You are, of course, entitled to your opinion. I would just like to point out that there are many misconceptions about naturopathic doctors. For example, did you know that licensed NMDs attend a four-year graduate level naturopathic medical school and are educated in all of the same basic sciences as an MD? In addition they study holistic and nontoxic approaches to therapy with a strong emphasis on disease prevention and optimizing wellness. Licensed NMDs also undergo rigorous medical board examinations and are licensed in Arizona as primary care general practice physicians, just like MDs. Rather than offhandedly dismissing naturopathic medicine as "quackery," I'd invite you to learn more about it. A good place to start might be at the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians website: http://www.naturopathic.org/
