Alternative Medicine Regulation Act
-
In response to the comments made by Cllr. Čikarová, I propose the following amendment:
AMENDMENT II
SECTION I. DEFINITIONS
I. Alternative medicine: practices purported to have palliative or healing effects that lack scientific plausibility, testability, repeatability, and
/orevidence for the claims made about them , as determined by individual member-states.
However, my original intention with this act was merely to allow individuals harmed by alternative medicine practitioners to sue, and thus for local civil courts to hold the responsibility of determining which of their cases have standing - and thus of interpreting it on a case-by-case basis.
I am also confused by the statement made by Cllr. Mizrachi-Roscoe for similar reasons. This act does not outlaw alternative medicine. It simply holds its providers responsible for telling the truth and for not harming their patients - a standard which modern medicine is already generally held to.

I also propose the following amendment:
AMENDMENT III
II. Providers of alternative medicine are liable for all harm caused to consumers of the services, practices, or products they offer that arises because of the consumption of said services, practices, or products, the possibility of which was not previously disclosed by the provider.

Debate has ended. Three amendments have been proposed, as follows:
AMENDMENT I
III. Alternative medical providers must duly inform users of their services that practices deemed to be 'alternative medicine' under this act are not endorsed by any official health agencies, and the provider must disclose any possible consequences of undergoing alternative medical treatment.
a. All practising alternative medical institutions must apply for and obtain a licence to practise. This licence accredits appropriate compliance with disclosure requirements.
b. The disclosure, and disclosure licence, must be made public and readily available to users and to potential users.
c. The relevant government agency, determined by the government of a respective state, can request evidence of this disclosure and licence to ensure continued compliance, and issue penalties for noncompliance.
AMENDMENT II
SECTION I. DEFINITIONS
I. Alternative medicine: practices purported to have palliative or healing effects that lack scientific plausibility, testability, repeatability, and
/orevidence for the claims made about them , as determined by individual member-states.
AMENDMENT III
II. Providers of alternative medicine are liable for all harm caused to consumers of the services, practices, or products they offer that arises because of the consumption of said services, practices, or products, the possibility of which was not previously disclosed by the provider.
