Guest guest Posted July 2, 2008 Report Share Posted July 2, 2008 Moderator's Note: It might be worth confirming that not recognized means illegal.. When I was checking into it in my state, not recognized meant neither regulated nor un-regulated. Anyone could put up a shingle and start promoting themselves- which of course has it's own pro's and con's. ----------- It's good that you check about the legalities of practicing as a naturopath. While it's legal in some of the United States, here in Texas, it is not recognized & therefore, illegal. There's a naturopath practicing here, but as a nutritionist. How long does it take to become one? Anyone out there know if there are courses on the internet or by mail? \ -richard, l.m.t.- --- On Tue, 7/1/08, born_of_beltane <mysteriousdarkness wrote: i was wondering if anyone had any information on the legalities regarding practising naturopathy in victoria. i don't want to get sued by anyone in this bizarre age where teachers get sued cos their students are wasting too much time being stupid and therefore don't learn anything....

Guest guest Posted July 5, 2008 Report Share Posted July 5, 2008 I don't think it can be 'illegal' here, since there are heaps of practising naturopaths and chinese medicine practitioners reachable simply by looking in the phone book... and when you mention to a GP that you're seeing one, they just say 'thats good, some of those natural remedies are brilliant'... and naturopathy is available under some private healthcare funds so people get rebates and whatnot. i know that here in australia it takes 4 years to become a naturopath... it think it CAN take 3, but the qualiufication you get is a level lower than the uni's that offer 4 year courses (obviously), and i'm not sure if you can practise with that qualification, or if you have to transfer to a uni that offers the full 4 years.... , Richard Silva <silvaworks wrote: > > Moderator's Note: It might be worth confirming that not recognized means illegal..
