I received an email from Brio Medical, an integrative oncology center in Scottsdale, AZ. There is a bill being considered in the AZ house that will severely limit the people’s healthcare options.
“Dear Friends and Patients of Brio-Medical,
In a recent and unexpected development, the health choices and freedom that we cherish in Arizona are at risk due to a new piece of legislation, HB2739.
This bill, introduced by Representative Laurin Hendrix, seeks to dissolve the Homeopathic Board, which could drastically restrict access to integrative and natural medicines throughout our state.
A Message From Dr. Goodyear:
The power of choice in healthcare is one of Arizona's most treasured principles. HB2739 is more than just a bill; it's a barrier to the freedom we’ve always upheld in choosing integrative and homeopathic treatment options.
These practices are not just alternatives; they are essential options that have supported the wellness journeys of many.
This isn’t just about health but our right to choose.
Stand with us on Feb 14 to protect our diverse healing community. Your action can keep the spirit of health choice alive in Arizona.
Urgent Call to Action:
The fate of this bill will be decided tomorrow, Wednesday, February 14, at 2 pm during the Committee of Regulatory Affairs meeting.
Time is critical, and we must unite to make our collective voices heard in opposition to HB2739.

If I understood it correctly, it means Big Pharma or nothing.
But what does that even mean
If you have a private doctor that you pay cash to go to, how can they control that?
I have a natural path doctor that I go to, but I pay cash for it, so insurance is not involved at all. Does that affect those types of relationships. Or is it basically insurance based. Most of my doctors, I pay cash for - so I’ve already there. And I have been for years.
I don’t know how they can control them except try and take away their licenses. I guess We will have to see and pray it doesn’t pass. If it does, appeal it!
I’m always looking for alternatives so I don’t Use unnecessary drugs (Big Pharma).
