- In Sweden it is illegal for a child to receive homeopathy before age 8 and the government is considering increasing this age to 15. The restriction applies to all complementary treatments.
- A medical professional is banned from supplying complimentary treatments along with allopathic medicine. It is illegal for a doctor to study homeopathy.
- When a patient visits a doctor in Sweden they are only allowed to address one symptom. There is no opportunity to look at the whole person in the doctor visit.
Quote: "Nurse practitioners who are also trained in Homeopathy in Sweden will hide that they have knowledge of homeopathy”
