The Silver Safety Pyramid

As a member of the Silver Safety Committee I am pleased to post this announcement:

ANNOUNCEMENT
Announcing the Silver Safety Pyramid:


www.silversafety.org

From the Silver Safety Committee, based on the Silver Safety Guideline, and utilizing the Silver Safety Calculation.

This is what every single person using any silver supplement, whether called ionic silver or colloidal silver, needs for total peace of mind to easily be assured of safe usage of any silver product.

The Silver Safety Pyramid provides a simple way to determine safe usage from the following three perspectives:

DAILY USE
SHORT-TERM USE
ENTIRE LIFETIME

As stated on the main page:

"Silver has been in the drinking water and food supply for thousands of years. It is a commonly occurring mineral that is considered harmless by the US Government when responsible limits on silver intake are maintained. Silver supplements have been used by millions of people, yet reports of skin discoloration from argyria are very rare; it occurs only with excessive intake. As with anything, responsible use is required. These guidelines provide a method for easily determining safe usage limits for any silver supplement."

The site even includes the Silver Safety Auto-Calculator! All one needs to do is plug in their pounds of body weight and the PPM (concentration) of silver contained in whatever supplement they’re using. The Auto-Calculator will instantly tell them how much they can safely use of that product per day for daily use, short-term use, or their entire lifetime.

THIS IS VITALLY USEFUL INFORMATION FOR EVERYONE INTERESTED IN HOLISTIC HEALTH AND HEALTH FREEDOM. Nobody should ever be at risk of skin discoloration from using silver again!

The TRUTH is Our Defense: Internet Attacks on NSF

The TRUTH is Our Defense…

Confused About the Natural Solutions Foundation?
That’s Exactly What 'the Other Side' Wants!

There is only one defense for libel or slander: the truth. Since the recent Internet attacks against us contain no truth, they are, by definition, both libel and slander. Why are they happening? It is really quite simple: Your ill health is big business (the biggest) and the other side has all the money it needs to buy disinformation and disinformation agents. So there are 'agents provcateur,' people who stir up division and trouble on demand, out there trying to attack the Natural Solutions Foundation. We are the largest and far and away the most successful health freedom organization in the world.

And then there are what Lenin called “useful idiots”, people who unwittingly do the work of the tyrannizers. Sadly, health freedom has both in abundance.

Note: A negative can not be proven (I am NOT this, I have NOT done that), but such accusations are made about us not because they are true, but because they can be made to SOUND true! Made to appear plausible through the Big Lie techniques of disinformation.

We get attacked all the time, notably when we are RIGHT on target. This go around is no exception. If you haven’t encountered the latest attacks, good. Ignore this. If you have encountered them, ignore the attacks. Here’s why:

Fact : Gen. Stubblebine and Dr. Laibow are not now and have never been associated with the CIA, Big Pharma, the US Government except as a tax payer and a citizen, the New World Order or any of its faces, or any other force trying to control you or me. We act as we see fit and say what we believe to be true based on the best of our information and knowledge. Period. We are so effective in our opposition to the Powers That Be that a serious attempt may have been made on my life a year ago, we have been met with guns at the Codex meeting to keep us under guard and away from the other attendees and delegates. We have been threatened by representatives of the industries and agencies whose agendas we oppose. We have been attacked directly by the Chairman of Codex from the Podium during a Codex meeting and Dr. Barbara Schneeman, the US Codex Representative at a recent Codex meeting told members of the pro-health delegate coalition we inspired to stay away from us since we “got things wrong” and that they, the developing world, should come to HER, instead, for answers to their questions and concerns. We would say that we are pretty clearly UNcontrolled opposition, and pretty good at it, too!

Fact : Foundation President, General Stubblebine retired in 1984. Before that, his operational commander was the Deputy Director of the CIA and he had many clearances. He continued to work as a Defense Contractor until 1992 or so and retired from that business. He allowed ALL his security clearances to lapse and has no more access to classified, sensitive or other restricted data than you do. Dr. Laibow has had no clearances of any kind and she has neither applied for any nor been given any.

Fact : We do not individually or as an organization care if Kevin Miller makes one or a thousand films of any length. We were compelled to sue him for failure to perform his contractual obligations because the mother who mortgaged her house in order to pay for the film which the Foundation commissioned opposing the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline, slated for ratification on July 4, 2005 requested a refund. Miller did not produce the film in a timely fashion, releasing it on June 29, 2005, far too late to accomplish its public relations goal and did not make the film for which he had been contracted. We requested the donor’s money back. After a legal proceeding, Miller agreed to a settlement in which he paid back the money under terms which the settlement prevents either Miller or our side from disclosing. Miller defaulted on those payments but the family chose not to pursue him at this time since they felt it was throwing good money after bad.

Fact : The Natural Solutions Foundation accepts NO corporate sponsorship. One hundred percent of its funding comes either from the money that General Stubblebine and Dr. Laibow put into it (their life savings and the proceeds from the sale of their lovely home in Westchester, NY in 2007) or what private donors donate. They work for free, take no salary, compensation, or other benefit from the Foundation and, instead, pay for any expense shortfall with our dwindling resources. Council Ralph Fucetola, JD devotes at least half time every month on the same basis. Our other staff are similarly all volunteer. Where is the profit? Where is the misuse of funds? Every penny goes into the work of the Foundation. We provide the overhead, the office, the ink, the internet, the paper, the time and the skill to run it. There are no salaries to drain the impact of your donations. None.

Fact : General Stubblebine is NOT the illusory violent, abusive, alcoholic, “CIA Agent” father of a multiply hospitalized paranoid schizophrenic “activist” whose charges hit the Internet and then reverberate to his glee and our undeserved discredit, despite the bizarre letters we, and others have received to that effect. Nor has General Stubblebine ever stared a goat (or anything else) to death, nor has he tried to do so. He did, while on active duty, learn about the purported human capacity to do so and brought the idea that it might be possible to Fort Bragg, home of the Special Forces, with which he had no connection, and never heard what happened to the technology thereafter.

Fact : General Stubblebine never had any connection, part in, knowledge about, or dealings with the Mind Control program. He believed, until he met me in 1991, that the program had been stopped following the demand of Congress that MK Ultra and other Mind Control programs cease immediately. Anyone making these assertions has no idea how compartmentalization and clearances work: the need to know determines what you know. He was in Strategic Intelligence and had no need to know, so he was never “read into” any Mind Control Program.

Dr. Laibow knew that the programs had continued because as a psychiatrist and social activist she had been introduced to a number of people who claimed the same events had happened to each of them. In fact, long before she met General Stubblebine, a Congressional Staffer friend brought data and people to her to evaluate whether these people had, in fact, been subjected to Mind Control techniques and asked her if she thought the subject was worth another round of Congressional Hearings. She was able, through this documentation, to convince a highly skeptical General Stubblebine in 1991 that this program had continued after Congress ordered it disbanded.

Fact : Dr. Laibow has never administered, supervised or been associated with electroshock in any form. She turned down a fine position with a major University hospital because she would have been forced to either administer or supervise ECT and was unwilling to do that for any reason. She has spent her entire career in psychiatry and medicine using non-drug treatments rather than drug ones. For example, when she was asked to take over an in patient psychiatric ward for children and adolescents in Connecticut, she took every child and teenager in the ward off drugs. The administration of the hospital and the insurance companies protested vigorously, but the children got better and the horrific behaviors and side effects (read, “brain damage” caused by the drugs) diminished significantly. Her entire medical practice has been devoted to drug-free solutions to psychiatric and medical problems.

Fact : It makes no difference whether General Stubblebine and she were lovers before his divorce! (DUH!) The assertions of an angry spouse during divorce proceeding in 1994 are neither accurate nor relevant. They would say our detractors are scraping all the way through the bottom of the barrel and into the dirt below if this is what they need to use to damage the Foundation. Shame!

Fact : We are not using high pressure tactics to separate people from their money, IRAs or 401s. The government of the United States is about to do just that and we have a legitimate and helpful humanitarian project in Panama which can accept these funds. The Valley of the Moon Eco Demonstration Community project, part of our International Decade of Nutrition, is a sustainable farm, farm school, natural medical center, etc., offers people many reasons to become a part of it. Those who are interested can learn more and decide whether or not it is for them. Others can ignore it. www.NaturalSolutionsFoundation.org

Fact : Foundation Council and Trustee Ralph Fucetola, J.D., was asked years ago by one of the attackers to advise her in the medical board hearings which ultimately cost her medical license in the same state in which Dr. Laibow is licensed. Ralph did not know this person when she lost custody of her child, despite assertions to the contrary. Nor did he “abandon” her during the hearings. Once she was advised that to regain her license she would have to seek psychiatric help she did not, to our knowledge, retain Ralph or another attorney to assist her and remains de-licensed to this day.

The truth is that these detractors, whatever their mental status and their motivation, would add much, much more to the battle for health freedom by actually accomplishing something rather than attacking those who are accomplishing it! If they can behave like adults, they are welcome to join us. We have NEVER attacked anyone and will not. We will, however, take whatever steps we need to in order to protect health freedom and our well-deserved reputations, as we did when we sued Miller to get back the donor’s money. These false statements and innuendos must cease and desist.

Had enough of this? Good. Let’s move on. You can join with us by going to www.HealthFreedomUSA.org and joining our free Health Freedom Action eAlert mailing list.

"Guest Blog" - Lew Rockwell Defending Nutrients and Natural Remedies

Lew Rockwell, the sharp mind and energy behind the leading free market web site, http://www.mises.org also writes the LewRockwell.com blog. He's recently defended dietary supplementation against what he calls the "pseudo-science now being used to denigrate dietary supplements..."

How can we have the freedom to decide what nutrients and remedies we need for ourselves and our families when the MMD (Media of Mass Deception) continue to publicize distorted propaganda attacking natural choices?

The title of Lew's blog entry says it all: "It Was a Bad Week for Modern Medicine
So National Institutes of Health Launches 'Inquisition' Into Use Of Dietary Supplements and Alternative Therapies"

Divesting the FDA of Food Authority

It's been a year since 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.

From: the November 2007 Report of the Subcommittee on Science and Technology, "FDA Science and Mission at Risk."

The FDA is a failed agency that, in Dr. Ron Paul's words, engages in "abuse of power."

Even the FDA's own scientists are complaining about the corruption that pervades the agency: http://www.naturalnews.com/z024910.html -- and this is not the first time conscientious scientists have raised these issues.

I believe that due to its focus on the drug industry (80% of its funding comes from Big Pharma "user fees") and its failure to protect the safety of the food supply, while engaging in international "HARMonization" that degrades organic standards and allows ever-increasing levels of toxins (including antibiotic residues) in the food supply, the FDA is incapable of administering food regulations.

The FDA's prejudice against nutrient supplementation and traditional, natural remedies means these advanced healthcare alternative competitors to pharmaceuticals are denigrated, marginalized and regulated against.

See also the Natural Solutions Foundations recent comments to the FDA condemning the agency's latest moves against nutrients: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=1449

What is the answer? It is to, in the immortal words of John Galt, "Get out of the way." We need to engage market forces to stimulate advanced alternatives to a medical system that is now the major source of death in our society. We need to divest the FDA of any authority over foods. Maybe then it can focus on the dangers of pharmaceuticals, including the uninsurable risks of mandatory vaccination.

We need to free Foods (including nutrients and natural remedies) from the deadly hands of the FDA.

Natural Solutions at "End the Fed" Rally

I attended the End the Fed rally in New York city earlier today and delivered a message from Natural Solutions Foundation's President, Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA ret). Here is the YouTube coverage of the rally and my presentation.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R9PSETSdTgw

More videos of the rallies around the country:
http://www.seektress.com/fedrally.htm

Here is what Gen. Bert asked me to tell the participants:

“War is bad for your health. Unstable money systems are the tool of those who generate wars for their own financial health. Health freedom implies the freedom to live free from the threat of engineered wars to enrich the few and kill and subjugate the many. It also implies the right to earn enough real money to support the health and well being of your body, your family, your community and your world.”



I continued:

Without a stable and sensible, non-fiat currency to direct and drive both our foreign and domestic policy, we have no hope of health, of peace or of freedom. I urge you to become active in the twin campaigns to secure your health freedom from the forces which are destroying it as we speak and your financial liberation from the same forces which are enslaving you through fiat currency and the diabolical Fed system, again, even as we speak and rally.

Natural Solutions Foundation and the Natural Solutions Foundation Peace Research Institute offer natural solutions to these complex, intertwined and devastatingly dangerous problems. We urge you to link minds and efforts with us to lead the successful battle against these twin dangers.

Recall for a moment the chilling and famous statement of Meyer Rothschild who said, "Give me control of a nation's money and I care not who makes the laws ...." and the history of the fiat money managers who have engineered and financed every war since the American Revolution by creating bellicose causes on both side, financing both sides and creating the fiat funds to purchase the resulting devastation… and doing it over and over again.

And make no mistake. This greed and inhumanity has no religion. It has no economic or political theory or creed, but its own well being… and it has neither mercy nor compassion.

The Federal Reserve, like Codex Alimentarius (the world food code), is a complex, globalized and globalizing system of domination designed to enslave and/or kill you, either rapidly or slowly.

But we are not slaves. We are free men and women who must choose our own destiny and reject the nefarious plans of those who would control us through inauthentic means and through guile.

Now is the time. The system of central state control of the value of our money has been exposed as corrupted and as a failure. Through peaceful, intelligent and persuasive means, we must wage a war of peace and health for ourselves and our future. We call for a true return to a real commodity money standard set by markets, not politicians. As the Constitution teaches, no state shall make anything but gold and silver a legal tender for debt.

We reject the usurpation of Constitutional right which the Federal Reserve represents. That usurpation, over a century old, known as the “Legal Tender Cases” abrogated to the US Government the unconstitutional power to declare legal tender and led directly to the crisis of the moment. This usurpation must end: End the Fed! Return to Constitutional money!

During the hundred years before the Fed, twenty dollars was one ounce of fine gold. At the end of that hundred years, the gold dollar bought more than at the start. Today, after nearly a hundred years of the Federal Reserve fiat money fraud, the dollar has lost 99% of its value! Today, if you can find it, a one ounce gold coin will cost about one thousand Federal Reserve Fraud Notes.

The Natural Solutions Foundation welcomes you and your creativity and capacities. You can reach us at www.HealthFreedomUSA.org and join our community of strength by signing up for our free, urgent eAlerts and letting everyone, and I do mean EVERYONE, you know understand that this is a major issue and you are an activated citizen urging them to become the same - an activated citizen.

Again, that's www.HealthFreedomUSA.org for the eAlerts.

This IS our country. It IS our monetary system. It IS our Health and, ultimately, it IS our freedom which is at stake. Thank you.

PS - Here is what we posted to FDA online comments:
Comment tracking number is 807b59c0 FDA Docket No. FDA-2008-N-0389

Natural Solutions Foundation is a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) consumer group organized as an exempt entity in the United States (State of Nevada) and in several other countries. Our primary web site is www.HealthFreedomUSA.org and we have over 185,000 supporters, primarily Americans.

These comments address the third question raised by FDA in its call for comments, namely how the Section 301(11) restrictions on commerce might apply to dietary supplements, thereby restricting consumer choice.

National Solutions Foundation was one of the institutions that helped educate members of Congress and other decision makers regarding the relationship of Dietary Supplements regulated under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA) to the enhanced authority granted FDA by Congress in the 2007 Food and Drug Act Amendments.

Due to determined public expression, including messages to Congress by hundreds of thousands of citizens, section 1011 of the Act was included, the Rule of Construction that states, "Nothing in this title (or an amendment made by this title) shall be construed to affect-- (1) the regulation of dietary supplements under the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 (Public Law 103-417)"

The 301(11) restrictions must be interpreted under the exemption for DSHEA products intended by Section 1011. As a result, DSHEA products must be allowed in interstate commerce without interference by the provisions of section 301(11).

However, the same requirement of law does not apply to food products that contain "trace" or more amounts of extraneous hormones, pesticides, pharmaceuticals, including antibiotics, irradiation break-down products and other toxins introduced to food during its processing. Such adulterated foods should not be on the market.

In its unseemly reach for more authority to restrict consumer choice in nutrients the FDA seeks to ignore the plain Congressional intent of Section 1011 and the unanimous Congressional intent of DSHEA that Dietary Supplements are foods, deemed safe when used as directed.

In this way, FDA continues to exhibit why it is time for Congress to consider divesting FDA of its food authority. FDA has failed to protect the American food supply and is institutionally incapable of responding constructively to consumer choice in nutrition.

Musings on Health Freedom in the Coming Period

There is a lot of misinformation and misunderstanding out there when it comes to the relationships among our right to truthful information about nutrients, and national and international regulation of speech about nutrients. Nutrient purveyors and distributors need to know what the regulations say about what they can and cannot say about nutrients. Those regulations are complicated and constitute significant barriers against commerce in nutrition.

Simply put, nutrients nourish the normal structure and function of the body. You cannot say that nutrients "treat, prevent, mitigate or cure" any disease. This is, of course, a restriction on free speech since sometimes nutrients may very well have powerful health benefits.

At one end of the spectrum we have the libertarian ideal of free and open discourse, exemplified to some degree by Justice O'Connor's stirring words in Thompson v. Western States Medical Center, decided on April 29, 2002 - 535 U.S. 357:

"If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last - not first - resort... 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 [even] bad decisions with the information... Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring ... a warning that the [product] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown."

At the other end of the spectrum is, for example, the Codex Alimentarius (world food code) "Vitamin and Mineral Guideline" of 2005 that, in my opinion, seeks to treat nutrients as though they were industrial toxins or drugs, rather than foods. I've extensively researched the VMG and together with others developed what Dr. Rima E. Laibow termed "The Codex 2 Step" about how countries can opt out of Codex restrictions without WTO trade consequences.

My brief video about that is on the Ntural Solutions media site,
http://www.naturalsolutionsmedia.tv

We prepared, for the Two Step, an alternative VMG that is friendly to nutrients and a model International Dietary Supplement Act that countries can adopt; it follows from the Alt VMG and is modeled after DSHEA with some of Dr. Paul's innovative legislative proposals included. These texts are available in the Codex eBook, from www.globalhealthfreedom.org

Will, as the rumor has it, all vitamins be banned in the next couple years? Not if we can help it! But innovative, high potency products may likely be harder to find. Innovation drives markets while status quo bureaucracy and regulation stifle markets.

You can't see the VMG in isolation. It is part of a broad "new world order" agenda supportive of Big Pharma and Big Agra, implemented through the FDA's illegal policy of HARMonization of our freedoms with international regulations -- the North American Union may be more central to those plans right now than even Codex. We've petitioned the FDA to stop these bad policies, but, unlike "citizens petitions" from the likes of the recent GSK "petition" attacking weight control nutrients, our petitions, supported by hundreds of thousands of Americans, do not receive mass media or FDA attention.

We are, though, gaining influence, and last year, when Congress rushed through what I call the 'FDA Enabling Act' granting more power to that failed agency, strong public protests secured language in the bill exempting DSHEA products. We do not know what the new Administration will bring, but see my recent blog on the potential for innovative change during the Obama presidency.

http://vitaminlawyerhealthfreedom.blogspot.com/2008/11/president-obama-and-health-freedom.html

There is no specific "proposal" now pending in Congress to ban nutrients outright.

Rather there is a continual wearing-away of availability through excess regulation. More toxins are allowed into the food chain. More non-organic ingredients are allowed in so-called USDA "organic" foods. More herbs and nutrients are forbidden at meaningful intake levels. The process goes on and on, in Codex committee meeting after meeting, in FDA regulation after regulation. It is a cumulative effect. And its result is to stifle a vibrant nutrient market.

And that is where the danger truly lies. That is why, with Health Freedom as well, "eternal vigilance" is the price of freedom. One place to keep that vigil is through www.HealthFreedomUSA.org where you can join the free Health Freedom eAlert [just click on the "Join Mailing List" link at the upper right corner] to receive urgent updates.

Remember, alone we are each just a "voice in the wilderness" of cyberspace, but together we are growing strong!

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...

No Forced Vaccination Rally

Hundreds of families attended the No Forced Vaccination Rally on the steps of the State House, Trenton,NJ on October 16, 2008 to demand the adoption of a Universal Vaccination Exemption law, pending as Bill A260/S1071.

I spoke at the rally, and here is a YouTube video of that presentation:



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gjl6-5cj0ao

Natural Solutions media release on the rally:

Natural Solutions Foundation
www.HealthFreedomUSA.org

Media Release: End All Forced Vaccination

Trenton, October 16, 2008 – Natural Solutions Foundation participates in the Rally for Vaccination Choice at the Statehouse in Trenton, New Jersey today. Through its www.HealthFreedomUsa.org web site, the Foundation is the largest international netroots Health Freedom alliance in the world.

Foundation trustee and life-long New Jersey resident Ralph Fucetola JD delivered a special message to the Rally from Foundation President Maj. Gen. Bert Stubblebine (USA, ret) and Medical Director Rima E. Laibow, MD. The message stated,

“Natural Solutions Foundation supports the efforts of people around the world who oppose forced vaccination for any purpose. As an educational, nongovernmental organization we seek to inform legislators and decision makers about the dangers of vaccine induced disease and the necessity of a Universal Right to Vaccine Exemptions, including strong religious, philosophical and medical exemptions for all vaccines. We congratulate New Jersians on their efforts to stop the uninsurable risks of mandated vaccines.”

Counsel Fucetola continued, “The fact that the insurance industry, our society's experts in risk, will not insure vaccines is a very telling fact. Without the special Federal Vaccine Injury Compensation Program (VICP) tax that every person who is mandated to buy vaccines is forced to pay, there could be no mandated vaccines at all. Public companies cannot invest in uninsurable risks, so Congress, ever supine to the interests of Big Pharma, mandated that the victims have to pay a tax to guarantee pharmaceutical industry vaccine profits. So far, over two billion tax dollars has been paid out to the families of children maimed and killed by vaccines. This must stop now!”

The Natural Solutions Foundation, along with other health freedom advocates, declared, a year ago, that ending forced vaccinations must be a top priority of all freedom activists. The Tiburon Statement, named after the California town where it was written at an emergency meeting of nongovernmental organizations, can be found at: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=460 - it states:

Convening for Health Freedom of Choice, Protecting our Children from Forced Vaccination

Health and Freedom leaders and advocates, meeting in an emergency strategic session at Tiburon, California and electronically, declare -

- We collectively call upon Congress and State Legislatures to take immediate steps to restore and guarantee freedom of choice in vaccination and health care and to protect our children and us against forced treatments.

- The moral imperative embodied in the World Medical Association Declaration of Helsinki forbids involuntary medical treatment or experimentation in the absence of fully informed, voluntary consent.

- We have a right to legal protection against mandatory inoculations of our children, such as those which occurred on November 17, 2007 in Prince George’s County Court House, enforced by police.

- Taxpayers have paid nearly $2 billion to compensate families for the death or disability of their children due to vaccination.

We, the undersigned, call upon the Congress of the United States and legislators of each State to adopt the strongest possible legal protections to ensure health care freedom of choice, including the universal right to vaccination exemptions.

One Thousand People Expected To Rally For Vaccination Choice

at the State House in Trenton, NJ on Thursday, October 16, 2008 at 12:00 p.m.

Annoucement:

NJ Assemblywoman Charlotte Vandervalk, Board-certified Pediatrician Dr. Lawrence Palevsky and National Vaccine Information Center co-founder Barbara Loe Fisher, will join NJ parents and professionals at a rally in Trenton for vaccination choice. Nearly one thousand people are expected, requiring Trenton to close the streets to accommodate the crowds.

The speakers represent a cross-section of society including medical doctors, nurses, chiropractors, scientists, clergy, educators, soldiers, politicians, journalists, autism activists, homeschoolers and many parents. The NJ Coalition for Vaccination Choice (NJCVC) invites you to rally with them by the steps of the State House, outside Gov. Corzine's office. The group opposes the four new vaccine mandates including an annual flu shot for children ages 5 and under, required for daycare and pre-school. NJCVC supports the passage of bill A260/S1071, a conscientious exemption to mandatory immunization which will permit parents to select all, some or no vaccinations for their children. A form of this parental right already exists in 19 other US states. All legislators will be in Trenton for a Special Session. Fox News plans to cover the event. Fox aired a live segment on vaccination choice in NJ on October 9 (see http://tinyurl.com/3nmgqb and http://tinyurl.com/45ca5y). Press urged to cover this high visual impact event: signs, banners, balloons, photos, children, music, personal stories, legislator appreciation ceremony.

NJ May Mandate Vaccines for Homeschooled Children!

That's right. Even as many Jersians are fighting the Dietitian's Monopoly Bill and preparing to go to Trenton on October 16, 2008 seeking to secure Legislative protection from dangerous, mandated vaccinations, some in the State Assembly are planning yet another vaccine assault on our children.

Assembly Bill A3123, the anti-homeschooling bill introduced on September 28, 2008, among other evil provisions, would enact:

"1. Prior to the establishment of a home education program and annually thereafter... a parent or guardian shall submit to the superintendent of the resident school district a notarized letter registering his child in a home education program. The letter shall include ... e. evidence that each student being registered has been immunized in accordance with the provisions of the State Sanitary Code..."

Privacy? Parental Rights? Religious Rights? Protection of our Children from Assault by the Uninsurable Risk of Vaccination... the Trenton Thugs continue the attack, so we must continue to defend our families!

Health Freedom is at risk yet again, and yet again, the attacks on freedom of choice are attacks on the lives of our loved ones.

The system is sick -- it needs a really big dose of freedom to recover!

This just in from New Jersey -

-------------
October 1, 2008 - This week is the last week in which we can try to influence an assembly committee to oppose the proposed Dietitians Monopoly Bill, A2933 . This bill has already passed in the Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee last month on the 15th and one more committee must pass it before it is sent to the senate for their committee approvals - where we will have to begin all over again to oppose it. If successful in the senate we will hold a rally before the final vote as our last effort .

Next Monday , October 6th, 2008, the final assembly committee to hear Bill A2933 will be the Assembly Appropriations Committee. Please contact all the appropriations committee members listed below and ask them to oppose bill A2 933. Call them and Email them -- information below.

Tell the assembly people that this bill is not only exclusionary and making natural health businesses and practitioners illegal , but will be expensive for the state to monitor and enforce. Remind them that when t his bill passed in Ohio that about 800 practitioners were initially arrested and hundreds of lives and businesses were destroyed by those who had to enforce the bill. There are no practitioners left in Ohio other than dietitians and few health shops other than the medically approved GNC.

Please print the below poster /handout an d pass it around, post it and forward it to all you know . Ask them to contact by phone and Email the committee members listed on it. Don ’ t forget to sign the petition at www.AmericansRightToBeInformed.com if you have not done so. Thank you, Dian

This bill designates the American Dietetic Association (ADA) as the only legal entity allowed to set standards for food, weight-loss, supplements and nutrition.

The ADA chooses the foods served in schools, hospitals and nursing homes. They receive million s from sponsors like these: Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Taco Bell, Crisco, PepsiCo, etc.

US Codex Delegation Ignoring US Law

Another road trip to Washington, DC, last Wednesday 09/24/08 to the FDA's Center for Food Safety in College Park, just over the Maryland line. The US Codex Delegation was holding a Public Meeting to discuss its policies for the upcoming Codex Committee on Nutritional Foods for Special Dietary Uses.

The usual cast of characters were present in the auditorium ... bureaucrats, lobbyists, a journalist and health claims researcher Maury Silverman and me as Public Observers.

The ten item agenda covered many of the issues that concern us at Natural Solutions Foundation. These include foods for children, labeling and health claims. We've prepared a draft set of comments that we will be submitting to the Delegation. We invite you to comment too.

Here is the US Position Paper: http://www.fsis.usda.gov/PDF/US_Draft_Positions_CCNFSDU.pdf

Here is the email address for your comments: CCNFSDU@fda.hhs.gov (due by 10/06/08)

Here are our Comments: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?p=1059

What I found remarkable were the people present who questioned the Delegates directly about the US Codex Delegation supporting positions at the World Food Code meetings that seem to be contrary to US statutory and case law. We join those objections and the Comments we prepared specifically cite the US Supreme Court telling the FDA that it cannot censor truthful commercial speech about health even to protect us from making "bad" decisions with the information.

Here is what Dr. Laibow's written comments to the Delegation stated:

"NSF believes that the FDA’s position on health claims violates the US Constitution in restricting freedom of speech (see the Supreme Court Decision in Thompson vs. Western States), that it has been enjoined from doing so in the cited Supreme Court decision and that it also violates US law (i.e., DSHEA, USC 1325, FDA Revitalization Act of 1997 and S. 1082, FDA reorganization act 2007 so that the US position in the international context of Codex violates both national competence and is, in fact, illegal."

One of the public commentators asked, pointedly, "Why is there no discussion of current US standards in the position paper - it would be useful to state what the current US law is..." [These quotes are from my notes and may be paraphrased.]

The Delegate responded, "US policy is the foundation of our [Codex] policy..."

The commentator responded, "If Codex is setting the world standard, US should always tell how its position relate to current US law."

Later, the Delegate admitted, "Codex definition of health claims is much broader than the US definition..." but made no mention of urging Codex to adopt definitions that would permit our more permissive, pro-free speech rules to stand.

Most tellingly, the Delegate, responding to a question about how much dialogue occurs with other Codex member nations, stated, "Most interactions occur with the quad countries - US, Canada, Australia and Britain... and through NAFTA..."

Another commentator asserted that "S&F claims [the typical vitamin support for normal structure and function claims] are health claims under Codex..."

And it goes... with citizens and commercial interests alike questioning the assumptions of the US Codex bureaucracy.

Ron Paul on the Economic Crisis

Dr. Ron Paul, Member of Congress from Texas just sent this email about the economic crisis: http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog/?p=616


---------------

Dear Friends:

The financial meltdown the economists of the Austrian School predicted has arrived.

We are in this crisis because of an excess of artificially created credit at the hands of the Federal Reserve System. The solution being proposed? More artificial credit by the Federal Reserve. No liquidation of bad debt and malinvestment is to be allowed. By doing more of the same, we will only continue and intensify the distortions in our economy - all the capital misallocation, all the malinvestment - and prevent the market's attempt to re-establish rational pricing of houses and other assets.

Last night the president addressed the nation about the financial crisis. There is no point in going through his remarks line by line, since I'd only be repeating what I've been saying over and over - not just for the past several days, but for years and even decades.

Still, at least a few observations are necessary.

The president assures us that his administration "is working with Congress to address the root cause behind much of the instability in our markets." Care to take a guess at whether the Federal Reserve and its money creation spree were even mentioned?

We are told that "low interest rates" led to excessive borrowing, but we are not told how these low interest rates came about. They were a deliberate policy of the Federal Reserve. As always, artificially low interest rates distort the market. Entrepreneurs engage in malinvestments - investments that do not make sense in light of current resource availability, that occur in more temporally remote stages of the capital structure than the pattern of consumer demand can support, and that would not have been made at all if the interest rate had been permitted to tell the truth instead of being toyed with by the Fed.

Not a word about any of that, of course, because Americans might then discover how the great wise men in Washington caused this great debacle. Better to keep scapegoating the mortgage industry or "wildcat capitalism" (as if we actually have a pure free market!).

Speaking about Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the president said: "Because these companies were chartered by Congress, many believed they were guaranteed by the federal government. This allowed them to borrow enormous sums of money, fuel the market for questionable investments, and put our financial system at risk."

Doesn't that prove the foolishness of chartering Fannie and Freddie in the first place? Doesn't that suggest that maybe, just maybe, government may have contributed to this mess? And of course, by bailing out Fannie and Freddie, hasn't the federal government shown that the "many" who "believed they were guaranteed by the federal government" were in fact correct?

Then come the scare tactics. If we don't give dictatorial powers to the Treasury Secretary "the stock market would drop even more, which would reduce the value of your retirement account. The value of your home could plummet." Left unsaid, naturally, is that with the bailout and all the money and credit that must be produced out of thin air to fund it, the value of your retirement account will drop anyway, because the value of the dollar will suffer a precipitous decline. As for home prices, they are obviously much too high, and supply and demand cannot equilibrate if government insists on propping them up.

It's the same destructive strategy that government tried during the Great Depression: prop up prices at all costs. The Depression went on for over a decade. On the other hand, when liquidation was allowed to occur in the equally devastating downturn of 1921, the economy recovered within less than a year.

The president also tells us that Senators McCain and Obama will join him at the White House today in order to figure out how to get the bipartisan bailout passed. The two senators would do their country much more good if they stayed on the campaign trail debating who the bigger celebrity is, or whatever it is that occupies their attention these days.

F.A. Hayek won the Nobel Prize for showing how central banks' manipulation of interest rates creates the boom-bust cycle with which we are sadly familiar. In 1932, in the depths of the Great Depression, he described the foolish policies being pursued in his day - and which are being proposed, just as destructively, in our own:

"Instead of furthering the inevitable liquidation of the maladjustments brought about by the boom during the last three years, all conceivable means have been used to prevent that readjustment from taking place; and one of these means, which has been repeatedly tried though without success, from the earliest to the most recent stages of depression, has been this deliberate policy of credit expansion."

"To combat the depression by a forced credit expansion is to attempt to cure the evil by the very means which brought it about; because we are suffering from a misdirection of production, we want to create further misdirection - a procedure that can only lead to a much more severe crisis as soon as the credit expansion comes to an end... It is probably to this experiment, together with the attempts to prevent liquidation once the crisis had come, that we owe the exceptional severity and duration of the depression."

The only thing we learn from history, I am afraid, is that we do not learn from history.

The very people who have spent the past several years assuring us that the economy is fundamentally sound, and who themselves foolishly cheered the extension of all these novel kinds of mortgages, are the ones who now claim to be the experts who will restore prosperity! Just how spectacularly wrong, how utterly without a clue, does someone have to be before his expert status is called into question?

Oh, and did you notice that the bailout is now being called a "rescue plan"? I guess "bailout" wasn't sitting too well with the American people.

The very people who with somber faces tell us of their deep concern for the spread of democracy around the world are the ones most insistent on forcing a bill through Congress that the American people overwhelmingly oppose. The very fact that some of you seem to think you're supposed to have a voice in all this actually seems to annoy them.

I continue to urge you to contact your representatives and give them a piece of your mind. I myself am doing everything I can to promote the correct point of view on the crisis. Be sure also to educate yourselves on these subjects - the Campaign for Liberty blog is an excellent place to start. Read the posts, ask questions in the comment section, and learn.

H.G. Wells once said that civilization was in a race between education and catastrophe. Let us learn the truth and spread it as far and wide as our circumstances allow. For the truth is the greatest weapon we have.

In liberty,
Ron Paul

NJ Dietitian Monopoly Bill - Opposition Testimony

Below is Dian Freeman's report on her testimony before the NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services Committee, in opposition to the pending bill.

If you are from NJ you can contact your legislators here:
http://www.njleg.state.nj.us/members/legsearch.asp

But this problem is being repeated around the country in several other states and is threatened in many more, so here is an Action Item where you can send a message to your local state legislators demanding No Restrictions on Nutritional Free Speech:

http://salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/568/t/1128/campaign.jsp?campaign_KEY=25929
--------------------
I TESTIFIED BEFORE THE ASSEMBLY

By Dian Freeman

I went to speak before the NJ Assembly Health and Senior Services committee Monday, September 15 th in opposition to their bill, A2933, which would make dieticians the sole purveyors of all food and nutrition information. The committee was chaired by one of the sponsors of the bill, Dr. Herb Conaway. His co-sponsor, Connie Wagner, was also present. Under bill A2933, existing practitioners will be banned from working, teaching or lecturing in the field of food, supplements, weight-Loss, or nutrition. (the senate has the same bill called S1941)

The Assembly bill A2933 was passed in committee and it next goes to the Assembly Appropriations Committee for another vote. They do not expect any opposition to it. If it passes in the Appropriations Committee the bill will next go to the whole Assembly for a final vote to be made law. This is projected to occur on October 23rd, barring any delays in passing it.

A similar bill was vetoed over 13 years ago by then Gov. Christie Whitman as being of no benefit to the citizens of New Jersey and because it would cost the state to monitor and to enforce it. If this bill passes the New Jersey voters will be denied their rights then taxed to pay for the enforcement of their loss of freedom.

In our testimonies to the committee on September 15 th it was obvious that they did not see us as opposition. We were simply insignificant to their greater plan which appears to be to push this bill through for the benefit of their special interest, i.e., the medical and pharmaceutical industries...

One of the dieticians read to a spellbound committee from quackwatch.com and said that it is time to let the people of NJ know by licensure of RDs just who are legitimate nutritionists and who are quacks. Her definition of a quack appeared to be anyone not trained as a dietician. She held a copy of and referred to the quack list from quackwatch.com, which must be true, she said, as it was written by a MD. She neglected to mention that the author of quack watch has lost his licensed and is no longer an MD and has been totally debunked and discredited by Ken Bolen (go to www.bolenreport.net).

Quack watch describes anyone who sells or recommends supplements is a quack. The listing is written by one who is defensive and threatened. It is not a list of one with reason. But, to be fair, it is hard to be reasonable about the benefits of drugs and surgery over the benefits of proper food, holistic balance and effective supplementation.

If you are not familiar with quack watch go and read the listing of who they will consider a quack. I am almost every one of them. And proud of it.

According to one of the dieticians who spoke in favor of bill A2933 (at length and uninterrupted), if one is not trained in food science yet claims to know anything about food then they should be prevented from counseling.

I told them I am not trained in science and proud of it. Food is nature, not science. Besides, science is not doing so well in the health area today. Look at their statistics. The Agence de France reported that an independent study in the UK concluded that the U.S comes in dead last in preventive medical care of all industrialized nations. The rates of heart disease and cancer have not improved one iota in spite of chemotherapy and drugging the vast majority of American adults with cholesterol lowering statin drugs. Obesity and diabetes are epidemic and have been growing steadily since the advent of the medically recommended pyramid and their low-fat, high-carb diet that was started about twenty years ago. This is the diet still recommended by dieticians in spite of its obvious failure.



The fact that natural practitioners are such strong competition to medical drugs and surgery is exhibited by the fact that they must license us out of business. This attests to the fact that natural practitioners and effective diet and supplements are having a great positive affect on the health of America.

It is apparent to me that we are not seen as competition to dieticians, who are basically untrained and benign, it was clear in the assembly meeting that we are seen as competition to medicine, to doctors and their drugs. My friends, they are running scared because traditional healing works.

Its time to make a stand, right here, right now in New Jersey the home of big pharma and the arrogance of those in the medical sciences who show a contempt for and disregard of the laws of nature. These are the natural laws, foods and practices that has seen humanity through tens of thousands of years without modern drugs and surgery

None-the-less the Assembly Committee with whom we met is hell-bent on making dieticians the sole source of information on food, food material, supplements, heath, diet, nutrition and weight-loss. Dieticians will not be allowed to recommend supplements beyond those few they have training in. They have as much training in supplements as a medical doctor will allow. They will not recommend organic or fresh local foods. They are sponsored by Wendy's, McDonalds, PepsiCo, etc. Those great purveyors of healthy eating.

Towards us, those who spoke in opposition to bill A2933, the committee chairman was dismissive, contentious and patronizing. We were interrupted, not permitted the time to complete a point we were making and many of the committee members even left the room while we gave our testimony on record This was disconcerting and distracting enough to make some of us leave our best points unsaid.

But, I now have the experience that taught me not to expect to be treated fairly and they will be unable to distract me again. I watched and now understand their game. And, I realized by their attitude that they underestimate the numbers we represented and they underestimate the number of voters who seek us out for help. They are out of touch with their constituency and the fact that thousands depend upon the free flow of natural health information to buy their supplements. The voters of New Jersey will not be happy with the legislators who vote to take free flowing health information away.

If these bills pass, I will inform the appropriations committee to expect that they will need to put on a lot more cops to enforce them. We have grown leaps and bounds in the last few years. Yes, lots of cops will be needed. The natural practitioners in Ohio were harassed and arrested. Long running family businesses were invaded and closed, lives were ruined and it took years to handle all the court cases. There are thousands more of us in New Jersey than there were in Ohio. It will be expensive for the state of New Jersey to enforce these bills.

These bills, as they have been interpreted in other states in which they passed, Ohio being one, would outlaw not only current practicing nutritionists and other natural practitioners but also will outlaw herbalists, acupuncturists, supplement representatives, yoga instructors, personal trainers, massage therapists, etc if they dare speak, teach, consult, practice or lecture about food, food products and nutrition...

The bill states that any one who speaks about weight-loss must have all their diets, claims and materials approved in writing from a dietician before they can continue their business of weight loss. Weight Watchers and Jenny Craig both told us that they have already switched over to dieticians as the authority to dictate their weight loss guidelines. Sure takes away the competitive edge doesn't it? They will all be alike…and just as ineffectual. No one will be able to educate the public about alternative diets like vegan, raw, macrobiotic, high protein, etc.

This bill even would exclude existing nutritionists from practicing. Two such men also spoke in opposition to this bill September 15th. A PhD of Orthomolecular Nutrition was told that his credentials would not be good enough. A doctor who is a Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist who has been in practice for 18 years told the committee that this bill would put him out of business (as it would naturopathic doctors, Ayurvedic doctors and all such practitioners). These men were told by the head of the New Jersey RD association that if they wanted to practice they could still do so just by taking the RD exam and by meeting all the other criteria including working a 900 hour residency supervised by a RD. This doctor was incensed and said he couldn't be out of work for six months to a year to meet that criteria of residency while being supervised by a RD and that there is nothing he could learn from an RD anyway. He said that an RD should be learning from him. And, from all of us, I might add. Anyway, he realized that he is in trouble if this bill passes. As are all Americans.

This is an issue of American freedom of speech and choice. Dr. Conaway and his committee would wish to legislate these away from us on the grounds of protecting us from our own choices.

Sandra Day O'Connor wrote the Supreme Court decision on this very topic in Thompson vs. Western States. She wrote:

“If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last - not first - resort. … 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 [even] bad decisions with the information.”

The “Registered Dietitian Licensing” Bills, A2933 and S 1941 ignore the Supreme Court and the constitution…

The proponents of these bills also argue that all professionals are licensed. Well that is a stretch but it is true many are. However, they are not licensed to exclude all competition. That is both unfair and unconstitutional. Doctors are licensed but other doctors still practice both licensed and unlicensed. There are doctors of chiropractic, homeopathy, Traditional Chinese Medicine, etc. The justifications for stealing our rights to create a medical monopoly just can’t hold water.

How you can help:

1. Contact all your friends, family, clients, students and ex-students and contact all ancillary businesses you can think of that depend upon free flowing information about natural health (including massage therapists, herbalists, health shops, small farmers, organic stores and farmers, crystal practitioners, reiki practitioners, vaccine activists, moms for health, etc. ) to tell them that we are organizing and uniting those who believe in the freedom to be able to continue to choose natural health care and natural products. Ask them to contact me so we can coordinate who is doing what. We will unite individual coalitions with common interests around this cause, Health Freedom.

We stand now, in New Jersey, to unite for the first time. Once and for all…

I see this attempt by Trenton to favor medical science over natural health care as a positive move for the natural health industry. It is a great opportunity for the various natural health fields and businesses to unite and make our presence and our vast numbers known. We have strength in the truth of nature, our constitutional rights, our God given rights and in reason. Now, we will show them our strength in numbers.

Ask all the people that you know who can help us in this cause to contact me if they will march on Trenton with us when this bill comes to a vote in the Assembly. I need names and numbers of those who will commit. We will not plan a march unless we have the commitment of thousands. Please send me your commitment.

2. Contact all your friends, clients, students and ancillary businesses that depend upon free flowing information about natural health to contact me as to the town/district they live in. I need a person or as many persons I can get from each district who will be wiling to go with me to visit their assemblymen to lobby.

3. Contact all your friends, clients, students and ancillary businesses that depend upon free flowing information about natural health to contact me if they can write or take one of the many editorials I have written as their own to inundate the news media with them. Every soul living in NJ must be made aware of the fact that this bill will lead to a ban of all natural health info as it has in the states where is has already passed. The businesses that depend upon free flowing health info will have a decrease in business until they fade away from lack of business. We will be singing, "Where have all the health shops gone?"

Most of the sponsors of these bills are either MDs or work in the medical/pharma industries. Certainly that fact alone gives these bills the appearance of impropriety. Our legislators are forming a medical monopoly on information.

Next, we go district by district exposing these legislators to their voters in this election year and those of the future. Again, NJ voters will not like legislators restricting their food and supplements information.

4. Contact all representatives and manufacturers of supplements and ask them to alert their client and to contact me to coordinate. Ask them to also contact their friends to get on board with this movement and do what they can to help us with information, numbers of people who will march or volunteer and with donations.

5. Make a list for me and ask those who will help us to make a list of all the businesses that support the natural health field and are dependant upon free flowing exchange of natural information for the continuation of their businesses. Ask all representatives of organizations to contact me, for example, personal trainers, yoga instructors, cooking schools, people who have food or supplement businesses in their homes, etc. It is time for the big and small to unite right now. Small practitioners have rights too. All supplement distributors need to be validated as having a right to exist, a right to speak, a right to share information and experiences and a right to choose your own health modalities, including supplements.

Please contact your people by forwarding this email to as many as you can and by following the Emails up with a call. Call all those you know who do not have Email.

Send everyone to www.AmericansRightToBeInformed.com to sign the petition and go on the alert list.

We also need ideas, we need volunteers, we need people to take off from work to march to Trenton with us, we need support in numbers and funds from foundations, organizations and manufacturers.

We need all this quickly. The Assembly will probably vote on this bill, A2933, on the 23rd of October. The senate will be back in session October 2nd and we will not know until then the status of how they will handle their identical bill, S1941. I will keep you posted. Thank you for your support….D.

NJ Dietitians Attack Health Freedom

09/19/08 - UPDATE: NJ Assembly vote postponed until October (6th or 23rd). Maybe it was the 1,000 person parade permit requested from the Trenton PD! Return here for updates & new rally date.

Take Action in all States: tell your Legislators to oppose all restrictions on Nutritional Free Speech:

--------------

Just Say NO to Restrictions on Nutritional Free Speech

Once again, dietitians are seeking a monopoly on speech about nutrition. Although then NJ Governor Christy Todd Whitman vetoed the nutritionist's certification bill in the late '90s, they are at it again, seeking to forbid anyone but themselves speaking about nutrition.

Remember, the US Supreme Court held as recently as 2002 (in Thompson v Western States) that "If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last - not first - resort. ... 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."

Such a monopoly would be illegal if adopted, and no doubt result in litigation. So why is the State seriously considering this step? Read our guest blogger below,

Subject: NJ Bill Alert- I went to the Assembly meeting-They called us quacks
To: ralph.fucetola@usa.net

Hi Ralph, I wanted to remind you about the bill proposed in the NJ Legislature. It is called A2933 in the Assembly and S1941 in the Senate. It will do for the pharmaceutical companies what codex is not doing. They will not need codex any more if they pass this bill. It will disallow all dialogue on natural products and health methods from any source but from dietitians who are not trained in any of them and who are nothing but the mouthpiece of the medical establishment. They receive millions each year from their sponsors from the fast food industry. Some of their sponsors are McDonalds, Taco Bell, Pepsico, Crisco, etc.

Lets stop it right here and right now. Please try to rally people join us and consider joining us for a freedom march on Trenton next week, Thursday at 8am…bring music. Lets party in front of the state house. This is my latest alert:

Hi all, I went to speak before the NJ Assembly committee yesterday, Monday, in opposition to their bill A2933 which would make dietitians the sole purveyors on all food and nutrition information. The committee was chaired by one of the sponsors of the bill, Dr. Herb Conaway. Under bill A2933, existing practitioners, even naturally trained doctors, will be banned from working in the field of food or nutrition.

It was passed in committee and next goes to the Assembly Floor for vote. They do not expect any opposition to it. In our testimonies to the committee yesterday it was plain that they did not see us as opposition. We were simply insignificant to their greater plan which appears to be to push this bill through for the benefit of their special interest, i.e., the medical and pharmaceutical industries..

THEY CALLED US ALL QUACKS

The head of the dietitians in NJ read from quackwatch.com and said that it is time to let the people of NJ know by licensure of RDs just who are legitimate nutritionists and who are quacks. Her definition of a quack is anyone not trained as a dietitian. She held a copy of and referred to the quack list from quackwatch.com, which must be "true," she said, as it was written by a MD. [Note from R Fucetola: for the real story about the quackwatch gang, take a look at Tim Bolen's www.bolenreport.net -- these people have an agenda that always supports Big Pharma and always denigrates Health Freedom.]

It says that anyone who sells or recommends supplements is a quack. The listing is written by one who is defensive and threatened. It is not a list of one with reason. But, to be fair, it is hard to be reasonable about the benefits of drugs and surgery over the benefits of proper food, holistic balance and effective supplementation.

If you are not familiar with quack watch then go and read the listing of who they will consider a quack. I am almost every one of them. And proud of it.

According to the head of NJ dietitians who spoke yesterday, in length (uninterrupted) if one is not trained in food science yet claims <> <> <> <> <> <> <> to know anything about food, then, they are a quack. I told them I am not trained in science and proud of it. Food is nature, not science. Besides, science is not doing so well in the health area today. Look at their stats. Attached are a few attachments I included with my testimony yesterday. Copy them and pass them out. You may <> <> delete my heading and put yours. I don't care, just remember them and use them.

The fact that we are such strong competition to their drugs and surgery is exhibited by the fact that they must license us into oblivion and off this earth. This attests to the fact that we are having a great positive affect on the health of America. Good for us. We are not seen as competition to dietitians, they are basically untrained and benign, it was clear yesterday that we are seen as competition to medicine. To doctors and their drugs.

My friends, they are running scared. I say, let's chase them!

Its time to make a stand, right here right now in New Jersey the home of big pharma and paramount in arrogance of those in the medical sciences who show a contempt for and disregard of the laws of nature..

The Assembly Committee with whom we met is hell-bent on making dietitians the sole source of information on food, food material, supplements, heath, diet, nutrition and weight-loss. They passed bill A2933 to be forwarded to the entire Assembly for final vote on Thursday, September 25th.

Towards us, they were dismissive, contentious and patronizing. We were interrupted, not permitted the time to complete a point we were making and many of the committee members even left the room while those of us who are opposed to this bill gave our testimony on record . They underestimate the numbers we represented. They underestimate the number of people who seek us out for help.

This bill would outlaw not only current practicing nutritionists and other natural practitioners but also will outlaw herbalists, acupuncturists, supplement representatives, yoga instructors, personal trainers, massage therapists, etc if they dare speak, teach, consult, practice or lecture about food, food products and nutrition...

It states in the bill, explicitly, that no one but a registered dietician can speak about food or food materials, nutrition, supplements, diet or weight-loss. It will be hard for a massage therapist or a personal trainer to do their job without speaking on food and energy supplements. It will be pretty hard for anyone, even weight-watchers, to do their job without speaking about food and weight-loss. The bill states that they will have to have all their claims and materials approved in writing from a dietitian before that can continue their business of weight loss.

This bill even would exclude existing nutritionists from practicing. Two such men also spoke in opposition to this bill yesterday. A PhD of Orthomolecular Nutrition was told that his credentials would not be good enough. A doctor who is a Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist who has been in practice for 18 years told the committee that this bill would put him out of business (as it would naturopathic doctors, Ayurvedic doctors and all such practitioners).

These men were told by the head of the New Jersey RD association that if they wanted to practice they could still do so just by taking the RD exam and by meeting all the other criteria including working a 900 hour residency supervised by a RD. This doctor was incensed and said he couldn't be out of work for six months to a year to meet that criteria of residency while being supervised by a RD and that there is nothing he could learn from an RD anyway. He said that an RD should be learning from him. And, from all of us, I might add. Anyway, he realized that he is in trouble if this bill passes. As is all America.

This is an issue of American freedom of speech and choice. Dr. Conaway and his committee would wish to legislate these from us.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU IS:

1. For you to contact all your friends, clients, students and ex-students and contact all ancillary businesses you can think of that depends upon free flowing information about natural health (including massage therapists, herbalists, health shops, small farmers, organic stores and farmers, crystal practitioners, reiki practitioners, vaccine activists, moms for health, etc. ) to tell them that we are organizing and uniting those who believe in the freedom to be able to continue to choose natural health care and natural products. Ask them to contact me so we can coordinate who is doing what.

We stand now, in New Jersey, to unite for the first time. Once and for all…

I believe this is the time to assert our legitimacy and make ourselves known as a united group who believes in the American right to free speech, to be informed and to do business. I see this attempt by Trenton to favor medical science over natural health care as a positive. It is a great opportunity for the various natural health fields and industries to unite and make our presence and our vast numbers known. We have strength in the truth of nature, our constitutional rights, our God given rights and in reason. Now, we must show them our strength in numbers.

Ask all you think can help us in this cause to contact me if they will march on Trenton with us when this bill comes to a vote in the Assembly on the 25th. I will try today to get a permit for that day. I need names and numbers of those who will commit. We must have thousands of people. We will not plan a march unless we have the commitment of thousands. Send me your commitment.

2. Contact all your friends, clients, students and ancillary businesses that depend upon free flowing information about natural health to contact me as to the town/district they live in. I need access to their representatives and I need a person or as many persons I can get from each district who will be wiling to go with me to visit their assemblymen to lobby.

3. Contact all your friends, clients, students and ancillary businesses that depend upon free flowing information about natural health to contact me as to the town/district they live in. I need those who will write or take one of the many editorials I have written as their own to inundate the news media with them. Every soul living in NJ needs to be made aware of the fact that this bill will lead to a total ban of all natural health info. The businesses that depend upon free flowing health info will have a decrease in business until they fade away from lack of business. This appears to be the true intent of this effort by the medical/pharma industries. The sponsors of these bill are either MDs or work in the medical/pharma industries. Certainly that fact alone gives the bills the appearance of impropriety. Next, we will go district by district exposing these legislators to their voters. .

4. Contact all reps and manufacturers of supplements and ask them to contact me. I wish to ask them to contact their friend and client list to get on board with this movement and do what they can to help us with information, numbers of people who will march or volunteer and with donations. I wish to hire a professional lobbyist and sue the pants off that president of the dietitians association for slander. Her words are a matter of record in an assembly committee in the form of testimony. She lied in her testimony many times. She told "stories" about the people she knows who went to hospitals from taking supplements. And one who went into kidney failure from supplements. I would like to have her prove that case in court or issue a statement apologizing for her slander.

Dietitians will not be allowed to recommend supplements beyond those few they have training in. They have as much training in supplements as a medical doctor will allow. They will not recommend organic or fresh local foods. They are sponsored by Wendy's, McDonalds, PepsiCo, etc.

5. Make a list for me and ask those who will help us to make a list of all the businesses that support the natural health field and are dependent upon free flowing exchange of natural information for the continuation of their businesses. Ask all representatives of organizations to contact me, for example, personal trainers, yoga instructors, cooking schools, people who have food or supplement businesses in their homes, etc.

We need the big and small to unite right now. You small practitioners have rights too. You and supplement distributors need to be validated as having a right to exist, a right to speak, a right to share information and experiences and a right to choose your own health modalities, including supplements.

A dietitian, even if renamed by this bill as a nutritionist, will not be allowed to and will not have the training to recommend other natural health modalities. They, like doctors will teach the public that we are quacks. The president of the NJ Dietitians Association brought a copy of quack watch and read passages. Anyone who is not a dietitian will be designated, legally, as quacks - if they dare to speak about food, nutrition, etc.

Please contact your people by forwarding this email to as many as you can and by following the Emails up with a call. Call all those you know who do not have Email.

We also need ideas, we need volunteers, we need people to take off from work to march to Trenton with us (otherwise they may not have a job in the future), we need support in numbers and funds from foundations, organizations and manufacturers. We need all this quickly. The Assembly will vote on this bill, A2933, on the 25th of this month. The senate will be back in session October 2nd and we will not know until then the status of how they will handle their identical bill, S1941. I will keep you posted.

Thank you for your support….D.

At a minimum true Health Freedom requires the free flow of truthful and not misleading information about these matters of personal concern. That's why Justice Sandra Day O'Connor wrote in Thompson v. Western States Medical Center, decided on April 29, 2002 - 535 U.S. 357:

"If the First Amendment means anything, it means that regulating speech must be a last - not first - resort."

"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."

"Even if the Government did argue that it had an interest in preventing misleading advertisements, this interest could be satisfied by the far less restrictive alternative of requiring ... a warning that the [product] had not undergone FDA testing and that its risks were unknown."

Without such free and open access to commercial information, part of the Free Speech guaranteed by the First Amendment to the Constitution for the united States of America, we are not adults making decisions about our own bodies and health, but rather supplicants begging political and medical high priests for permission to live.

So it is with Food as it is with all such matters. Without truthful and not misleading information about the Food offered to us on the marketplace, we cannot be free consumers.

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs) are novel bacteria, fungi, yeasts, plants and animals, created by genetic engineering and cross-species manipulation, not produced by the slower and millennia-proven procedures of breeding and hybridization. These new products with their novel proteins and unknown threats offer a clear example of the need to apply what is called the Precautionary Principle: do not do what may cause unintended and unpredictable consequences.

Rather than apply that rational principle, the US FDA, supported by executive orders, "deems" GMO products safe and does not require GMO labeling. It goes one step further, forbidding, against the Thompson Doctrine, "GMO Free" labeling!

Earlier this year, despite US demands at Codex Alimentarius (World Food Code) meetings that GMO labeling be removed from the agenda, thereby permitting international trade in unlabeled GMO products, the Europeans and informal Coalition of Health Conscious Nations rebelled, refusing to remove GMO labeling from the agenda. At the same time, Codex's parent organizations, WHO and FAO announced that it was necessary to be able to trace GMO ingredients, in case they cause harm, and such traceability, of course, requires labeling...

Earlier this week Congressman Dennis Kuchinch Congressman introduced three bills designed to protect consumers, defend farmers' rights, and increase food safety.

• H.R. 6636, The Genetically Engineered Food Right To Know Act, would require mandatory labeling of all foods that contain or are produced with GM material.

• H.R. 6635, The Genetically Engineered Safety Act, would require that GE foods follow a food safety review process to prevent contamination of food supplies by pharmaceutical and industrial crops. This Act would also require that the FDA screen all GE foods to ensure they are safe for human consumption.

• H.R. 6637, The Genetically Engineered Farmer Protection Act, places liability from the impacts of GM crops on the biotechnology companies that created the GMOs, and protects farmers from lawsuits by biotechnology companies.

I sent the following email to Congressman Kuchinich's Legislative Aide:

"Dear Ms. Veith,

Thank you for your time this morning and the useful discussion of the three important bills Congressman Kuchinich has introduced regarding GMOs.

The Natural Solutions Foundation, founded in 2004, is an international NGO (Non Governmental Organization) active and registered in several countries and is a not for profit 501(C )(3) tax exempt organization in the United States. The Mission of the Foundation is to discover, develop, demonstrate and disseminate natural solutions to the problems facing us and threatening our health and freedom, achieving and maintaining a healthy self, community and world. Since its founding the Natural Solutions Foundation has pursued a vigorous program on many fronts, including natural solutions to significant social problems involving health and wellness. We have over one hundred seventy thousand people on our supporter list. We consider health freedom to be part of those solutions. The threats to health and freedom are both domestic and international, as are the solutions. Among our primary concerns are: Codex Alimentarius (World Food Code), Mandated Vaccinations and Genetically Modified Organisms.

The bills that have been introduced appear to be very close to what we've been urging in regard to GMOs and we want to educate the public and Congress about them. What we will do is to include and "Action Item" in eblasts to our list, which, with forwarding, are read by potentially millions of people (on occasion the Alexis rating for our web site - http://www.HealthFreedomUSA.org - has reached about 15,000th among all Us web sites).

Per your suggestion that Action Item will allow our supporters to tell their Congresspeople to become co-sponsors of the bills. This important first step will be followed in the next Congress by support for hearings and support for the adoption of the bills. We expect to be able to generate about 100,000 messages to Congress about these bills, to bring them to Mr. Kuchinich's colleagues' attention."

So get ready... Freedom requires eternal vigilance.
