I'm going to answer the first part of your question and let Dr. Lescheid answer the second part.
On the first part of your question, I'll use an example. We worked with Canada Post in doing a research study in which patients received standard naturopathic care, including all of the things we do, or physiotherapy care, or just the usual sort of care. What we showed in that particular study was that for the postal workers who received naturopathic care, there were savings of more than $1,000 per person in health care costs, and individuals returned to work sooner, were much healthier, and were able to do their work much better. There have been similar studies in the United States.
That's an example of research that actually shows naturopathic care is effective and cost-effective.
