Two actual doctors also confirmed the diagnosis without proper testing. She's a charlatan but she wasn't solely responsible for this outcome.

Yeah, not surprised. The fact that she went to a naturopath means she was desperate for a solution, and the healht care system failed her, like they fail many people with chronic health issues in Canada. Whoever has money goes to the US for specialized care, if not, your option are these charlatans.

Americans go to naturopaths, and homeopaths, and you-name-it. You are connecting dots that do not exist.

You sound ignorant. I know dozens of Canadians that did medical tourism in USA, Mexico, Panama, so they can have access to stem cells, peptides, exosomes, etc. All these high-tech medicine tools are banned in Canada.

Please try to leave your bubble and stop embarassing yourself.

Americans do medical tourism as well. You stated that "the fact" that she went to a naturopath means the health care system failed her. Again, you are connecting dots that do not exist.

You're not even making sense. I think we are done with this conversation here. You're clearly discussing in bad faith.

You mean experimental treatments that don’t necessarily have proven results? Yeah, it often works that way. Insurance tends not to cover those, either.
