On the Shannon Joy radio show, Razi traced the history of medical education and the naturopathic medicine profession, and she examined the recent veto of the Florida naturopathic licensure bill, CS/SB 688. She explained how the Flexner Report and the funding priorities behind it consolidated pharmaceutical medicine and marginalized naturopathic and eclectic schools over the following decades. She detailed the practical stakes of the Florida veto, where naturopathic practice remains a Class III felony, and she outlined what the bill would have changed for practitioners and patients across the state.
The conversation gave a national audience a clear account of how the profession reached its current position and why the case reports in the Journal of Applied Natural Medicine matter to the doctors and patients who rely on them.
