effective in treating troubling menopausal signs, Naturopathy addresses individual and interrelated aspects of menopause, and Naturopathy provides moral and informational support. Continued analysis of the data revealed a core category, Exchanging infonnation, that provided a foundation for the theoretical model representing the experience of women who use naturopathic health care at menopause. The grounded theory developed in this study may be useful to health professionals by increasing understanding of the naturopathic health care option for menopausal women. Suggestions for further study include quantitative evaluation of components of the theory developed in this study, continued qualitative and quantitative investigation of aspects of information exchange between patients and their conventional and alternative practitioners, application of grounded theory methodology to studies of women's use of hormone replacement therapy, and application of grounded theory methodology to studies of patients' selection of alternative medicine for health matters other than menopause.

Full text
Abstract:
Purpose: Parental decisions to vaccinate their children may be impacted by the advice of health care providers practicing complementary and alternative medicine (CAM). Available literature suggests an association between vaccine delay or refusal and CAM use, decreased vaccination status of naturopathic patients, and increased vaccine hesitancy among naturopathic students. Some naturopathic physicians state that their approach towards discussions about childhood vaccinations may support families in choosing partial vaccination over complete refusal, ultimately contributing to an overall increase in vaccinations. Methods: Using a modified Health Belief Model as a theoretical framework, this online survey of naturopathic physicians assessed childhood vaccine-related perceptions and practices. The survey instrument was developed through an iterative process using surveys from previous research, adapted by expert opinion and input from focus group participants. Results: Surveys were completed between October and November 2014 by 145 naturopathic physicians (response rate 28.7%) licensed and practicing in Vermont or Oregon State. The vast majority of respondents (93%) discuss childhood vaccines with their patients, and discussions may include numerous topics focused on assessing individualized risk factors and providing information to parents. Most (70%) assist parents in creating a customized vaccine schedule for their children, which may delay the start of vaccination until a later age, give select vaccines only, and/or spread out the vaccine schedule (as compared to the CDC-ACIP recommended schedule). Vaccine-specific safety concerns are highly prevalent (67%), vary by vaccine, and include concerns regarding vaccine schedule, necessity, risk for potential adverse effects, and safety of vaccine ingredients. The majority of respondents use a variety of approaches intended to reduce adverse effects of vaccination (91%) and to make childhood vaccination safer and more effective (93%). Finally, most respondents are in agreement with each other on key vaccination beliefs underscoring both concerns and the importance of childhood vaccinations. Conclusions: Results highlight an individualized approach towards childhood vaccinations by naturopathic physicians, often including a customized schedule and in-depth conversations with parents. The impact of this approach on parental vaccine choice and public health remains unknown. Results may promote further understanding of the various therapeutic recommendations and safety concerns regarding childhood vaccinations held by naturopathic physicians and can potentially foster more effective communication among all healthcare providers on this important public health issue.

Abstract:
Les médecines alternatives et complémentaires (MAC) gagnent en popularité dans de la population québécoise, dont la naturopathie. En parallèle, un phénomène d’hésitation à la vaccination gagne de l’ampleur mondialement. Si cette tendance perdure, les taux de vaccination pourraient chuter et plusieurs maladies graves pourraient connaître une recrudescence. La littérature sur les MAC montre que ces praticiens de la santé et leurs usagers ont des attitudes plutôt négatives envers la vaccination. Il est dès lors impératif d’étudier les liens entre l’hésitation à la vaccination et la naturopathie québécoise. Dans le cadre de ma maîtrise, je me suis penché sur l’influence des savoirs et de la confiance sur les manières de penser les risques liés à la vaccination des naturopathes, en plus d’examiner la façon dont ceux-ci gèrent ces risques. Pour ce faire, j’ai réalisé 15 entrevues semi-dirigées auprès de naturopathes québécois. Les résultats de ma recherche montrent que l’approche naturopathique québécoise de la santé cherche à déterminer les causes des maladies dans une perspective holiste afin de stimuler la vitalité du corps. Les maladies ont ainsi pour origine les déséquilibres de ce que les naturopathes nomment le « terrain ». À travers leurs pratiques, principalement axées sur la nutrition, ils cherchent à rendre leurs clients autonomes et responsables de leur santé afin qu’ils puissent rééquilibrer eux-mêmes leurs terrains et ainsi accéder à la santé. Cette conception de la santé et des soins, jumelée à la confiance que les naturopathes ont envers leur savoir expérientiel, est centrale dans la manière dont ils pensent les risques inhérents à la vaccination et aux maladies infectieuses. Les risques que la vaccination rompe l’homéostasie du terrain sont conçus comme plus grands que ceux liés aux maladies infectieuses. C’est pourquoi les naturopathes adoptent plusieurs stratégies pour gérer ces risques, lesquelles visent le maintien de l’équilibre du terrain.
Complementary and Alternative Medicine (CAM), particularly naturopathy, has increased in popularity among the Quebec population. Simultaneously, vaccine hesitancy is gaining momentum worldwide. If this trend persists, vaccination rates could decrease and there could be a resurgence of many deadly illnesses. Scientific literature suggests that CAM practitioners and their users have generally negative attitudes towards vaccination. It is therefore of the utmost importance to study the links between vaccine hesitancy and naturopathy in Quebec. Within the scope of my Master’s, I studied the influence of knowledge and trust on naturopaths’ ways of reasoning about risks associated with vaccination and I investigated how they manage these risks. To achieve this goal, I conducted 15 semi-structured interviews with Quebec naturopaths. The results of my research suggest that Quebec naturopaths believe that health can be achieved through a study of the causes of diseases in a holistic perspective and through the stimulation of the body’s vitality. Diseases, in this perspective, come from the imbalances of what naturopaths call the “field”. Through their practice, primarily based on nutrition, they encourage their clients to autonomously take responsibility for their health so they can restore the balance of their fields themselves, and therefore, return to health. This notion of health and care, paired with the trust naturopaths have toward their experiential knowledge, play a key role in how they think about risks inherent to vaccination and infectious diseases. Concerns about the risks that vaccination might break the homeostasis of the field are far greater than those associated with the risk of infectious diseases. Therefore, to manage these risks, naturopaths adopt many strategies that target the upholding of the field’s balance.

Abstract:
Naturopathic medical schools are concerned with low first-time pass rates on the Naturopathic Physicians Licensing Exam Part I (NPLEX I) that may impact schools' accreditation with the Council on Naturopathic Medical Education (CNME). At a North American school of naturopathic medicine first-time pass rates have been a concern for 3 of the last 5 years. The purpose of this quantitative study was to determine whether students' naturopathic basic science content area scores predict NPLEX I scores at this this school. Grounded in general systems theory, a predictive correlational research design utilizing multiple logistic regression analyses was used. Archival data were obtained from the school for students who completed NPLEX I and all basic science courses. For the first model, microbiology, pathologyplus (including pathology and other content), and disease/dysfunction scores were obtained for N = 208 students. For the second model, anatomy, physiology, biochemistry, and structure/function scores were obtained for N = 256 students. For each model, students' groups of basic science content area final exam scores were analyzed against NPLEX I scores to determine predictive relationships. Results indicated pathologyplus, anatomy, and physiology scores were significant predictors of NPLEX I performance, microbiology and biochemistry were not significant predictors, and students who completed NPLEX I during the August 2015 administration were most likely to earn passing scores on NPLEX I. Based on the findings a position paper was developed recommending curriculum mapping to examine alignment and make all content areas predictive of NPLEX I performance. Positive social change may ensue by increasing the reputation of the schools and profession of naturopathic medicine.
