I need to find a good homeopathic/naturopathic doctor to help me with my RA. I'm sick of it and tired of doctors who just want to write scripts.

In case anyone was wondering, licensed naturopathic doctors attend four years of accredited graduate medical school similar to other medical doctors including two years of clinical training and must pass both basic science and clinical board exams. The Massachusetts Society of Naturopathic Doctors has a list of docs on their website www.msnd.org. We often get lumped in with unlicensed alternative medicine folks who don't have the same standards of training.
Does anyone have a Boston-area naturopathic doctor that they can highly recommend?

Check out the Mass Society of Naturopathic Doctors website, www.msnd.org. Shiva Barton is in Winchester, I don't know him personally but he's very highly respected in the profession. Also, we're currently pushing for licensure in Massachusetts, asking your state senator/rep to support H3674 will help to allow us to practice to the full extent of our training.
