Naturopaths actually treat illness not mask symptoms with man-made pharmaceuticals.

I woulld be extremely pleased if my naturopath was able to do way more testing. She is far more interested in my health than my GP . She was able to determine that my husband was gluten sensitive and his life has changed forever for the better. He went to specialists over the last 25 years who were unable to find the cause of his severe headaches. Our naturopath is about to do some extensive testing on me for a number of problems I have had for years. My doctor doesn't seem to care at all anymore but the naturopath does. Please assist them in being able to help people who have problems that are somewhat unusual and just keep on going unti; one gets answers and more importantly, relief

Are you kidding me? How is denying or limiting access to tests going to improve the health of the population?

There really should be, but there is no free choice in health care in Ontario. Big Allo and Pharma restrict access to natural and common-sense approaches for financial gain. Keeping the sickness level up increases fear and control over the sheeple...

This appears to be part of a new and aggressive assault against the natural health industry in Ontario. It would appear the government of Kathleen Wynne is responding to pressure from Big Pharma ina similar fashion to the pending psychotherapy takeover. It is time for the people of Ontario to be made aware of how their freedom to make their own health care choices is being taken away.

Based on most of conventional medicine practitioners (funded by Big Pharma) inability (refusal?) to view integrating holistic methodologies as the best choice for most patients, it is imperative that Naturopathic Doctors be allowed to continue within their current scope of practice. Conventional medicaid has not yet caught up to the benefits of the practices which this bill will erase. It is in everyone's best interest to not limit the Naturopathic Doctors scope.

My naturopath has helped me with noninvasive treatment when my family doctor gave up. We work together to prevent illness, thus will save our healthcare system money and resources in the future. Stay well, prevention is the best medicine.

All Canadians have a right to choice! After numerous testing with no answers it was a Naturopathic doctor that place me onto the road of recovery and to good health!

ND's should be recognized at medical professionals. People should be able to choose.

my naturalpath has helped me become healthier through his services. His treatments are more preventative than reactive. I would be sorry to see that my visits to him could be hampered due to his inability to access lab work. I believe my paying for his services saves the government money. Regulate Naturalpaths to ensure that they are qualified, but don't hamper their efforts by not giving them access to laboratory support.

I sincerely value what my naturopath has done for me, and how he has helped impact my health and everyday wellbeing. Getting coverage for this very important practice is fair and reasonable.
