Organic Food and ' Dr. ' Worthington

[Guest guest]

Hi folks:

A little more on this issue:

It appears that ' ' ' Dr.' ' ' Worthington is a doctor of

naturopathy. The following is from what appears to be Dr.

Worthington's website:

" Nutrikinetics was founded in 1988 by Dr. Worthington , a clinical

nutritionist, and Dr. Shambaugh, a chiropractor. The name comes from

nutrition (nutri) and kinetics (meaning motion). The logo is

essentially a yin-yang symbol, incorporating leaves and a spine as the

divider. Both the logo and the name are meant to represent the

integration of the two disciplines of chiropractic and nutrition.

Besides her clinical practice of nutrition and naturopathy, Dr.

Worthington writes articles for both popular and technical sources.

Her latest publication, in a peer-reviewed medical journal,

illustrates the nutritional superiority of organic food. "

I wonder where she acquired that qualification and how much time it

took her to get it. (I recall a previous member here who bragged

about her ' PhD '. It turned out that from no degree at all to PhD

had entailed a little more than one year (!) of correspondence

courses.)

For the record, what QuackWatch has to say about naturopathy can be
