Amarjit Singh sent the following information:
CHANDIGARH: Finally, the Punjab government has decided to take action against practitioners of unrecognised therapies.
These unrecognised systems of medicine comprise electropathy, electrohomeopathy, acupuncture, mangetotherapy, reiki, reflexology, urine therapy, autourine therapy, hypnotherapy, aromatherapy, colour therapy, pranic healing, gems and stone therapy and music therapy.
Principal secretary (department of medical education and research) J R Koundal has issued a public notice, warning all such practitioners. The notice says that deputy commissioners and senior superintendents of police can take action against these practitioners under relevant law.
Koundal told TOI anyone giving training and teaching in these therapies would face action. Union ministry of health and family welfare had in the past issued instructions that the students, who had studied the system of electrohomeopathy, were not eligible to practise the system and treat patients.
In his communique to states and UTs (dated November 25, 2003), the Union health minister had directed them to ensure that the institutions under them should not grant any degree and diploma in the stream of medicine, which had not been recommended for recognition.
He had also specified that the term "doctor" was used only by practitioners of recognised system of medicine.
TOI had earlier reported that many institutions of electrohomeopathy were running in Punjab and Chandigarh, and various practitioners were treating patients by following electrohomeopathy despite the fact that the system of medicine was not recognised by the Centre.
