Just in.
NSP, a Utah MLM company, which to this day publishes on its corporate web servers form letters, written by the MNHLRP's lobbyist Karen Studders, opposing naturopathic doctors registration in Minnesota; whose "Health Freedom" front, the Sunshine Health Freedom Foundation, has been actively involved in the MNHLRP's inflammatory disinformation campaign, issuing so-called "alerts", is being investigated by the Department of Justice and the SEC.
It seems that NSP has not been filing the required company paperwork for the past 3 years.
Filing the paperwork for the the MNHLRP must be a higher priority than taking care of their own accounting.

But who cares? It's only money.
Probably nothing to worry about, as long as you remember to "Be Happy".

Hey McC.,
The committee report only has this to say about diploma mills as far as medicine is concerned:
The Senator LIEBERMAN. A final question—in your testimony I was
interested that you mentioned that several occupations seem to
have more common involvement with diploma mill degrees. Could
you just mention those and tell us whether you have any explanation
as to why you think those occupations tend to use these degrees
more.
Mr. CONTRERAS. Well, the ones that I have seen a lot of, and I
have confirmed this with my colleagues in seven or eight other
States before coming here, are K–12 education; police, corrections,
and other emergency services; professional counselors; public administrators;
administrators of medical facilities; providers of alternative
medicine; mid-managers in business; and persons who work
as expert witnesses, for which that is their main profession.

Where do you obtain evidence for efficacy of homeopathy?
Bones,
You onli beliiive in sciensss.
Here is a better article:

I read a few of the quotes by brooks. I am not sure how his metaphysical musings are supporting evidence for naturopathic efficacy.
bones, you sound like one of the opponents of naturopathic regulation in minnesota who "read a few quotes"
and attacks the bill they never read.
you are not alone, many legislators
don't have time to read either.
you might find it amusing to put down naturopathic doctors, but what you are doing is just a form of mental masturbation.
I think the thrust of this posting is to ask why we Minnesotans are taking advice from a company that is not even following basic business law.
Why are we letting those from out of state decide that we should be fighting amongst ourselves. This is a case of the right gun, but the wrong target. And I am not talking about allopaths in private practice either, but rather big pharma and big insurance who are trying to control too much of the medical field.
Registration, in my mind will allow ND's to be both a bridge to the allopathic world and a shield against it for those who have non-traditional [or traditional, depending on your point of view] training.
Think for moment how nice it would be if you had an ally for yourself and your patients in "the system," if you had someone who has knowledge and sympathy for what you do and who can aid your patients in getting some of their treatments covered by insurance and in getting lab tests, etc. ordered.
Sigh. Can't we all just get along?
Natural medical people need to stick together in a community. Who is with me?
Avencourt.
So you don't see any concerns with Diploma Mills? No room for abuse?
Frankly this concerns me, and was the general thrust of the congressional testimony.
This is not to discount the legitimate distance learning degrees that are out there, but rather just acknowledges that there are abuses and there are unethical and scamming dip. mills out there.
Hypothetically, doesn't it concern you that another company could start selling a degree that you earned?
