Naturopathic advocacy success in Illinois

[Guest guest]

Most traditional naturopaths do not consider something like this a victory.

There is a lot at work behind the scenes that most have no idea about.

Licensing naturopaths will not protect but allow the government to regulate.

Be aware that things are not always as they " seem. " Does licensing make

good doctors or protect people? Hardly. Just another way to take away

health freedom.

 

Be Well

Success!!

 

House Resolution 416 passed!! On Friday, Nov. 2nd, the Illinois House

of Representatives unanimously passed House Resolution 416 establishing

a Task Force to study licensure of naturopathic physicians.  This

resolution is a big step towards licensure in that it commits the

legislature to studying the case for licensure in IL, will acquaint them

with our educational institutions, and keeps us on the agenda during a

huge election year.  The resolution calls for the Task Force to (1)

evaluate whether the standards of naturopathic medical education and

training are adequate to protect the public and (2) makes

recommendations as to the extent to which regulation of naturopathic

physicians will benefit the health of the citizens of Illinois.  HR

416 calls for the Task Force to provide a written report of its findings

next year.

Yes, I was wodering about that myself as I read it. It certainly could

be a two-edged sword. But what alternatives might be

considered/advocated?

Yours and the moderator's cxomments are somewhat typical of the reaction

this post has gotten at various groups. (And I wondered about it when I

first read the release.) Perhaps we should ask the naturopathic

organization why they consider it a success.

I think they do that because they know most people are in a daze and

just read the headlines. First they regulate it, then they ban it or

make it so the small guy cant survive.

medicine from being one of the top killers of the American people? Or

does it just allow for the structure of power so they can get away

with it?? Sad, sad, sad...

Who is going to do the study? Allopathic providers

don't seem to know very much about Naturopathy. Also,

Big Pharma doesn't want this because they can't make

any money from it.

 

Bet it turns into the " fox watching the chicken

house " .

 

New Mexico does have licensing of Naturopathic type

providers. There are very few licensed providers in

this state. The ones I have found are not licensed

and usually working in certain health related areas.

Unless you get to know them and ask they will not tell

you including the Doctors of Oriental Medicine.
