Is this a violation of the First Amendment? Or an advertisement to sell a

raw food book?

 

Following is an extraction on the book from " The Medical Racket " Wade

Frazer's website at:

 

http://home1.gte.net/res0k62m/medicine.htm

 

" That booklet saved my father's life. The mail stop order made it illegal to

send it through the U.S. mail system, effectively banning it in America. In

effect, it was similar to the Nazi/Catholic book burnings. Using the U.S.

Post office is an effective tactic to wipe out alternative health

practitioners. It is only one weapon in the medical establishment's arsenal,

but it is an effective one.

 

One million people per year in America die of vascular disease, and our

dietary and health habits are nearly solely responsible for it. The most

obvious factors are things such as smoking tobacco and drinking alcohol, but

diet may be responsible for most of it.

 

In short, our bodies are designed to eat live food, as are all animals. We

are the only animal that eats dead food, and the diseases we fall prey to

are almost unique in the animal kingdom, particularly in their frequency.

Living processes provide the nutrition that we get from food. When food is

killed, those life processes cease, and it begins decomposing. Enzymes,

vitamins and other vital substances can rapidly decompose. When humanity

ventured out of its natural range in the tropics, we eventually learned to

domesticate plants and animals and preserve food in order to survive the

seasons. We have done it so long that it is taken for granted, yet it is not

a natural or ideal process.

 

We have huge industries based upon food processing, and through their wealth

and power they have completely obscured the issue of how harmful dead food

is to human biology. It is related to the corruption of medical science

discussed in this site's fluoridation essay. In the materialistic and

reductionistic way that modern science has defined nutrition, a bowl of

shredded cardboard sprayed with vitamins (which is close to describing most

breakfast cereals) can be more nutritious than a bowl of fresh strawberries "

 

Here is an excerpt form the mail stop order judgement:

 

" Although I found that the booklet (Stale Food vs. Fresh Food) contained

some helpful suggestions and its author, Mr. Robert Ford, is a knowledgeable

and sincere person (i.e. no intent to defraud), I found the representations

in the Respondent's booklet to be unproven and contrary to the weight of

informed medical and scientific opinion. As indicated by Dr.___, (the only

U.S. Post Office medical witness) a danger of this publication is that it

will deceive people who have arterio-sclerotic problems into believing that

they can cure these problems by diet alone instead of seeking medical (AMA)

help. Because the ads and this booklet contain materially false

representations, they violate the provisions of 39 US Code Section 3005.

Therefore...a mail stop order...should be issued... " - E.S. Bernstein,

Administrative Law Judge, (1982). "

Imagine a country which likes to think it is the standard of democracy but

still can do this so blatantly. While we have been fed the illusion of

freedom of speech - the trick is to let us have this freedom of speech but

then turn around and just ignore it and continue business as usual. And we

think we are better off than those terrorist countries. What a scam.
