>

> California is the newest, and biggest, victory for Americans

> against the quackbuster conspiracy (the quackpot menace).

> California, as it does in many social issues, will, in this

> issue, begin the domino effect across America.

>

> The " quackbusters " have lost... it's just a matter of time.

>

> Why? Because quackbuster strategies are back-firing, and their

> tactics have been successfully turned against them. And, Health

> Freedom Fighters outnumber them 100,000 to 1.

>

> How? De-licensed MD Barrett, chief propagandist for the

> " quackbuster " movement in North America, operates his ludicrous

> website www.quackwatch.com, hoping that there are still members

> of the public dumb enough to believe, and take his message

> seriously. Fewer, and fewer Americans are taken in by Barrett's

> drivel.

>

> Barrett, himself, is now following the path of one of his

> lieutenants, Terry Polevoy of Ontario, Canada, into RIDICULE.

> Polevoy, a pimple doctor turned " Alternative Medicine Critic, "

> and Polevoy's virulent website www.healthwatcher.net " was

> recently used by Canadian Health Freedom Fighters as " the epitome

> of the quackbuster movement, " to successfully convince the

> Ontario government to pass their Health Freedom Act. It passed

> UNANIMOUSLY.

>

> Barrett, and his website, are now suffering the same

> finger-pointing as Polevoy, US nationwide. In California, for

> instance, Health Freedom activists point legislators towards

> Barrett's website, and the results aren't following Barrett's

> hopes and intentions. In fact, just the opposite.

>

> Polevoy's photograph was circulated at a Toronto health expo

> recently, where security personnell were ready to remove him from

> the event. Polevoy may be best known in Canada for his

> " stalking " of Canadian radio personality McPhee, until

> police visited him at his home late one night.

> THE CALIFORNIA VICTORY...

>

> The quackbuster influence in California has all but been

> destroyed. California, the seventh largest stand-alone economy

> on planet earth is moving, through it's governing body, to make

> California THE LEADER in leading-edge health care. And here's

> how it's happening...

>

> (1). Senate Bill 2100 in California, passed last year, forced

> the California Medical Board to form a committee and begin a two

> year study of Alternative Medicine under VERY SPECIFIC

> guidelines. Despite an early attempt by quackbuster minions to

> sabotage the study, it is on track and moving in a VERY positive

> direction. America can thank health activist Cuny

> (calcfh@...) for his actions in getting the bill passed,

> his constant vigilance, and behind-the-scenes prodding on

> SB2100's path over the next two years.

>

> (2). Proposed Senate Bill 417, just introduced, is a $3,000,000

> subsidy to study alternative cancer treatments for the purpose of

> introducing, and approving treatments within the state. This

> bill was spurred by the embarrasingly good cancer recovery

> statistics coming out of the Mexican Cancer Treatment Centers, a

> good many of which are located in Tijuana, Mexico, just across

> the border from San Diego. Too many Californians, told by their

> their oncologists " there is nothing more we can do - close out

> your affairs, " are returning to their homes, from Mexico,

> cancer-free.

>

> An entire " self-health " movement has sprung up world-wide because

> of Research Scientist Hulda s' books (ie; The Cure For All

> Cancers, etc.) teaching people how to remove toxins and parasites

> from their bodies to improve their chances against diseases, and

> improve their over-all health. success " testimonials " are

> too numerous to deny. 's research facility is in Mexico,

> while her books are published in California. is just one,

> among many, researchers breaking out of traditional paths heading

> towards leading-edge health protocols.

>

> California leaders are beginning to recognize that there are

> cancer protocols available that are not mainstream, but that work

> very well. And we shouldn't have to go to Mexico to get them.

>

> (3). Proposed AB 1565, just introduced, will outlaw toxic waste

> forms of flouride in California drinking water.

>

> (4). Proposed Senate Bill 577 - The State Department of Health

> Services shall conduct a study based on existing literature,

> information, and data on the scope of complementary medicine in

> California. The study shall include: (1) A report on the

> types of complementary medicine therapies available in the state.

> (2) A report on existing regulation of complementary medicine and

> complementary medicine practitioners. (3) An evaluation of

> options for oversight of the complementary medicine industry in

> order to protect providers and consumers. (4) A report

> recommending ways to promote consumer access to a broad range of

> healing and health care information. The study shall be

> submitted to the Legislature no later than October 1, 2002.

>

> (5). The California Medical Board, whose 18 appointed members

> will in June 2001, have been completely replaced by Governor Gray

> IS UNDER COMPLETE REVISION. The quackbuster influenced

> board is GONE. A new Medical Director, Neil D. Kohatsu, MD, MPH

> has been hired and he is in the process of bringing in all new

> medical " expert reviewers. " He is actively looking for

> " alternative practitioners " as reviewers.

>

> (6). The sheer demand for better health care in California is

> forcing the issue. Californians, myself included, want the best

> health care available for ourselves and our loved ones, and WE

> WANT IT RIGHT NOW. In California, that translates to mean " WE

> INTEND TO HAVE IT RIGHT NOW. " That situation doesn't bode well

> for Barrett and his ilk.

>

> (7). And, there's more coming... Much more.

> In California, it is not a good idea to stand on the freeway, and

> try to block traffic... You could get mashed.
