http://www.thinktwice.com/stories2.htm internet sites, such as this one, provide centralised points for people to share stories about vaccine damage and a whole host of other adverse reactions to pharmaceutical products. The stories are often remarkably similar as you will see if you visit others, for example http://www.talkaboutcuringautism.org/medical/hannah-poling- significance-for-families.htm www.impossiblecure.org A mother discovers homeopathy for autistic son http://www.medalerts.org/vaersdb/findfield.php?PAGENO=1&PERPAGE=10&VA X=HPV4 An attempt to stress to the public and their doctors the importance of sharing info on adverse vaccine reactions
http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/story/7395411/deadly_immunity/ Meanwhile drug companies are often “economical with the truth”! (Article) Neither the government or the pharmaceutical companies can afford to acknowledge widespread vaccine related conditions such as autism. The policy is denial. ENFORCING MARKET SHARE
If the current medical system was highly effective and popular would it need to be enforced, occasionally at gun point? One of the most disturbing things about the US is that only a handful of States have health freedom (Minnesota, Rhode Island, California and Massachusetts), making it hard in some instances to refuse to have your child vaccinated. http://www.homeopathyworld.com/big_brother.htm this and other issues prompted me to write this article “Big brother is bad for your health”. (Article) Codex Alimentarius is a huge threat to health freedom – it only got a very brief mention from me, but it is very important, so here is much more about what it means for all of us in the documentary “We become silent”:http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=451097355502728465 (Video) NEW APPROACHES CUT COSTS AND RESTORE CHOICE
Some activists are trying to put forward a complete rethink of the whole healthcare system. I mentioned this particular idea during the lecture. All catastrophic incidents are covered and you receive $350 per person per month credit to spend on healthcare. If you like this approach there is a petition that goes with it, currently getting a lot of attention: http://www.healthrevolutionpetition.org/citizensincharge.html (Plan and petition) http://www.healthoffthegrid.com/ is a free e-book that shows how to lower your healthcare insurance costs now and use the money you save to take a more holistic approach to your own health.

CONVENTIONAL MEDICAL RESEARCH – A LOTTERY?

(Article) The motto is “If at first you don’t succeed…”.Drug companies are always happy to repackage a drug that fails to help a particular condition effectively by marketing one of its other unanticipated effects.

“How Homeopathy Works” with Dr.James Oschman.
http://www.innerhealth.us/downloads/TT/2/JOschman_HHW_011208.mp3
http://www.innerhealth.us/downloads/TT/2/JOschman_HHW_0101208.pdf
Dr.James Oschman, Ph.D., is the author of a ground-breaking series of articles on "healing energy" published in the Journal of Bodywork and Movement Therapies. These articles have subsequently been developed into a book, “Energy Medicine: The Scientific Basis” which provides the most skeptical academic scientists with a theoretical basis for exploring the physiology and biophysics of energy medicines. Dr.Oschman's latest book, “Energy Medicine in Therapeutics and Human Performance”, continues this research and exploration. Supporting his work, Dr.Oschman has degrees in Biophysics and Biology from the University of Pittsburgh. He has worked in major research labs around the world. These include Cambridge University in England, Case-Western Reserve University in Cleveland, Ohio, the University of Copenhagen, Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois, where he was on the faculty, and the Marine Biological Laboratory in Woods Hole, where he served as a staff scientist. Dr. Oschman is also one of the founding board members of the Scientific Advisory Board for the National Foundation for Alternative Medicine in Washington, DC. Topic: Dr. Oschman will share his views and research on energy medicine and homeopathy. AVOIDING SUPPRESSION - WHY THINGS ARE BETTER OUT THAN IN All of the stories below are examples of “outside in” medicine. Symptoms are not seen as a healthy attempt by the body to expel internal dis-ease, but rather symptoms (or groups of symptoms) are given Latin labels and are mistakenly treated as if they were the disease. For example, Lumbago: lumb = lumbar region / ago = ache Idiopathic thrombocytopaenia pupura: Idiopathic = unknown suffering where the thrombocytes are lacking causing the skin to discolor (purple) This faulty thinking leads to the idea that symptoms (not the underlying cause of them) need to be eradicated at any price. The symptoms are then eradicated by stopping the expression of them and pushing them back in, leading to deeper and deeper levels of sickness.

SO MUCH TO LEARN, SO LITTLE TIME?
One of the questions Melissa and I are often asked is which bits of the course are optional and which bits “have to be done”. Since you are all motivated adults we don’t see the need for any kind of enforcement. Generally speaking the Surfing guide is for your pleasure and interest. You can follow up on as much or as little as you want to, but do look out for areas where you feel you have a gap in your knowledge and look into those now, whilst you have access to the forum and the live call and can ask us questions. If something is very important, we will usually stress that during our lecture and it will come under the heading HOMEPLAY. Have a great week. Mary Mary Aspinwall, www.homeopathyworld.com
