The Health Tip for March 2003 addressed how naturopathic medicine in the province of British Columbia is being threatened by the government’s proposed changes that will limit the scope of practice for Naturopathic Physicians. HANS (Health Action Network Society) has printed a pamphlet that discusses this issue and outlines the effects these changes will have on the future of naturopathic medicine. Over the past two decades, HANS has developed into one of the most important, independent, respected, non-profit health and environmental organizations in Canada. HANS feels that all modalities (drug and non-drug) should work together for the best benefit of the patient.
