Thank you to those who showed up to the Capitol today.
Unfortunately, they ran out of time and didn't get to hear HB1111 and it was laid over until tomorrow.
Of course, there are no guarantees they won't run out of time again tomorrow either.
We spoke with legislators, distributed fact sheets, asking them to Vote No on HB1111.
While
speaking with legislators today, it was brought to our attention that
alot of legislators will ignore the mass emails they are receiving - and
it was suggested that we make each email personal. So, if possible,
when you receive a sample fact sheet to send to legislators, start with a
personal introduction and try to make it more personal. You can still
include the points from the fact sheets, but it is helpful to make them
look "different" than all of the others.
We will be sending out another email with more information and our next plan of action.
P.S. - As a side note - Vitamin Cottage/Natural Grocers lobbyist was lobbying today IN FAVOR of HB1111.

Supporters of HB 1111 WANT You in Prison! - Link to Audio of House Appropriation Hearing
This is very important information. PLEASE contact all of the House Floor Reps this weekend and let them know that tens of thousands of Colorado natural health practitioners will be not only put out of business, but will be put in JAIL!

(You're able to click the bill number to hear discussion on that specific one. HB 1111 starts around 18:30, Gerou comments begin at 19:11 go through 20:11, reiterated during her actual vote, 26:00-26:04)
MARCH 16, 2013
For those who have not been able to listen, or can't
I did my best to type up what they said and I will include it below.
I am disgusted to hear this - along with the laughing and clapping about putting naturopaths in jail.
Please
note she did not say naturopathic doctors - she said naturopaths - that
pretty much includes all of the over 10,000 natural practitioners in
Colorado!

HB 1111 COMMITTEE HEARING
REP. GEROU
at 19:10 -
Thank you Madam Chair. Rep. Ginal, this is a bill .........it is one that keeps coming back and back and back, and I'll let you know that I voted for this 5 years ago and the reason I voted for it 5 years ago, is that I want to see alot of these naturopaths put in prison. I will be voting yes, but my vote yes is to put alot of these guys in prison, because I think they are doing a disservice to a lot of the people in the state, and the only we are truly going to be able to control these people is if we regulate them . This is a life safety issue. These people, some of them, not all of them, you've got some very, very bad actors in your group. I'd like to see the bill just happen go away and leave us alone and I hope those guys have a great time serving.
at 20:40
REP. HAMNER
Thank you Madam Chair. I just need to make a comment that my experience with the Naturopathic Profession has been different than what was previously described and I do see this bill as an opportunity to recognize the profession. Thank You.
at 20:58
REP. GINAL/LEVY?
I think this will help us distinguish between those who are competent and know what they are doing and those who have the potential to do great harm.
at 21:24
REP. GARDNER
Thank you Madam Chair........Frankly, for me, this bill has
always brought .... concerning licensing and regulation in particular
professions, and when it has died in the past it has died because other
practitioners object to the encroachment and so forth, and by the same token,
those who don't have the credentials object to it as well. I have often said to
the other practitioners that it brings in to question, in my mind, our entire
licensing scheme and structure..but we are way past that, but I am not going to
extend more licensing for one more thing that's going to put a bunch of other
people out of business. I don't think we are anticipating putting anyone in
jail Rep. Gerou, I appreciate what you say, but i don't see a corrections.....
is there one?
at 22:49
REP. GEROU/LEVY?
Yep, we can put them in jail. (laughter and clapping)
at 22:52
REP. GARDNER
.....County Jail - that's just going to be an unfunded mandate from my county...in any case, I think it brings in to ... argument against licensing and I'm not a fan of it and so I'll be a no....One more time.
ROLL CALL

MARCH 12, 2013
HB13-1111 will be heard on the House floor
next week. It is imperative that we reach all of the House
Representatives immediately and ask them to OPPOSE HB13-1111. We do not
know what amendments will remain in this bill, whether or not the
language does legally given all natural health practitioners a right
to practice, whether or not it protects NHP's from Title 12 of the MPA
and we have no guarantee that protective amendments will remain in the
bill throughout the legislative process.
Please fax, email
and/or phone the House Representatives as soon as possible asking them
to vote NO on HB13-1111. You can use the attached opposition letter or
write one of your own. If this bill passes the House floor, it will move
on to the Senate. At that time, it will be vitally important to have
everyone come to the Capitol to voice your opposition to this bill. Stay
tuned as this can all happen quickly.
Please consider donating
to CCNH so we can retain our lobbyist. There is much work to be done.
CCNH's right to practice bill is on the desk ready to be assigned a bill
number. As soon as I get the bill, I will forward it on to you. We have
been in negotiations with key players trying to make the necessary
changes to our bill to avoid opposition. Donnah has been working very
hard on our behalf, but we are far behind in paying her for her efforts.
Thanks to RANDY WING, JEFFREY PHILLIPS, REED & JEAN BRICKELL, DAN
ZWOLINSKI, WILLIAM ALEXANDER, SUZANNE WEBER, PRISCILLA JOHNSON AND JANET
DIEDERICHS for your donations! We appreciate the help. Thank you, thank
you.

Sample letter:
OPPOSE HB13-1111
HB13-1111 could put tens of thousands of Natural Health Practitioners
out of business, unless language is included to give all Natural Health
Practitioners a legal right to practice, without being in violation of
this bill or the Medical Practice Act. We do not have any written
guarantee that any protective language will not be dropped from the bill
as it moves through the legislative process. This bill is exclusionary
and monopolistic seeking to register a small, select group of
Naturopathic Doctors and severely limit the naturopathic profession.
It is estimated that more than one million five hundred thousand
Coloradans currently receive a substantial volume of health care
services from complementary and alternative health care practitioners,
according to a July 2009 report from the National Institute of Health’s
National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine.
•
This bill would make it illegal for tens of thousands of natural health
practitioners in Colorado to continue offering naturopathic services,
because the scope of practice in this bill overlaps with the modalities
offered by all natural health practitioners.
• Naturopathy would
become exclusionary allowing only a handful of ND’s to become registered
and offer services to over 1,500,000 Colorado consumers, because the
ND’s who practice traditional naturopathy could not qualify to be
registered.
• The title of ND/Naturopathic Doctor/Doctor of
Naturopathy would be taken away from hundreds of practitioners who
rightfully earned the title.
• This bill would weaken Colorado’s tax base by putting tens of thousands of natural health practitioners out of work.
• If naturopathy is practiced as traditionally intended (using ONLY
non-invasive natural healing modalities), state regulation would not be
necessary because these services cause no eminent risk of harm to the
public.
We received the following email that CoAND is spreading
around. I have written a rebuttal that I will be sending to the
legislators. Feel free to insert your own thoughts and send it off as
well.
PROPAGANDA DISTRIBUTED BY CoAND and REBUTTAL by CCNH
REGULATION OF NATUROPATHIC DOCTORS IN COLORADO!
Will you stand by and allow Colorado to continue to be a mecca for non-licensed, uneducated practitioners who call themselves Naturopathic Doctors? I can assure you that as a Naturopathic Doctor, I am very well educated and capable of performing the modalities of a “true” Naturopathic Doctor. My ND curriculum included Nutrition, Natural Health, Naturopathy, Biology, Anatomy, Physiology, Herbology, Iridology, Homeopathy, Reflexology, Acupressure, Mind/Body Medicine, Disease Prevention, Massage, Chemistry, Genetics, Biological Psychology, etc. A Bachelor of Science and Masters degrees were required for the ND program. I am a certified Traditional Naturopath by the ANCB, Board certified Naturopath by the ANMA, Board certified in Integrative Medicine by the AAIM, a registered Naturopath by the Council on Naturopathic Registration and Accreditation, and a Doctor of Clinical Therapy (P) by the PMA. (The definition of a “Naturopathic Doctor” is: A practitioner who espouses and practices naturopathy – a non-invasive system of health practice that employs no surgery or synthetic drugs, but instead, uses natural health modalities, substances, and education to promote health.)
Will you watch from afar as Colorado Naturopathic Doctors lose their 8th attempt in 20 years to be recognized as legitimate medical providers? Naturopathic Doctors DO NOT practice medicine, are NOT primary care physicians, do NOT prescribe pharmaceuticals and do NOT perform surgery. Instead, they use only natural modalities (special diets, herbs, vitamins, food, air, water, exercise, education, etc.). The reason why CoAND has lost all of their legislative battles is because their prior bills have been exclusionary and monopolistic which would have EXCLUDED tens of thousands of natural health practitioners and put them out of business. The CoAND practitioners are medically oriented and in prior years have graduated with the title of Naturopathic Physician or Doctor of Naturopathic Medicine – NOT NATUROPATHIC DOCTOR!! They are not allowed to use their “physician” title in Colorado, so they decided to take the title of Naturopathic Doctor – which they are not entitled to.
Will you witness five million Coloradans be denied the right and opportunity to choose and to have access to affordable high quality alternative health care as rightfully provided by 4-year post graduate doctoral educated Naturopathic Doctors? 100 “Naturopathic Doctors” can’t possibly take care of the needs of five million Coloradans. Instead, we must protect the consumers’ right to choose their natural health practitioner by giving all qualified practitioners a right to practice their professions and offer affordable alternative health care.
IF YOU ANSWERED NO TO ANY OF THE ABOVE QUESTIONS, YOU MUST SEND YOUR E-MAIL TODAY TO ALL OF THE COLORADO LAWMAKERS LISTED BELOW (even if you live outside of Colorado). THIS MAY BE YOUR CHANCE TO CHANGE THE COURSE OF HISTORY IN COLORADO AND THE NATION...
SUGGESTED MESSAGE:
Please support OPPOSE Colorado House Bill 13-1111
concerning "Regulation of Naturopathic Doctors." This legislation
will protect the health and well being of Coloradans to conveniently and
easily:
· Determine who is qualified to be called a Naturopathic Doctor and who has completed a four-year post-graduate clinical doctorate degree from an accredited naturopathic medical program, has passed a national exam, and has met other qualifications for regulation; Naturopathic Doctors do NOT practice medicine or graduate from a medical program. DORA has previously established that the Naturopathic Doctors who practice traditional naturopathy do not pose an eminent or discernible risk of significant harm to the public’s health and safety, since they DO NOT PRACTICE MEDICINE.
· Check credentials and backgrounds of those who are Registered as Naturopathic Doctors; This can be done for all natural health practitioners.
· Lodge complaints against a Naturopathic Doctor should harm or wrongdoing be suspected; This can be done for all natural health practitioners.
· Be confident that when someone is called a "doctor," that he or she has the training to provide the safe and effective care inherent in the title; The definition of “doctor” is: A person who has been awarded a higher academic degree in any field of knowledge. There are many kinds of “doctors” and many people who have been awarded the title. The consumer is only confused when a person uses the title “physician” or “medical doctor” as those terms denote the practice of medicine.
· Be assured that their Naturopathic Doctor will communicate and collaborate fully with other health care providers as a member of the health care continuum; and Natural health practitioners communicate and collaborate with other health care providers.
· Be assured that the Naturopathic Doctor they choose has completed annual mandatory continued competency and carries adequate malpractice insurance. Natural health practitioners complete continued education requirements.
As claimed by inflammatory and FALSE information circulating the halls of the Colorado statehouse,
HB 13-1111 does not put anyone out of work:
· The titles of "Naturopath" and "Traditional Naturopath" as well as many other titles such as Natural Health Care Provider are available to practitioners whose training does not meet the requirement of the title "Doctor." We have no guarantee that these amendments will be kept in the bill and whether or not the tens of thousands of natural health practitioners will be granted a right to practice. There are at least 2,000 Naturopathic Doctors in Colorado who would lose their deserved title and close their practices.
· There are exemptions in the bill for a wide range of national health care occupations including herbalists, homeopaths, energy workers, those who sell natural health care products, and those who give advice and guidance on diet and wellness. We have no guarantee that these amendments will be kept in the bill and whether or not these occupations will have a right to practice or will still be illegal according to the Medical Practice Act, Title 12.
· There is even a provision to allow those who have been using the title Naturopathic Doctor of ND for a significant period of time to be regulated under this bill if they meet certain equivalency requirements. The requirements are too strict so that very few “true” Naturopathic Doctors will qualify since true naturopathy does not involve the practice of medicine. The Director decides who satisfies the requirements for registration and the rules can change at any time.

Thank you to ANCB for supporting CCNH - Please read their letter below or see the attachment:
This is their letter to the House of Representatives.....
March 12, 2013
RE: Opposition to HB 13-1111
To the Members of the Colorado House,
As Director of the nation’s oldest and largest Certification Board for Naturopathy, I am writing to express our opposition to HB 13-1111, the Naturopathic Doctor Act.
The American Naturopathic Certification Board (ANCB) is a national organization that was formed in 2003 and has approximately 1,000 members, including nearly 50 members in Colorado. As a non-profit 501(c)(6) organization, ANCB offers professional certification in Traditional Naturopathy, and issues the title of “CTN,” or “Certified Traditional Naturopath.” To qualify for certification, individuals must first obtain a doctoral level degree in Naturopathy from an approved program of study, and then pass our national certification examination, which, incidentally, has been compared to the NPLEX exam.
While it is unclear if individuals certified by ANCB would be allowed to use their title of “CTN” or “Certified Traditional Naturopath” under this act, we find the proposed legislation to be unnecessary, exclusionary, fiscally unwise, and poor public health policy.
First, we question the need for this legislation. Traditional Naturopathy is practiced using only non-invasive methods that present no risk to the public. Traditional Naturopaths are educators who encourage their clients to take responsibility for maintaining their own wellness, and give them tools to do so. Where is the evidence that natural healing methods present such a risk to public health that they need to be highly regulated, as this bill proposes?
Second, this bill would establish a small monopoly of state-recognized practitioners at the expense of thousands of natural healers, with negative impacts to both providers and consumers of natural health services alike. Only a select few would be allowed to practice Naturopathy, increasing unemployment and decreasing tax revenues for the state, while creating a costly state bureaucracy to administer the licensing program. Meanwhile, the approximately 1.5 million Coloradans who rely on natural health services will have reduced access to these preventive services, driving up health care costs for all.
Finally, by defining Naturopathic Medicine as a “system of ... primary health care practices for the ... diagnosis
... and treatment of ... diseases” this bill extends the reach of so-called “natural health” firmly into the terrain of allopathic physicians. This definition is utterly inconsistent with the history, theory, and principles of Naturopathy, and creates a new hybrid form of medicine that is both unwarranted and unwise.
In closing, we urge you to reject this measure and look at alternatives to it. At a minimum, the rights of unlicensed natural healers to offer their services must be protected. I thank you for your consideration of these comments.
Sincerely,
Dan Funsch Director, ANCB
DECEMBER 2012
We,
the Colorado Coalition for Natural Health board members, have urgent
news to report. Every year for 20 years now, the CCNH board members have
fought against, and beaten, the monopolistic bills put forth by the
Naturopathic Physicians (and recently the Dietitians too) so that all of
us can stay in business and so that the consumers have a
right to choose the practitioner of their choice. This year is
different--CCHN is taking a new, proactive approach, and I would like to
share news of our UNPRECEDENTED LEGISLATIVE PROGRESS and to ask for YOUR FINANCIAL SUPPORT in this huge step toward passing our own bill that will give us all a legal right to practice, without government regulation.
We have secured a sponsor for our Natural Health Consumer Protection Bill that simply requires full disclosure of any unlicensed practitioner's services, education, and experience. We will send a copy of the draft legislation as soon as the sponsor authorizes its release.
Next...here's why your donations are needed more now than ever before. Our Senate sponsor is an influential senator who is in the Democratic majority. She believes we can make a credible and possibly successful effort to pass legislation this year, but only if we have the help of a well-respected lobbyist who can work with both political parties in both chambers. We have found that person, recommended by our Senate sponsor, and we need to raise $10,000 to pay her to work on our behalf in favor of the bill. We have about 8% of that amount thanks to the generous donations that some of you have already made, but that will not secure our lobbyist, and all our progress may be lost if we don't raise enough. Here is a list of some of the work our lobbyist will be doing for us:
· Secure House sponsor
· Secure co-sponsors on the bill in each chamber
· Draft language and resist amendments
· Work with stakeholders to the extent we can to garner support and/or eliminate or neutralize opposition
· Develop fact sheets
· Work with leadership to achieve a favorable committee assignment
· Work to draft and coordinate testimony in Committee
· Lobby first committee in first chamber, then the remaining Senators (35) for 2nd and 3rd reading votes
· Work to resist amendments and fiscal notes
· Work on same process with house sponsor through committee and second and third readings (committee of reference then all 65 House members)
· Work with the Governor’s office to ensure they will not veto the bill if it gets to his desk
If this legislation does pass, we can all practice without the threat of the Naturopathic Physicians or the Dietitians passing legislation that would criminalize us, and we won't have to keep crossing our fingers that the Colorado Medical Society will continue to look the other way. Remember, any unlicensed natural health practitioner is technically in violation of the Colorado Medical Practice Act and can be prosecuted. The timing may be right for this legislation because of recent news reports about practitioners who are operating outside of the traditional scope of practice.
We have put all the pieces in place to put this issue behind us once and for all, now all we need is your financial support. The time is now--we can't wait for the NPs or Dietitians to finally win the support they need to exclude us from the marketplace, nor can we just hope this issue will go away--it won't. Please donate what you can by going to http://coloradocnh.synthasite.com/donations.php and clicking on "Donate", or by sending your donation to Joanie Coffey at the contact info below. You can also help by forwarding this email to your clients and everyone on your contact list. Thank you for your support!

Even
though the Capitol will be closed tomorrow due to the snow - we need to
emaill, fax, and call and leave messages since the hearing is on
Monday, February 6th.
There is new language for the dietitian bill.... many people will think that this language is adequate but it is NOT!!!!
EMAIL Kim for: (kimberlysharples@msn.com)

Big thanks go to ANH for their help in getting this information to us so that we can forward it on to you!!!!!!
Brief Synopsis: This amendment appears to leave nutrition practitioners alone. It does not. If this is truly a bill meant only for licensing dietitians, there is no reason for the bill to define the Nutrition Scope of Practice. Further, the Nutrition scope of practice is often indistinguishable from the Dietetics scope, so there is no guarantee with this amendment, that Nutritionists will not be violating the law. Once a state has licensure, because of how federal law is written, all nutrition practitioners in that state will be required to be licensed if they want their services covered by insurance. By licensing only dietitians, this will certainly put a financial squeeze on unlicensed practitioners as more insurance companies begin to cover nutrition. Unlicensed practitioners will be choked out of business. If CO legislators accept the CDA premise that licensing is necessary, then ALL affected parties must be at the table to define parameters. This amendent and law are unacceptable.
JANUARY 18, 2012
WE NEED YOUR HELP!!!!
The Dietitians have introduced a monopolistic and exclusionary bill (HB12-1060) that will mean only these select few Dietitians will be allowed to practice Nutrition in the state of Colorado.
This bill has been assigned to the House Agriculture, Livestock and Natural Resources committee. We do not have a date yet as to when this bill will be heard. When we find out the date, we will notify you immediately and ask for you to come to the Capitol hearing to help defeat this bill!
In the meantime, we ask that you email, call and/or fax the
members of this committee, as well as the sponsors of this bill to ask them to
OPPOSE HB 12-1060. We have provided a
petition that you can use to fax. You
will need to fax one page for every person. (EMAIL kimberlysharples@msn.com and she will forward these to you).
You can do all three - email, call and fax if you wish. If you email, you can do a copy/paste of the petition in the email. You may of course write your own letter as well.
PLEASE NOTE : There is a different fax number for representatives and a different fax for senators, so make sure you are using the correct fax number when faxing to the legislators.
PRACTITIONERS & BUSINESS OWNERS:
If you are a practitioner or business owner - please forward this to your customers and/or clients. Many practitioners and owners will also have these forms available for their clients and customers to sign. We appreciate your help in getting this information out to the public!
According to this bill, penalties for those practicing nutrition without being a Licensed Dietitian - are up to $500 fine and 6 months in jail AND Each Day of violation is considered a separate offense.
