Homeopathy Gets Nod from US Congress

Health freedom advocate, Rep. Dan Burton (R-Indiana), retired from the US House of Representatives at the end of 2012. In his retirement speech Rep. Burton offered his support for CAM therapies and urged his colleagues to protect the freedom of choice in healthcare:  "...These therapies include acupuncture, massage therapy, traditional healing systems from various cultures around the world such as Traditional East Asian Medicine, Kampo, Native American Medicine, homeopathy and energy therapies such as QiGong and Reiki as well as the use [sic] stress management tools and nutrition and dietary supplements. These also include conventional therapies used for purposes not yet recognized as mainstream such as Chelation Therapy for cardiovascular benefit. I hope my colleagues in 2013 will continue to protect access [sic] therapies and products so that Americans can continue to make their own choices in health care and retain their health freedom." The entirety of Rep. Burton's speech can be viewed as a part of the Congressional Record.                                 Mr. Burton
