Government that wrongly declare that none of the 17 most commonly used natural therapies are effective. “These deeply flawed reports are
being inappropriately used to support calls for drastic changes that will impact and restrict consumer choice and result in increased costs to the healthcare system.” Your Health Your Choice calls for
a Senate Inquiry into bias against complementary medicine, specifically calling for an investigation into the National Health and Medical Research Council’s review of homeopathy that is being used to support drastic policy change. Australian lawyer and partner at law firm Mills Oakley, Doctor Teresa Nicoletti, said consumers were right to feel their choice was under threat. Dr Nicoletti said she had
independently reviewed the NHMRC report and, in her opinion, it showed bias and serious administrative and
scientific defects. That evidence is now part of the complaint that is before the Commonwealth Ombudsman. “If you use naturopathy, herbal
medicine, homeopathy, chiropractic, acupuncture, even yoga and massage to support your health then this affects you”, said Mr Dendrinos. “A healthy democracy supports
diversity of choice in healthcare, and Australians value this basic right. Once this right is restricted or removed it’s hard to get it back again”, he said. Every Australian who joins Your
Health Your Choice has a letter sent on their behalf to their local Federal MP calling for them to support a Senate Inquiry and right of choice in healthcare. American filmmaker, Laurel Chiten,
is using her documentary Just One Drop to help raise awareness of the campaign, and Aussie actress, Zoe Naylor, has been an ambassador.
Ms Sharkey said, “We must allow people to have the choice of what they give themselves, how they treat themselves. If they want to go to a doctor, fine. If they want to have natural remedies, fine. It must be freedom of choice.” l
