Health Regulators and the Law

The purpose of this page is to inform on the advancement of UK Laws on Energy as an alternative healing method in Complementary Alternative Medicine

Expert reviewer, Dr Luke James, Medical Director, Bupa Health Clinics, wrote his thoughts about the use of complementary therapies, saying that it is becoming popular in the UK.  In his own words, - "Most complementary therapies can be accessed privately through clinics, practitioners, and stores. In some scenarios, your doctor may refer you for complementary therapy funded by the NHS, but this is very rare. When choosing a practitioner for complementary therapy, it’s important to do so carefully. The more widely practiced therapies have governing or regulatory bodies. These bodies might be a good place to start to understand how practitioners in the field are regulated and registered, and where to find trusted practitioners. You may also find the Complementary & Natural Healthcare Council (CNHC) useful. Visit the CNHC site for more information. They are a voluntary regulator for practitioners of complementary therapies."
