What Constitutes the Unlicensed Practice of Medicine

The “unauthorized practice of medicine” is a legal concept defined by state laws, which vary but share common principles. Generally, these laws are outlined in a state’s Medical Practice Act and enforced by a state medical board. The core of the offense involves performing actions that are reserved for licensed medical professionals. These actions typically include diagnosing an ailment, treating a condition, operating on a person, or prescribing medication for any physical or mental health issue.

Giving what is perceived as “medical advice” can easily fall into the categories of diagnosing and treating. For instance, telling someone that their symptoms indicate a specific disease or recommending a particular course of action to heal an injury could qualify. It is not necessary for payment to be exchanged or for the person giving the advice to have intended harm.

This applies not only to individuals with no medical background but also to licensed professionals acting outside the scope of their specific license or in a state where they are not licensed. For example, a physician licensed in one state cannot legally provide medical advice to a patient in another state without being licensed there. Even using the title “doctor” without clarification by someone who is not a medical doctor can be considered a form of unlicensed practice.

Is it a wheat intolerant bar?

For the most part its not the products/ingredients that are the issue. At least for folks in the US, which is the majority of the community. The real issue is the processing and genetic altering.

Its why people that identify as having gluten allergy/sensitivity can often consume wheat products over seas without issue but virtually all of those products in the US make them feel like shit when consumed.

My wife suffers from many food allergies in the US often resulting in pain and discomfort from eating, making restaurant food virtually inedible. Yet when we travel outside of the US all the things that make her feel like death or immediately run to the bathroom are just fine elsewhere, with rare exception.

Well something in the food in europe is turning people retarded.

No disrespect, but that's not how allergies work.

If you could process (or not process) some allergens in a way that made them safe to eat (in Europe or anywhere else), you could make billions of dollars selling food to people that otherwise couldn't eat it. People who have been allergic to peanuts, eggs, fish, etc. would be throwing money at you ... but again, that's now how allergies work.

Now, I'm not saying there isn't truth to what you're saying, as we do process some foods very differently here vs. other countries. For instance, Europe handles salmonella in eggs the proper way (by preventing it at the source), while America handles it by allowing the salmonella to grow, and then washing it off the egg's exterior ... which is why we need to keep our eggs refrigerated, while the Europeans don't.

All I'm saying is that, whatever we do in America to piss off your wife's digestive/immune/whatever system ... it isn't about allergies to the food she's eating.

P.S. There are plenty of food-based illnesses that aren't allergies. For instance, I can't eat peanuts, but I don't die if I eat them (as I would if I was allergic) ... I just vomit and feel miserable for hours afterward.

Ye if one is systematically getting ill from american food, but nowhere else, and it's not some kind of confirmation bias/illusory correlation, there's a good chance it has to do with our incredibly lax standards for the kind of nasty chemicals, antimicrobials, bulking agents, and other additives for viscosity, shelf life, color, texture, etc etc etc... to maximize profit. Because our laws and regulations are written by special interests, power players, and corporations to a greater extent than most of our peer countries.

It's very fun, the amount of shit you can dump in a product in the US and still write organic on the box
