Alternative medicine doctors who use treatments such as acupuncture and herbal supplements are making a controversial bid to expand their turf in Illinois.

A bill pending in the Legislature would make Illinois the 15th state to license naturopathic doctors, or N.D.s, who favor natural treatments and shun most synthetic drugs.

And for the first time in 54 years, a Chicago area school is offering a graduate program in naturopathic medicine. National University of Health Sciences in Lombard will start the four-year N.D. program in September.
