TCM - Legislation to restrict giving nutritional recommendations-WI

[Guest guest]

In Pennsylvania, we inserted it into our scope of practice years ago by

saying that we wanted it there because anyone can do it (health food stores and

etc) but that we wanted our people to be responsible for it if they did it, so

we

needed it in the scope as a " supplementary technique " to be regulated by the

board.

" If in a competitive society you are sincere and honest, in some

circumstances people may take advantage of you. If you let someone do so, he or

she will

be engaging in an unsuitable action and accumulating bad karma that will harm

the person in the future. Thus it is permissable, with an altruistic

motivation, to take counteraction in order to prevent the other person from

having to

undergo the effects of this wrong action. "

" Liberals claim to want to give hearing to other views, but then are shocked

and offended to learn that there are other views. "
