Evidence-based medicine and naturopathy.

Evidence-based medicine (EBM) has been advocated as a new paradigm in orthodox medicine and as a methodology for natural medicines, which are often accused of lacking an adequate scientific basis. This paper presents the voices of tradition-sensitive naturopathic practitioners in response to what they perceive as an ideologic assault by EBM advocates on the validity and integrity of natural medicine practice. Those natural medicine practices, which have tradition-based paradigms articulating vitalistic and holistic principles, may have significant problems in relating to the idea of EBM as developed in biomedical contexts. The paper questions the appropriateness of imposing a methodology that appears to minimize or bypass the philosophic and methodological foundations of natural medicine, and that itself seems primarily driven by political considerations.

[Transgressing the limits of naturopathy].

Three examples of the tendency of nonconventional medicine to transgress its self-imposed limits are presented: (1) the efforts of Benveniste to confer scientific respectability on homeopathy; (2) the attempt, by press conference, to popularize home delivery; (3) the creation of a new demand by the offer of subaquatic delivery.
