Association of Naturopathic Physicians (AANP) conference July 11-12, 2017, in Phoenix, AZ. The following is a summary of the WNF presentation that was shared with AANP delegates.  \nHistory of the WNF  \nThe idea of having a world federation to represent the global interests of the naturopathic profession has been tried several times in the past, but has never really gotten off the ground. The idea to form a world federation was discussed at the 2013 International Congress on Naturopathic Medicine (ICNM) conference, was furthered by the efforts of the AANP’s Global Health Network, and was then spearheaded by naturopathic doctors Tabatha Parker and Jon Wardle.  \nDuring the 2014 ICNM conference in Paris, France, 30 naturopaths / naturopathic doctors spanning 20 countries attended meetings where the mission of a world federation was discussed. Atthe closing meeting, it was unanimously agreed to start the World Naturopathic Federation (WNF) . An interim committee, made up of naturopaths / naturopathic doctors from Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, India, New Zealand, Spain, and  \nthe United States, was selected to formally incorporate the WNF and to create an infrastructure for the WNF including bylaws, a logo, and website.  \nIn November of 2014, the WNF was officially incorporated in Canada. The inaugural meeting of the WNF was held in June 2015 in Calgary, Canada, during the CAND’s Health Fusion conference.  \nThe focus of the 1st WNF General Assembly was on brainstorming and determining the priorities of the WNF for the next few years.  \nWNF’s Mission  \nThe mission of the WNF is to:  \n• Support the growth and diversity of the naturopathic profession worldwide  \n• Support the regulation of the naturopathic profession  \n• Promote accreditation and the highest in educational standards for the global naturopathic profession  \n• Encourage and support quality naturopathic research  \n• Establish and maintain a database of naturopathic organizations, regulation, accreditation, conferences, and research activities  \n• Build relationships with world agencies (World Health Organization, United Nations, UNESCO) and national governments  \nDETOX™ FORMULA  \nDetox™ formula assists the body in the elimination of toxic impurities and is a basic health component in any detoxification regimen.  \n Glutathione is considered a master detoxifier with strong antioxidant properties, and directly engages in the neutralization of free radicals.  \n Sodium alginate is a seaweed extract that helps bind and eliminate heavy metals, including lead, mercury and cadmium.  \n N-acetyl cysteine protects against environmental pollutants including carbon monoxide, chloroform, urethanes and certain herbicides.  \nS u p p l e m e n t F a c t s Serving size: 1 capsule  \nServings per container: 90  \n\n| Amount per serving |  | %DV |\n| --- | --- | --- |\n| Vitamin C (Poly C Ascorbate) | 25 mg | 42% |\n| Magnesium (Citrate) | 15 mg | 4% |\n| L-Methionine | 300 mg | * |\n| NAC (N-Acetyl Cysteine) | 100 mg | * |\n| Alpha-Lipoic Acid | 75 mg | * |\n| Inositol Choline | 75 mg | * |\n| Glutathione | 60 mg | * |\n| Sodium Alginate | 60 mg | * |\n| Bentonite Clay | 50 mg | * |\n| Chlorophyllin (98%) | 35 mg | * |\n| Garlic (Allium sativum) bulb (deodorized) | 35 mg | * |\n| Bioflavonoid extract | 35 mg | * |\n\nSelenium (Selenomethionine) 75 mcg *  \nPercent Daily Values are based on a 2,000 calorie diet.  \n* Daily Value not established.  \nOther ingredients: vegetarian capsules  \nTo order, call toll free (877) MTN-PEAK,(877) 686-7325 [Learn more at www.mpn8.com](Learn more at www.mpn8.com)  \n*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
