beyondhom US-urgent action alert

This came today from the (US) National Center for Homeopathy.

I'm not able to open the link (between the green bars), but there's background and presumably a path to it at < http://plan.nccam.nih.gov/ >

This seems important to speak up on! Note at the NCCAM page they write: " ... Mission is closely connected to priority setting, which in turn hinges on impact, which leads to the questions of who knows, who cares, and who is listening ..." We have to let them know that *lots* of us know, care, and are listening!!

URGENT ACTION ALERT!!!

ADVOCATING HOMEOPATHY for MAINSTREAM HEALTHCARE

Dear NCH members,

You have an opportunity until November 19, 2009 to participate in what may be the most important decision for homeopathy and the integrative practice community in the next decade. It will certainly be your one chance to participate in a $600-million question, namely:

How should NCCAM prioritize its spending for the years 2011-2015? NCCAM (National Center for Complimentary and Alternative Medicine - a division of the National Institutes of Health) is the primary source of government research funds for this field. Let NCCAM know the kinds of research you think NCCAM should fund today. And tell your friends to comment as well. This one is VERY important.

We need to be heard! If you would like to support this objective, please post your comments before Thursday, November 19 at

NCCAM Strategic Plan: 2010 [NCCAM Health Information.
