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.

Just not correct at all. Network Marketing is a legitimate, honest, ethical model of both business and way for consumers to genuinely improve their health and wealth,. It is obvious from words here you have never aligned yourself with a network marketing organization. Most big box stores, drug RX stores, department stores and even doctor offices sell inferior, unclean ingredient products. These corporate produced products are formulated with 3-5% of company's budget + 50% in formal advertising-tv, print media, magazines, online, websites.
In network marketing the products are formulated with 25-35% of company's budget. The advertising is done organically, naturally by word of mouth, hence the 50% available to pay & reward those sharing products and home based business.
Research court case 1978-1979 Amway won against the false and demonizing that went on about network marketing which closed this unfounded, misunderstood business.
Encourage you to stop writing about an industry you have no real experience or knowledge of.
