Canadians for Health Freedom.
http://canadiansforhealthfreedom.wordpress.com/
For Canadians this is a must site. It will keep you abreast of what is happening through efforts by our present government to limit the rights of freedom of choice with regards to health care. The reporting about bill C6 is clear as to how dangerous the bill is to all Canadians. They also are doing excellent reporting on the EU probe into the Pandemic of last year and the allegations that it was rigged. The information is startling.
Homeopathy Heals
http://www.homeopathyheals.me.uk/site/
This site is following the pharmaceutical? Natural Health care fight in Britain where vasts amounts of money are going to groups to fight Homeopathy and the health care system that allows other kinds of healing to be officially recognized and paid for inside the system. It contains as well many fine articles about Homeopathy, including understanding how it works and its great successful history.

Homeopathic use world wide.
I just got this article from HPathy which is the largest Homeopathic magazine in the world. I am surprised how well Homeopathy is doing in the world at present. What is most encouraging is the Pharmaceutical schools and some Medical schools are beginning to teach it and many doctors are embracing it in their practices. Read on

It might be useful for you to know the extent to which homoeopathic medicines are used around the world. Globally, homoeopathy is an extremely popular modality and to reflect this, in 1999 the World Health Organisation (WHO) called for closer incorporation of homoeopathy into “western medical systems”1 and a ranking of the world’s top healing systems (including pharmaceutical drug therapy) carried out in 2003 had homoeopathy second only in popularity to Traditional Chinese Medicine2.
In Germany, 20% of medical practitioners prescribe homoeopathic medicines for their patients 3, 4, 5 and they’re used by 90% of German veterinarians6. It’s interesting that given the fact that homeopathy was originally developed by Dr Samuel Hahnemann in Germany, there isn’t a higher level of use by medical practitioners.
In the UK a study carried out in 1994 found that 10 out of the 16 university pharmacy schools taught homoeopathy as an undergraduate subject and in 1999, 66% of pharmacies sold homoeopathic medicines7, 8, 9 with some particular pharmacy groups such as Boots producing their own range of homoeopathic medicines10 . Still in the UK, there are 5 homoeopathic hospitals run by the British National Health Service (NHS), as well as 2 private homoeopathic hospitals and homoeopathy has been supported by the NHS since it’s inception in 194811, 12. A 1992 study found that 42% of British doctors refer their patients for homoeopathic treatment13 . By 2001 20% of Scottish GPs had been trained in homoeopathy 14 and by 2003, 86% of Scottish GPs surveyed were found to be in favour of homoeopathy 15 . Currently, homoeopathy is the second most popular complementary medicine in the UK 16, 17.
The situation in France is also interesting. Most French pharmacies carry these products18, 19 and in 1999 the French Medical Association called for homeopathy to be included in all medical degree training20. A 1998 study concluded that people using prescribed homoeopathic medicine cost the French government half of that for patients who used pharmaceutical treatments21, 22 .
Around the rest of Europe, 45% of doctors in the Netherlands use homoeopathy (40% of GPs in the Netherlands use homoeopathy23, 85% of Belgian medical practitioners provide homoeopathic treatment for their patients24, 25, 47% of Dutch doctors use homoeopathy26 and in the 10 years to 2002, interest in homoeopathy in Switzerland had risen by 300%27 and homoeopathy is rebatable by most health insurance providers27. In 1997, 37% of Norwegians who were surveyed had visited a homoeopath 28 and homoeopathy is the most frequently used system of veterinary medicine in Norway29.
In Europe generally, a 2003 survey found that 20-25% of all Europeans used homoeopathic medicines30, 31 and homoeopathy was the most frequently used complementary medicine in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Norway, Italy and Switzerland32. In 1999 The European Parliament called for homoeopathy to be integrated into medical practice33 and the EU recommended that homoeopathy and herbs be used as first line treatments in veterinary medicine34
Pakistan appears to have a high level of interest in homoeopathy. Last year, the Pakistani Government established homoeopathic dispensaries in Pakistani hospitals35 and there are 165 government recognised homoeopathic medicine colleges operating throughout the country36. For the last few years the Pakistan government has set up homoeopathic medicine camps to treat the pilgrims who travel on the Haj to Mecca. Last year, 50,000 people were treated in these camps37. In India, 54% of medical practitioners prescribe homoeopathic medicines38 .They are widely used in Indian hospitals and homoeopathy is the most commonly used complementary medicine in this country39, 40, 41.
In 2003 in Sri Lanka, construction began on a government-funded homoeopathic hospital at Welisara42 and Columbian President, Alvaro Uribe, uses homoeopathic medicines to “stay in mental shape”43. It’s estimated that there are 15,000 homoeopathic doctors practising in Brazil44 and it’s a government requirement that homoeopathy is taught as an undergraduate subject in all pharmacy courses at Brazilian universities45. In the USA, 58% of US medical schools teach homoeopathy46. In Australia, the level of use of these medicines is a little difficult to determine. One relatively recent study said that around 12% of Australians use homoeopathic medicines but this figure has yet to be verified47. However, 78% of pharmacies here carry products made from homoeopathic ingredients and many of the larger pharmacy groups recommend these products as a core range, i.e. it’s mandatory for anyone setting up one of these stores to have them on their shelves 48. In New Zealand49 and South Africa50, homoeopathy forms part of the undergraduate program in pharmacy courses in some universities.

Words of Lincolm worth thinking about
I am lucky to read this and think about it for it gives me resolve in what I am doing with my life. In reading these passages it also brought to mind how far below his dreams we have become. Stopping to think what we have become as people and how we are being led is truely sad for it seems we have lost our way and have all our priorities wrong. Read on and make up your own mind.
Below this article is a URL that will lead you to a startling history of Homeopathy, Lincoln and the criminal acts to mankind the newly formed AMA as they witch hunted the successful Homeopaths as they do today.
In the end I know why I am militant. The world is being cheated; its health and its wealth in the biggest scam in history modern medicine as a first defense to treat people. This is not to say medicine does not have a place in our health treatment but its place is not as arbiter of our fate.
Lincoln The Great Communicator
By Steve Hayes, Novus Medical Detox Center Director
Abraham Lincoln was born on February 12, 1809, in Kentucky in a one room log cabin. From an early age he did manual labor and was only in school for a brief time. His education came from reading the few books he could find. He became a successful lawyer but attracted the attention of the nation when he became one of the chief members of the new Republican Party.
In 1860, Lincoln won the election for the presidency--even though he was not even on the ballot in a number of states in the South that promptly seceded after Lincoln's election. Lincoln wanted to save the Union and bring the southern states back. The resulting civil war was both bloody and very unpopular. He hated slavery, but many in the North were opposed to fighting to free the slaves and only wanted to make the southern states return to the Union. Lincoln saw his job as protecting the Union and was willing to allow slavery to continue--if he had do it. Criticized by people perhaps more than any president in our history, Lincoln persisted.
However, it was not through the power of his army but the ability of his words to communicate, not with the fears of the people but with their hopes and dreams, that not only saved the Union but also freed the slaves. Lincoln's success is also a reminder to all of us that it is not luck or the accident of birth that determines success, but the content of a person's character and ability to persist until a goal is reached. More has been written about Lincoln than any other American. We wanted to share with you some of wisdom of this self-taught man.
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business. I do the very best I know how - the very best I can; and I mean to keep doing so until the end. If the end brings me out all right, what's said against me won't amount to anything. If the end brings me out wrong, ten angels swearing I was right would make no difference.
As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.
With malice toward none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right as God gives us to see the right, let us strive on to finish the work we are in; to bind up the nation's wounds; to care for him who shall have borne the battle, and for his widow and his orphan - to do all which may achieve and cherish a just and lasting peace, among ourselves, and with all nations.
Whenever I hear any one arguing for slavery I feel a strong impulse to see it tried on him personally.
The probability that we may fall in the struggle ought not to deter us from the support of a cause we believe to be just; it shall not deter me.
I have been shown in the files of the War Department a statement of the Adjutant General of Massachusetts, that you are the mother of five sons who have died gloriously on the field of battle. I feel how weak and fruitless must be any words of mine which should attempt to beguile you from the grief of a loss so overwhelming. But I cannot refrain from tendering to you the consolation that may be found in the thanks of the Republic they died to save. I pray that our Heavenly Father may assuage the anguish of your bereavement, and leave you only the cherished memory of the loved and lost, and the solemn pride that must be yours, to have laid so costly a sacrifice upon the altar of Freedom.
I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed, but I am bound to live by the light that I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.
The best way to get a bad law repealed is to enforce it strictly.
Things may come to those who wait...but only the things left by those who hustle.
If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will.
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men.
Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.
I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.
Lincoln and Homeopathy What happened.

If you look for the bad in people expecting to find it, you surely will.
To stand in silence when they should be protesting makes cowards out of men.
Most folks are about as happy as they make their minds up to be.
I walk slowly, but I never walk backward.
I destroy my enemies when I make them my friends.
I know not how to aid you, save in the assurance of one of mature age, and much severe experience, that you can not fail, if you resolutely determine, that you will not.
I believe it is an established maxim in morals that he who makes an assertion without knowing whether it is true or false, is guilty of falsehood; and the accidental truth of the assertion, does not justify or excuse him.
Lincoln and Homeopathy What happened.

The 4th World War-The Corporations versus Mankind
This morning I read in the New York TImes and it is news everywhere that the Supreme Court of the United States has overturned the law restricting Corporation spending: that the government may not ban political spending by corporations in candidate elections. Citing the First Amendment as support for this action it places a corporation in the same category as an individual. America the bastion of freedom and equality has lost a major battle for now Corporations is equated with an individual and can freely wield its money to the side that supports them.
It is a terrible loss for now what has been going on behind our backs but with at least some recourse in law will be openly done with no recourse. This, in the clear evidence that Corporations are not people but businesses with the sole first purpose of earning profit for its owners. How many cases against Corporations are in the courts that are challenging the destruction of the world we live in and the people who live in it?
Starting with the Banks and its rape of ordinary citizens, the Chemical companies that are destroying the earth , the Pharmaceutical that are poisoning the people of the earth, we and the earth are at war to survive. It is not global warming or cooling that is the enemy of our survival but Greed. This began centuries ago, since man has been able to write history we know this, and it is now coming to fruition. Like all religions we are being eaten from inside by Greed for both wealth and power over man.
Greed causes destruction and is firmly set throgh the porfit motive in the Corporation and the Executives who run them; innocent patsies beholden to pieces of paper that they willingly obey: Poisoning the world, themselves and their own children's minds and bodies to satisfy the Corporate weal. The war is in full swing around the world.
We, each and every one of us are the enemy of the corporation and we are being chopped down to manageable no different than the forest in Brazil by unbridled Greed. We are brainwashed to accept our fate as what must be.
We are losing the war right now for even though there are pockets of resistance we are yet to take our destinies back from our enemy the Corporation with its unending money to have its bidding done. So far the Corporation has won every battle by every group to bring sanity back to our lives. The Corporation is amoral and in that it is immoral. It does not judge itself except by its monitary growth and all others measures are of no real interest save to support their prime directive.
It is not enough for individuals to rail, for small groups to rail or even for governments to rail unless we all rail together and deny the Corporation its current place of power by taking away its profits. Margaret Mead said, "Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful people can change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has."
We have a small group and it is called Mankind and we have a way of talking to each other and joining forces to battle and that is the Internet. We have to be openly subversive until as a mass we crush our enemy. It is a final passive resistance that is the only way to win.
We have to put down our own personal greed and turn a deaf ear to the brainwashing of the Corporations. We have to put down our fears and embrace modesty as a proper way of being and know that sharing will bring us back to family, friends and community. In respecting all we respect ourselves.
Do we have the strength left to fight this final battle? We cannot know unless we gird our loins and take up the cry. The world is one and devided we die.
The Swine Flu vaccine is perhaps the first time people have wond a battle. We have seen massive scare tactics by the Governments, WHO and the Pharmas FAIL because we refused the brainwashing. Many countries, no matter how the "Pandemic" was hyped, found its citizens and its own medical fraternity opting out of what was a planned media campaign. Nature itself was our ally.
We have a chance if we all come together. We can win the 4th World War.
Act Modest, think Bold, do your part help the world come together.

Big Pharma and Oxycontin abuse
From an article by Steve Hayes of Novus Medical Detox Centre in Florida http://www.novusdetox.com/faq.php
They do wonderful work with addicts of all sorts and press the government whenever possible to get dangerous drugs off the market---
We know this about Big Pharma:
* They have a philosophy that they make very clear-"if you want to receive our money then you better not do anything that interferes with our making money".
* They spend millions of dollars a year trying to ensure that their legislative agenda is protected.
* In this year alone, lobbying records show that they have contributed over $7.5 million to Members of Congress.
* They don't care how many are killed or injured as long as they make profits.
HOW OXYCONTIN IS ABUSED
OxyContin is oxycodone, legal heroin, that is coated and, if swallowed whole, will release the oxycodone over a six to ten hour period. However, if it is chewed or crushed, then all of the oxycodone is immediately available.
Many of our patients who come to Novus Medical Detox Center to withdraw from heroin started their path to addiction by taking OxyContin and switched to heroin because it was cheaper and the same type of high.
WHAT YOU EXPECT FROM A CRIMINAL COMPANY
Since OxyContin's release, Purdue has known:
* OxyContin could easily be converted to oxycodone.
* OxyContin was being abused and was causing addictions and deaths.
* OxyContin was largely responsible for creating a new opium epidemic.
* OxyContin being abused just meant more OxyContin sales.
* OxyContin sales, even if to addicts, just meant more profits.
LATEST OXYCONTIN SCAM FROM PURDUE PHARMA
Purdue is surprised, but people are actually starting to get upset about the abuse of OxyContin. Purdue has proposed to the FDA a new formulation that they say is not as easy to abuse.
Typical of Purdue, they "neglected" to see what would happen if you simply put their new OxyContin on a cookie sheet and baked it in the oven for a time. Would it become easily abused oxycodone?
When confronted at the FDA hearing with this allegation by Larry Golbom of Prescription Addiction Radio, Purdue was forced to notify the FDA that they had "forgotten" to test this way of defeating their new formulation.
CONGRESSWOMAN MARY BONO MACK
In 1998, Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack was first elected to serve the people of California's 45th District through a special election held to fill the seat left vacant by her late husband, Congressman Sonny Bono. Congresswoman Mary Bono Mack is now married to U.S. Congressman Connie Mack.
ACT OF COURAGE
Congresswoman Bono Mack has seen the growing problem of prescription drug abuse and addiction among Americans young and old and has been vitally interested in how she can help. She signed the Ban OxyContin petition.
