Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine

Hi Ndma1,

I'm noticing the series of edits you made to the above article. Your perspective comes through very clearly--you think that the group of NDs associated with the AANP is unnecessarily or harmfully medicalizing the naturopathic tradition, while the group of NDs associated with the NANP is staying true to the naturopathic tradition.

I think that a lot of productive and healing conversation can and should happen between these two groups, but that editing this article (which is intended to be about the degree "doctor of naturopathic medicine", which is granted by the AANP-associated colleges) is not a good place to do it.

With your permission, I'd like to go ahead and revert your edits to a previous version of the article and discuss the matter civilly in a different forum, such as the 'talk page' of the article, or through emailing each other.

Please let me know what you think. Mark
