Interesting link includes an account of Benedict Lust, the father of naturopathy.
From the article:
Dr. Benedict Lust enjoys a sun-bath at "Sonnenbichel" sun and air park in Kneipp-Bad Worishofen, Bavaria, Germany on a return to the Fatherland in the summer of 1926. The "Father of Naturopathy" in America, no single individual contributed more to natural healing and lifestyle in the world than Dr. Lust did through his many schools and publications. Everything from massage, herbology, raw foods, anti-vivisection and hydro-therapy to Eastern influences like Ayurveda and Yoga found their way to an American audience through Lust. Though he was repeatedly harassed by Medical authorities and Federal agents, his devotion to promoting Nature's methods of healing finaly gained wide acceptance. Like so many others from his generation, he was a tough man. (Photo from Naturopath, February, 1927)
Dr. Lust was "busted" repeatedly by American authorities and medical associations, for promoting natural methods of healing, massage and nude sun bathing at his Jungborn sanitarium. He was arrested 16 times by New York authorities and 3 times by Feds. One news headline read simply "They Have Lust Again".

This entry suggests that there is a conspiracy out there to prevent people from nature. There may have been other reasons for Lust being arrested. Perhaps he violated certain laws regarding fraud, and based on the picture public nudity.
more likely that feeble bodied medical authorities envied Ben's healthy physique.
hmm. perhaps it was felt that Lust's majestic physique was best suited to educate other jailed men.
Bones,
You sir, are a troll.
Lust was arrested due to pressure from the corrupt AMA. RTFF!
As for your ridiculous idea of public nudity, first of all he was at a sanatorium and not in public and second of all...
Who are you and what are you posting on here for?
I have read all your posts and your sole purpose seems to write inflammatory troll posts and question anything naturopathic. As for constructive engagement, there has been nothing.
Unless you can prove otherwise you are a troll and should be treated as such.
Sincerely Yours,
Jim Washington.
Anonymous, Nature boy, Jim Jones, Wolfgang, and whatever other nickname you chose to use: you are an idiot and there is no point in trying to reason with an idiot. Go look at yourself in the mirror and prove to the idiot in that mirror anything you want to.
Regarding your question, "Who are you and why are you posting here for?" On this blog, I provide a medical doctor's take on the licensure debate. Please do not read my comments in the future since doing so causes you mental anguish.
Yup,
Anonymous is right. Bones is a troll. IF he is a doctor, a doubtful premise, then he is an embarrassment to the profession.
If you are a doc then reveal yourself and at the very least stop the name-calling. Perhaps if you had more patients and fewer personality quirks you would post less and be polite more.
That is only my 2 cents. I expect that you will attack me as well for my opinion. "Violence is the last refuge of the incompetent."
And I don't know who anonymous is but it is not I.

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and usually irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response[1] or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion."-Wikipedia
Wolgang et cetera, have you looked in the mirror?
I have? Have you?
We are all know by what we do, and in the blog world, that means by what we write. It is an imperfect definition, but it is the one we have.
You have made unsubstantiated claims and ad hominem attacks since you started posting.
Do you really expect anything else but the label of troll for your efforts?
If you don't want the title then change your tactics.
