Please Stop the Current Regulation on Traditional Chinese Medicine Practice
- Target:
- To the Legislative Assembly of Ontario:
- Region:
- Canada
WHEREAS, Ontario Regulation 27/13 will effectively destroy the practice of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) in Ontario, leaving countless patients with limited or no choice in managing their personal health.
WHEREAS, OR 27/13 requires that;
a) TCM records and prescriptions must appear in English, French or Latin, resulting in miscommunication which could be harmful to patients.
b) More than 90% of common ailments can no longer be treated by TCM doctors;
c) TCM doctors cannot sell their essential herbal medications and supplements;
d) They must acquire an extensive knowledge of western medical theory, whereas western doctors "qualify" in TCM after only dozens hours' training.
We call on the Government of Ontario to uphold the long-held status, and value to the community, of verifiably licensed TCM doctors. And immediately stop and review the current destructive regulation.
At the same time, we urge an innovative and fair regulation designed to protect and benefit both patients and practitioners.
