Dear Friends, I have been recently made aware of Bill C51 http://www.stopc51.com/ and what I learned prompted me to write this email. All too often in this life we are herded like sheep in regards to following the rules and expectations set out by society. We have put so much trust and faith into our government and medical system that I feel we, as a society, have stopped asking questions and researching what is best for ourselves. We have become too trusting and have allowed prescription drugs to become a mainstream part of our lives. I am writing this because there was a time in my life where I had to make a decision: either do as I was advised by very highly educated and respected doctors, or literally take my life into my own hands and make my own decisions about my health choices. I would like to clarify that I am not against our government or doctors. I am only asking… or should I say pleading that we make it our own responsibility to educate ourselves about our own health conditions. Ask questions, research, look for non-pharmaceutical alternatives. No one cares about you more than you do! So let us become proactive in our own health. The following statements are of a personal nature, and refer to my own beliefs and or opinions. I would like to clarify that I am not giving medical advice or implying that what is good for me will also work for you. If all I do by writing this is make you think about what you are allowing into your body, then this email will be all worthwhile. My personal Pharma story starts here. As many of you know, in June of 1992, I was injected with the HIV virus. When I found out what had happened, my doctor referred me to specialist doctors at the hospital where I underwent many tests. They did X-rays and took numerous vials of my blood. After the test results came back, the HIV specialist informed me that things did not look very good and that my T4 cell count was very low. When I asked him for his prognosis, he said, "You have three years of health left at most." He advised me to make a will and not to start any long-term projects, as I might not be able to complete them. Shortly thereafter, I was a victim of an assault and found myself in the hospital for surgery. The same doctor came to my bedside. He had conferred with two other doctors and the consensus was that I should immediately start taking a drug called AZT. They assured me that it was quite safe and that I should take it for three years followed by other drug cocktails. There were more than a dozen medicines, such as ddi, ddC, d4T, 3Tc and so on. We as taxpayers pay for these very expensive and toxic pharmaceutical drugs — for the patient they are free. Trusting the highly biomedical establishment-educated doctors, I started on the $3,000 a month taxpayer-funded regime of colorful pills. After taking these pills, I started to question what I was putting into my body. I wanted desperately to educate myself and do some more research on the subject. What I found startled me. Here are some of the facts:
I then asked the question, "Why would anyone take a drug that is itself an immune depressant for the disease of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome?" With this knowledge, I returned to the doctor and handed him a brown paper bag filled with unopened bottles with the name Glaxo Wellcome (the name of the pharmaceutical company that makes AZT). The word 'Wellcome' still sticks in my mind — welcome to what? The doctor was livid that I would go against his "learned" advice and angrily told me that I was taking my life in my own hands. I replied, "Thank you; that is exactly what I am doing!" June 2008 will be the 16th anniversary of my HIV infection. All this time I have lived a productive and happy life in perfect health. Had I trusted the advice of my "Pharma-Educated" (Pharma-brainwashed?) HIV specialist, I would have cost the system close to a million dollars by swallowing toxic cocktails, 8 to 12 pills a day for 15 years — not to mention the mandated regular hospital visits and costly blood tests (T4, CD4, Viral Load, etc.). I often wonder what my life would be like had I blindly listened to my doctors and swallowed all those toxic compounds, every single day for all those years. Would I still be alive today? In July 2002 researchers at the 14th Annual World AIDS Conference revealed that the leading cause of death among HIV-positive Americans is liver failure from AIDS drug treatment. http://www.theothersideofaids.com Even if I were to get sick or die right now, I would have already far surpassed my doctor's grim prognosis by thirteen years — without any strain on our medical system and with a far superior quality of life. I was fortunate to find independent thinking doctors that do not believe the drug lies. These brave and intelligent doctors cannot speak out for fear of losing their license. Why is it that our doctors do not have the freedom to speak out against something they believe to be harmful to our health? Does this not go against the Hippocratic Oath that all doctors must swear by? How can it be that our doctors do not have free speech? Is it not in our constitution to have that right? I stay healthy by being active in sports, sleeping well, loving life, thinking positive thoughts, drinking herbal teas made with distilled water and eating fresh organic foods. I also do some other things (Colloidal Silver, Sine Wave Currents, etc.) that would take too long to explain in this email. Things I avoid are negativity, foods such as milk, soft drinks, MSG, too much sugar, salt, all factory processed items, junk food, toxic household cleaners and so on. These are things that I and millions like me do for optimum health and not just because of a diagnosis. Because our soil and food are no longer the same and the toxicity of the entire planet continues to increase, I also take health and immune-enhancing enzymes, minerals and vitamin supplements. This is a huge and fast growing industry and I do not find it surprising that pharmaceutical corporations are trying to control it. By me knowing how to stay healthy without the help of our medical establishment's drugs for the last 16 years, they have already lost one million dollars in drug sales from me, one single person. It is a simple fact that healthy people are bad for the share prices of pharmaceutical corporations. I find it outrageous that our government supports legalized drug pushers. They will freely give you one million dollars' worth of dangerously toxic pharmaceuticals. At the same time, you will not get a penny for far safer, healing things like food supplements, cleansing products, minerals, vitamins, massages or anything that supports and enhances health. They even tax those items! It is time we get to the truth, as there are many real alternative cures for a plethora of chronic diseases. Our health is our responsibility; I urge you to research, read, question and investigate everything and anything you hear… even the words I am writing in this letter. We spend so much time claiming we want to be healthy. We try to eat right; we exercise and attempt to educate ourselves to lead long and healthy lives. Then why do we simply believe that prescription drugs will help us without knowing anything about them? We are in charge of our own happiness and I truly hope that each one of you will summon enough courage to ask yourselves, "What am I putting into my body?" I am not against science or medicine and of course, I believe that medicine helps people sometimes; but what I am saying is that sometimes it does more harm than health. If our choices are lessened by not having herbal remedies as an option, where will this leave us? It looks as though it leaves us solely with pharmaceuticals. Do not sit back and watch as our freedom to choose is robbed from us. You have the chance to make a difference: will you take it? If you read Bill C51 you will clearly see how corrupt Health Canada (under pressure from "Big Pharma") is. Criminalizing vitamins and herbs is against the best interest of Canadians. I cannot stay quiet because our freedom of choice is under attack. The C51 mess is serious and we need to act by sending the message to corrupt bureaucrats that we will not just stand by helplessly. Please feel free to forward this email to as many people as possible. There are rallies in different cities. The one in Edmonton is next Saturday, May 10 from 12 to 3 PM at Gazebo Park on 103 Street and 84 Avenue, outside of Strathcona Farmers Market. Please attend and forward this email to your friends so that there will be large enough numbers to be taken seriously. In closing, I would like to share this web page with you. Live, love life and prosper — with the freedom to choose. Sincerely, |
