It is a felony in the State of California for an MD to treat cancer with anything except surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy. Yet, legislation was passed in 2004 making it legal for MDs to use any complementary and alternative therapy (CAM) so long as they do not try to dissuade patients from mainstream therapies and they do no harm. We need additional legislation to make it safe for MDs to administer CAM therapies without fear of loss of license, fines, and imprisonment.
CCFHF is engaged in creating such legislation today. If you want to have the option of integrative therapies, you can help by letting your congress person know by letter, email, or personal communication.
