The facts speak for themselves

There is a lot of misinformation given about the naturopathic physician licensing act HB181. Please read the bill before you belief or make false statements. The Smith decision (a very unusual ruling in Idaho) is specifically protected in HB181 making sure naturopaths who are not getting licensed are still allowed to practice as in the past. The current amendment is a compromise (achieved after intense negotiation) between the two main factions who want licensing as primary health care physicians. A medical doctor can still practice naturopathy as they are licensed already!
