• Protect individuals’ rights to pursue alternative treatments without regulatory interference, as long as services are safe and consensual.

• Reduce government oversight of personal health choices, giving consumers control over their health spending.

We need the government to have fewer mandates about what insurance is required to cover, not more.

The more things that insurance is required to mandate, the more insurance policies go up for everyone.

I’m a vertified Body Code/Emotion Code Practitioner. People have told me I have fixed their physical or mental health issues that doctors couldn’t. Unfortunately, all cost is out of pocket since insurance doesn’t cover any holistic healing modalities. There is a HUGE need for the holistic community to recognized and give the people more options than just doctors and toxic pills.

Some of us holistic practitioners are already certified but not all certifications are equal…so instead of a new/additional certification…create list of qualities for discerning depth of training as well as years of experience / actual already in practice. Create a state level repository of vetted holistic practitioners. Some groups are already doing this themselves (Reiki) but consumers do not know to look at these sources. Create a state level rotating board of qualified people to vet applicants for the holistic directory. Some of us have already been vetted by the existing groups so these groups could be tapped to assist or at least create the first version of the directory. The word “certification” is over used and people with no required client hours with instructor oversight prior to completion of training is NOT a certification!
