When it comes to research, it is often thought that there is very little research done in the world of alternative care. This is far from reality. Actually, the very first double blind studies that were ever conducted in North America were homeopathic studies, in 1880. In addition, extensive research on vitamins was already in the works in the 1950s, and it has expanded since to all spheres of alternative care such that today, in addition to the numerous well-researched books now available on the market, there are many journals on which the naturopath can rely to keep updated with the latest research. Following are just a few examples: Alternative Medical Review Clinical Practice of Alternative Medicine Complementary therapies in Medicine Focus on Alternative and Complementary Therapies Herbalgram Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine International Journal of Naturopathic Medicine Similimum – Journal of the Homeopathic Academy of Naturopathic Physicians Homeo Times Homeopathic Links When working on a case, the naturopathic doctor will thus use many different, well-research references in addition to the empirical knowledge passed on by elders over generations.
