The phrases MNHLRP repeats to confuse the public. Please become informed and support SF 1520.

The registration bill opponents' fare is not reasoned arguments, or observations, it is empty words and phrases to alarm the uninformed. The same words repeat again and again to condition a response. When you do become informed, repeating these phrases will not be effective as means to confuse and frighten.
Scope of Practice
The opponents want you to ask: "Why do licensable N.D.s list certain health practices in their scope of practice?".
The scope lists practices one has qualifications to perform.
The naturopathic doctors who graduate from 4 year naturopathic medical schools
have the proper education for the scope they seek.
When you read their scope of practice, take comfort that there are among you
well-trained, gifted individuals who can care for you using all of these practices!
The Special Interest Group behind the Bill, aka the twenty something Naturopathic Doctors
The opponents of the bill like to capitalize on the populist sentiment against special interest groups.
What is special about this interesting group of 26 N.D.s is that they are very open about
who they are, what their educational background is, what they do.
They are not hiding behind anything.
The opposition likes to position themselves as grassroot organization representing public interests. In reality, a small group of zealots has hijacked the MNHLRP agenda. The 'couple hundred naturopaths who went to higher education and
earned abbreviation N.D. after their name' Karen Studders talked about on the radio, are an unknown entity, a group that does not want to be recognized and prefers to hide from public scrutiny. Who knows how many of them are there in reality? 10, 20, 30? There is no documentation available!!
Their lobbyists want to introduce amendments to the registration bill granting them special privileges but refuse to disclose simple facts:
who they are, how many of them there are, what their education and training is, and what
they practice.
Those who misrepresent themselves with bogus titles and fake doctorates from unaccredited correspondence schools are the only ones who will lose from registering naturopathic doctors.
