"Dear Health Freedom-Involved Persons and Leaders:
"The Natural Solutions Foundation is writing this letter offering you a unique and important opportunity to bring Health Freedom into the well-deserved limelight of national and international attention. We have a unique and narrow window of opportunity, from January 5 - January 15, 2009 provided to us by the clever and innovative use of the internet by www.Change.org.
"During that time, visitors to the site will be able to determine which of the ideas presented are important to them and vote for those ideas. The top ten ideas will be presented to President Obama on Inauguration Day (and announced at the National Press Club). When we found out about it, the Natural Solutions Foundation instantly asked all of our many supporters and friends to jump on the opportunity. Perhaps you saw our email about this vote. Between the evening of December 30 and close of voting December 31, 2008, we were able to catapult Health Freedom from 98th place to 3rd place, qualifying Health Freedom for the second, and final, round of voting.
"Three organizations were mentioned on that page. To my knowledge, only ours brought attention and focus on the issue but the first stage victory we won is not ours: it belongs to Health Freedom. Despite the rather astonishing fact that there were people among those receiving our information who actually chose to use the opportunity to attempt to siphon off votes from the rapidly increasing total of the page that we were championing, we are hopeful that the long history of fruitless and destructive feuding and competition between members of the Health Freedom community will come to an end with this outstanding opportunity and we can all agree on one thing: that Health Freedom MUST come in as idea number 1 since Health Freedom IS Our First Freedom. All other freedoms derive from it. If we are not the owners of our bodies, then we cannot consider ourselves free men and women, nor the legitimate custodians and guardians of our children.
"During this round of voting, no additional pages can be added so either you and your organization are, literally, "With Health Freedom or you are lost in outer space". We have talents and skills in this group that are tragically diluted and inactivated when attacks and warfare deflect us from what must be our goal - our only goal: establishment of real Health Freedom in the US and elsewhere. Is there really any other goal for groups and individuals that present themselves as Health Freedom advocates? If there is, are they really Health Freedom advocates?
"So the Trustees of the Natural Solutions Foundation urge you to join us in propagating this opportunity as widely as you can, putting any imagined or real differences between us aside at this historic moment. Flagellating those differences has never served Health Freedom well. We do not need to behave hostilely toward one another. The other side is quite happy when that takes place: why anyone in the Health Freedom Movement would want to give "aid and comfort" to the enemy is beyond me. There are few of us and many of them. We are lightly funded while they have more resources than we can imagine. Please ask your lists, your friends, your groups, your contacts, your associates and everyone else you can think of, to:
"1. Visit www.change.org/ideas/view/health_freedom and vote for Health Freedom by clicking on the box in the upper left hand side of the page that says "Vote". Please let them know that leaving a comment or trying to set up another page is NOT a vote for Health Freedom. ONLY clicking on the box counts as a vote for Health Freedom.
"2. Visit www.care.com and sign in if already registered, or sign up for an account if not. Then ask them to go to http://www.care2.com/c2c/share/detail/1005813 so that they can leave a comment. When enough people have done that, we can have the information sent to the entire network of 10 million care2 members, asking them to vote, too.
"3. Let me know when you would like to hold an electronic Leadership Meeting to move forward finally as a united movement so that we can accomplish our goal: the institution of choice for everyone on the planet about what happens to their bodies in sickness and in health.
"Yours in health and freedom,
Maj. Gen. Albert N. Stubblebine III (US Army, Ret.)
President

President-elect Obama: Change for Healthcare Freedom of Choice?
It is truly an historic moment, with the election of a candidate for president of the United States who identifies himself as a member of a minority ethnic group. One therefore hopes that president-elect Obama will be open to hearing dissenting and alternative opinions about issues such as healthcare freedom of choice. Surely, an administration built on the idea of "change" should be willing to listen to advocates of change.
We are, however, concerned that candidate Obama offered very little about issues that are of concern to health freedom advocates. The campaign chose not to respond to the Health Freedom Presidential Candidate Questionnaire -- although several of the Principled Third Party candidates did so; you can see their generally pro-health freedom responses at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=1303
We could not find any major media mention of vaccine mandates directly by the winning candidate, but in September, when Sen. Obama and the New Jersey governor passed a demonstration of pro-health freedom parents, some of whom were attending a fund raiser in an upscale community with the politicians, there was a report from the fundraiser,
"I'm afraid Barack Obama was asked by someone at the fundraiser if he supported the parent's right to choose to vaccinate, and he said he did not!"
The governor, however acknowledged,
"We get more e-mails and letters on this than any other issue other than tolls."
http://www.ageofautism.com/2008/09/obama-and-corzi.html
On another touchstone issue for health freedom advocates, Genetically Modified products foisted on the public without truthful labeling, the new President may not take an entirely pro-industry position. In a pre-election report we learn,
"[Obama b]elieves GM plants are beneficial with tests for environmental and health effects and regulatory oversight."
The requirement for testing, while falling short of truthful labeling, would be a change from current policy which "deems" GM products safe without third party testing.
On issues such as international harmonization, the "new world order" advisers surrounding the president-elect suggest that it may be difficult to focus any attention by the new administration on this important issue. We can expect the US Codex delegation to continue to have a free hand in supporting the international agenda of the "bigs" - Big Finance, Big Agra, Big Pharma, et al. Codex Alimentarius (the world food code) must continue to be a focus of the movement.
And finally, last year, when we were in Washington several times to help educate Congress about health freedom, we were not able to discuss with Sen. Obama's staff the important issue of divesting the FDA of its food authority, so that food (including dietary supplement) regulation would not remain the neglected step-child of the FDA's focus on supporting Big Pharma. However, discussions with other left/liberal legislative aids at that time, including people who will be allies of the president-elect in Congress, suggests a basis for pursuing the divestment issue.
Divesting the FDA may therefore be one health freedom issue that will have some "play" in the new Congress. What will be necessary, of course, will be for several Democratic members of Congress to be willing to co-sponsor a divestment bill. And for hundreds of thousands of Health Freedom Mouse Warriors to demand an end to FDA abuse of power.
The prospects for healthcare freedom of choice are mixed in the coming period.
Advocates of health freedom will need to redouble their efforts, especially to protect our children from vaccine mandates and to prevent ever more HARMonization of our health freedoms with international restrictions.
Divesting the FDA of its misused food authority appears to be a policy for which we may have some hope for real change...

The State of Health Freedom in this Election Year
Also posted at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/?p=730
Natural Solutions - Your Health, Your Choice
Introduction
Many Americans are concerned by continuing government threats to their Health Freedom and their right to choose what they eat and what therapies, treatments or prevention they choose for their health concerns. They understand that recent moves by international agencies, like the World Food Code (Codex Alimentarius), the North American Union, the Security and Prosperity Partnership (SPP), aided and abetted by the US government through the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are immediate threats to their right to buy the nutrients they want or to patronize the advanced, alternative and complementary healthcare providers they choose for the health options in which they personally believe.* [Natural Solution Foundation offers education and information about natural solutions to social and policy issues; it does not support specific candidates nor lobby.]
Part of the educational mission of the Foundation is to show that government intervention in our health care choices leads to bad health care decisions and to propose protection of personal Freedom as the better choice. The solutions to threats to our health and freedom are natural solutions.
Preserving Health Freedom
Many patriotic Americans have been in the forefront of preserving and defending Health Freedom. Congressman Dr. Ron Paul, for example, called the FDA draft CAM Guidance “…an abuse of FDA power…” He opposed increasing the FDA’s legal powers when he voted against HR 2900 because he knows the FDA has consistently failed to protect the public from dangerous drugs, a leading killer of Americans even when properly used. FDA’s policies waste taxpayers money while attacking foods and dietary supplements that US law says should be considered safe and which have no credible deaths associated with them!
We agree with Dr. Paul’s Health Freedom Protection Act, HR 2117 which assures Americans that they can receive truthful health information about supplements and natural remedies. The FDA wants to eliminate the rights of Americans to have that information. Libertarians like Dr. Paul have been fighting for American health freedoms for decades. In 1994 Millions of Americans joined Dr. Paul and forced an unwilling Congress to unanimously pass DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act), a law which said supplements, because they are foods, should be generally regarded as safe and which led to a great increase in the availability of high quality and high potency supplements and remedies.
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) – a failed agency
Today the Big Pharma funded and controlled FDA is working diligently to curtail information and access to herbs and supplements, and to suppress safe, effective alternatives for deadly, debilitating and dangerous diseases. It has failed to protect our food supply and continues to degrade our access to good nutrition and natural dietary supplements.
A recent study of the FDA concludes:
1) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific base has eroded and its scientific organizational structure is weak.
2) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific workforce does not have sufficient capacity and capability.
3) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its information technology (IT) infrastructure is inadequate.
4) FDA does not have the capacity to ensure the safety of food for the nation.
5) The development of medical products based on “new science” cannot be adequately regulated by the FDA.
6) There is insufficient capacity in modeling risk assessment and analysis.
7) The FDA science agenda lacks a coherent structure and vision, as well as effective coordination and prioritization.
8) The FDA has substantial recruitment and retention challenges.
9) The FDA has an inadequate and ineffective program for scientist performance.
10) The FDA has not taken sufficient advantage of external and internal collaborations.
11) The FDA lacks the information science capability and information infrastructure to fulfill is regulatory mandate.
12) The FDA cannot provide the information infrastructure support to regulate products based on new science.
[From: the November 2007 Report of the Subcommittee on Science and Technology, FDA Science and Mission at Risk]
It is time to consider divesting the pharmaceutical industry dominated FDA of its food oversight authority. Did Congress make a mistake in the 1930s when it created one agency to oversee foods, drugs and medical devices? It is time to correct that mistake.
Genetically Modified and Other Product Labeling
The Foundation notes the strong public support for genetically modified organism GMO) labeling.
The FDA is conducting the world’s largest experiment on the American people — without either their knowledge or consent. in the absence of any safety testing or review, it permits unlabeled genetically modified (GM or “Frankenfood”) in America’s food supply and explicitly refuses to allow it to be labeled as such since it says that the truth would be “false and misleading” to the majority of US consumers who want GM labeling and say they would not eat GM food if they had a choice about it**. GM food is highly questionable scientifically.
By withholding information on what is, and what is not genetically modified, the FDA is simultaneously adulterating America’s food supply (which may be 60% GM foods) and taking away the right of Americans to choose whether they want to be part of an experiment for which they have not signed up and which may, in the long run, cost them their lives, the ability to have children, give them cancer and poison the environment for all future generations. Not only is the FDA’s biotech-friendly decision dangerous, it is also illegal since withholding this information is against the law in this country. As the Supreme Court said in the landmark Thompson case,
“We have previously rejected the notion that the Government has an interest in preventing the dissemination of truthful commercial information in order to prevent members of the public from making bad decisions with the information.”
(Thompson v. Western States Medical Center - 01-344, decided on April 29, 2002 - 535 U.S. 357)
Should the government prevent truthful and not misleading labeling of GM ingredients and GM Free products? We think not.
The FDA permits the unlabeled irradiation of all foods in supposed compliance with Codex. Americans should have the right to chose non-irradiated foods if they want to avoid the known health hazards associated with so-called “cold pasteurization”. Without labeling, they do not have this right. We therefore call upon the government to stop preventing truthful and not misleading labeling of irradiated free products.
Complementary and Alternative Health Care Options
Many Americans understand that natural “wellness care” therapies are safe, effective and inexpensive compared to pharmaceutical “illness care” options and demand the right to purchase advanced therapies for cancer, arthritis, diabetes, attention deficit disorder, depression, and other conditions and diseases, without FDA interference. People demand the right to choose thei own health care options and take their own responsibility for those choices.
Forced Vaccinations
Americans are shocked over recent state and federal moves to mandate ever more multiple vaccinations (with untested interactions). They reject the CDC (Center for Disease Control) position that the pharmaceutical industry does not have to list mercury and other harmful vaccination ingredients which remain in even so-called “mercury free” vaccines in “trace” amounts that the World Health Organization (WHO) says are dangerous even in trace amounts.
We note horrid spectacle of thousands of children and parents forced into the court house in Prince Georges County, Maryland, November 2007, where the children were vaccinated (sometimes a second time since the schools had lost their records) by a state’s attorney who uses Maryland’s exemption laws for his own children’s protection, to assure that county school system higher federal and state aid. With police lines and police dogs and armed guards (but no doctors to ask if the children had previous adverse reactions) many Americans were shocked and this event has given rise to a national movement to protect and enhance religious and philosophical vaccination exemption laws.
See, for example, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/no-forced-vaccination/
Health Freedom advocates support the broadest exemption laws for all Americans.
They reject the uninsurable risk of mandated vaccination and the Federal government’s Vaccine Injury Compensation Program which taxes parents to protect pharmaceutical profits and has paid over $2 billion dollars to the families of children who have been killed and maimed by mandated vaccinations.
Personal Privacy
Americans understand that government agencies increasingly invade personal decisions, taking custody of children away from parents who do not want to vaccinate or medicate them and forcing drugs on the elderly and other vulnerable populations.
They resent secret government access to their medical records under HIPPA and homeland security provisions which allow the government to invade their lab results and other records, checking up on diabetic’s blood sugar levels, for example and identifying doctors who do not prescribe drugs as “practicing substandard care” while paying them less money for their supposedly “substandard” treatment.
Americans are angry that the FDA and EPA have canceled their right of informed consent about human experimentation for special populations (e.g., prisoners, children in foster care) and whole populations — as long as there is secret notification of local police forces 30 days before exposing Americans to radiological, biological, frequency chemical or other experimental hazards.
The American people know that radio frequency identification (RFID) and implantable chips are planned for them. They do not want to be forced to accept RFID and chipping intrusions which would reveal all of their medical and financial information to anyone with a swipe device.
They demand a return to traditional American values of personal privacy and health care choice.
Health Freedom is an Individual Right
Health Freedom is an issue that is supported by a majority of Americans. They want a new pro-freedom policy at the FDA, EPA and other government agencies which are currently threatening both the health and the freedom of Americans.
A pro-health freedom public policy would mean that America would no longer be forced into compliance with international agencies serving private corporate agendas (this is euphemistically called “harmonization”).
Americans will, once again, lead the world toward greater personal choice in Health Care by the example of the freedoms our people will enjoy.

Co-creating the next wave in health freedom
With every revelation of the escalating failures of federal regulation of food and health care,* the health freedom movement grows and strengthens. Groups and alliances form and reform. Very dynamic social interactions occur on many levels.
The movement grows to the point where the "old hands" who used to know everyone in the movement, especially their nemeses, don't know half the people running online health freedom groups. That's certainly the case with me. I've been around for a while. Starting with the citation of merit the National Health Federation granted me in 1979 and continuing for many years of "laboring in the vineyards..." I never wanted to have the responsibility of being a movement "leader." I'd rather research and write polemics. But here is where I am... researching, writing, trying to help people self-organize to protect their privacy and health.
Well, what does it take to be the health freedom leader? For one thing, it takes "thick skin" and a willingness to forgive people who imitate you and at the same time pretend you were not there... first. Imitation is truly the best form of flattery. Duplicating what we are doing reduces the burden on those of us who have been doing it all, all along.
Perversely, the proof of leadership is found in the numerous attacks on our web sites, blogs and email blasts; it's found in the number of "skeptics" and "quackbusters" nipping at our heels with baseless "spam" charges and the like.
My Natural Solutions Foundation co-trustees and I have brought peoples attention to a number of "new threats" over the past couple years.
Examples: how the Trans-Tasman Agreement (Australia and New Zealand) could be used to take Canada down the wrong Codex HARMonization path. Now, a year and a half later, the equation is being understood: Codex -> Australia -> NZ -> Canada -> US via the NAU (North Atlantic Union)...
How the new wave of pro-vaccine propaganda is justifying a new wave of forced vaccination, like the Maryland courthouse atrocity in November 2007, when hundreds of kids were assaulted with repeat vaccinations because the school couldn't find their records, in a martial law atmosphere of fear and rights denied... now various groups, after ignoring the threat, are forming coalitions and alliances all over the place. Meanwhile, we've brought hundreds of powerhouse advocates together at the No-Forced-Vaccination Yahoo!Groups forum and filed a Citizens Petition with the FTC questioning the veracity of vaccine advertisements and propaganda, breaking new ground in seeking redress through one federal agency to correct the mistakes of another federal agency.

Last year, when others made jokes about the FDA's anti-CAM Guidance (the author of the guidance that would have made hot rocks "medical devices" did say he was "not Darth Vader") we mobilized our Mouse Warriors and saw our Health Freedom eAlert system grow tenfold. Our "netroots" saw the threat of the new regulatory category, CAM Product, created by FDA without Congress's permission -- no other "health freedom advocates" noticed, but after our eAlerts, over a half million people tried to tell the FDA what the agency could do with its infamous guidance... the comment system broke down after about two hundred thousand objections were registered. That guidance still hasn't been finalized, a year later.
And before that we filed a formal Citizens Petition with the FDA and USDA demanding that the FDA stop HARMonizing against restrictions already built into US statutory and case law. There have been near to 200,000 signatories on that document.
In addition to that, we are sponsoring 2 agricultural programs in Africa, and 1 agricultural farm and school in Panama (in concept development). Our International Decade of Nutrition actually can solve problems, including the food shortages that threaten global stability today, 18 months after we initiated this far sighted program specifically to meet world needs for wholesome foods.
We are the only health freedom organization visiting the decision makers in the developing world -- people who can take control of Codex. These include, for example, the then President of India.
And then there is Morgellons and GMOs. But that's new news and others are just beginning to catch on to it. We've started two special forums for GMOs in general and for the frightening possible connection to Morgellon's. And on and on and on.
We foresaw not just the threats of Forced Vaccinations or of GM food, but of all GM organisms, GMOs. Join the forums at:

We are delighted to see that every other health freedom organization now follows these issues too. It would be courteous for them to give credit where credit is due, but the important thing is that they woke up after we rang the bell and eventually get salivating... ;)
Since the problem is so huge and variegated, there is room for all. Welcome, sleepy heads! Join the pack!
While others are still hung up on mercury in vaccines, we acknowledge the dangers of the "trace mercury" still allowed in vaccines without labeling, but also point out the broader issues of conscience and dangers of multiple toxins and multiple
vaccinations.
And we will continue to innovate responses as we are presented with more challenges from the purveyors of illness and despair among the "Bigs" of this world, Big Govt, Big Pharma, Big Agra, Big Chema, Big Oil, etc.
We know Natural Solutions are the best solutions, and those are what we champion.

What is the next wave in health freedom? With all the new freedom advocates generated by Dr. Ron Paul's campaign [also Kucinich, Gravel and similar] things can only get better. With more Mouse Warriors we will be more active. I believe we will move from reactive vigilance to more aggressively seeking strong legal guarantees of our basic individual human right to exercise informed, voluntary control over our own lives, including the health care we choose or reject. That is the minimum free people should expect. I doubt there can be any stable world order without respect for such basic freedoms. I know many are ready to fight to preserve true liberty, as though our lives depended on it... as they do.

* Here is what an official government study of the FDA said:
1) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific base has eroded and its scientific organizational structure is weak.
2) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its scientific workforce does not have sufficient capacity and capability.
3) The FDA cannot fulfill its mission because its information technology (IT) infrastructure is inadequate.
4) FDA does not have the capacity to ensure the safety of food for the nation.
5) The development of medical products based on “new science” cannot be adequately regulated by the FDA.
6) There is insufficient capacity in modeling risk assessment and analysis.
7) The FDA science agenda lacks a coherent structure and vision, as well as effective coordination and prioritization.
8) The FDA has substantial recruitment and retention challenges.
9) The FDA has an inadequate and ineffective program for scientist performance.
10) The FDA has not taken sufficient advantage of external and internal collaborations.
11) The FDA lacks the information science capability and information infrastructure to fulfill is regulatory mandate.
12) The FDA cannot provide the information infrastructure support to regulate products based on new science.

The movement grows to the point where the "old hands" who used to know everyone in the movement, especially their nemeses, don't know half the people running online health freedom groups. That's certainly the case with me. I've been around for a while. Starting with the citation of merit the National Health Federation granted me in 1979 and continuing for many years of "laboring in the vineyards..." I never wanted to have the responsibility of being a movement "leader." I'd rather research and write polemics. But here is where I am... researching, writing, trying to help people self-organize to protect their privacy and health.
Well, what does it take to be the health freedom leader? For one thing, it takes "thick skin" and a willingness to forgive people who imitate you and at the same time pretend you were not there... first. Imitation is truly the best form of flattery. Duplicating what we are doing reduces the burden on those of us who have been doing it all, all along.
Perversely, the proof of leadership is found in the numerous attacks on our web sites, blogs and email blasts; it's found in the number of "skeptics" and "quackbusters" nipping at our heels with baseless "spam" charges and the like.
My Natural Solutions Foundation co-trustees and I have brought peoples attention to a number of "new threats" over the past couple years.
Examples: how the Trans-Tasman Agreement (Australia and New Zealand) could be used to take Canada down the wrong Codex HARMonization path. Now, a year and a half later, the equation is being understood: Codex -> Australia -> NZ -> Canada -> US via the NAU (North Atlantic Union)...
