Response to medical herbalism degree
 

Dear Sarah
Many thanks for the explanation.I didnot realise it was a "bums on seats" situation.

Your rant was most justified and indeed quite restrained.You may care to look at the website of IRCH and their update to their statement on Statutory Regulation.They make it clear that the Universities that offered courses in medical herbalism were indeed motivated by "bums on seats".

So herbalists are legal but what are the educational standards required for State Registration?Is there an actual registered of State Registered Herbalists?If the educational standard is the university training required by NIMH and CCP,are herbalists trained by IRCH and Master Herbalists Association still allowed to practice?Will students presently being trained by those institutions be allowed to practice?

With regard to the disappearance of tinctures and other OTC herbal medicines ranting is perfectly acceptable!It is no less than gross interference with personal freedom of choice to satisfy the agenda of the multinational pharmaceutical companies.
Kevin
