Staggering news from SC -- THIS from the state that started secession?


It's simply to horrible. Can in be real? via a PN egroup, from one o the most pleasantly radical attendees at PN meetings (like the one held Saturday in Greer):

[South Carolina] in its inimitable way has seen fit to BAN treatment from a Naturopathic Doctor. Little do people realize that Naturopathic Doctors  have  spent just as much time in Medical School as Medical Doctors do. Rather than learning about covering up symptoms with drugs and surgery and about how to help people live with their disease( and invest all the money they'll be making), Naturopathic doctors learn all about diet and health and UNDERLYING CAUSES of "disease" and how to get rid of them using an array of natural modes of medicine so the "disease" goes away and robust health is restored.

I guess when you have a Speaker of the House owning a pharmaceutical company, getting this legislation repealed will be a challenge. But if other states, some of which are destinations for allopathic medicine (conventional medicine) allow Naturopaths, SC should too. In fact SC gets a lower ranking as a good state to relocate to by Joel Skousen in his book, STRATEGIC RELOCATION, due to backwards thinking on issues like this.
Here is a link to the legislation.

Here it is cut and pasted.

..........There may be good news from Georgia soon though. This sent in by one of the state's most tragic victims among our ranks:
