It would seem that we are making moutains out of mole hills.  Naturopathic Physicians became Naturopaths for a reason.  They believe in the body and nature's ability to heal the body.  They did not become ND's to prescribe synthetic medicine. 

People seem to be concerned that ND's are going to go "crazy" with the prescriptions.  Dr. Stargrove who has been in practice for 20+ years and he stated earlier that he has barely written 20 prescriptions.  I have been in practice for 7 years and have maybe written 6, mainly antibiotics for severe infections that need antibiotics.
