The Alliance for Natural Health is proud to support HB 533 and SB 470 which was recently filed in the Florida Legislature. This bill would make naturopathy legal once again in Florida and reinstate the license for Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) in the state.
ANH had the opportunity to weigh-in on the language of this bill prior to its filling. We join a growing number of organizations calling on the Florida Legislature to pass this bill in 2025.
Since 1958, naturopathy has been illegal in Florida and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) have lived in fear of the state. Now is the time to turn the page on that chapter to make Naturopathy legal and formally recognize NDs once again.
It has been ANH’s longstanding position to support an open and fair marketplace in which consumers can decide for themselves what type of health professional best fits their needs. Shutting out entire categories of practitioners from healthcare limits freedom of choice. Importantly, this bill allows both traditional naturopaths and Naturopathic Doctors (NDs) to practice.
Too many Floridians are facing the burden of our growing chronic disease epidemic. To heal, so many of us must address the lifestyle factors that create the conditions for chronic diseases. Traditional naturopaths and NDs are critical to addressing this epidemic as naturopathy focuses on identifying and addressing the root cause of disease through lifestyle changes.
