When the Pharisees and Sadducee came to Jesus they rebuked him for he had done what they claimed to be unlawful by the Torah. They asked Jesus, "Why doth thou do what is not lawful to be done on the Sabbath Day? For it is not right to heal on the Sabbath". And Jesus answered them saying, "If a man has a lamb and it fall in to the pit should he not pull it out? How much more important is man so that their suffering should be relieved?" (paraphrased)
As it was revealed later in the story the religious leaders were not concerned with keeping the Sabbath day holy, rather they were blinded by the desire to maintain their hold on power over the people's hearts and minds. Healing on the Sabbath was considered blasphemy mainly because it challenged the absolute authority of those in charge to exercise their control. They desperately sought to hold on to their power.
The Health Care debate has the same tone of rhetoric coming from the ruling class with regards to preventive/alternative medicine. Health care reform is a misnomer. Really it should be called sickness care reform, for only after one is sick does the medical industry take an interest.
Several years ago a full assault against preventive medicine was undertaken when the Food and Drug Administration declared that "only a drug can cure a disease." And also to solidify the hold of power of bureaucratic medicine over the body they stated "that only a doctor can prescribe a drug." And of course there is a strict code to follow to license these practitioners created by the corporately connected American Medical Association. The reigning paradigm of Allopathic medicine advocates drugs and surgery in the treatment of disease. Corporately biased medicine compliments corporately co-opted public policy in the access to, information on, and ability to find real wellness/health care. Upcoming legislation referred to as Codex Alimentarius seeks to characterize all minerals and vitamins as toxins that then need be prescribed by a doctor. Alternative medicine and preventive medicine may soon be extinguished all together if the corporately directed government funded healthcare reform is heaved on the public. And add to this the attack on small farms that produce organic fruits and vegetables through crushing Food Fascism Bill, H.R. 2749. Small scale ranchers that produce organic meats have their viability threatened through draconian legislation like the National Animal Identification System.
As of now it is unlawful to recommend that a person drink plenty of fluids and get plenty of rest resist the onset of a common cold.
It is also prohibited to advise a person to eat less and exercise more to combat the disease of obesity.
Today vaccines are common place and even mandatory rather than to encourage people to eat organic fruits and vegetables, take in clean fresh water, and get enough sunlight, fresh air and exercise to boost their immune system.
The alternative view to bureaucratic/Corporate medicine is extensively expounded in the New York Times best seller "Natural Cures They Don't Want you to know about" written by Kevin Trudeau. Kevin Trudeau has been discredited and vehemently attacked by the establishment media, for in fact "Truth is Treason in the Empire of lies". Big Pharmaceutical, Big Agriculture, the Medical Industrial Complex, the AMA, and the myriad of disease oriented fund-raising societies reflect corporatism at its worst.
The prevention of chronic degenerative diseases is as simple as knowing the ph level of the fluids of the body. (Human bodies are composed of approximately 75% water) If the fluids of the body are alkaline your body is in an optimal range of health and better able to fight off infection and disease. (Some would even say incapable of developing disease.) If the fluids of your body are acidic then the body's defenses and immune system are weakened and vulnerable to infection. However, the methods to keep the fluids of the body alkaline threaten the profits of a full spectrum of corporate interests.
Go to www.naturalcures.com to learn more.
www.healthfreedomusa.com also has a great deal of information.
The Pharisees (FDA) and the Sadducee (FTC) regard natural healing as blasphemy (illegal) for they say it is a sin (unlawful) to heal on the Sabbath (use alternative medicine.)
No matter what reforms are hoisted on the people without personal responsibility costs will continue to skyrocket. Health Care begins in the Kitchen. Only by educating and transforming the thinking of the people towards personal responsibility will reforms really and truly help to enhance the quality of life of those who choose to discipline themselves for optimal health.
The following is a brief introduction to the effects of certain foods on ph levels of the body. This information comes from http://www.womentowomen.com/digestionandgihealth/acidalkalinefoodchart.aspx

pH balancing foods
Together with our article on pH balance and digestion, this chart of acid/alkaline-forming foods can help you gain a better understanding of the effect individual foods have in terms of digestive pH.
There are many such lists out there, some more definitive and reliable than others, and contradictions between them do show up, but the basics are fairly consistent. This list is just a sampling, by no means complete, to provide an overview of which foods fall on either side of the pH scale. From this basic understanding you can begin to assess how pH might be playing a part in your personal health and diet picture.

Does this website not seem a little dishonest to you? www.naturalcures.com And if it is completely legitimate, why is it designed like a thousand other websites that "have the answer", for a price..

Kevin Trudeau should be studied very closely and vigilantly. He was an elitist at one time so do your research and dont let one clown ruin the idea of natural cures. Natural cures are the power and control you have over your own health. Be in control and not the big government. Always be careful and always be vigilant in your studies. I can testify that Natural remedies have and do work for me.

September 17^th is Constitution day.   Annually there is little to no recognition of this holiday.  July 4^th means nothing without the framework of liberty, justice, peace and morality found in the Constitution.  Unfortunately, nowadays most Americans don't realize this.  Corporate media, federally funded schools, the welfare/warfare state, blind nationalism, and questionable morality have led this generation to move away from freedoms envisioned by the founding fathers.  It has become common place for federal policy to disregard the Bill of Rights.  And when tyranny is legalized it then becomes as it was said by Frederick Bastiat in The Law, "that plunder is a right, so that it is protected and self-defense is made a crime so that it is punished." 

Take for example the 17^th Amendment.  This amendment changed the method for electing U.S. senators to office.  In the U.S. Constitution, Article I, section III identifies the state legislature as the electing body for U.S. senators and deciding on presidential-electors.  The 17th amendment changed the electorate of U.S. senators and presidential electors from the state legislature to "the people".  Initially I asked, "Why is this change to having "the people" as direct electors of Senators and presidential-electors considered a negative for preserving liberty?"

In the manual The Citizen's Rule Book they comment that the 17th amendment deals with;

direct elections of senators; electors; and vacancies in the senate, and took effect May 31^st 1913.  This moved the U.S. from a complex Republic to a simple republic much like the style of government of the Soviet Union.  State rights were lost and we were plunged headlong in to a democracy of which our forefathers warned was the vilest form of government because it always ends in oppression.  

Sheldon Richman, formerly of Delaware, is a political writer for a nationally distributed publication and explains the implication of the changes in 17^th amendment.  In an article written for the Future of Freedom Foundation Journal in its December 2000 issue titled, "Don't just keep the Electoral College; Repeal the 17^th Amendment" he asks, "What was the function of the Constitution?" And then intimates, "To restrain the central government".  Mr. Richman continues by stating that;

The document is a device for dispersing power, because concentrated power is inimical to freedom. A related purpose was to thwart majorities that would trample individual freedom. There is an invisible line between democracy and mob rule. The main method the Founders hit on to contain central power and mob rule was federalism: the maintenance of the states as sovereign entities.

Mr. Richman then opines that federalism is a concession, in which;

the preference for states' rights is merely a recognition of a tradeoff: decentralized power rather than centralized power. If government becomes intolerably oppressive, it is easier to change states than to change countries. Voting with the feet should be kept as cheap as possible.

By the application of federalisim,  states were meant to be autonomous and in competition with each other.  This competition was meant to bring about excellence in policy and administration.

Also in defense of States' rights, Mr. Richman adds;

That the Framers were men of wealth and property is no valid objection to their handiwork. Private property is indispensable to freedom and prosperity - even, or especially, for those who own little. Envious mobs are too easily whipped up by opportunistic politicians to keep property safe in a democracy. That's one reason the Framers devised the Electoral College: it was to be a buffer between unruly majorities and the rights of the smallest minority, the individual.

Those who are for resisting the overreach of government must also seek to resist the over reach of the mob mentality.  Those who claim to support individual rights must also disdain the use of collective force to infringe upon the rights of any individual.

In the words of Ayn Rand, "The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.

I believe the idiom that a society is celebrated by how it treats its weakest and most vulnerable members.  For me, this is the defining grace of the U.S. Constitution.  The Constitution identified the liberty of the individual as the measure of the freedom of in the different states.  Therefore, protecting the rights of individuals is and should be the paramount priority of this society.  So, if the United States claims to be a government of the people, by the people, and for the people yet fails to acknowledge the sacred position of individual rights and thus property rights, this is known as a tyranny of the majority, and exhibits the baseness of the Latin term demos regula, mob rule otherwise known as democracy.  And to that I say Restore the Republic! Legalize the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.

The need to protect against government over reach and mob mentality should ever remind us to place principles above personalities.  This is what truly serves the common welfare; unselfish adherence to the principal of individual liberty by elected officials and "the people".

When individual liberty is not in the ultimate ethos of the national conscience, the great experiment is at an end.  The great American experiment regarding the love of autonomy, faith in the goodness of people and the importance of personal and local responsibility has ceased to be.  The "united states of America", as it was intended, will have ceased to be while the Constitution is rendered devoid of purpose and meaning.

As part of Thursday's Financial Services subcommittee hearings, Dr. Paul questioned Jim Carr of the National Community Reinvestment Coalition.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHj8CXYe9Q

"A financial system that creates wealth" sounds like something straight from the La Rouche PAC. In their what I believe to be a fantasmic utopia self righteousness the so called "American system" says the solution to exploitative government programs is more government programs and unlike their predecessors these new government won't be corrupt. Why do the social democrats/progressives say this? How can we know these new systems will do what has not been done before. "The people/structure that were in power before were bad, we the new rulers," they say, "are only here to serve the poor people, give us and Barabbas/Barack a new try. All these programs would be perfect if it wasn't for the people that were put in charge. Ponerology is a study of evil, Poltical Ponerology by Lobaczewski is very interesting.

Ultimately, as a poor person, I am offended that this Agency Representative feels that I am a part of a class of people that can't think for themselves and needs to be coddled like children.

What about Fiat Currency and Inflationary Policy?

If all of Jim Carr's wealth and property was taken from him he wouldn't be poor because of his intellectual capital and cultural capital are limitless in their ability to create wealth. (His lack of financial ethics may serve him well also.)

What about federally funded education? "It is naive to think federally funded schools will teach about the ills of too much concentration of power." -Future of freedom foundation.

What about fractional reserve banking?

What about artificially set interest rates?

What about legal tender laws?

What about taxes on savings and labor?

The fear and terror of the pigs can fly virus coming to a school near you.   Forced vaccinations for school children first.

My understanding on the prevention of disease illustrates that the most important function to maintain health is the bodies ability to cleanse itself.  I greatly question the benefits of adding toxins to a persons system to create a stronger immune system response.

Hello C4L,

1. We are hoping for a big turnout this May 27th at the New Castle County Campaign for Liberty Chapter Meeting. If you haven't read it already here is an eloquently composed letter on the need for unity and mutual aid in the fight for liberty.

http://www.campaignforliberty.com/blog.php?view=17802

2. With a big turnout, it has been suggested, Panera Bread may not be very accomodating. An alternative location maybe better. Any Ideas!. Please reply.

3. It would be great if everyone who has worked with Jeff Maday over the past couple of years come out to wish him farewell. As he is relocating in the near future.

4. The Interim State Cooridinators are looking to put the structure of the organization together. No Experience required! We are all learning as we go. We need people who are willing to serve. Communication makes it imperative to have this structure in place.

State Coordinators
County Coordinators
Local Coordinators

There is online training available at www.campaignforliberty.com. And if not you than who. This is one of those times where we decide on what side of the fence to belong. Maybe someone else will do it, maybe it will take another 30 years for this to get going, maybe it will never happen. Maybe you are the butterfly that causes the typhoon on the other side of the world.

If you haven't signed up at the latest version of the Campaign for Liberty please do so. Unfortunately, if you were apart of that 100,000 that signed up on the first site you may hae been lost in the shuffle.

Advertise on all the social networking sites.

If there are community events where we can set up tables and distribute literature please let the group know so we can get organized to share the message. Invite like minded friends and family to join in the cause.

We are making a difference and Promoting liberty is fun.

MP Anthony

I hope you have a big turnout. but remember if only 4 people show up, and you are committed and work to make a difference then that is worth more than a dozen tea parties
