As Jeanne has suggested, there have been more hoaxes than truthful articles about these issues in the past.
I'd like to suggest here that we all use a bit of common sense and realize that the licensed medical community is NOT interested in taking over from the alternative practitioners. In fact many of them have come to recognize the benefit of having alternative practitioners around, and also of people taking more charge (not less) of their lives in using vitamins and herbs to aid in good health maintenance.
Also, if such a panic were actually happening, I'm sure the National Guild of Hypnotists (as one organization) would have heard of it, and already made it's members aware of it. No such warning has been given. Along with this, it just shows how ignorant this individual is of the way the legal system in the US is set up, so that most States actually do have protections for Alternative practitioners in place, so that other professional bodies cannot usurp them. The NGH also uses the lobbying force of a very large, powerful union in the States to protect the interests of both the practitioners of hypnosis, as well as the public served by them. And to repeat, then - NOTHING has even shown on the radar in this regard.
This type of fear mongering damages, not aids, our ability to take care of ourselves naturally - it puts all kinds of negative thought out into the Universe, and as most here will agree, we don't need the LOA acting in this manner on our behalf. So lets all instead be putting out some positive energy and thought toward what we DO want, and keep that as our focus.
In Light,
Unis
