John Hammell on
International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF)
Friends:
In 1952 Health Canada examined their stats and determined that the worst
psychiatric hospital in Canada was Weyburn Hospital in Weyburn Saskatchewan.
It had the highest suicide rate, and the highest rate of recidivism. They
put two highly acclaimed physicians in charge of this hospital named Abram
Hoffer, and Humphrey Osmond, and gave these courageous men carte blanche
to do anything they could think of to turn things around.
I would not be alive and functioning well today if not for the courage
and perseverance of these people, and of the numerous physicians and scientists
who they inspired, including the late Linus Pauling, PhD, and the late
Carl C. Pfeiffer, MD, PhD, the man who brought me back to the ranks of
the living.
My purpose in writing this to you during the Holiday season is to honor
the sacrifices these pioneers made, while underscoring the extreme importance
of continuing to make it possible for them and their successors to be
able to continue practicing orthomolecular medicine, and for their patients,
and the public at large, to continue being able to purchase the dietary
supplements of their choice.
There was a time when after making my nutritional recovery from schizophrenia
when I spent a string of Christmases visiting people who otherwise would
have had no visitors in a psychiatric hospital near my home. I did this
until the pathos of the scene grew more than I could stand, realizing
fully from past personal experience how much needless suffering could
be averted if only the suppressed alternative treatment mode that restored
my health were not being suppressed.
I resolved to devote my life to changing this sorry state of affairs
and it doesn't take much to motivate me- all I have to do is look
into my memory banks and remember how I once felt when I was a prisoner
behind the walls in the psychiatric gulag, wondering if I'd ever see
the outside world again and if I'd ever regain my health.
A FIRST IN CYBERSPACE & IMPORTANT NEW ADDITION TO THE IAHF WEBSITE:
HOFFER & OSMOND's REPLY TO THE AMERICAN PSYCHIATRIC ASSOCIATION'S
TASK FORCE REPORT ON MEGAVITAMINS & ORTHOMLECULAR MEDICINE IN PSYCHIATRY
http://www.iahf.com/orthomolecular/reply_to_apa_tfr_7.pdf
The APA Task Force Report to which this scholarly reply was made has
played a direct role in the suicides and suffering of untold millions
of people world wide who have been cruelly denied access to orthomolecular
medicine as a result of its wide dissemination and the resulting brain
washing it has been a part of. Medical Libraries refuse to put Hoffer
and Osmond's Reply on the shelves alongside the APA Task Force Report
for the sake of balance, so doctors and patients don't have the chance
to learn both sides. The APA selected a man to head their task force who
had a very well known bias against orthomolecular medicine, and he hand
picked the rest of his committee.
They arrived at their predetermined conclusions through what can only
be termed a mockery of medical science. They only reviewed negative studies,
ignoring hundreds of carefully conducted positive studies. They did not
make honest efforts to replicate experiments that had been conducted by
Hoffer and Osmond, but rigged them to fail by not adhering to the original
protocols. Their Task Force included a Social Mileu Theorist who no amount
of data could possibly convince that orthomolecular medicine worked because
he rejected ANY biochemical approach to treatment, mainstream OR alternative
(so that made him a safe person to include on the Committee given their
agenda to conduct a "once and for all hatchet job."
It almost cost me my life. Due to what these people did, I was forced
to spend 4 years mired inside the psychiatric gulag in state and private
hospitals, suffering the torment of the damned until I made my literal
ESCAPE by smuggling vitamins in to the last hospital I was in and by taking
them on the sly while mouthing the toxic meds they tried to force me to
take and by spitting them down the toilet where they belonged. See
http://www.iahf.com/on_the_back_wards.html for my complete story.
Its been translated into several foreign languages and has been downloaded
over a million times. Once and a while I receive calls and email from
people who were helped by it and that has always made my day.
Against this backdrop of information, I hope you can understand why
this cause of health freedom means so much to me.
I am crying as I type this. We live in the most materialistic society
on the face of the earth- and at this time of year, all around us there
are downtrodden people who need a hand up, but all too often people just
pass them by while trying to pretend they don't exist. I know what
its like to be homeless, because I've been there. I lived for a time
underneath the Boardwalk in Atlantic City, NJ, panhandling, and eating
out of garbage cans, foraging scraps people left on restaurant tables
on the Boardwalk. I was saving up money to try to get off the street when
someone robbed me at knifepoint- and when that happened, I turned myself
in and was put back into the Gulag from which I'd gone AWOL.
We CAN HELP the people living in cardboard boxes, huddled under railroad
bridges, walking around mumbling and seeing things that aren't there.
We can help them by making DAMN SURE the Pharma Cartel's Machine
gets STALLED, then KNOCKED OUT ONCE AND FOR ALL- by DERAILING the CODEX
THREAT.
The best way to DERAIL the Codex threat is for lots of people to order
the DVD of the Emergency Health Freedom meeting held at ACAM on November
18th, 2004. (How to Order Below) We're hard at work editing it now.
I need people to get this DVD, and to organize showings to family, friends,
and people in your area. I need you to talk this up to your local health
food store owners and managers and get them involved. I need you to put
up flyers in all the health food stores within driving distance of your
house, and I need people to volunteer to help me do radio shows and public
speaking between now and the end of January when the Alliance for Natural
Health will be in court in their bid to overturn the EU Food Supplement
Directive.
ANH, IAHF, and the Law Loft need regular donations and pledges of monthly
support.
We need people to help us make connections with innovative vitamin companies,
the companies that are being led to the cliff by their own trade associations.
We need people who can embrace our battle and make it their own. Who
can understand our passion, and desire to change the world- to bring about
a paradigm shift away from this mindless "business with disease"
that characterizes Allopathic Medicine.
As you go about your Holiday Season, I ask only that you light a candle
in your mind, and in your heart, a candle of hope, of vision, of courage.
Do it for the people trapped behind the walls in a psychiatric gulag that
is murdering them. Do it for the people forced onto programs of cancer
chemotherapy who are being murdered by well meaning doctors who never
had the chance to learn the truth about numerous suppressed alternative
treatments for cancer. Do it for yourself, your wife or husband, friends
and neighbors. Do it for the generations yet to come. Together, we can
and WILL DEFEAT the PHARMA CARTEL.
WISH LIST
Alliance for Natural Health: 120,000 Pounds Sterling needed to pay legal
fees, and fees to a PR company and for operational expenses including
traveling for emergency public speaking on this issue over the next 6
months($240,000) ANH will be in the European Court of Justice on January
25th in a bid to OVERTURN the EU Food Supplement Directive. We must help
them. Their case has HUGE international implications. As goes the EU,
so goes the World due to the EU FSD being laid atop Codex as a Template.
See wire transfer info at
http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and you can also make individual
donations through the secure server on their site.
The Law Loft: Suzanne Harris will be managing a team of international
trade attorneys (if we can get the money to hire them) in order to conduct
a test case against DSHEA which we feel is vulnerable due to a future
WTO Trade Dispute. Harris also needs funds to manage a team of attorneys
to determine the feasibility of launching a lawsuit against the FDA to
force US opposition to the Codex vitamin standard in July 2005. Harris
also needs funds for living expenses while writing a book about Codex.
She's the world's foremost expert on the issue by far. She also
needs funds for traveling to do emergency public speaking over the next
6 months ($50,000 minimum)
International Advocates for Health Freedom: IAHF needs funds to build
a new website, for emergency traveling and public speaking to rapidly
build awareness, and for operational expenses- to hire at least one full
time assistant ($50,000. minimum)
Please help us to help you. Many of you have high level contacts with
vitamin companies, alternative practitioners, and with others who can
help. Please arrange conference calls that we can be on together.
Everyone on this list should be able to afford at the BARE MINIMUM to
get the $15. DVD of the Emergency Anti Codex Health Freedom Meeting in
San Diego, but if you can donate MORE than that, as you can see- we're
in a DO or DIE situation here.
