You're mistaking naturopathy for homeopathy. Plus, your world-view is 
getting in the way. The  truth is, there are "mysteries" which science 
as-we-know-it cannot explain. The fact that science ("official" science, 
anyway) cannot explain homeopathy has no influence whatsoever on the 
thousands of people worldwide who benefit from its practice. Science is not 
yet finished explaining the world to us; it's evolving, and so are we. 
Keeping an open mind is good survival instinct.

Anybody interested in a new and "unproven" effective treatment for bacterial 
and viral disease?
