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.

Is nothing sacred? From Health Freedom to Hate Freedom

It has been an extremely windy day in the Twin Cities.
But no force of nature will compare with MNHLRP's own windbag lobbyist, Karen Studders, J.D..
The information below was made public by Representative Cy Thao during today's committee hearing regarding HF 1724.
To put pressure on Cy Thao, a member of the House who has been working with all
sides on the House File 1724, Karen Studders phoned Hmong Talk Radio last night, April 14.
She made an egregious claim that if Naturopathic Registration Bill passes, Hmong community
members will not be able to perform their religious rituals and gave listeners Cy Thao's
cell phone number to call and protest.
And they did, in great numbers. The phone calls kept coming overnight, till 3P.M. this afternoon, and Mr. Thao had to explain the reality of the situation to many Hmong who came today in person to the Minnesota House to protest what they saw as an encroachment on their religious freedom.

There is not a grain of truth in Karen Studders' accusations. None.
As a registered lobbyist, she must have read the bill and know that.

It is a record low for the Health Freedom movement.
If you are one of its members, go look in the mirror and say 'Shame on you!".
Hard to believe that someone is getting away spreading such malicious lies.

OMG.

Bar association been called, I assume?
