As the MNHLRP lobbyist Karen Studders says, "the answer is mixed".
Many diet supplement multi-level distributors acquire bogus Doctor of Naturopathy degrees from diploma mills as a marketing ploy for their pyramid schemes.
It is one of the main reasons the MLM companies fight regulating licensable naturopathic doctors.
In contrast, the licensed NDs' professional organizations consider MLM schemes unethical and, in some cases, even expressly prohibit their members from engaging in MLM activities.
Look at the College of Naturopathic Physicians of British Columbia Advertising Policy:

4. Representation
4.1 A Registrant must not:
d. solicit or involve a patient to sell multi-level Marketing products for the direct or indirect
benefit of the Registrant.
Please make a stand for quality health care in Minnesota and support SF 1520!
MN Statute 147E registers naturopathic doctors effective July 2009 and mandates a work group to recommend measures to ensure MN Statute 146A effectively protects unlicensed healers and, also, to study naturopathic regulation laws in other states. All opinions welcome. In the spirit of the work group, where the unregulated and regulated healers concerns will find an equitable solution, we hope this blog will engender a friendly and meaningful conversation.
