The Facts: In 1997, two-thirds of Americans used complementary and alternative therapies and spent $34 billion out-of-pocket for these gentle, natural health practices.

The Problem : Florida’s laws and Constitution are in conflict about whether the government may limit your choice of practitioners for these gentle therapies.

Florida ’s Department of Health (DOH) regulates licensed health care professions. In the DOH's opinion, you do not have the right to receive gentle, natural health care therapies from the practitioner of your choice. The DOH thinks that you must receive these therapies from people licensed in another profession such as Medicine or Massage. If the DOH is correct, the government is effectively forcing you to use practitioners who may have little experience in the gentle therapies that you seek.

Florida Health Freedom Action (FHFA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to protecting your health freedom rights. In the opinion of FHFA’s legal staff, Florida law limits your health care choices only when it’s essential to protect you from a risk of significant harm. If this risk doesn’t exist - as is the case with gentle CATH therapies - you are entitled to use the therapies and practitioners of your choice.

In FHFA’s opinion, the Department of Health’s interpretation ignores your Constitutional right to make personal health care decisions without unnecessary state control.
