A review of the literature on the issue of risk from harm in relation to the practice of homeopathic medicine in Ontario was commissioned by the National United Professional Association of Trained Homeopaths (Ontario). The Health Professions Regulatory Advisory Council (HPRAC) of the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care decided to examine the issue of regulating the practice of homeopathic medicine in Ontario.
The foundation of the Ontario Regulated Health Professions Act lies in the concept that regulation, which carries a heavy cost for the public, should not be considered unless there is a significant risk of harm to that public in thea bsence of regulation.
