Texas Health Freedoms at Stake, more information

[Guest guest]

Please take 2 minutes to help with this. If this bill is passed you

would be severely limited to only seeing registered dieticians and

certified clinical nutritionists for your nutritional purposes and

supplement recommendations for compensation. Many people such as

homeopaths, naturopaths, herbalists, etc would NOT be able to provide

any advice for compensation and sell remedies any more if these bills

are passed - thank you very much. Criminal penalties at the rate of

1,000 per day are included.

Please call ASAP (512-463-0112)-

 

Look on the capitol texas website for your local senate reps. We

have been advised to FAX all of our objections to each Senator.

Peter M. McCarthy, N.D of the Texas Complimentary and Alternative

Medical association is working on blocking passage of these bills. We

need all the help we can get.

 

Colleagues and Friends,

The two Senate Bills, 989 and 1209, are currently

before the Senate Health and Human Services Committee. They both

seek to mandate licensure of nutritional counseling in the state of

Texas and outlaw any naturopath, homeopath or unlicensed nutritional

counselor from offering advice to any citizen for compensation. They

are supported by powerful special interests.

At the advice of a leading national health

freedom advocate, we are attempting to convince the Chairman of the

Senate Health and Human Services Committee, Sen. Jane Nelson, to not

bring these bills to a hearing. The best way to do that is to call

her number (512-463-0112) and express your and your family's

opposition to these deeply flawed bills. This tactic apparently

worked when we used it with the House Public Health Committee Chair,

it can work again. When you contact her office, ask for the staffer

who handles health issues. Suggested wording is as follows:

" Hello, my name is ________ . I am calling to

express my and my

family's oppositon to Senate Bills 989 and 1209. I

believe they are bad

deal for health freedom for all Texans. Please ask

Senator Nelson to

NOT allow these bills to be heard before the

committee, and to ask her

fellow committee members to not support either bill. "

Expect to be

asked for your contact information (i.e., address or

phone number).

PLEASE help us defeat these bills! Nothing less

than our

collective right to choose who we see for health

advice is at stake. Thanks

for your support.

 

Peter M. McCarthy, N.D.
