What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
I know my audience is going to like to hear this, but what I predict, 2028 and beyond, I think we're going to swing the other way now and we're going to elect some extreme socialist like AOC.
I agree with you. However, socialized medicine is not the answer. What is the biggest misunderstanding about naturopathic medicine? They actually criminalized medical doctors forever. from associating with what they call quackery, which was naturopathic, homeopathic, midwifery, and herbal medicine. By who? Rockefeller.
20,000 new doctors will graduate medical school this year, and most of them were never taught how to actually get someone well, not how to find root cause, not how to reverse chronic illness, not how to use food, environment, or lifestyle as real medicine. They were trained in a system where the standard of care isn't always the best care. It's just the most approved, the most billable, and the most protected. So what happens to the patients who don't get better? Today's guest has spent over two decades documenting exactly that. Joining me today is Razzie Berry, yes, like raspberry, founder and publisher of NDNR, the Journal of Applied Natural Medicine, home to the largest archive of naturopathic, integrative and functional medicine case reports.
What is the biggest misunderstanding about naturopathic medicine?
She spent over 20 years chronicling the history, the patterns and the quiet tensions between conventional and natural medicine. We're talking about how modern medicine became pharmaceutical first, why natural and low cost therapies were pushed to the margins, and who actually decides what counts as legitimate care. This episode is going to challenge what you think you know about healthcare and also just give a basic like fifth grade level understanding of what naturopathic medicine is and why it may be the best alternative for your family and encourage you to get out of the typical health insurance matrix and start paying cash for your doctor.

This year, 20,000 MDs are graduating medical school. What did they not learn in school that is now going to impact how they practice medicine?
So medical school is like, let's say Harvard Medical School. It's about 23 or 31 courses throughout the whole medical curriculum, which is about a year and a half of schooling. And then they go straight into clinical. They are then shadowing the other doctors or following the other doctors who are doing these five to 15 minute patient visits. And so they aren't getting as deep of a didactic education where they can really think about the rationale behind a treatment that a patient would get. Whereas in naturopathic medical school, it's more like 130 courses that are taken throughout the whole four years. And they don't do as much clinical rotation until later when they're But in my opinion, that sets up the MD.
And it's not the MD's fault, the way the education is structured. But they aren't as prepared to think outside of the box, to treat the patient as an individual, to get to their individual history, their background, what they've been exposed to, even stresses in their lives, to really put together that. a treatment plan. And so they also don't have as much biochemistry, which is important to understand how natural and synthetic products affect you at a cellular level. So it's a lot more, medical school is a lot more, you learn, you know, 23 to 31 courses, and then you're just in there following a doctor who's quickly treating the patient, kind of constrained by the insurance model. And so I think it's difficult for them to be able to really
have a rationale of the therapeutic decisions they're going to make.
You've spent over 20 years kind of taking note of all of the times that traditional conventional medicine has failed people with extraordinary cases.
