COANP – The Colorado Association of Naturopathic Physicians Who We Are: COANP is a group of holistic healthcare providers from all over Colorado. This includes naturopathic physicians but also acupuncturists, chiropractors, herbologists, yoga instructors and rehabilitators, and anyone who practices alternative medicine as opposed to satiating patients through drugs, injections, and chemical warfare. What We Do: We primarily congregate in order to share resources and ideas amongst each other and with the public. Holistic healthcare hasn’t yet taken off as the predominant form of medical attendance and until it does, we will be fighting the good fighting. It is important to rally our voices and cry out against chemical intervention and the poisonous, greedy traditional medicine that we experience as the societal norm. Holistic Goal - Ethan AppleseedWhy it Matters: Big pharmaceutical companies want you to stay sick so they can keep making money. SOME traditional doctors will only temporarily fix your problem so they can continue to medicate you and make extra money. In fact, it seems most characters in the traditional medicine game are focused on money instead of on healing. Alternative medicine doesn’t work that way. Naturopathic physicians have to spend a lot of money to outfit their practices with the right tools and ingredients because these things aren’t slung all over America, they are not cheap imports! We work to heal you from the inside out, from the ground up, and not from our greed.
