Tell Your Congressmen and Women to Co Sponsor the Health Freedom
Protection Act, H.R. 2117 - The FDA is on a rampage against
dietary supplements. Preventing reasonable and factual health
claims, the FDA is using its immense power to fuel the
pharmaceutical profit picture at the expense of the lives and
health of hundreds of thousands of Americans each year. The
rights of Americans to learn about natural products through
truthful, science-based health claims is routinly stifled to the
detriment of health and health freedom in the United States.
The FDA -
Who Do They Really Protect?
by James DeMeo, Ph.D.
(excerpts)
Anti-Constitutional Activities and Abuse of Police Power by
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and other Federal Agencies
Anti-Constitutional
Activities and Abuse of Police Power by the U.S. Food and Drug
Administration and other Federal AgenciesIn recent years, there has
been an upsurge of police activities in the USA, the nature of which
most Americans would more readily associate with repressive
dictatorships. As early as the 1950s, the FDA was engaged in
aggressively spying on health-care providers who employed
medications and approaches which were not considered "acceptable" by
mainstream orthodox medicine. Notably, it was and has been the
American Medical Association (AMA) which has dominated ideas within
the medical community, as well as nearly all legislation related to
health care.
If
the AMA dislikes a particular health care approach, they work to
banish such methods within hospitals, and to suspend the medical
licenses of any doctor who employs them. They have often been able
to rely upon state licensing boards and legislatures, and even the
US Congress, to pass laws outlawing natural healing methods and the
non-MD practitioner (such as midwives, herbalists or
acupuncturists). Failing here, the AMA and friends in the drug
industry have relied upon their allies in the FDA to aggressively
assault the advocates of natural treatment methods.
Many new health care discoveries have thereby remained
"underground", never being allowed to flower productively in the
light of day. Inexpensive, non-toxic and unpatentable natural
healing methods have never been seriously or honestly evaluated by
the AMA-FDA pharmaceutical-dominated medical establishment. Instead,
policemen have been called in to simply arrest and jail the
offending practitioners, seize their files, mailing lists and other
property, burn their books, and otherwise trample the US
Constitution into the dirt.
Increasingly, health care decisions in the USA are being mandated
by small cadres of "specialists" who decide whether this or that
medication will be made legal and available to the American public.
Where scientific evidence once was the criteria for extended use of
a new medication, such decisions are today being made more on the
basis of the profits which can be made from a particular medication
-- too many of the top physician-bureaucrats working in the FDA,
National Institutes of Health (NIH), American Cancer Society (ACS),
etc. are themselves often drug-company millionaires, with personal
stock holdings or investments in the companies whom they regulate.
Drug companies provide large sums to political campaigns so as to
definitively influence legislation, and to various medical
institutes, to "research" their products. Their full-page color
advertisements for new drugs in medical journals essentially pay for
those publications. Pharmaceutical companies are one of the highest
profit margin industries in the U.S. who do not have to account for
the often extreme prices they charge - higher than anywhere else in
the world. Drug company money plays a powerful role in shaping
health policy, the approval process for new patent drugs, and
publishing (or censoring) research findings about the effectiveness
or side-effects of those drugs.
According to a recent study in the New England Journal of
Medicine, about a third of all American adults use unconventional
medical treatments, such as chiropractic, therapeutic massage,
relaxation techniques, special diets and megavitamins. Americans are
increasingly attracted to non-toxic natural healing methods, as an
alternative to the cut, burn and poison methods of allopathic
medicine. In recent years, there also has been increasing evidence
that vitamins and other items advocated by "health food nuts" do
indeed work to prevent degenerative diseases, and to promote
recovery and remission from severe illness. Health reformers are
increasingly advocating natural healing methods, including natural
childbirth, home birth, breastfeeding of infants, and organic fruits
and vegetables Vitamins A, B, C and E in moderate to high doses are
increasingly being found to reduce one's risk of heart disease,
cancers, and other degenerative diseases. Indeed, the National
Institute of Health, in response to growing pressure from the
public, recently opened an "Office of Alternative Medicine", and has
started to fund investigations of natural healing methods.(10)
The percentage of Americans attracted to natural healing methods
is growing and threatens the economic monopoly of Big Medicine, the
AMA-FDA-Pharmacy cartel, which has for many years dictated health
care approaches used in the USA with an iron fist. This appears to
be the major reason for the intensification of the FDA's vicious and
murderous war against the natural health movement.

The FDA goes after pet store owners too! 1990; El Cajon,
California: The FDA attempts to railroad Sissy Harrington-McGill,
57-year old owner of a pet food store, for violation of a proposed
"Health Claims Law" because her literature stated vitamins would
help keep pets healthy. Her store was raided and ransacked without a
search warrant. When her day in court arrived, Harrington-McGill
requested a jury trial -- the judge refused her request, dictating
that he alone would judge the case. She was tried and convicted of
violation of the Health Claims Law, even though it had not yet been
passed by the US Congress at the time the FDA raided her, or at the
time of her trial or conviction. Ms. Harrington-McGill repeatedly
informed the federal judge of this fact, but he ignored her
complaint. For this first-time misdemeanor "violation" of a
non-existing law, she was sentenced to 179 days in prison, with a
fine of $10,000. She was led away in chains and served 114 days in
prison before being released after the U.S. Congress refused to pass
the "Health Claims Law". Lawsuits against the FDA have been filed.

Pharmacist Fined $1Million For Advising Juices, Natural Supplements
This is an old and familiar theme of abuse of power and
suppression of choice by the pharma-based medical industry in
America. In this case, we have a man, Larry Rawdon, who has a
pharmacist licence in Tennessee, but runs a health food store.
Rawdon discovered what I and so many, many other people have
discovered - drugs don't work, but Nature based "medicine" does. He
tells people who seek his advice that taking freshly made
vegetable/fruit juices, along with supplements and coffee enemas,
for example, will often bring beneficial results in terms of
increased energy and recovery from disease debilitation (in essence,
the Gerson Therapy which has been successfully applied for 80 years
since formulated by Dr. Max Gerson in the 1920s). A man by the name
of David Ashley, who had fourth stage pancreatic cancer-the most
deadly form of cancer possible- comes to him for advice and finds
that juicing had indeed increased his energy level and perhaps gave
him hope-for a time- of recovery from his cancer. This was not an
unreasonable expectation because a certain percentage of people with
fourth stage pancreatic cancer have recovered using the Gerson model
of "therapy." (look up the work of Dr. Nicholas Gonzalez in New York
City. He's been using the Gerson therapy for years to treat
pancreatic cancer patients).

CONGRESSMAN RON PAUL OF TEXAS BEFORE THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
Free Speech and Dietary Supplements
" .... The American people have made it clear they do not want
the federal government to interfere with their access to dietary
supplements, yet the FDA and the FTC continue to engage in
heavy-handed attempts to restrict such access. The FDA continues to
frustrate consumers’ efforts to learn how they can improve their
health even after Congress, responding to a record number of
constituents’ comments, passed the Dietary Supplement and Health and
Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA). FDA bureaucrats are so determined to
frustrate consumer access to truthful information that they are even
evading their duty to comply with four federal court decisions
vindicating consumers’ First Amendment rights to discover the health
benefits of foods and dietary supplements.
FDA bureaucrats have even refused to abide by the DSHEA section
allowing the public to have access to scientific articles and
publications regarding the role of nutrients in protecting against
diseases by claiming that every article concerning this topic is
evidence of intent to sell a drug.
Because of the FDA’s censorship of truthful health claims,
millions of Americans may suffer with diseases and other health care
problems they may have avoided by using dietary supplements. For
example, the FDA prohibited consumers from learning how folic acid
reduces the risk of neural tube defects for four years after the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended every woman
of childbearing age take folic acid supplements to reduce neural
tube defects. This FDA action contributed to an estimated 10,000
cases of preventable neutral tube defects!
The FDA also continues to prohibit consumers from learning about
the scientific evidence that glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate are
effective in the treatment of osteoarthritis; that omega-3 fatty
acids may reduce the risk of sudden death heart attack; and that
calcium may reduce the risk of bone fractures.

CODEX – THE SICKNESS INDU$TRY’s LAST STAND
Secret Anti-Health Legislation being Passed in Australian Parliament
Without public knowledge or debate the Australian Government has
initiated steps to force the natural health industry under the
control of multi-national drug corporations. Autralians and New
Zealanders will lose the right to choose Natural health care if the
Australian Government's secret legislation is not stopped. Since
Pan Pharmaceuticals was gutted by the TGA in 2003, the regulator has
installed drug corporations on committees that have generated
volumes of new laws that have sent the Australian supplement
industry to the wall, making the markets ready to be taken over by
drug companies.
The war on supplements is nothing but a trade war. Supplements
are hurting drug companies. They want their share of the action.
Drug companies have lobbied the Australian government to bring about
massive secret changes to Australia's health care structure. Here's
what they've done: The Australian Government has signed an
international treaty (known as the JTA Treaty) in 2003 which forms
the basis for a massive new international regulating "agency". This
is due to come into effect July 1, 2005. unless the voters stop
implementing legislation from being passed by Parliament.
This new regulating agency, called the Trans Tasman Agency is
structurally nothing more than an off shore corporation partnered by
the TGA and multi national drug corporations. That means
multi-national drug companies will "regulate" all vitamins and
supplements. The new 'offshore' agency will operate directly within
the international juristiction of CODEX.
Health Freedom is Under
Attack
- Worldwide pharmaceutical interests have launched a secretive
global attack to limit access to information on health choices
and restrict the right to obtain dietary supplements.
- Pharmaceutical interests would gain financially if
supplements are strictly controlled and so they are pushing for
the US to adopt Codex Alimentarius, an international code of
standards that would force us to "harmonize" with France and
Germany's restrictive rules.
- In Europe, The EU (European Union) Vitamin Directive
threatens to destroy consumer access to therapeutic doses of
vitamins and minerals, except by prescription.
- In the U.S., Americans who write to Congress to demand an
Oversight Hearing on Codex are being told that a Federal Statute
already protects their rights. This is misleading.
- Current pressure to set arbitrary "safety standards" for
vitamins (UL's or Upper Levels) in the US could set the stage
for harmonization. It has begun..
"If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals,
homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you
have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of
the game for Codex is to shift all remedies into the prescription
category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical
monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms.
Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the Canadian
Health Food Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada (HPB).
The Codex proposals already exist as law in Norway and Germany
where the entire health food industry has literally been taken over
by the drug companies. In these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is
illegal as is vitamin E above 45 IU, vitamin B1 over 2.4 mg and so
on. Shering-Plough, the Norway pharmaceutical giant, now controls an
echinacea tincture, which is being sold there as an over the counter
drug at grossly inflated prices. The same is true of ginkgo and many
other herbs, and only one government controlled pharmacy has the
right to import supplements as medicines which they can sell to
health food stores, convenience stores or pharmacies."
The
Sinister Truth Behind Operation Cure.All
April 16, '05
UK Parliament SMASHES Big Pharma...
Feb 07 - Dr. James Howenstine, MD. - The battle against
Codex Alimentarius in the USA has been lost.[1] Congress near the
end of the 2006 legislative session passed the Codex legislation.
Big Pharma is brilliantly managed. My guess is they will not risk a
major confrontation with the American public at this time. They will
probably simply slowly begin to mop up the companies that compose
the more than 30 billion dollars in sales a year by the alternative
health industry. This means that companies in the U.S. that create
the alternative health supplements which keep millions away from
needing pharmaceutical drugs will slowly and steadily receive mafia
type offers to sell out for money or be closed down. Those that sell
out will notice that their products are still available but will
require a prescription from a physician to order and will be priced
10 times higher than their previous price. This pattern of operation
has already been established in Germany and Norway (two nations that
have powerful pharmaceutical operations). The end result of the
Codex disaster for healthcare will be that the pharmaceutical
industry will see its enormous earnings multiplied and only wealthy
persons will be able to continue their use of supplements. It is
hard to imagine, due to their side effects and limited ability to
cure anything, but pharmaceutical companies will become the only
source of products for treating diseases for most persons.

The battle between the rights of consumers, natural health
practitioners and healthfood manufacturers versus the corporate
health and pharmaceutical giants, is presently being stepped up
worldwide. The natural health industry – which is thriving and
growing in our polluted world – seems constantly under attack. The
pharmaceutical cartel is extremely powerful and its agenda is being
followed and adhered to by governments around the world. The pharma
industry lobbys governments and trade groups, bringing pressure to
bear on newspaper editors and media outlets. Health and medical
writers often write negative articles about natural health therapies
and products. During the last few years, it has been organic high
potency vitamins, minerals and food supplements that have received a
bad press, as well as any therapy such as herbalism or homeopathy
that involves taking pills or capsules which are in direct
competition with orthodox medicine. These products and therapies are
losing the pharmas millions per annum. The reason for these attacks
is because the pharma cartel want to take over and control this
highly lucrative market to produce synthetic, low dose vitamins,
supplements and herbal preparations of questionable benefit to
consumers. Many health food/supplements manufacturers are presently
being bought up by pharmaceutical companies.

PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION
YOUR HEALTH FREEDOM IS AT RISK
A whopping 80% of the world uses herbal medicine, vitamins and
botanicals as their primary health care. Even in developed countries
like the USA, people are increasingly turning to natural remedies.
In Japan, the use of natural remedies is growing faster than the use
of pharmaceuticals!!! If 80% of the world uses natural remedies,
that means the multi-national pharmaceutical companies only have 20%
of the market and this is why your health freedom is in jeopardy.
The multi-national pharmaceutical companies want not just a piece
of the 80% of the natural remedy market, they want it all and to
accomplish this, they have created a devilish plan. -The
pharmaceutical companies have had their lobbyists influence the
delegates at the Codex Alimentarius (Food Code), a part of the World
Health Organization, to make it law that vitamins, herbs and
botanicals are drugs. -At present, Codex classifies herbs,
botanicals, minerals and vitamins as food. -If herbs, vitamins,
minerals and botanicals are drugs then in order to sell them you
need to do testing which costs on average between $140 million and
$500 million. -The only companies that can afford to do this type of
testing are the pharmaceuticals putting all other vitamin, herbal
and botanical companies out of business. -The result is that you
will see both poor quality natural remedies product created by
pharmaceuticals to keep you sick and the price of your average
natural remedy will inflate by a ridiculous 1500% !!! -Unless you
act now, you will only be able to get vitamin C as a prescription
from your doctor and only in amounts that meet the daily minimum
requirement which in vitamin C's case is 60mg.
HERE'S THE PROPOSAL THAT'S THREATENING YOUR
HEALTH...
On October 7, 1996 the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for
Special Dietary Use (NFSDU) considered a new proposal presented by
Canada to: begin a negative 'no trade list' of herbs and botanicals.
start the process of declaring herbs and botanicals at useful
potencies as drugs, that is as not foods. Take the steps to start
the end of the of the current practice of selling herbs and
botanicals as foods and giving information on therapeutic
indications through the use of independent reference centers that
tell all about therapeutic and preventative indications. -The
Germans put a proposal on the table that said the following about
vitamins and minerals: to end the international trade in high
potency vitamins and minerals by reclassifying them as drugs, that
is no longer as foods.
HERE'S HOW THESE PROPOSALS WILL TERMINATE YOUR
FREEDOM...
If herbs, vitamins, botanicals and minerals are reclassified as
drugs, then the standards for producing and making these products
will be so ridiculously high that the only people who can afford to
make these products are the drug companies. -The result will be
monopolies in the natural remedy market by pharmaceuticals which
will inflate prices dramatically and lower the quality
substantially. -The Codex laws will become internationally binding
under the GATT treaty and the escape clause will be removed.
Companies like Hoechst, Bayer, BASF, Degussa, Fresnius,
Rhone-Poulenc, Sandoz, and Novo Nordisk who can only survive if
these changes are made have manipulated the Codex committee to
further the interests of the German pharmaceutical companies. -In
October, 1996 they were successful in jumping from step 3 to step 5
of the ratification process. -The Codex delegates meet again in 1998
at which point they will finalize the ratification process and jump
from step 5 to the step 8 which is the final step unless YOU do
something about it!!!.
A Veritable Dictatorship From the book 'Healing: An Illegal Practice
By Sylvie Simon
How is it possible to legally practise medicine, respect the
Hippocratic Oath and the rights of ill people, in the face of the
dictatorship of the Conseil de l’Ordre, in addition to that of the
pharmaceutical lobbies? This question, essential to the well-being
of each one of us, is at the heart of Sylvie Simon’s book. The
author, who has gathered statements from courageous doctors, gives
us access to the cogs of a machine that is controlled by the Conseil
de l’Ordre, a tribunal of exclusion. She reveals how this Ordre uses
and abuses its regal power in order to muzzle doctors who choose to
heal their patients solely according to their knowledge and their
conscience.
This book therefore, through the experiences of various
practitioners, helps us to understand the pain of those who give
their lives to curing the sick and who suddenly find themselves
forbidden to practise on the pretext that they dare question a
system that is on the whole riddled with the rot of medical and
economic authority.
The lights of natural medicine are being put out around the
world.
Dangers of
Modern Medicine: Iatrogenic Diseases
Guylaine Lanctot, M.D - "The Journal of the American
Medical Association recently reported that as many as 106,000 deaths
occur annually in US hospitals due to adverse reactions to
prescription drugs that are properly prescribed by physicians that
use them as directed by the drug companies. Even worse, the National
Council for Patient Information and Education reported that an
additional 125,000 deaths occur annually due to adverse reactions to
drugs that the physician never should have prescribed. The annual
death toll from synthetic prescription drugs, both from the
correctly prescribed and the incorrectly prescribed, amounts to
about 231,000 deaths every year. To put this into perspective, this
is the equivalent of a world trade center disaster every week for
over a year and a half or the crash of two fully loaded 747 aircraft
every day of the year." John Thomas
Nov. '99 - Recent articles in the prestigious Journal
of the American Medical Association acknowledge that adverse
reactions to doctor prescribed drugs and medical mistakes are the
third highest cause of deaths in America today. Accounting
Office report found that 51.5% of patent drugs approved by the FDA
between 1978 and 1986 had "serious post-approval risks" not
disclosed on originally-approved package inserts, including "heart
failure, myocardial infarction, anaphylaxis, respiratory depression,
convulsions, seizures, kidney and liver failure, severe blood
disorders, birth defects and blindness".
"The medical establishment works closely with the drug
multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst
nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be
sold. In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and
kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug
companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish
perks. The principal buyers are the public - from infants to the
elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any
cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because
they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money
with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural
remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine,
and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can
and cannot teach."

Politics in Healing: The Suppression and Manipulation of American
Medicine
by Daniel Haley
An ex-congressman from N.Y., Haley has written an historical
account of immense importance. Here are detailed the true stories
of ten physicians and their non-toxic cancer and other medical cures
that were smashed by a pharmaceutical -AMA - federal machine
which continues today. For anyone interested in the truth behind who
controls the FDAand other federal agencies this is a must
read. All health care professionals need to have a look at the
reality existing today in the manipulation of the health care system
as shown in these stories. POWERFUL!
Seven drugs approved since 1993 have been withdrawn after reports
of deaths and severe side effects. A two-year
Los
Angeles Times investigation has found that the FDA approved each
of those drugs while disregarding danger signs or blunt warnings
from its own specialists.
"Risk Was Known as FDA OKd Fatal Drug" At least one
senior manager believed that if an FDA medical officer who had
questioned the drug's safety and effectiveness didn't please the
company, he would be "out." The records also shed new light on the
state of knowledge within Warner-Lambert of Rezulin's potential
danger: Executives knew that patients who took the drug in clinical
studies had suffered life-threatening liver damage -- yet the
company assured an FDA panel that the risk was trivial.

Doctors Don't Tell You:: The Truth About The Dangers Of Modern
Medicine
Americans have become so accustomed to following doctors' orders
that many prescriptions, medical tests, and surgical procedures are
accepted without question. This blind faith can be dangerous! Modern
medicine offers us a wide range of powerful treatments for ailments
large and small. But did you know that some common "cures" come with
serious, life-threatening risks, or may do nothing at all? This book
contains much more vital information you need to know to take charge
of your health--before you see your doctor. Includes information on:
cholesterol-lowering medications; high-strength asthma inhalers;
steroids;
antibiotics; and
Ritalin.
Some startling facts you should know:
- Some cholesterol-lowering medications can actually increase
your chances of dying.
- The rise in asthma deaths may be linked to high-strength
inhalers.
- In some cases, it's safer to do nothing than have surgery
for prostate cancer.
- Steroids, now widely prescribed for many minor conditions,
can cause immediate, permanent, debilitating damage.
- Bone scans to screen for osteoporosis are imprecise, often
inaccurate, and may not signify anything.
- In the overwhelming majority of cases, antibiotics are
prescribed for conditions they cannot treat.
- Ritalin, taken by as many as a million American children,
has questionable benefits, numerous side effects, and a high
potential for addiction or abuse.
- The U.S. National Institutes of Health estimate that 90% of
patients who undergo bypass surgery receive almost no benefits.
- and much more vital information you need to know--before you
see your doctor.
Most Doctors Who Set Guidelines Have Industry Ties
"The vast majority of doctors involved in establishing national
guidelines on disease treatment have financial ties to the
pharmaceutical industry that could potentially sway their
recommendations and inappropriately influence thousands of other
physicians.Eighty-seven percent of guideline authors had some type
of relationship with drug companies." Dr. Mercola
"The medical industrial complex refers to the close-knit
association of organised medicine with pharmaceutical manufacturers
and governmental medical regulatory agencies. The connections
between these groups is of course, a web of money, power, and
prestige. Selling medical drugs is very big business. Medical
research is dependant on $ billions of grants from the National
Institutes of Health (N.I.H.) and the private pharmaceutical
industry. The two are closely interlocked; managers in one tend to
come from success in the other with many examples of interchangeable
personnel." "Licensed doctors are easy to control. All practising
U.S. physicians must accumulate a given number of hours of continual
medical education or C.M.E. But where does he acquire his C.M.E
credits? From authorised C.M.E. Seminars - that's where! And who
authorises which seminar for C.M.E. credits? Organised medicine,
That's who! And who sponsors and who provides the speakers for
C.M.E. credited seminars? The pharmaceutical industry and it's great
funded corps of academic researchers, that's who!U.S. physicians are
captive audience for pharmaceutical advertising. This applies to
other countries as well. They learn which drugs to prescribe. They
do not learn of alternative procedures and perhaps better ways of
caring for their ill patients."

practicing medical terrorism by shamelessly over-prescribing drugs
to people of all ages, often for phantom diseases and for purposes
that have no rational basis in science. What’s needed is something
akin to a War Crimes Tribunal to investigate psychiatry’s
relationship to major pharmaceutical companies. Haul all the big 
product
champions and psychiatry associations in and determine their
involvement with money-grubbing schemes and the abuse of patients.
And let me re-emphasize this point: this is a medical specialty that
is second to none in ripping off and abusing patients. The situation

EDUCATE - NOT
MEDICATE - AND FREE THE RADICLE WITHIN
by doctor Keki Sidhwa
"The medical industrial complex refers to the close-knit
association of organised medicine with pharmaceutical manufacturers
and governmental medical regulatory agencies. The connections
between these groups is of course, a web of money, power, and
prestige. Selling medical drugs is very big business. Medical
research is dependant on $ billions of grants from the National
Institutes of Health (N.I.H.) and the private pharmaceutical
industry. The two are closely interlocked; managers in one tend to
come from success in the other with many examples of interchangeable
personnel." "Licensed doctors are easy to control. All practising
U.S. physicians must accumulate a given number of hours of continual
medical education or C.M.E. But where does he acquire his C.M.E
credits? From authorised C.M.E. Seminars - that's where! And who
authorises which seminar for C.M.E. credits? Organised medicine,
That's who! And who sponsors and who provides the speakers for C.M.E.
credited seminars? The pharmaceutical industry and it's great funded
corps of academic researchers, that's who!U.S. physicians are
captive audience for pharmaceutical advertising. This applies to
other countries as well. They learn which drugs to prescribe. They
do not learn of alternative procedures and perhaps better ways of
caring for their ill patients."
Alternative Healing Looses Ground in Germany and Canada
Canada's Health Protection Branch has reclassified many herbs as
drugs because they have a "pharmacological effect." Sixty-seven
herbs are now considered drugs, including ginkgo, feverfew, gotu
kola, kava, pau d'arco, psyllium seed,
tea tree oil, and hawthorn.
From the Editor of Gary Null's site:
"Being reclassified as drugs, I
assume that Canada's law will now require a doctor's prescription
for many herbs, something that should make doctors and pharmacies
happier and wealthier. Unfortunately, it also takes away people's
right to control their own health. One wonders if people will be
arrested for growing these herbs, or picking them in the wild.
Freeze! Put up your hands and drop that comfrey!"

Anti-food defamation laws a new threat to free speech in the USA
By Ronnie Cummings
USA Coordinator of the Pure Food Campaign 1-800-451-7670
"Something stinks. And it's not just left-over junk food or
bacteria and feces-contaminated meat from filthy slaughterhouses and
hog and poultry factories. It's not just the scent of chemical
pesticides on non-organic fruits and vegetables. It's not just the
pus, antibiotics, and growth hormones souring the public attitude
toward rBGH
dairy products and other unlabeled, untested
genetically
engineered foods. It's more than this. It's in the tap water,
the topsoil, the air. In the alarming statistics on increasing
cancer, food poisoning, chemical hyper-sensitivity, antibiotic
resistance, allergies, sterility, and immune disorders. No wonder
80% of the public in a recent poll ranked "food safety" as a "very
important" issue. But now perhaps the most putrid smell of all seems
to be wafting out of the halls and backrooms of Congress, where a
bipartisan effort is underway to weaken already inadequate food
safety laws.
Further smells emanate from state capitals in South Dakota,
Alabama, Georgia, Florida, Idaho, Texas, Arizona, Oklahoma,
Mississippi, Colorado, and Louisiana--and perhaps soon other
states--where indentured legislators are busy passing so-called
"food disparagement" laws designed by ag-chemical- biotech industry
lobbyists. Laws intended to curtail your right to free speech. To
make it illegal to hand out a leaflet like this one, or to dump
"suspect" rBGH milk where it belongs--in the gutter.
Instead of giving us what we want: affordable, healthy, natural,
clean food--safety-tested and clearly labeled to enable consumers to
exercise free choice--the powers that be seem intent upon taking
away our right to know what's been done to our food and instead
delivering another message: Let them eat hormones, feces, chemicals,
dioxin, antibiotics... Government and corporation hacks use
so-called "risk assessment" and "cost accounting" to tell us it's
"too expensive" to clean-up food industry practices, even as the
Centers for Disease Control admit that 20 to 80 million people a
year get food poisoning; and published data indicate that
environmental and food-related cancer rates are steadily
increasing."
Seven drugs approved since 1993 have been withdrawn after reports
of deaths and severe side effects. A two-year
Los
Angeles Times investigation has found that the FDA approved each
of those drugs while disregarding danger signs or blunt warnings
from its own specialists.
THE
POLITICS OF CANCER REVISTED by Samuel S. Epstein
"The National Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society
have misled and confused the public and Congress by repeated false
claims that we are winning the war against cancer -- claims made to
create public and Congressional support for massive increases in
budgetary appropriations." Dr. Epstein
For the first time, the American public will find out the truth
behind the much-acclaimed "War Against Cancer" in a thoroughly
documented expose of the policies and priorities of the cancer
establishment -- the National Cancer Institute (NCI) and the
American Cancer Society (ACS). "THE POLITICS OF CANCER
Revisited"challenges misleading claims that we have "turned the tide
against cancer" and shows how the establishment is largely
responsible for losing the winnable war against cancer. With equal
accuracy and vigor, the book provides vital information -- long
ignored or trivialized by the cancer establishment -- on a wide
range of avoidable causes of cancer and on how readers and their
families can protect themselves against cancer. The book is
available at
Amazon.com
"A unique and superbly documented indictment of the National
Cancer Institute and the American Cancer Society for their reckless
indifference to cancer prevention, for their incestuous relationship
with the cancer drug industry, and for their false claims for
miracle cancer drugs and for winning the war against cancer. This is
essential reading for every concerned woman and man on how to
reverse the cancer epidemic by personal and political initiatives."

author, "The Doctors' Case Against the Pill"

"Risk
Was Known as FDA OKd Fatal Drug" At least one senior manager
believed that if an FDA medical officer who had questioned the
drug's safety and effectiveness didn't please the company, he would
be "out." The records also shed new light on the state of knowledge
within Warner-Lambert of Rezulin's potential danger: Executives knew
that patients who took the drug in clinical studies had suffered
life-threatening liver damage -- yet the company assured an FDA
panel that the risk was trivial.

Racketeering in Medicine:The Suppression of Alternatives
James Carter
"I have been reading various books on alternaitve medicine for
years, and this one sticks out as one of the top five in my library
about how the AMA, FDA and pharmaceutical industry has for years
tried to discredit alternative,less expensive, less invasive and
often times more effective modalities of treatment.James Carter does
not just sensationalize but documents quite clearly the evidence
behind his assertion. He clearly shows that the governing bodies of
modern general or "accepted" medicine have a vested interest in
supressing these treatments and making sure that most average folks
never know about them."
Confessions of a Medical Heretic by Robert S. Mendelsohn
"For anyone who has doubts about the benevolence of the AMA,
pharmaceutical companies and the allied health industries or has
suffered from drug interactions, side effects, long-term effects,
misadiagnoses, botched treatments, apathy or arrogance on the part
of medical providers, this book is MUST reading. This is one of the
first mainstream books to address these issues and to suggest
alternative treatments."

THE POLITICS OF CANCER - CANCER IS BIG
BUSINESS!
Racketeering in Medicine:
The Suppression of Alternatives - Cancer Industry and their cover-up
of natural therapies
Royal
R. Rife's 'genius' was first publicly described in the San Diego
Union in 1929 and followed by an article in the national
magazine, Popular Science, in 1931. Articles describing Rife's great
scientific breakthrough appeared in the all-important scientific
press for the first time in late 1931 in Science magazine as well as
California and Western Medicine (the medical association's
publication). Since the 30's there have been many books, articles
and newspapers published concerning Rife's Research on Cancer and
other diseases. Most of his lab notes have long been forgotten
about, destroyed or kept under lock and key by a few individuals for
their own selfish reasons and are unwilling to share them with the
world.
Since the publication of
Royal Raymond Rife - Corrections and Perspective by By Barry L.
Lynes nine years ago a number of officials in the FDA, the National
Cancer Institute, the U.S. Justice Department, the former Office of
Technology Assessment (OTA) of the United States Congress, the
Office of Alternative Medicine (OAM) at the National Institutes of
Health, the Department of Defense's Breast Cancer Research Program,
the White House, and various members of the mainstream media have
known about, ignored or purposely put out disinformation regarding
the accomplishments and cancer-healing potential of Royal R. Rife's
genius.
"Why the governmental silence and in some noteworthy cases the
conscious distortion of facts despite overwhelming evidence and
factual documentation? I presume the simple answer is...their
careers. Or their fear of rocking the boat. Or their caution
concerning anything which might annoy the powerful medical
interests. Or simple bureaucratic inertia. Or the terrible dilemma
of unleashing millions of angry American citizens who lost loved
ones to cancer because the ruling class of elite cancer scientists
and cancer doctors put status, money and power ahead of innocent
lives, their Hippocratic oaths, and the public interest. The number
of cancer victims is huge and thus the factual truth of Rife's
suppression involves one of the greatest criminal acts of the 20th
century."

The
Cancer Industry : The Classic Expose on the Cancer Establishmentby
Ralph W. Moss.
This gripping and controversial classic exposes the political and
economic forces inside the cancer establishment. Despite the new
climate of openness (which this book had its part in creating) the
political economy of modern medicine still remains operative. The
Cancer Industry is about how this lust for money and power (by
institutions and individuals) has corrupted medical science, and
specifically how the search for an effective approach to cancer has
been stymied by an overemphasis on highly profitable (and
patentable) treatments. A visit to the American Society for Clinical
Oncology (ASCO) convention reveals a huge and powerful industry, far
beyond my wildest imaginings of 1980. Thus, I would say that in many
ways the book is more relevant than ever.
THE
MEDICAL MAFIA: How To Get Out of It Alive and Take Back Our Health
and Wealth
by Guylaine Lanctot, M.D.
The medical establishment works closely with the drug
multinationals whose main objective is profits, and whose worst
nightmare would be an epidemic of good health. Lots of drugs MUST be
sold. In order to achieve this, anything goes: lies, fraud, and
kickbacks. Doctors are the principal salespeople of the drug
companies. They are rewarded with research grants, gifts, and lavish
perks. The principal buyers are the public - from infants to the
elderly - who MUST be thoroughly medicated and vaccinated...at any
cost! Why do the authorities forbid alternative medicine? Because
they are serving the industry, and the industry cannot make money
with herbs, vitamins, and homeopathy. They cannot patent natural
remedies. That is why they push synthetics. They control medicine,
and that is why they are able to tell medical schools what they can
and cannot teach. They have their own sets of laws, and they force
people into them. That is a mafia. This sensational expose' also
uncovers the truth behind vaccines, AIDS, cancer, the World Health
Organization, the Rockefeller Foundation, the World Bank, and more.

Cancer Therapy : The Independent Consumer's Guide to Non-Toxic
Treatment and Prevention by Ralph W. Moss
Moss points out that the major components of the cancer
establishment are the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the American
Cancer Society (ACS), grantees at major universities, the leading
pharmaceutical houses, and the FDA (Federal Drug Administration)
"...which regulates the marketplace on behalf of the very industries
it is supposed to oversee." Non-toxic cures, on the other hand, are
called "questionable, unproven and unscientific" (i.e. unprofitable
to the Cancer Industry). Only orthodox cancer treatments - surgery,
radiation and chemotherapy -(cutting, burning and poisoning) are
"scientific" and presumably not to be questioned. But there is hope.
With the formation of the Office of Alernative Medicine (OAM) in
1992, there are now centers of alternative medicine at the medical
schools of Harvard, Stanford and Columbia, and a special center to
study such treatment has been established at the University of
Texas. An amazon reviewer

The founder of IAHF, John Hammell, has been fighting
professionally for health freedom for 10 years, and first got
involved with alternative medicine after recovering from a life
threatening illness in 1980 via a suppressed alternative treatment
mode (orthomolecular medicine) after mainstream methods almost
killed him. His personal belief is that herbs and other dietary
supplements are gifts to us all from our Creator. As such, he
believes it to be highly immoral for anyone to try to restrict their
availability or to do anything which would hamper consumer access.

What
Every Parent Should Know BEFORE Their Childen Are Vaccinated!
Why are a growing number of parents and health care
professionals around the world questioning vaccination? The
controversy stems from the thousands of deaths and permanent
disabilities attributed to vaccination annually, as well as the many
published medical studies, government statistics, congressional
testimonies, and other credible sources that directly contradict
commonly held assumptions about vaccine safety and effectiveness.
More pictures of vaccine damage available to view at the
CDC website
"Bart Classen, a Maryland physician, published data showing that
diabetes rates rose significantly in New Zealand following a massive
hepatitis B vaccine campaign in young children, and that diabetes
rates also went up sharply in Finland after three new childhood
vaccines were introduced."
Nicholas Regush ABCNEWS.com
In fall 1997, two influential professional magazines featured
articles asking the question: Has the decrease of infectious
diseases in childhood through the mass use of vaccines been replaced
with an increase in chronic diseases such as diabetes and asthma?
The Economist, a prestigious international magazine read by world
leaders in government, business and public policy, and Science News,
a magazine read by both health care professionals and the general
public, explored the reported links between vaccines and chronic
diseases in their November 22, 1997 issues.

Congressman is calling for criminal penalties for any

Congressman Dan Burton (R-Indiana) during Congressional
Hearing: "You mean to tell me that since 1929, we've been using
Thimerosal, and the only test that you know of is from 1929, and
every one of those people had mennigitis, and they all died?" For
nearly an hour, Burton repeatedly asked FDA and CDC officials what
they knew and when they knew it. (Thimerosal contains a related
mercury compound called ethyl mercury. Mercury is a toxic metal that
can cause immune, sensory, neurological, motor, and behavioral
dysfunctions.)

HOW TO STOP
FDA CENSORSHIP NOW!
In the eighties and nineties, millions of us sent millions of
messages to our elected officials in Washington, urging them to
pass the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994. We
made it abundantly clear we wanted to stop the FDA from conducting
gunpoint raids on doctors’ offices and seizing millions of dollars
worth of supplement products. The FDA made it vividly clear that it
intended to remove such products from the market because they
represented competition to synthetic drugs. Congress got the message
and passed DSHEA unanimously.
