Part 2 Susan L. Narod American Council on Science and Health Lucy Peters, a professional electrologist who founded Lucy Peters, Ltd, in New york City, objects to any kind of regulation of electrolysis. She claims that the worst electrologists come from states that license electrologists. Licensing operates to perpetuate the status quo. There is an establishment in electrolysis that would prefer to maintain the status quo that was set up 50 years ago. The curriculum in most of the licensed states was written in the 1940s.
Most people do it badly.
In my opinion, it ought to be regulated. Electrolysis practitioner Jennifer Dunn, R.N., states that because of the prevalence of such diseases as AIDS and hepatitis, electrologists should be licensed. Not many people do that, but they could. We can't give them a dead body, and there's no funding to create a separate board. In New Jersey last year, we got an advisory committee under the existing medical board.
