A monopolistic Naturopathic Doctor

Licensing Bill That

Negatively Impacts all of Natural Health

The Honorable Representative

Dear Representative ________________________________:

I respectfully urge you to oppose and DO NOT Co-Sponsor HB-08 1064, a dangerously restrictive Naturopathic Doctor Licensing bill with broad implications for consumer choice.

HB1064 endangers consumer choices and health freedoms and endangers natural health care practitioner’s right to practice their trades by creating an exclusive monopoly on who provides natural, complementary, and alternative therapies, information, and services.

HB1064 makes it a crime for thousands of unlicensed persons to practice their trades unless they are licensed or regulated by the state and mandated to graduate from a particular group of schools.

I as a health freedom advocate do not support mandates that require all people to obtain permission from the state to do a healing act

I as a health freedom advocate do not support unnecessary licensure or other type of registration for unlicensed natural health practitioners or complementary and alternative health care practitioners that are not doing high risk practices or posing an imminent risk of harm to the public.

Minnesota, California, Rhode Island, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Idaho all have health freedom laws that exempt unlicensed practitioners from criminal statutes as long as they avoid specific prohibited conduct and give out proper disclosures.

ALL OF THESE 6 STATES HAVE HEALTH FREEDOM SAFE HARBOR EXEMPTION LAWS!!!!

HB1064 would destroy THOUSANDS of Colorado entrepreneurial natural health based businesses, taking away thousands more people’s informed access to, in many cases, their only readily available source of local complementary and alternative health care information.

COLORADO HEALTH SEEKERS DESERVE TO HAVE THEIR OPTIONS PROTECTED!
