Study Notes
Evidence-Based Nutrition and Naturopathic Medical Practice
- Contradictory research findings on Vitamin E's effect on cardiovascular disease: initial study showed reduction in cardiac mortality, later research found no effect, and a 2013 meta-analysis proved high doses increased cardiac-related mortalities.
- Pillars of evidence-based nutrition: patient care and respect, uncertainty in research-based evidence, weaknesses in research projects, and the impact of premature data selection on clinical practice.
- Recognition of best evidence in nutrition: for therapeutic interventions, hierarchy includes meta-analysis, randomized prospective studies, and observational studies; for diagnostic interventions, randomized comparisons of standard vs. new diagnostic tools are key.
- Prognostic evidence: prospective observational studies are the gold standard for long-term outcomes, and prospective interventional studies are challenging due to high drop-out rates and cost.
- Unique situation of research in nutrition: prospective randomized interventional studies are challenging due to high drop-out rates and cost, while prospective observational studies tend to have more patients on track and are cost-effective.
- Research evidence is never a replacement for best clinical judgment and should acknowledge patient values, beliefs, and social circumstances.
- The importance of diagnostic skills and clinical experience in evidence-based nutrition.
- The parallel goals of naturopathic medical practice and family medicine, focusing on maintaining general wellbeing.
- Reasons why people seek naturopathic care, including a more holistic approach, identifying root causes, and lack of response to standard medical care.
- Reasons for integrative care between medical doctors and naturopathic doctors, including co-management of care and reducing the need for prescription drugs.
- Best means to support collaboration and integration between naturopathic and medical doctors, including professional referral systems, respect, and trust.
- Ethics and standards of practice for naturopathic medical professionals, including serving the public under a code of ethics and practicing under the guidance of regulatory bodies to avoid harm to patients.
