Thank you for your questions. As I have said on several posts, I have a BS in cellular and molecular biology, I have worked in cancer research for four years and published, I have taken the MCATs and scored in the 30s. I also have a number of friends in both allopathic and naturopathic medical programs. I have done extensive research into both fields through talking with many students and physicians of both medical philosophies. I have also spent a great deal of time volunteering in hospital and clinical allopathic settings and have spent time shadowing two naturopathic physicians. I have also been a patient and benefited tremendously. I hope this answers your questions satisfactorily. For every disenchanted ex-student I hear from on this web board I have spoken with at least three who feel the complete opposite.
