Are there certain diseases not to see a naturopath for?
It depends. Naturopathic Physicians can deal with primarily any disease however, in some states, they are limited in the ways they can practice and the options they can offer you.

Just a note: there is a difference between a Naturopathic Physician that is trained in a 4 year accredited University with Board exams, and a Naturopath that gets their degree online. READ MORE
