Many of the Dental offices I have seen recently have started offering services totally unrelated to Dentistry, many are like day spas, I even have a pamphlet from one near my mother's apartment in Chicago. The purpose of medicine is to serve mankind and to use medical treatments that are based on sound research and scientific fact. When we start offering nonsense like oriental medicine we insult our own training and education. Oriental medicine should be practice by naturopaths not my medical doctors.

No, because Naturopaths follow a different philosophy than Allopathic and Osteopathic physicians.

There is a big difference between philosophy and science. This is why MDs aren't PhD's. I will admit there are SOME studies on naturopathic stuff, and some do work. By and large, it is an unproven field. G
