Would you trust medical advice from this person?

Would you trust medical advice or medical reporting from “…a licensed acupuncturist, certified clinical nutritionist, and a homeopath,” who, “ …has a Master’s Degree in Traditional Chinese Medicine and a Doctorate in Homeopathic Medicine?” In the case of Huffington Post’s “Wellness” section, you are. As Phil Plait noted yesterday, HuffPo’s Wellness Editor is a nutritionist and homeopath (two words synonymous with quackery).
