botsikos i correspondent caveat emptor let the buyer beware as more people are turning from traditonal medi cine towards alternative thera- piess consumers are cautioned both by the ontario ministry of health and accredited naturopaths that many practi tioners of alternative medicine do not necessarily have the expertise to diagnose or treat patients dr gary hardy of the markham homeopathy centre said even some traditional doctors can fail the patient but he agreed that at least patients have recourse as doctors are regulated elliot gold spokesperson for the ontario ministry of health explained that prior to december 1993 most alterna tive medicine groups fell under some kind of legislation but after that date the new govern ment in office decided to stan dardize alternative health groups under the new regulations health professions act this new act made all the prior legislations null and void gcid pointed out that from the- 75 alternative health groups that applied for consideration only 23 were accepted natureopaths who are selfreg ulated by the board of directors for drugless therapy were also not accepted however for the past eight years the health professions regulations advisory council has been defining the scope of practice for naturopaths that job is almost finished and there is a separate act being written into the rhpa that will cover naturopaths we expect this piece of legisla tion to pass in parliament very soon said gold naturopathic doctors must complete four years of training at one of the four recognized col leges in north america which have a preadmission require ment of three years of pre-med- ical studies at a university upon graduating students receive the title nd doctor of naturopathy naturopathy is a system of nonintrusive health care that uses natural methods such as herbs nutrition and lifestyle counselling manipulation and i homeopathy to support and stimulate- the bodys inherent selfhealing process homeopathy is a 180 year old system of medicine that is based i on the belief that a substance can cure the same problems it can cause by administering a diluted dose of that substance hardy stressed that a good i homeopath will deliver only one medication for the totality of symptoms if your homeopath is giving you complex series of medications you should start being suspicious at present the canadian academy of homeopathy offers a postdiploma program howev er there is nothing at an under graduate level if consumers have complaints with their naturopath there is a com plaints mechanism with the board of directors for drugless therapynaturopathy and if they are still unsatisfied they can appeal with the health porfessions board gold stated that this is the one major dis tinction between the two groups v homeopaths as well as acupuncturists herbalists shiatsu massage therapists and practitioners of traditional chinese medicine were among the health professions that were also not connsidered for regula tion under the rhpa part of the criteria for regulation is that an educational process be set up with a recognized stan dard body of knowledge other professions such as aromather- pists and reflexologists do not have the power to diagnose or administer medication hardy commented that there are peo ple out there who have little or no training or who perhaps took their training through a corre- spondenc course it is important for the consumer to check where their doctor has trained how long and his or her background jramrmrs ej d yttepzz l j gues yf erjoy an early f 830
