*************************************************

Section 2052, California Business and Professional code
defines the practice of medicine as:

"Any person who practices or attempts to practice or who
advertises or holds himself or herself out as practicing
any system or mode of treating the sick or afflicted in
this state or who diagnoses, treats, operates, for or
prescribes for any ailment, blemish, deformity, disease,
disfigurement, disorder injury or other physical or
mental condition of any person."

The unlicensed practice of medicine is a misdemeanor.
