DEA Revokes Naturopath Registration After State License Loss

## Summary

Amanda Ward, a naturopathic doctor from California, lost her DEA registration because she no longer has the legal right to handle controlled substances in her state. She didn’t respond to the DEA’s notices or ask for a hearing, so her registration was officially revoked as of May 31, 2026. This means she can’t prescribe or manage controlled drugs anymore, affecting her medical practice and patients.
