US gov)

 

Hi, Maryann, and hi ALL other 1,741 members(at last count)of this

board!

 

Members, I apologize for the place in which I SCREAM in this

message,

but once in a while, things NEED to be SCREAMED. I do not, and I am

sure you do not, want to end up dis-eased, decrepit and in an " old

age home " one day because not enough of us told Congress where to

get

off when they began to think about restricting our access to health

supplements! i do not, and I am sure you do not, want to see a sick

loved one die because all that were available to him for treatment

were harmful and ineffective pharmaceuticals and other mainstream

treatment.

 

Maryann, you wrote: " hope these sites never go down "

 

Well, " hope " is wonderful, and you meant it kindly, but " hope " is

just is not enough.

 

You also wrote: " don't trust doctors at all "

 

Well, yeah! Most of us don't, and from what Mark posted recently, it

looks as if they are giving us a HUGE reason to trust them still

less, in that they are lobbying Congress to enact laws that will

greatly restrict people's access to vitamins, supplements and even

to

sites like this!

 

I have found that there is very little discussion about topics and

suggestions posted on the board, and that is fine since that appears

to be the nature of this board---a place devoted more to getting

information out than to chatting about it. Now here comes the scream:

 

BUT GOOD HEAVENS, I CERTAINLY WOULD LIKE TO THINK THAT EVEN THOUGH

THERE MAY NOT BE RESPONSES ON THE BOARD FROM MEMBERS SAYING, " OK,

MARK---I'VE DONE IT, AND THANKS! " , THAT EVERY ONE OF OUR 1,741

MEMBERS WILL TAKE THE SCANT 15 SECONDS IT TAKES TO ACCESS THE LINK

MARK GAVE AND TO SEND OFF THAT LETTER ABOUT NOT LIMITING ACCESS TO

HEALTH SUPPLEMENTS TO ALL THEIR REPRESENTATIVES! IF WE DON'T TAKE

THE

TIME TO DO THAT, WE DESERVE WHATEVER THE AMA AND CONGRESS DISHES OUT

TO US! LET'S GET OFF OUR DUFFS AND DO IT NOW!!!

 

Here again is the link Mark provided:

 

http://capwiz.com/nnfa/issues/alert/?alertid=4089036

 

I further hope we will all FORWARD Mark's message to any and all

persons we think would be willing to send the letter to their own

represenatives.

 

If anyone does not understand where I am coming from with this

message, please REFERENCE messages 20785 and 20797.

 

Thank you again for this board, Frank!

 

Blessed wishes to all,

Hi Ykcul_ritsym!

 

Relax, take a deep breath. Representative Harris' office tells me that the

acupuncture/medicare bill needs 100 co-sponsors to be reported out of

committee. It has 42. These bills you are talking about have far, far less,

maybe 11 out of the hundred needed. Screaming won't help at this point. A

personal note to your own representative, without the hysteria, may be

somewhat more effective. Looking at the link, it looks like the Rs are more

our friends than the Ds, if I'm reading it right.

 

I understand that the new medicare bill being prepared for introduction in

the future may have some provision for acupuncture, but the details are so

far unavailable. I have no more information than this.

I believe this to be generally true. Even though there are generous

campaign contributions from businesses, Rs, (Representatives) often have a

conscious and don't always vote with the contributors. Think back to the 90's

in the

US.

If we educate the R's as to what safe, effective and inexpensive options

we have to drugs, we will gain much.

Hi Pete. I only posted this for the easy contacts that people can use. I'm not a

big screamer advocate either. Glad to see this is being followed, as allegiances

and proposals will be shifting and contention over who will be the Health Care

Czars will come to a head in the next two years. Just gotta explain over and

over, and show the benefits of these profound, elegant, sophisticated, gentle

methods we use.

Hi Chris!

 

Acronyms are confusing and I fell into the trap. R (Republicans), D

(Democrats), sorry for not being clear.

Hi Ykcul_ritsym!

 

I think we stand a better chance with the Republicans than the Democrats.

The Ds are into this world government nonsense and things in Europe are

very hostile to natural medicine and supplements in my opinion. IF the US

retains its sovereignty I think Washington DC will be much more responsive

to us than some unfamiliar super-government. To this end I am working on

the Bush campaign and the Harris campaign as well.

 

I pity the acupuncturists, herbalists and other natural healers in Europe -

looks like things are going to get bad for them.
