IL ephedra ban

[Guest guest]

Unfortunately, Illinois acupuncturists are specifically prohibited

from practicing herbal medicine, so no practitioner exemption from

the ban is forthcoming. The acupuncture licensure bill itself was

very clearly going to be killed if the profession pushed for

inclusion of herbal medicine into the scope of practice. As it is

the bigger issue in Illinois is independent practice, as IL requires

physician referral for treatment with acupx.

 

The kicker is Blagojevich was the democratic party candidate, so

probably most of the acupuncturists in IL voted for him...

Robert:

 

But did the Acupuncture Association of Illinois donate money to his

campaign?

I don't know, actually, I've been in Florida since before the

election. I'm going to Chicago at the end of the week, so I'll ask.

Certainly would've been a good idea, since it was pretty apparent

that he was going to win. BTW, George Ryan, the former gov, was very

supportive of the ISAA. Too bad he had that corruption thing that

plagued his term in office...
