We have written to the CEO of Southern Health, Shelly Park, about our concerns regarding the appointment of a naturopath at Moorabbin Endometriosis Clinic. Ms Park is unconcerned that there is no evidence base for naturopathy, & that there is no evidence that its prescriptions are safe. Indeed, she suggests that naturopathy is actually a discipline! We are amazed that public money can be spent on unproved and possibly unsafe interventions when we can’t get vacant positions filled at Southern Health. To quote a member:
“Great to see MSAV taking on the witchdoctors, who purport to have a practice equivalent to ours. Wishful thinking doesn't make something so. Science makes it so. To quote Tim Minchin, in his poem about the tenets of homeopathy "Water [supposedly] has memory and while its memory of a long-lost drop of onion juice is infinite, it somehow forgets all the poo it's had in it" (Tim Minchin: "Storm".) "Alternative therapies" are an insult to science by claiming equivalence of their fairy stories to our years of laborious research.” http://podblack.com/2009/01/tim-minchins-storm-now-featured-online
