I have reviewed the Health Freedom Law (which I believe CA just passed?) and think it is wonderful. In fact I hope it solves some of the rift I have witnessed in the natural healing community, which IMHO should be looking to work together instead of bickering over who\'s the REAL \"doctor\" here. The biggest reason I like this law is because it opens people\'s mind as to \"valid\" choices for health care and allows them to think creatively about their own health instead of thinking that someone else (the \"doctor\") has all the answers and there are no other options or viewpoints. The practitioners credentials and education must be presented to the patients/public, which allows those folks who insist upon having a \"doctor\" weed out practitioners not up to their education standards, but still allows folks who want to explore many choices and practitioners no matter their formal education. To me this is real \"Health Freedom\".
