Ken Winston Cain writes in http://www.mindbodyspiritjournal.com/holistic-health/
naturopathy/stop-the-naturopathy-wars-cnmes-medically-trained
-naturopaths-need-a-distinct-title that the war declared by "health freedom"
on ND licensure will end once
the naturopathic physicians give up ND title to the unlicensables and secure for themselves
something less contentious, like Integrative Medical Doctor, or IMD.
Mr. Cain might know what it would take to bring hostilities to end, after all he founded
Boyd Landry's organisation, CNH.
Maybe he is right about the title, ND does not sound all that great, it might stand for 'nada' or 'not doctor', while IMD has more of an imperious ring, 'I, MD', akin to 'I, Claudius'.
However, it might be a mistake to take on a 3 letter abbreviation, too close to IMF and WMD,
as in International Monetary Fund and Weapons of Mass Destruction.
Here is the best title I have seen.

Leave out "Late" for the living:
Late Lord Pandit Raja-Guru Maha-Atma WHO Qualified Chinese Master-Acupuncturist Prof. Dr. Sir Holy Tibetian Lama Shaman Healer
Will everyone agree to let naturopathic physicians use this title?
Will this agreement bring to end the 'naturopathy wars'?

"Title Protection, ND or not ND" is no longer the question. YES to NDs and SF 1520!

This would be a point worth pondering if...
It weren't so ridiculous. WHy should legitimately trained ND's have to give up their title to correspondence school grads. That is 180 degree upside down of what it should be.
Let the correspondence school grads find another moniker. How about SOS [snake oil salesmen] or MLMS [multi level marketing shills].
Just my 2 cents
