http://www.buckeyeinstitute.org/article/222 Dr. Pam
Popper ND, owner of The Wellness Forum in Ohio, began her fight
with the Ohio Dietetics Board in 1997. For the next 4 years
Dr. Popper was forced to hire two attorneys, subpoenaed to
turn over client and instructor information, as well as
class outlines for everything on The Wellness Forum
calendar, and even threatened with jail.
At
one time she was threatened with incarceration for failing
to comply with a subpoena that requested, among other
things, a list of other practitioners who were engaged in
the same activities as Pam. The investigation ended when
elected officials began looking into the activities of the
board, and discovered that it had investigated close to 800
people during one 5-year period, and taken disciplinary
action against close to 300 of them.
Her story
is not uncommon across the country.
Rouge dietetic boards
are trying to establish themselves as the only people who
can talk about nutrition. They do this by passing “turf
protecting” laws under the guise of consumer protection.

Legal Fees: Patty Shipley ND.
Click to hear Patty's interview (Apple QuickTime
required
free download)
Patty Shipley, a Naturopathic
Doctor of Ohio, has been investigated twice by the Ohio
Dietetics Board for practicing nutrition/dietetics
without a license.
She has spent over $20,000 to protect her business from
being closed down because of their Dietitian Licensure
law.
She had
put a flier up in Wild Oats for a basic nutrition class
and a complaint was made by a dietitian who saw the
flier. Patty was told by the Dietetic Board that she was
breaking the law and was given a cease and desist
letter. She was told that she was not allowed to give
out nutrition advice, or even suggest a nutrition book
to others, as this would be considered to be holding
herself out to be a nutrition expert. She had to agree
to quit giving nutrition classes.
She used the ND title (for
Naturopathic Dr), and that there is also a Nursing title
that uses ND and a complaint was made to the state
medical board. The medical board said they saw no reason
for an investigation, but told her to use "Naturopath"
instead of Naturopathic Dr. Or ND.
The Ohio Dietetics board told her in December of 2006
that they felt she was practicing dietetics.
·After being investigated and spending thousands of
dollars in legal fees, she was told she could continue
her practice.
She states that other practitioners, who don't have this
kind of money, have to close down their business or move
to another state.
