I am a naturopath but no longer practicing, I got good results with people, I remember one woman that couldn't get pregnant, so I put her on an all fruit diet to cleans her system, not long after she was pregnant, and her second pregnancy followed with no problems, she was going to a doctor for a number of years trying to get pregnant, so the diet must of worked. And what can be so harmful with an all fruit diet, we are what we eat, our whole body is made up of all that we put into our body, every cell is influenced by it.
Most doctors know only little about nutrition, one doctor that I know told me she only had a one day lecture on nutrition lol.

So much wrong with what you're saying I don't even know where to start. Anecdotal evidence, motivated reasoning, questionable cause (correlation is not causation), poisoning the well (you have no idea what most doctors know - you are not one). And some "new age-y" platitudes.

You say you had "good results"? How do you know, did you keep records and checked statistics? There are thousands upon thousands of quacks all over the world, making a good living from placebo. How can you tell you were not one of them?

Of course some "natural" remedies work, because nature is made of chemicals. Modern medicine is based on the same chemicals, only isolated and in precisely controlled doses, so you don't need to poison yourself with tree bark, to get an effect of an aspirin.

As for all-fruit diet, if you knew anything about nutrition you'd know that there can be plenty wrong with any restrictive diet, especially over prolonged periods of time. It all depends on medical condition of the person, which you're unlikely to be able to assess accurately. And doctors are not nutritionists. Nutritionists are nutritionists.

Oh, well. At least you're retired from qu... naturopathy.
