for those interested in naturopathic medicine. . . this past week was naturopathic health week according to a Senate Resolution
http://aanp.membershipsoftware.org/files/Naturopathic%20Medicine%20Week%20-%20S_%20Res_%20221(2).pdf
a Resolution doesn't really do anything but proclaim that this is something people are interested in and the Senate is aware that it is of interest/concern to citizens -- but it is a showing that the naturopathic movement is growing.
there is some good language in the resolution about chronic conditions/cost etc
it is a positive step in movement towards insurance coverage for alternative methods -- still a long way off, but a step nonetheless.
