Seattle Mother Arrested for Kidnapping Her Own Baby to Seek Alternative Trea

[Guest guest]

What I fail to understand, is why countries and their peoples are

just sitting back and letting these things continue. Didn't they learn

anything at all from the last world war?

Seek Alternative Treatments

Public trust in conventional medicine has plummeted to such an all-time low

that the industry is now resorting to the threat of violence in order to market

its services. Gunpoint medicine is alive and well in Seattle, Washington,

where county law enforcement officers, prompted by Child Protective Services

(CPS), arrested and jailed 34-year-old Tina Marie Carlsen for her " crime " of

rescuing her infant from overzealous hospital staff who demanded they perform

kidney surgery on the infant.

 

Terrorized by the incident, charged with second-degree kidnapping of her own

child, and threatened with bail of $500,000, Tina Carlsen was jailed for

several days, during which she was unable to provide lifesaving mother's milk to

her baby (which is crucial for a child's brain and immune system). She has still

not been allowed physical contact with her infant son.

 

Carlsen's child was taken from her by CPS after she refused to drug her

infant with doctor-prescribed medications in preparation for surgery to implant

kidney dialysis devices. She was also reportedly threatened by a nephrologist (a

kidney specialist), who, according to relatives, demanded, " You do what I tell

you to do, or I will have the police at the door, taking that baby from you. "

 

 

And that's exactly what happened: The doctor called CPS which won a court

battle to take custody of the child based entirely on Carlsen's refusal to

submit

the child to conventional surgery. When Carlsen rescued her own child from

the Children's Hospital and Regional Medical Center, a statewide Amber Alert was

issued, which mobilized law enforcement to arrest the mother. Initially, the

alert claimed the child was in " imminent danger, " but this was later

contradicted by hospital staff members who issued a statement admitting the

child was

not in imminent danger.

 

" This mother's rights have been annihilated, " said Kelly Meinig, the

president of Citizens for Safe Birth, a non-profit consumer health organization.

" What's so scary is this could happen to any of us. All this family wanted was

the

ability to make an informed decision. "

 

Gunpoint medicine

 

This incident is the latest example of state-sponsored medical terrorism

where parents who do not submit to narrowly defined " treatments " promoted by

conventional medicine are branded as criminals, arrested at gunpoint, jailed and

forcibly separated from their children by CPS. A previous case of medical

terrorism involved a Texas teenager who was kidnapped by authorities and forced

to

undergo toxic chemotherapy treatments that her parents desperately insisted on

avoiding.

 

Conventional medicine, characterized by toxic pharmaceuticals, radical

surgical procedures, rampant bribery, corruption and relentless disease

mongering

and " sick care " profiteering, is increasingly being enforced by gunpoint in the

United States. Parents who wish to protect their children from the dangers of

chemotherapy, surgery or dangerous prescription drugs may find themselves

accused of kidnapping their own children simply by rescuing them from the hands

of

surgeons and oncologists who stand to profit from every procedure performed.

 

The threat of violence is not foreign to the promoters of conventional

medicine, as the FDA has been the architect of several armed raids against

doctors,

nutritional supplement companies and even a church. Such raids include the " B

vitamin " raid on the clinic of Dr. Jonathan Wright, the " CoQ10 " raid on

Highland Laboratories, the El Cajon pet food store raid (the owner committed the

" crime " of saying that vitamins were good for pets) and multiple, armed

" terror-style " raids against the Life Extension Foundation, among many others.

The FDA

has confiscated " dangerous " products like flaxseed oil, herbal tea, vitamin C

and CoQ10, all in its quest to save the public from the terrible dangers of

nutritional medicine.

 

Disrupts profits, go to jail

 

Far from being an industry that seeks to help patients, modern-day medicine

is a profit-seeking industry that depends on sustained sickness to generate

profits for drug companies, hospitals and diagnostic equipment manufacturers.

Police officers, Sheriffs and even U.S. Marshals are routinely recruited by

conventional medicine " enforcers " to terrorize selected targets in order to send

a

message to the rest of the population that they must submit to the treatments

of conventional medicine, even when such treatments are provably harmful to

patients or based on fraudulent science and deceptive marketing claims.

 

The tactics of such campaigns mirror those of terrorist cells, which rely on

violence or the threat of violence to achieve a political goal.

 

Similarly, the Bush Administration, through its so-called " New Freedom

Initiative on Mental Health " hopes to impose mandatory mental health screening

on

all U.S. children -- a thinly-veiled attempt to boost Big Pharma profits even

further by drugging millions of children with expensive psychotropic drugs,

including amphetamines like Ritalin and antidepressant drugs known to promote

suicidal behavior.

 

Consumer backlash gains strength

 

The use of these tactics helps explain why critics of conventional medicine

describe these times as, " The Dark Ages of medicine. " FDA actions are

increasingly seen as oppressive and even tyrannical by an increasing number of

patients

and doctors, and the public's trust of pharmaceutical companies, who have

been caught inventing fictitious diseases and misleading federal regulators

about

drug safety trials, is at an all-time low.

 

A consumer backlash against the Police State tactics of conventional medicine

is gaining momentum as people and lawmakers alike realize that no American is

truly free if they are not free to choose a system of medicine that they

believe offers them the most effective solutions for health challenges. Rep. Ron

Paul (R-Tx) has introduced the Health Freedom Protection Act (H.R. 4282), a

bill that would help rein in the censorship of the FDA and finally allow

nutritional supplement manufacturers to tell the truth about the

scientifically-validated health benefits of their products (See FDA tyranny and

the censorship of

cherry health facts to learn more.) Other health freedom efforts now underway

include campaigns to ban direct-to-consumer drug advertising and end the

monopoly on drug prices. Organizations such as the Life Extension Foundation and

Commercial Alert are supporting grassroots efforts to end the FDA's reign of

terror, while many of the FDA's own drug safety scientists like Dr. David Graham

are working from inside the agency to affect meaningful reform.

 

While the arrest and prosecution of Tina Carlsen is a clear example of an

out-of-control system of medicine that continues to be enforced at gunpoint,

Carlsen may one day be seen as the Rosa Parks of health freedom. She was the

mother who dared to rescue her baby from the scalpels of overzealous surgeons,

and

her incarceration reveals the blatant truth about the motives of hospitals,

doctors and the entire system of modern medicine: Comply with our medicine, or

we will punish you.

 

As is being pointed out by many critics of Carlsen's treatment, the idea of

whether her baby's condition demanded urgent medical care is not relevant. It

is the right and responsibility of every parent to choose what kind of

treatment their child should receive, even if certain health experts disagree

with

such a decision. The State is not the parent, and any State that would use the

threat of violence to enforce the profiteering medical treatments of powerful

corporations is an unjust State.
