Can a naturopath prescribe drugs?

No, an acupuncturist does not have the authority to prescribe. An acupuncturist, within their scope of practice, may recommend to a patient herbal or vitamin supplements which will support the health of the patient. The Wisconsin Attorney General has determined that vitamins, (and herbal supplements which act as vitamins) are a food supplement. As such, no prescription is needed for non prescription level doses. If you have a question regarding a supplement that is recommended to you, consult your physician regarding whether the supplement is appropriate for you in combination with any other prescription or over the counter drugs that you may be taking.


How do opiates and narcotics affectthe nervous system?

The nervous system produces its own version of morphine. (endorphins, dynophins, enkephalin, etc.) These intrinsic opiates act at different opiate receptors(mu, beta, and kappa receptors). Extrinsic opiates, like morphine, also fit into these receptors and result in the same effects as intrinsic body opiates.(morphine's pain relieving effects are mostly due to interaction with the mu opiate receptor).

Is opiate a cholinergic antagonist?

No, opiates are not cholinergic antagonists. Opiates are a class of drugs that primarily act on the opioid receptors in the brain to produce pain relief and euphoria. Cholinergic antagonists, on the other hand, block the action of acetylcholine at cholinergic receptors, affecting processes like muscle contraction and neurotransmission. Therefore, opiates and cholinergic antagonists have different mechanisms of action and effects on the body.

Quinine is not classified as an opiate; it is actually a natural compound derived from the bark of the cinchona tree and is primarily used as an antimalarial medication. Opiates, on the other hand, are substances derived from the opium poppy and include drugs like morphine and codeine, which primarily act on the nervous system to relieve pain. While both quinine and opiates have medicinal properties, they belong to different categories and have distinct mechanisms of action.


What are the advantages of homeopathy?

If you have seen a doctor first and know that you don't need medical attention, you can use homeopathic remedies and preventatives with caution. Remember, homeopathic products are not FDA regulated and their content and claims cannot be guaranteed. Many herbal supplements and remedies have been found to contain inconsistent quantities or none at all of the listed ingredients. Further, the sources of herbal supplements are sometimes incorrectly stated; some have been found to come from unregulated processing facilities and have contained harmful contaminants. The final caution is to know what a safe level of intake of a substance is; even all natural, herbal substances can be toxic or lethal if taken in the wrong quantities or combinations. Even my own medical doctor has recommended supplements which I take, but only in the recommended quantities.
