 : While we are discussing Atwood's well-researched and supported comments on Naturopathy, is there a particular reason why we do not cite his actual report to the Massachusetts committee debating licensure of Naturopathy (convenience link)? It is labeled as ""Kimball C. Atwood, M.D. Representing the Massachusetts Medical Society"", which ought to make it plenty reliable. Or Naturopathy: a monograph (RTF file, convenience link), labeled ""Prepared by Kimball C. Atwood, M.D., Representative of the Massachusetts Medical Society, for the Massachusetts Special Commission on Complementary and Alternative Medical Practitioners""? -   "
