Can you tell me how is a naturopath different to a gp?

World's apart: A GP has been four years to medical school, one year of internship and usually 3-4 years of residency training in scientific and research tested therapy using proven pharmaceuticals. Naturopathy teaches the use of herbal and untested treatments in a manner which they hope will encourage "natural" healing. Who does a naturopath see when sick - they go to their GP of course.

Apples and oranges: One goes thru many years of rigorous, science based training using evidence from thousands of studies to learn the best and current ways to cure disease. The other offers 'natural' cures to the same diseases without scientific evidence to support the rec. often these are based on rumors , anecdote or the fact that a certain plant looks like a human organ so therefore must ' support' that organ
