Biological Laws of Nature Advocates (BLNA) is a Private Membership Association (PMA). For more about PMAs, see Why a Private Membership Association?
How can a PMA Protect Practitioners, Therapists and Advocates of the Biological Laws?
1. Freedom from Public Jurisdiction and Regulations
Public vs. Private Domain:
When operating within the public domain, therapists and practitioners are subject to the same laws and regulations as licensed medical professionals. This includes medical licensing, malpractice laws, and other public health regulations, as determined by the countries public laws and statutes. In contrast, a PMA like the BLNA operates in the private domain, meaning it is governed by private contracts between members rather than by public law.
This allows therapists and practitioners who are aligned with the Biological Laws to provide their services to consenting members of the PMA without being subject to the same regulatory oversight as a public practice. As long as practitioners make it clear that they are offering services to private members under the terms of the PMA, they are generally not required to adhere to public regulations that apply to conventional medical practices, only to those set out by the PMA’s Constitution and any other membership conditions it has.
2. Protection from Medical Licensing Requirements
Avoiding Licensing Risks:
Many therapists and practitioners who are aligned with the Biological Laws are not licensed medical professionals, which can put them at risk of being accused of practicing medicine without a licence. This is a common issue faced by practitioners of natural or alternative therapies that are not recognised by the medical establishment.
By forming a PMA or joining the BLNA, therapists and practitioners who work with the Biological Laws can provide services under the protection of a private contract. In a PMA, the services offered are viewed as private, contractual agreements between consenting adults. As long as the BLNA member makes it clear that the services provided are educational, advisory, or holistic in nature (rather than medical diagnoses or treatments), they can avoid the risks associated with practicing medicine without a licence.
3. Member Consent and Understanding
Informed Consent:
Within the BLNA, members (clients/students) voluntarily join the association and agree to the terms and services provided by the BLNA members who is offering them the service. This framework operates on the principle of informed consent. Clients/students of BLNA Members are made aware that they are receiving alternative services based on the Biological Laws of Nature, and they willingly enter into the private contract, understanding that these services fall outside of mainstream medical treatment.
By clearly outlining the nature of the services and ensuring members consent to them, BLNA Members can reduce the risk of legal disputes or claims of malpractice. The private agreement ensures that both parties—the BLNA Member (therapist/practitioner/advocate) and the Associate member (their client/student)—acknowledge the non-medical, alternative nature of the services being provided.
4. Legal Defense in Case of Disputes
Private Law Protections:
If a legal dispute arises, the BLNA member can assert that they operate under private law rather than public law. Because the association is built on private contracts, they can argue that the services provided are not subject to the same legal standards as public medical practices. The BLNA can provide letters of confirmation and support should the need arise.
For example, if a Biological laws-aligned therapist or practitioner is accused of practising medicine without a licence, the BLNA member can argue that the services were provided within a private contractual agreement and not offered to the public. This distinction can protect practitioners from regulatory enforcement or penalties, as long as the member operates within their private framework and adheres to their governing contract. It is important that you check with your own country’s Laws to make sure this stands legally in your country.
5. Confidentiality and Privacy Protections
Ensuring Member Privacy:
A key benefit of the BLNA operating as a PMA is the enhanced privacy for both Biological Laws-aligned therapists/practitioners/advocates and members (clients/students). In the public domain, medical practitioners are required to maintain detailed patient records that may be subject to scrutiny by licensing boards or regulatory agencies. However, in a PMA, the private nature of the association means that interactions between therapists/practitioners and members are confidential and protected by the private contract.
This allows Biological Laws-aligned therapists and practitioners to work in a secure and confidential environment, without the fear of government or third-party interference in their practice. Members (clients/students), are also assured that their health information and discussions within the PMA remain private.
6. Ability to Operate Without Interference
Autonomy in Practice:
The BLNA, as a PMA, grants therapists, advocates and practitioners who are aligned with the Biological Laws the freedom to operate without interference from public health authorities, medical boards, or other regulatory bodies. By clearly defining the services offered as educational or advisory rather than medical, the BLNA enables aligned therapists, advocates and practitioners to continue applying the principles of the Bioloigcal Laws to their practice without fear of legal action.
This autonomy allows BLNA Members who are therapists, advocates and practitioners to focus on delivering alternative health services aligned with the Biological Laws of Nature, supporting their Assocaite Members (their clients/students) in their journey without the constraints imposed by public health regulations.
In summary, a PMA, such as Biological Laws of Nature Advocates (BLNA), provides vital protection for Biological Laws-aligned therapists and practitioners by allowing them to operate within a private, contract-based framework. This legal structure offers freedom from public regulations, protection from medical licensing requirements, and confidentiality for both therapists/practitioners/advocates and their clients/students. By establishing clear membership agreements and ensuring informed consent, the BLNA can safeguard the practice and advocacy of the Biological Laws, allowing therapists, practitioners and teachers to continue their work in a secure and supportive environment.
