Dear Healers,
this is an interesting information about how alternative healing is being dealt with in Brazil....
In most countries of Europe and many states in the USA, there are more restrictions. In Austria, acupuncture and homeopathy are an exclusive domain of the locally licensed medical doctors as high fees are being charged for such treatments. Before they got legalized, even medical doctors who practised acupuncture or homeopathy have been called "quacks" and could get their medical license and degree revoked, and they could even be send to prison for practising such therapies. For your information, Prof. Dr. Bischko (a surgeon who introduced acupuncture in Austria, and Dr. Dorcsi (who introduced homepathy in Austria) both had major problems, and Dr. Dorcsi had temporarily lost his degree and had to go to prison.
Namaste,
Elisabeth

Information about Alternative Healing in Brazil
I had the following information from a member in Brazil;
Brazil has about two more Reiki Associations and Reiki was recognized as a profession in January 2007 by the Brazilian Government. It is growing more and more. Now, many hospitals are accepting Reiki and Reiki Therapists are free to work. Reiki is now called Energetic Therapy. All Reiki Masters associated (member of a Reiki Association) can apply legal paper to open an office or Reiki Clinic.

Brazil also legalized in January 2007 Acupunture (even though the medical doctors are not happy because many of them think that only doctors can learn acupunture), Fitotherapy, Flower Essence Therapy (Bach Flower Essence is very popular in Brazil, and now Brazil has about 14 Flower Essences Systems). The Brazilian population likes "alternative" therapies and that is why the government could not hold the legalization longer. The legalization has change many things and now it is quite dificult for one that does not work seriously can keep its office longer.
