YOUR CHARGE: ION BOB BECK

[Guest guest]

Members,

I am, in a sense, hoping to contribute to this group by posting some of my observations regarding Alternative Health. This is my first post and pray it is accepted as written, to be of some assistance.

First, I would like to identify with those that are attempting to take charge of their own well being and desire to coin a Title that would or could apply to us: let us be known as Healthers'.

I figured it is appropriate to call those of us that have been researching and investing into themselves, Healthers' because those that oppose most things outside of `mainstream' are called something.

As an example there are the Birthers', for those that researched and question Obama's claim of American Citizenship, or Truthers', for those that have researched and question the events of 9/11 or 7/7.

Both groups of people are venomously attacked by those in the mainstream with a blatant disregard to personal rights and freedoms and desire to maintain the status-quo or have something in which to hide from the public at large.

Otherwise, why would it be considered socially unacceptable to question that which is not understood? Civil engagement would be to address the questions that are being asked, not attacking those asking the questions.

Factually, both groups only seek answers that will help themselves and others. It would be the first step in Healing. This should be regarded as acting within Honor not as a disgrace.

That, within itself, and to me and hope you will agree, it really does seem appropriate, that is to say, to be called a Healther, since those (one might regard as the opposition) within the medical community at large and the participation of governments or regulatory bodies that are firm-set against people being responsible for themselves and taking charge of their Health and are moving at an accelerated pace to prevent information sharing and stop, in its entirety, the use of all non-prescribed medical devises.

By no means would I want to subscribe to being or become a naysayer, yet in my opinion, and unless there becomes a drastic change (globally), it will not be much longer before any informational access to Alternative Health will be available on the internet as it is becoming more and more restricted all the time.

I wish I could say that as smoke, but those that are engaged in Alternative Health are aware of the massive crack-down being implemented across the board, even as you read this. It seems it matters not if the difference is solely informational or held as a testimonial or be it conceptual or a (known functional) medical apparatus or technique.

The actions of medical suppression or oppression are VERY real.

It is sad to come to an understanding us Healthers' are under attack as we are viewed as incompetent to address our medical concerns, either in private or in public, but call it what-ever you so chose, restriction of information or access to any form of natural or alternative remedies, even if self-administered, is nothing short of wrong and may even be considered a violation of the United Nations Declaration of Human Rights as a crime against Humanity.

With that said, and as a point of reference, it might not be a bad idea for readers to band together by opening additional sites, mirror sites and even groups with names not associated to Alternative Health.

Furthermore, making a `back-up' of information and a hard copy (yes, back to a paper ledger) for future reference would be a step in the right direction.

Think of it this way, if what I am saying is nonsense and folks indeed made precautionary moves, alternative sites, back-ups, hard copies etc, and nothing becomes of the crack-down, it would not have mattered as there is no harm but if the actions do materialize in full effect, which I strongly believe is true, then the action is not only necessary but imperative to future survival, yours and your posterity and possibly your community and/or mankind at large.

I really wanted to begin with speaking of Bob Beck but noted this has already grown quite long for what was supposed to be a short post, and I beg forgiveness and hope to post again soon, if you are not opposed.

Healthers', Be Good to Yourselves and to Each Other,

Kenny
