Guest guest Posted May 22, 2001 Report Share Posted May 22, 2001 CALIFORNIA HEALTH FREEDOM COALITION " Working to protect freedom of access to alternative health care in California' Meet with us at: Bodywork Central 5519 College Ave Oakland, CA Tuesday evening May 22, 2001, from 7-9PM to learn about this exciting new movement. Guest Speakers will include Atty. Diane Miller, author of the landmark Freedom of Access Healthcare Act signed into law in Minnesota in May of 2000. Millions of California citizens visit alternative health care providers each year. However, few know that their freedom to access these services is under potential threat. According to California's Medical Practices Act, anyone who " diagnoses " or " treats " any " ailment, blemish, deformity, disease, disfigurement, disorder, injury, or other physical or mental condition of any person " without the benefit of state licensure may, at least technically, be practicing medicine without a license. As a result, most practitioners of massage, naturopathy, homeopathy, Chinese and other forms of herbalism, ayurveda, reiki, and dozens of other beneficial healing modalities face the potential threat of prosecution, even if they cause no one harm. The goal of the California Health Freedom Coalition is to protect each person's freedom to access the health care provider of their choice, by changing Califomia's laws to allow alternative health care practitioners to practice legally. Join our cause and safeguard your freedom to utilize whatever form of health care you choose! SUPPORT OUR BILL - SB577!
