•Although we do not have a practice act we do have legal protection. Therefore, anyone who calls himself or herself an LDN or represents himself or herself as an LDN and is not, should be reported for violating our law.
•Any unethical professional conduct or behavior by an LDN should be reported to the licensure board.
•Reporting individuals who are violating our law will help us justify our law and the need for our legal protection.
