[CA] Mom almost got scammed by a Med School drop out.

This is written like a letter to these « Naturopathic doctors ». Mods if this needs to be removed please let me know why because I want to edit it and make sure my story gets seen.

My mom has been depressed for years, got an autoimmune disease and sleep apnea, missing work a lot because she couldn’t get good enough rest. I’m only just 18, I’ve been trying to help her as much as possible. Sometimes it weighs down on us so much it feels like nothing will ever get better. But it is. She started going to yoga again, cooking, taking care of herself. And then her « friend » recommended a « naturopathic doctor » to her. She wanted to believe this person could change her life. Make her better. She is so down, but getting better, without this doctor. Turns out the doctor dropped out of medical school, she decided to become a naturopathic « doctor » if she couldn’t be a real one. All this progress, everything we’ve done together to make improvements, little by little, could’ve been thrown away because a med school drop out wanted to play pretend doctor.

My mom doesn’t need this crap. She doesn’t need some failure telling her to « stop eating dairy, sugar, and gluten » entirely to ‘get better’. This person who says on their website that breathing too hard causes gas and that’s my moms problem? My mom isn’t even lactose intolerant. Seriously. What a joke. Do you know how hard it’s been for us? Do you? No. How dare you call yourselves doctors. How dare you try to rip away all the progress we’ve made. Everything we’ve been through. Pain. Depression. Suffering. Loneliness. Sickness. All of this you try to take advantage of. You are evil. I’m never going to stop trying to expose all these failures for what they are. I hate you. I really, really, hate you.
