Is it legal for a Chinese medicine practitioner to tell you to stop taking a prescribed medication?

In many jurisdictions, it is generally not legal for a Chinese medicine practitioner or any alternative medicine provider to instruct a patient to stop taking prescribed medications without the oversight of a licensed medical doctor. While they can provide advice on complementary therapies, patients should always consult with their primary healthcare provider before making any changes to their prescribed treatment plans. It's essential for practitioners to respect the boundaries of their practice and prioritize patient safety.
