Editing Reflexology (section)

==Regulation==
In the United Kingdom, reflexology is coordinated on a voluntary basis by the [[Complementary and Natural Healthcare Council]] (CNHC). Registrants are required to meet Standards of Proficiency outlined by Profession Specific Boards<ref>[http://www.cnhc.org.uk/pages/index.cfm?page_id=47 CNHC – Policies]</ref> but since CNHC is voluntary anyone practicing can describe themselves as a reflexologist. When the CNHC began admitting reflexologists, a skeptic searched for, and found, 14 of them who were claiming efficacy on illnesses. Once pointed out, the CNHC had the claims retracted as it conflicted with the UK's Advertising Standards Authority code.<ref>[http://adventuresinnonsense.blogspot.com/2009/11/cnhc-wishes-to-place-on-formal-record_27.html CNHC Wishes to Thank Simon Perry], adventuresinnonsense.blogspot.com, Friday, 27 November 2009</ref>
