Annoyed with BC Medical Association views on naturopathy

[Veronica01]

So I'm doing research on medical associations for my company and I came accross some information on the British Columbia Medical Association's website basically urging the government to reconsider giving Naturopath's a wider scope of practice citing things like-

-it's a detriment to children when parent's don't give them immunizations based on a naturopath's advice
-cancer patients seeking "unproven" alternative treatment instead of the advice of an oncologist
-it's dangerous to let naturopaths write medical prescriptions

I understand that people want to uphold the integrety of the medical profession, but their concerns are coming from a place of fear, like somehow their job and their accredidations mean nothing just because naturopaths have the opportunity to heal people in "unconventional ways". A LOT of doctors commit malpractice but to assume every naturopath will do more harm than good all the time is more than ludacris. Especially when they are tried and true methods and much less toxic than standard medicine to the body in the first place.

Thanks for the info. We are British Colombians who regularly see naturopaths and not our family doctors.

That's great. There's a homeopath Dr. down the street for me, i went there when i was super ill once, i made myself sick from stress at work! I quit that job. :)

I think people have the right and responsibility to choose their doctors and use common sense on their reccommendations

I have the most amazing naturopath for ten years. Med peeps who diss N.Ds know not what they do. Or they do to draw ones away from natch to medical.

A friend said to me they are anti life....and they appear to be. So I pay no attention. It is what it is.

we sure live in the world of anti-life don't we?? We're trying to "fight" and "kill" everything deemed harmful to us but like the law of attraction it just brings out more negativity and pain to those who live that way.

Yes, I agree with part of this....the people who live this way...in fear...do experience more negativity and pain.....It is sad to see all the war in this world....war on drugs....war on terror.....etc...

but for those of us who chose to view this world as beautiful, and life giving and miraculous, ...we are able to experience heaven on earth!!
Glad to see you are interested in the law of attraction veronica!:)

Yes I've found that everything i've been interested in life has naturally brought me to raw. I learned about the law of attraction and natural healing a while ago and all of it makes sense in the way that life is not complicated and there is more to existance than what you can physically see. :)
