From the US, I'd like to bring to anyone's attention the claims of ND DO Chaitow [editor] et al. in the new naturopathic textbook "Naturopathic Physical Medicine" (ISBN 0443103909; 2008) that parallel ‘BCA / BCA member’ claims about treating serious pediatric illnesses with manipulations:

“a number of well-conducted studies have also shown the benefit of HVLA [high velocity low amplitude] thrust in chiropractic practice in the treatment of conditions such as infantile colic and pyloric stenosis [{wow!} p.015…and, DANGER!, one of my favorite lines in the chapter, US naturopathy’s nonsensical old saw that naturopathy’s] principles are based on the objective observation of the nature of health and disease, and are continually re-examined in the light of scientific advances [p.002…principles such as, the treatment must] harmonize with the life force [p.011…per naturo.’s model of] a vitalistic organism [p.0113 {the chapter is attributed to 7 ND luminaries of US and UK type, 3 of which hold concurrent DOs}].”

Fascinating how the US naturopathic principles are now supplanting the UK naturopathy principle, verbatim.

The book is published under a Health Sciences imprint by Elsevier.

If BCA appears 'bogus' by some critics standards, the ND-DO collective could be perceived as 'absurd'.
