MN Statute 147E registers naturopathic doctors effective July 2009 and mandates a work group to recommend measures to ensure MN Statute 146A effectively protects unlicensed healers and, also, to study naturopathic regulation laws in other states. All opinions welcome. In the spirit of the work group, where the unregulated and regulated healers concerns will find an equitable solution, we hope this blog will engender a friendly and meaningful conversation.

Andrew Weil speaks in favor of Naturopathic Medical Licensing

Boyd "The Magnificent" Landry likes to put down Naturopathic Medical Education.
Still, Boyd has a soft spot for the mandibularly hirsute
guru of natural medicine, Dr.Andrew Weil, and likes to quote
Dr. Weil to spiff up his web site
http://naturalhealth.org/agenda/century.html:

"I think there has to be complete rethinking of the nature of medicine, and people's expectations of it. Not simply worrying about who pays for it..."

"You know, of the total number of sick people going to doctors, maybe 20 percent of them have conditions for which conventional allopathic medicine is appropriate. If we restricted that kind of medicine to that percent, we would not be in the kind of economic trouble we're in now. But we're trying to use this for every thing, and it doesn't work for the vast majority of problems."
Dr. Andrew Weil in An Interview on Natural Medicine"

We like Dr. Weil too!
Here is more from the Master:

I think it is horrible that people like Karen Studders and Jerri Johnson are spreading lies and rumors. They are fear mongers.

And let's not even mention Boyd Landry, and man who has said in meetings that whoever pays him more will get his services. He has no loyalty and no class.

Let's also look at the people who "accredit" the correspondence schools. It is shameful.

The worst part is that they are scaring honest hard working natural healers.

Bill HF1724 and SF 1520 say nothing about restricting practice. In fact they specifically say that anyone practicing under 146A will still be covered. The rest of those bills simply say that if someone went to medical school for nauropathy then they get recognized.

What is wrong with that?
