In Ontario, medical supremacists are permitted to make entirely unfounded claims that holistic treatments ‘may’ be dangerous and ‘unscientific’. Further, to eliminate competition through unlawful amendments to our laws, they bend the ear of government advisors who appear entirely uninformed and/or wilfully ignorant about safe, effective alternatives to damaging drugs and mental health diagnoses. Mental health diagnoses and psychiatric drug treatments have been proven detrimental to recovery, thus no healthcare practitioner who refuses to subscribe to the medical-model should be forced to accept any scope of practice or regulation that forces on them the medical-drug model views that violate their beliefs and the research. To end the forcing of cradle-to-grave medical treatment and mental health diagnoses on Ontarians and the removal of our free choices in natural healthcare, we need your financial support. Please visit www.StopPsychotherapyTakeover.ca The entire Ontario healthcare system--and in no area more so than the mental health field--is regulated based on arbitrary academic credentials and advocacy for diagnoses that not only have no scientific support, but which provide no tangible benefit to the patient, and typically worsen outcomes. There is no proof whatever that a Master’s Degree, mental health diagnosis or psychiatric drug has healed any patient or client. The Psychotherapy Act, founded on ‘opinion’ and hidden self-serving ‘turf protecting’ agendas of psychologists, is unlawful, especially since now, during high unemployment, 40 or more unregistered psychotherapists were sent cease and desist letters, violating personal liberties and the Regulated Health Professions Act (RHPA) itself. Psychotherapy, no matter how widely it is defined, is NOT remotely dangerous when practiced by laypersons, and there has been no PROOF that it is. The RHPA states that anyone can offer psychotherapy or other overlapping non-psychotherapy service without joining the new College of Registered Psychotherapists, as long as they do not claim to be ‘Registered’ or a member of the College. The impositions on personal liberties and the deliberate restraint of trade and commerce under the guise of protecting the public is actually endangering Ontarians who want their own free choice in practitioner…not free choice after their preferred practitioners have been eliminated by self-serving groups of medical model advocates and unnecessary regulatory Colleges. The Psychotherapy Act, and especially the companion and highly dangerous Controlled Act of Psychotherapy, are the embodiment of the hijacking of the RHPA, an Ontario law passed in 1991 to prevent precisely this sort of attack on alternative treatments to drugs and surgery. These unlawful legislations are a true disgrace and severely undermine public confidence that it is protected from the agenda of Big Pharma and medical supremacists. Research shows that unregulated professionals are safe, and judging by public support, the most effective in safely helping clients with mental health and emotional wellness, pain management, spiritual struggles and general health and wellness recovery and preservation. The public has shown repeatedly that it is quite happy with our ‘standards’, and quite unhappy with conventional standards that suppress individuality and cost-effectiveness. Most of natural care professionals have decades of training in their chosen fields, essential hands-on experience, and have built practices based on the satisfaction of clients. In many cases ‘conventional’ healthcare education would be a detriment to being an effective mind-body-spirit practitioner. Regulations and policy designed to cow-tow to multi-national corporations through trade deals (TPP) have thrown the public under the bus, commoditized human life from cradle to grave for the sole profiteering agenda of the medical/pharmaceutical complex.
