Guest guest Posted July 12, 2004 Report Share Posted July 12, 2004 I just conferred with a lawyer involved in health freedom issues and he believes that the health freedom act also allows the practice of chiropractic as long as one does not use controlled terms like chiropractic or spinal manipulation. For example, traditional bonesetting is probably legal without a license. Chinese herbology is absolutely legal to practice without a license as the law specifically makes the point of saying it is not meant to exclude anyone else who may be legally prescribing supplements. This position was reiterated in the writing of the new naturopathic law which very explicitly protects the rights of unlicensed naturopaths to precribe herbs, etc. as long as one does not use controlled terms like naturopathic physician. But the natyuropathic law pretty much allows anyone to call themselves a naturopath or traditional naturopath. I actually have more education in naturopathy than most traditional naturopaths (but no license to practice naturopathic medicine). Since I make use of these methods in my practice, I guess that makes me a naturopath under california law. Chinese Herbs FAX: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
