The burning question is: I have XYZ complaint, should I see a Naturopath or a Homeopath?

In my OPINION, you go and see a homeopath when you have a serious complaint or disease, and a naturopath for more generalized easy to solve issues. I have this opinion because Naturopaths study many modalities but are masters of NONE.  Homeopaths are specialists. It is comparable to seeing a local MD versus a Neurologist. The local MD can help many patients solve their problems, but the problems are usually generic and easy to solve. You get the referral to the specialist for more serious cases.

Let's have fun together and answer the following questions. Would you go and see a Homeopath or a Naturopath for the following conditions.

I always know by the nature of the complaint whether it is a homeopathic case or a naturopathic case. But always remember a really good ND can do ALL of the above. Homeopathics are also better at dealing with certain conditions than herbs or acupuncture.
