Non-Scientific Practitioners
The WSMA believes it is wrong to engage in or to aid and abet in treatment
which has no scientific basis and is dangerous, is calculated to deceive
the patient by giving him/her false hope, or which may cause the patient
to delay in seeking proper care until their condition becomes
irreversible. (JC 3.01-87) (Reaffirmed A-23)
