Advice Requested: practicing nutrition in th...

[Guest guest]

Do you have any choice as to which state you will be moving back to? In my sta

te, Colorado, we have nutritionists, holistic health counselors, here.

 

It is true though, that one has to be careful how one says things. It is

okay to say, " It is my experience that such and such did such and such for me,

or, other people have had this experience with this substance " . One cannot say,

" this will cure cancer. " The Big 3 (Big Pharma, FDA and AMA) don't want

anything to decrease their profits, so we keep what we know " underground " for

the

time being.

Dear Friends,

 

I have an issue I would like some constructive advice on if you are

able to give it.

 

We have recently been discussing about whether to move back to the

United States (for various personal reasons). My concern is this:

I've been reading a lot about the FDA clamping down on people

prescribing and selling nutritional supplements; some such

practitioners also being charged with " unlawful practice of

medicine " ; and that, in many states, I would not be able to use the

title 'nutritionist' legally.

 

I am terrified that I will not be able to practice as an alternative

nutritional therapist in the US - can any of you help me allay these

fears or should I just never move back to my home country?

 

Many thanks,

B.
