Editorial PolicyHeartSpring.net works with state licensed naturopathic physicians and certified medical doctors, helping them to publish health articles. Physician articles are referenced with author contact information, including the physician's education, training and accreditation. Articles are chosen according to their educational value, their use of peer reviewed references, and their overall impact on human health. Many of the naturopathic physicians who publish with HeartSpring.net are members of the American Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) Health Editors at HeartSpring.net
How Does Heartspring.net Chose Health Articles for Publication?In addition to vetting the author for licsensed credentials, we also look for articles that are well referenced to peer-reviewed studies. It's easy to make a claims, such as "many studies show..." but it's our job to feature real research, by real scientists, as explained by real doctors. Many of the articles at Heartspring.net provide references and external links to the National Center for Biotechnology Information State Licensing Authorities for Naturopathic PhysiciansLicensing laws for naturopathic doctors are currently present in 14 states, the District of Columbia, and the United States territories of Puerto Rico and the United States Virgin Islands. In these states naturopathic doctors are required to graduate from a four-year, residential naturopathic medical school, passing an extensive postdoctoral board examination (NPLEX) in order to receive a license.
