COVER: Lotus is not commonly used in western medicine. Recent scientific
research has been conducted on the chemical and medicinal properties of
various parts of the lotus plant. Results support its use in traditional medicine.
Scientific research on lotus provides evidence in support of many of its
traditional medicinal uses to treat diarrhoea, fungal infections, fevers and
conditions skin. Alcohol extracts of the rhizomes have also been shown to
display as many as seven different kinds of therapeutic activity. The most
notable is its anti-bacterial activity and hence use for the treatment of sexually
transmitted diseases such as gonorrhoea and syphilis. Rheumatoid arthritis
is also reported to respond well to treatment with lotus, as do certain kinds of
Preliminary studies on the ancient lotus seeds report the presence of an enzyme called L-isoaspartyl
methyltransferase which may play a role in anti-ageing through their repair of proteins. If substantiated
by further studies this would support the long-held traditional belief among Asian cultures that lotus is
the symbol for fertility and re-birth.
Little is known about the toxicity of the different parts of lotus and it is generally considered a safe plant
which is widely used as a food. Although an alkaloid known to affect the heart called nelumbine occurs
in the leaves, fruit stalks and seeds, no cases of adverse reaction have been found in the literature.

How to Stop
World War 3
Many people are now warning that a war on Iran could trigger World War 3.
Indeed, a “low intensity” war is already going on – with years of “demonising”
propaganda, a massive military buildup, assassinations, crippling sanctions,“Stuxnet”
viruses and industrial and military sabotage. For many years Israel has been pressing
the US to bomb Iran, to get the “real” war started – a war that could well turn nuclear.
Now, insane though this may be, it seems they are on the verge of succeeding.
Pilots, engineers, architects, air traffic controllers, leading scientists, MDs, ex-CIA analysts and
even a former Reagan top official all agree that 9/ was an inside job. The former head of the
Star Wars missile defense program under Presidents Ford and Carter now says that the official
version of 9/11 is a “conspiracy theory”, and that the 19 “Arab highjackers” didn’t do it.
His main suspect for the architect of the attack is Vice President Dick Cheney.

Introduction
For the past few months, the big
news on the health front has been
the long overdue resurgence of the
fluoride issue, as people in New
Zealand and around the world
are finally awakening to the fact
that their governments have been
poisoning them.
This issue of the NZ Journal of
Natural Medicine has an especially
good article by Lady Carla Davis on
“The Fluoride Fraud”. We strongly
recommend you read it – especially
if you still think that fluoride has
somehow, magically, become a
“nutrient”.
Literally.
What it is, of course, is a magical
nutrient for the bank balances of
dentists and fluoride exporters
everywhere. That’s because, as
dentists are well aware, fluoride
actually embrittles and weakens
teeth and sends a lot of business
in their direction. (Did you really
think that dentists would be
recommending something that would
hurt their business?)
We invite your responses to this and
any other article you wish to send us
a letter about.
We all take electricity for granted,
but can it, too, be harmful? And if so,
can its harmful effects be mitigated?
Paul Waddell, one of New Zealand’s
leading experts in the field, has a
ground breaking article about just
this, and we recommend it highly.
We are being inundated with everyeverything from Wi-Fi to EMR to
“Dirty Electricity” on a daily basis,
and there is good reason to believe
that it has a great deal to do with our
soaring cancer rate. What can we
do about it? The hour is late but the
options are there.

them that it is “safe and effective” –

to bringing to light the kind of
information you or someone near
and dear to you probably will be able
to use either right now or at least in
the not too distant future.
We have thoroughly enjoyed putting
this issue together for you and hope
that you find it as stimulating and as
useful as we have.
Goodness knows, it is high time
we got serious about taking
responsibility for our own health.
I mean, if we don’t, who else will?

Guest Editorial
The Fraud of Fluoridation
by Lady Carla Davis, MPH
Specialising in Nutrition
For over 60 years the fluoridation
debate and policy has been controlled
largely by the American Dental
Association (ADA). Since its inception
in the 1950s the ADA has carried out
a relentless barrage of high pressure
propaganda, government influence,
and bullying through their corporate
spin doctors. With a single focus on
teeth and little or no expertise on
other health issues, they continuously
quote endorsements, support, and
recommendations from government
agencies (whose main objective
is to protect industries and their
products) to convince the public that
fluoridation it is safe. Anyone who
questions or exposes a different
view or finding about fluoridation,
is bullied, denigrated, vilified, and
muzzled. Independent research has
been sabotaged or suppressed.
Prominent researchers and scientists
have been forced to lie about their
findings. Those who refused to
lie and told the truth, have been
fired and professionally destroyed.
Organisations, citizens, and local
councillors who speak up about being
harmed and object to being treated/
medicated against their will, are
labelled quacks and extremists!
The long-term safety of fluoridation
has never been scientifically
determined. (Endorsements, support,
and recommendations from various
agencies are not scientific.) Plus,
there is a big difference between
a corporate scientist who is paid
to produce a certain result and an
independent scientist who is beholden
to no one. A
true scientist will
always question
or challenge
doubtful
findings. Every
well educated
scientist and
physician knows
that one must
consider at least
two generations
to determine the
effects and safety
of a substance,
product, or
chemical before
pronouncing
a conclusion.
Sometimes it
takes two or more
generations for

damage to show

Just because

mean it is safe. Especially when NO
independent studies or research have
been conducted to monitor possible
side effects. Look how long it took,
against fierce corporate opposition,
to expose the the harm from tobacco,
pesticides, radiation, and asbestos.
Presently, most health agencies,
including the ADA, National Academy
of Scientists, the American Medical
Association (AMA), American Medical
Assoc. of Paediatrics, admit that
the dose of fluoride a baby receives
on fluoridated tap water formula,
exceeds the amount known to cause
harm.
“Exposing a child to chemicals during
the first 6 years of its life that will
harm that child’s learning capability,
self control, and have effects of
brain function that are life long [is
inexcusable]. To permit that to happen
when you know it is happening and
not to interfere by stopping the use of
something like fluoride, which makes
it worse, is immoral. It is evil to harm
children by poisoning them during
the first 6 years of their life once you
know you are doing it.” – Roger D.
Masters PhD, Professor Emeritus
Dartmouth College
Why then is this toxic waste byproduct still being forced down our
throats by government agencies and
various councils at our expense?
The fact that this harmful policy has
been allowed to continue for so long,
and so much effort and money being
spent to mandate it and convince
people, ministers, and councillors,
that it is good for our teeth and
safe, just goes to show the extent of
corruption in government.

There has been NO scientific
investigation in Australia of possible
relationship between consumption of
fluoridated water and:
• Lowered IQ in children (Yet,
there are 35 human studies
alone, indicating that fluoride is
a neurotoxin, which can lower
children’s IQ)
• Disruption of the second teeth
(orthodontic and cosmetic dentistry
are big business)
• Fluorosis (which weakens the
enamel and bones)
• Arthritic symptoms and joint pain in
adults
• Increased bone and hip fractures
• Hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid
or Hyperthyroidism (over active
thyroid)
• Thyroid tumours/nodules (now an
epidemic along with obesity)
• Pineal Calcification
• Earlier onset of puberty
• Dementia
• Prematurely aged skin (fluoride
breaks down collagen)
• Development of moles and other
skin disorders
• Cancer
• Mental illness
Nor have studies formally
investigated the many anecdotal
reports that some individuals
are highly sensitive to fluoride
(and develop gastrointestinal,
neurological and skin conditions
from exposure.)
If you don’t look, you don’t find.
However, the absence of studies,
does NOT mean the absence of harm.
Editor’s note: For a
comprehensive list of studies relating
to fluoride induced health problems
please visit www.fluoridealert.org
The chemicals - fluorosilicic acid
and sodium silicofluoride – used to
fluoridate drinking water are industrial
waste products from the phosphate
fertilizer industry. Of these chemicals,
fluorosilicic acid (FSA) is the most
widely used. FSA is a corrosive acid
which has been linked to higher blood
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
lead levels in children. A recent study
from the University of North Carolina
found that FSA can – in combination
with chlorinated compounds – leach
lead from brass joints in water
pipes, while a recent study from the
University of Maryland suggests that
the effect of fluoridation chemicals
on blood lead levels may be greatest
in houses built prior to 1946. Lead is
a neurotoxin that can cause learning
disabilities and behavioural problems
in children. (24-28)
How many millions of people are ill
or have died because of persistent
denials and obstruction from the
industry, in collusion with the very
government agencies who are
supposed to protect the public?
Government agencies, such as
the EPA, FDA, CDC, etc., that are
supposed to protect the public,
instead protect big industries and
their products. Hence, they have
no credibility. Plus, it is well known
that there is a revolving door policy
between big industry and powerful
government positions. Corporate
plants are given top positions in
government, and then, government
personnel move on to highly paid
corporate executive positions. One
example was D. Rumsfeld, President
of G.D. Searle & Co (makers of
Nutrasweet) sold to Monsanto;
CEO of General instrument Corp.
(HDTV); Chairman of Gilead Sciences
(developers of Tamiflu, used for the
flu pandemic); and Govt. Advisor &
Sec. of Defence. SEE “The Aspartame
Resource Guide” by Dr. Betty Martini,
in The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
pages 48-51, Issue, 8,
Children represent approximately
20% of the Queensland population.
Out of that percent, less than half are
reported to have dental decay. WHY
in the world would Council members
vote to spend millions of tax dollars
to treat the whole population, for
what ails less than 10%?? What
ever happened to common sense?
Not only is this ludicrous and
irresponsible, but is is UNETHICAL!
August - November 2013
With these simple statistics readily
available it is bewildering why some
ministers, mayors, and council
members persist on maintaining
the status quo. In light of the
overwhelming independent, scientific
evidence, clearly showing fluoride
to be harmful to many sectors of the
population, their integrity comes into
question.
What is even more sinister is the way
the Australian/American/New Zealand
Dental Association aggressively
promotes fluoridation as the “cure
all” for dental decay, and then, tries
to convince everyone that it is safe.
According to every scientific directory
of chemicals, fluorosilicic acid/fluoride
is a highly toxic POISON! Perhaps, the
ADA is afraid of being sued like the
manufacturers of asbestos have been.
Or, perhaps, they are being heavily
funded to dispose of this highly toxic
waste and convince everyone it is
safe and good for us, so that we pay
for all the disposal costs involved.
In addition to the huge increase in
water rates to pay for this multi-million
dollar gimmick, disposal of industrial
waste, the high costs of orthodontic
and cosmetic dentistry, skin repair
(fluoride breaks down collagen),
endocrine disorders, obesity, bone
and joint problems/pain, mental
health, lower IQ, and dementia have
never been factored into the overall
cost.
Obviously, there is good reason
why long-term independent health
studies have NOT been conducted in
fluoridating countries. However, the
harm being done is clearly visible in
every sector of the population. One
doesn’t have to be an expert, doctor,
dentist, or scientist to see that young
people from fluoridated areas have
fluorosis, crooked and buck teeth,
poor bone structures, and moles all
over their bodies. In addition lower
IQs and behaviour problems are a
common occurrence.
Mental illness and dementia are
increasing at an alarming rate. Yet,
the two most common phrases
www.naturalmedicine.net.nz
9
“How many millions of
people are ill or have died
because of persistent
denials and obstruction
from the industry ...”
verbalised by the medical profession
are “We don’t know what causes
it.” and “There are no cures.” How
convenient!
These are the same so called
“experts” who exposed us to DDT,
Thalidomide, DES, mercury amalgam
fillings, unprotected X-rays, leaded
gasoline, tobacco, and asbestos.
Then, for decades they assured us
that their deadly products were safe.
Some may remember when doctors
were used in ads to convince us
smoking was good for our health.
These so called “experts” (murderers)
had trucks full of DDT go through
neighbourhoods and swimming
pools spraying children to prove
it was safe. www.youtube.com/
watch?v=uf6KkjBCoVU
Exposure to fluoride is no different
than exposure to second hand
smoke! If something causes harm
to any sector of the population, it is
unacceptable to force exposure of it
on everyone.
If the so called “experts” were really
concerned about our teeth, they
would have promoted good nutrition
and not allowed highly sugared junk
foods with damaged fats/oils and
sodas into our schools, decades
ago! Good nutrition, along with the
avoidance of refined sugary junk
foods and carbonated drinks, is the
only sensible solution to dental decay.
Fortunately, now the truth is unfolding.
Many highly qualified independent
scientists, doctors, researchers,
dentists, and journalists are speaking
out and producing overwhelming
evidence from independent studies/
research, which clearly contradicts
the safety and effectiveness claims of
fluoridation by the so called “experts.”
In fact, the evidence is so compelling
that whistle blowers are putting their
jobs, lives, and careers at risk to tell
the truth.
We are now beyond the debate of
fluoride’s effectiveness and safety.
The UNETHICAL and ABUSIVE policy
10
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
of forced fluoridation MUST STOP! In
addition, those responsible for all the
damage done and soaring medical
costs, from forced fluoridation, must
be held accountable and prosecuted
for their fraud!
Contact your local council and voice
your opposition to forced fluoridation.
Remind them what happened to
Queensland Premier Anna Bligh
(who was voted out after instituting
compulsory fluoridation) and that this
is an important election issue.

Epsom Salts
Dear Katherine: In the latest issue [#9]
of your magazine there is an item on
Epsom salts (magnesium sulphate)
to which you appended the advice,
“Epsom salts should be added to your
bath water and not taken internal.”
Why do you say this?
In Adelaide in 1980 I attended a
seminar given by a dry land ecologist,
who said that Australian soils were so
deficient in magnesium that everyone
should be taking a supplement. I
began taking Epsom salts internally.
Later that year I found I had grown an
inch in height, even though I was in
my mid-40s.
Later on I began taking a range of
magnesium supplements. In my
mid-60s a doctor said an X-ray of
my spine looked like that of healthy
teenager.
If a person takes too much
magnesium sulphate internally, a sort
of diarrhoea may result. This is not
much of a problem, and is fixed by
lowering the intake. At the moment
I fill a 10-litre galvanised bucket with
water and allow it to sit for at least
24 hours. The chlorine outgases,
while at the same time the water
picks up zinc. I decant the water into
clear 2-litre glass flagons, into which
of each I add a half-teaspoon of
magnesium sulphate.
Doing things this way, all day long
small amounts of zinc and magnesium
trickle through my system, which is
better than taking one or two large
doses. As well, being dissolved in
water means these minerals are wellabsorbed.
quite severe osmotic diarrhoea and
consequent dehydration if the dose
is too high, it was not something I
wanted to encourage people to do.
Fluoride Bad For
Athletes
“With the Sydney 2000 Olympics
over, the scribes are analysing results.
One important statistic not reported
in the media was that the source of
drinking water was bottled water, not
Sydney’s fluoridated tap water. That
was reserved for Sydney people in
their homes and not safe for visiting
athletes and their representatives.
However, all that aside, Australians
are branded “great sports”, they
drink their fluoridated polluted tap
water and pour money into the
coffers of international, overseas
fertiliser factories. We not only pay
for the stuff, but help the factories rid
themselves of the fluoride waste toxic
pollutant, not otherwise permitted
to be dumped anywhere. Dumping
fluoride pollutants into drinking
water supplies was considered some
years ago, a great commercial idea,
ignoring the fact that it had never
been a scientific medical discovery,
through normal medical research
nor has passed today’s necessary
Government testing. It was, and
still is, an untouchable process,
protected by the U.S. Government. An
untouchable process now protected
by law in Australia. Fluoridation
untouchable? Yes, by law we cannot
take a case against fluoridation

Kraus’ treatment: simple tests

Childbearing Patterns
and Breast Cancer
Dear Editor,
Thanks for a great magazine, recent
issues of natural medicine on the
topic of breast cancer completely
ignore the main reason of what
used to be commonly known as the
working women’s disease.
A study reported in Science News
October 1992 by Kathy Facleman
and Malcolm Pike from the Southern
Californian School of Medicine in Los
Angeles, blames the epidemic rates
of breast and other female cancers on
a fact of modern day life. The average
American woman starts menstruating
at age 12 and typically gives birth to
one or two infants. She breast feeds
for three months. Pike estimates she
will ovulate a whopping 450 time in
her lifetime.
By contrast a women who lived
200 years ago, would have started
menstruating at 17, delivered eight
babies and breast feed each for two
years. Therefore our foremothers
ovulated fewer than 150 times during
their reproductive life.
Pike shows that pregnancy and
lactation provides a crucial resting
period for the ovaries, that the
female sex glands that produce not
only eggs but also several powerful
hormones, including oestrogen
and progesterone. Each month
as a women’s body readies itself
for pregnancy the ovaries secrete
oestrogen and progesterone, which
tells the breast cells to start dividing
in preparation for milk production.
In years past women went through
the cycle less frequently because
they were either pregnant or breast
feeding.
Other interesting studies show that
women that have a full pregnancy
12
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
before the age of 18 have only one
third the breast cancer risks of
women whose first child is delayed
until 30 years old or never has a child.
A recent CASH study involving about
9000 women revealed that women
with the least breast cancer were
those that had a longer breast feeding
experience. CASH researcher Peter
Layde M.D reports “We found that
women who breast fed a total of two
years or more had nearly a third less
breast cancer than women who did
not breast feed”.
For the sake of our women’s health
our society needs to radically change
its attitude to the value of having
children.
Thanks, M Smit
Editor’s comment: This is a good
point; certainly children are not
adequately valued – nor are mothers
given the respect and support that
they deserve, given the importance
of their role to the future of our
society. However, the small number of
children borne by women in modern
Western countries is not solely to
blame for increased breast cancer
rates; some countries such as Japan
have low birth rates and low breast
cancer rates. (Japan has had a low
birth rate for many years yet had a
low rate of breast cancer. Protective
foods such as iodine rich seaweeds
probably play a role here, as well as
the fact the oral contraceptives were
illegal in Japan until the late 1990s.
Most Japanese mothers also breast
feed their babies.)
In the West, it may not be the low
birth rate per se that is helping to
increase the number of women with
breast cancer, but the technologies
used to control fertility (such as
oral contraceptives, the injectable
contraceptive Depo Provera, abortion
etc) which are commonly used and
are associated with increased risk
of breast cancer. (Abortion is legal
in Japan but typically acupuncture
is used to terminate the pregnancy
very early in the first trimester,
reducing the risks of increased
oestrogen exposure due to the
pregnancy. Moreover, the Shinto
August - November 2013
religion recognises the spiritual needs
of mothers who have lost children
whether through miscarriage or
induced abortion, thereby facilitating
emotional and spiritual healing.)
Mercury Exposure in
NZ Primary School
Hi Katherine and Jon,
Here’s one for your interest: At the
area primary school where I went
(Rangiora) during the early 70’s they
had a training centre included for
young trainee dental nurses. These
days they practice on dummies at
Otago (I think) but back then we were
it. If there was a slight brown patch
on your tooth, it was drilled and filled
with amalgam. Me and most other
kids I know who went there have all
carried a real mouthfull of amalgam
all our lives (comparative to others)
because of this training. There was
not one tooth in my mouth that didn’t
have amalgam in it (all gone now).
Here’s the real kicker though, to keep
us from getting bored during the long
hours of practising, they used to tip a
vial full of mercury into our hands to
play with. Good eh!

Electrohypersensitivity
Misunderstood,

To the Editor,
What is unseen isn’t always unreal,
and to find that something unseen is
in our environment can cause great
pain to some people, make bees and
birds lose their ability to navigate

of everyone in its path – makes me
wonder as we all should – what on
Earth is going on?
As someone who feels the effects
of the artificial electromagnetic
radiation in our environment today,

Alice described in the article [on

share of incredulous looks and even
complete denial from people who
do not understand the bio-electrical
nature of life and therefore how the
artificial, modulated frequencies
from cell phones and other wireless
devices are harmful to our health.
LIke the discovery that washing
one’s hands before preparing food
gets rid of unseen, harmful bacteria,
the discovery that switching off cell
phones and other wireless devices
gets rid of harmful electromagnetic
radiation is one for which our children
may be very grateful.

use of IV Vitamin C – yet the doctors
refused to even try it. I have been
told by close family members of other
patients that they too been refused
this very basic safe medicine and also
died.
Perhaps elderly family members don’t
matter to the doctors so they let them
die instead of trying “everything” that
they claim to have already done and
evidently haven’t.
For goodness sake – even Captain
James Cook realised that something
in limes and sauerkraut was saving
his sailors from the ravages of scurvy
– yet he didn’t wait for scientific
validation before he procured barrels
of raw, Vitamin C rich, sauerkraut
for voyages when fresh limes would
have been scarce. Yes, scurvy is
alive and well here in 21st New
Zealand. Vitamin C deficiency can
present itself as a multitude of signs
and symptoms including viral and
bacterial infections such as influenza
and meningococcal infections, yet
many doctors are choosing to remain
ignorant of some very basic effective
nutritional medicine that even an 18th
sea captain knew something about
and was prepared to stake his own
life, and that of his crew, on it.
Maybe the history of New Zealand
would have been very different if it
hadn’t been for Captain Cook’s wife
who encouraged her sea voyaging
husband to take these valuable
supplies with him. Perhaps we’d all
be speaking Dutch now – and maybe
that would be a good thing as the
Netherlands has the highest level
of child health care in the OECD yet
New Zealand lags ashamedly behind
at number 28 out of 30 countries.
Please go and see what Allan Smith
has to say and report back to over
1/4 of New Zealand’s population what
all the fuss is about. New Zealander’s
deserve to know the truth about
how the medical system is letting
people die and that it is very risky
to be a patient in Auckland Hospital

wife and three persistent, burly sons
to fight for you.

Removal of WiFi from
School Improves
Children’s Learning,
Behaviour
On the bright side my then 6.5 yr
old daughter went from a spelling
age of 6.1 (being funded remedial
teaching) to having a spelling age of
7.5 in 3 months with no more need
for remedial help. When I got her
improvement stat in September, Wi-Fi
had been switched off for 4 months.
Coincidence? Possibly except
dramatic behavioral changes were
expressed with regard to three other
children in her class of 12 students
by parents speaking to me, it is very
possible that others noted changes in
mood, concentration, general health
and behaviour and did not connect
with the reduction of EMR and RF.
I have also halted Genesis from
putting a “smart meter” in our house
in Brighton – for now.
Hi Katherine,
Cheers,
We were able to stop the use of Wi-Fi
at our daughter’s school last year.
We had a really hard time but were
fortunate to be part of a small rural
school so us threatening to remove
our children was (I assume) the main
driver for the outcome we achieved.
Lucy Thomson-Ryan
I am happy to talk to you to share
our experience. I have attached
correspondence I had with the
school. Be assured that no member
of staff or the board (well the skeleton
crew as it remained on the night)
thought we were anything other
than scaremongers even with the
huge amount of research I provided.
My emails to the board provided
hypertext links so that they could
‘just click’ to the study or webpage I
referenced. I asked one female board
member who referred to herself as
a ‘scientist’ what research she had
done and she refused to answer – I
took that as none! The two elected
board members along with the two
full time teachers at the school were
the only people with voting rights,
as one elected board member with
children did not attend and the other
was refused the ability to vote as he
was my husband, the remaining do
not have even one child between
them at our school.

aluminium smelters. There is “poison”
written on the outside of the sacks
and workers have to be fully suited up
for protection before it is added it to

water or do we want to be poisoned?

These side effects explain why some
people become dangerously ill, and
even die of “unexplained causes”,
after having “simple” treatments by
an ophthalmologist. It also explains
why these treatments, often repeated
at the urging of the specialists, lead to
the above side effects. Unfortunately,
side effects can take time to surface,
so victims don’t understand why they
are so ill and ophthalmologists and
Big Pharma don’t get the blame, or
the lawsuits, they deserve.
To give an idea of the kind of drugs
our ophthalmologists prescribe
willy-nilly, one is so dangerous that
60% - 70% of people using them
become seriously ill, and their irises,
no matter the colour, turn black, never
to return to their original colour! An
ophthalmologist assured me these
drops were safe. Apparently, he did
not consider what else a drug so
powerful that it can dye your irises
might do to the rest of your body. My
advice: don’t trust any of them, and
bear in mind that Bausch and Lomb
eye drops have been recalled due to
contamination with black spots they
think may be printer’s ink.

“approved” treatments that don’t help,
and frequently cause life-threatening,
permanent damage. This simple
cure will save people from the pain,
expense and extreme danger of
conventional treatments.
This panacea is cannabis tincture, an
all-purpose medicine that has been
known for decades to be the best
treatment for glaucoma, for intractable
pain, and for so many other health
scourges that there isn’t room to list
them all. It has been used with huge
success for thousands of years, it
does not make you “high”, and it is
only illegal because of – you guessed
it – the unholy trinity of Big Pharma,
Big Medicine and Big Government.
These enormously wealthy, powerful
agents of malevolence are united
in their efforts to stop legalization.
But no matter how many lies they
tell and no matter how much money
they spend trying to discredit this
ancient, herbal medicine, they cannot
suppress the truth forever.
Cannabis tincture is producing
wonderful results around the world.
Growing it and using it for healing
will have to be legalized eventually,
or millions will continue to suffer and
die unnecessarily. Most European
countries have legalized cannabis
for medical use, and the USA finally
gave in to extreme pressure and
legalized it in 20 states, with more to
follow. Australia, backward as usual, is
fighting legalisation with breathtaking
stupidity: it is legal to use cannabis
in Australia for medical use, but it
is illegal to import it, or grow it, or
make it into a tincture. So, how are
we expected to use it? We suggest
you put this question to your political
representative.
And, while you are at it, remind him
or her that cannabis is a powerful,
all-purpose medicine that will take
healthcare out of the grasp of Big
Pharma and put it firmly where it
belongs – in the hands of patients.
This is a reason politicians and
governments are fighting legalization,
tooth and nail. – Anon

Health Freedom Report
By Katherine Smith
Worldwide, threats to health
freedom are being met with vigorous
opposition.
Threat to food
security in Europe
A proposed “reform” of laws within
the European Union that regulates
seeds and other forms of plant
propagation material such as seed
potatoes threatens the EU food
supply. According to the UK Soil
Association (which promotes organic
agriculture) “the proposed new EU
regulation on the marketing of plant
reproductive material will put the
future of our plant biodiversity at
risk. It will have a disastrous effect
on the availability of rare varieties
and farmers’ varieties, and stop the
exchange and selling of traditional
seeds.” (http://www.soilassociation.
org/news/newsstory/articleid/5217/
press-comment-proposed-euregulation-concerning-seedvarieties)
According to Science Insider:
The proposal will now be discussed
and amended by member states
and the European Parliament; the
commission estimates that the
legislation will enter into force in
2016. (http://news.sciencemag.org/
scienceinsider/2013/05/overhaul-ofeu-seed-regulations-.html)
Threats to freedom of choice
regarding vaccination
The Australian Telegraph paper
recently launched a “No Jab, No Play”
campaign calling for the government
and early childhood education
centres to discriminate against
unvaccinated children. The paper
stated that we are demanding “The
state government amend the Public
Health Act 2010 to allow childcare
centres to ban unvaccinated children”
and for the government to stop
paying childcare rebates and family
tax benefits to parents who decide
against vaccinating their children.
Mike Adams of NaturalNews.com
pointed out that despite the paper’s
18
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
claims to have the best interests
of children at heart, the Australian
Telegraph has run ads for companies
that supply vaccines, including Pfizer,
its unethical promotion of vaccination
could be motivated by financial self
interest. (http://www.naturalnews.
com/040301_Australian_Telegraph_
medical_child_abuse_vaccinations.
html)
On May 29, The Daily Telegraph
reported: “In a win for The Sunday
Telegraph and The Daily Telegraph,
whose No Jab, No Play campaign
called on the state government to ban
non-immunised children from daycare
facilities, Health Minister Jillian
Skinner has amended the Public
Health Act to make the checking of
vaccine records compulsory – and
to give staff the power to turn away
those who aren't up to date.
“Parents will only be able to apply for
exemptions if they have GP advice
that shows jabs would be harmful
to the child or if it is against their
religion.”
However, this reporting is wrong:
the actual law passed simply
requires parents to produce
either a vaccination certificate or
conscientious objection certifcate
when enrolling a child in a childcare
centre.
In the USA, public action has
prevented the passing of a law that
would have reduced parental choice
concerning vaccination. Public
opposition to a proposed law which
would have made it legal for doctors
to vaccinate children under the age
of 16 year with HPV and/or Hepatitis
B vaccines without parental consent
meant that the legislation was
withdrawn.(http://www.naturalnews.

Successes such as the defeat of the
bill which would have made it legal to
vaccinate underage children without
parental consent has roused the ire
of the vaccination industry. Bill and
Melinda Gates’ Foundation and WHO
August - November 2013
have joined up to fund a new project
to monitor the efforts of groups
which want to maintain freedom
of choice concerning vaccination.

Medication choice
under attack
In the USA, the Alliance for Natural
Health has rallied its supporters about
draft legislation from the Senate
Committee on Health, Education,
Labor, and Pensions (HELP) that
they believed would limit access
to some medications prepared by
compounding pharmacies including
low dose naltrexone and personalised
hormone replacement products. The
ANH reported that some significant
changes have been made to the
legislation but more needs to be done
to ensure health freedom. (http://

Victory for pure water
advocates in NZ
Fluoride Action Network NZ (www.
fannz.org.nz) and local activists in
Hamilton won a significant victory
for the people of Hamilton in June
when the Hamilton Council voted
seven to one to remove fluoride from
the city’s water supply. The decision
was made after a tribunal process in
which proponents and opponents of
fluoride were invited to supply written
information and give presentations
to the councillors. However, the
disssenting councillor has called for
city-wide referendum on this issue,
so activists have more work to do. To

OPINION
A Terminal Case
of Conflict-ofInterest Disorder
By James P. Hilton
“Thirty years ago, Henry Gadsden,
the head of Merck” said his long time
“dream” was “...to make drugs for
healthy people so that Merck could
sell to everyone...drug companies are
systematically working to widen the...
boundaries that define illness... As
more and more of ordinary life becomes
medicalized, the industry moves ever
closer to Gadsden’s dream.” – Pulitzer
Prize winning authors Ray Moynihan and
Alan Cassels
In medical circles the Diagnostic and
Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders
(or DSM) is known as as the bible of
psychiatric disorders. And because
gigantic potential for amassing power
and getting rich come with creating
more “conditions” some doctors
nervously joke how the book “doubles”
in size with each new addition.
Not so long ago Lisa Cosgrove, an
associate professor at the University
of Massachusetts, Boston and a
residential research fellow at the
Edmond J. Safra Center for Ethics
at Harvard University conducted an
investigation into financial linkages
between DSM-IV panel members (the
rule makers of this so-called “bible”)
and the pharmaceutical business.
And surprise, surprise! You’ll never
guess what she and her team turned
up: Not just one or two, or even half
the doctors, but a disgusting 100%
of the members on these panels
drafting the rules (on which laws are
based) concerning things like “Mood
Disorders”, “Schizophrenia” and “Other
Psychotic Disorders” had financial ties
to pharmaceutical companies!!
One Assistant Director of the Pediatric
Psychopharmacology Unit at
Massachusetts General Hospital and
an Associate Professor of Psychiatry
at Harvard Medical School reportedly
received $1,000,000 dollars from
“consulting” and drug company work
between 2000 and 2007.
That translates into a million reasons
for crooks in white lab coats to turn a
blind eye to thousands of horrendous,
fully documented side effects and to
instead give a green light to push yet
more poison (psychiatric drugs) – even
on innocent children.
As far back as May of 2006 The Times
Online ran a story entitled, “Drug
Companies Inventing Diseases to Boost
Their Profits.”
One item, published in the journal,
Public Library of Science Medicine
documented how “Pharmaceutical
companies are systematically creating
diseases in order to sell more of their
products... and [are] promoting nonexistent illnesses or exaggerating minor
ones ...”
The report cited “restless leg syndrome”
[and] ... “ordinary shyness... as a social
anxiety disorder.”
A few of the more controversial
diagnostic labels that can now
be legally pinned on any person
using the Diagnostic and Statistical
“We have a form of care where we’re using these drugs in an
ever more expansive manner, and supposedly we have better
drugs and they’re the cornerstone of our care, so we should see
decreasing disability rates. That’s what your expectation would
be.
Instead, from 1987 until the present, we saw an increase in the
number of mentally disabled people from 3.3 million people
to 5.7 million people in the United States. In that time, our
spending on psychiatric drugs increased to an amazing degree.
Combined spending on antipsychotic drugs and antidepressants
jumped from around $500 million in 1986 to nearly $20 billion
in 2004. So we raise the question: Is the use of these drugs
somehow actually fueling this increase in the number of the
disabled mentally ill?
When you look at the research literature, you find a clear
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
Manual of Mental Disorders are
“Reading Disorder,” “Disorder of
Written Expression,” “Mathematics
Disorder,” “Herbal Remedies Disorder”,
“Orthorexia Nervosa” (a supposed
obsession with healthy eating),
and perhaps my all time favorite,
“Noncompliance With Treatment
Disorder”.
Now math was not my best subject, but
I could easily be in the running for five
out of six of those. Guess that’s one
way to bully us all into either buying
their stinking “products” or else have
us locked away in an institution for not
buying them!
Way back at the founding of our
republic, Dr. Benjamin Rush, the very
first U.S. Surgeon General and co-signer
of the Declaration of Independence
penned the following prophetic words:
“Unless we put medical freedom into
the constitution, the time will come
when medicine will organize itself into
an undercover dictatorship.”
Looks like Dr. Rush hit the nail straight
on its head. Today America is teetering
on the brink of that sad time he could
have only imagined in his wildest
dreams. And now the corrupt medical
drug pushers are coming, stethoscopes
dangling, pills in hand, to hook your
kids.

pattern of outcomes with all these drugs – you see it with the
antipsychotics, the antidepressants, the anti-anxiety drugs
and the stimulants like Ritalin used to treat ADHD. All these
drugs may curb a target symptom slightly more effectively than
a placebo does for a short period of time, say six weeks. An
antidepressant may ameliorate the symptoms of depression
better than a placebo over the short term. What you find with
every class of these psychiatric drugs is a worsening of the
target symptom of depression or psychosis or anxiety over
the long term, compared to placebo-treated patients. So
even on the target symptoms, there’s greater chronicity and
greater severity of symptoms. And you see a fairly significant
percentage of patients where new and more severe psychiatric
symptoms are triggered by the drug itself.” – Robert Whitaker

Calcium Supplements
Increase Heart
Attack Risk by 86%
By Sayer Ji, Founder www.greenmedinfo.com
New research published in the journal Heart
has confirmed the findings of two controversial
studies on calcium supplementation and heart
attack risk published in the British Medical
Journal last year, and which found a 24-27%
increased risk of heart attack for those who
took 500 mg of elemental calcium a day.[1] [2]
The results of this newest review, involving
24,000 people between the ages of 35 and 64,
were even more alarming. Those participants
who took a regular calcium supplement
increased their risk of having a heart attack
by 86% versus those who took no calcium
supplements at all.
Why Do We Obsessively
Consume Rock, Bone And
Shell Calcium?
People really should not be so surprised at
the idea that calcium supplementation may be
toxic to cardiovascular health. After all, many
subject themselves to coronary and cardiac
calcium scans in order to ascertain their risk of
cardiovascular events and/or cardiac mortality.
This is because we know that calcium of the
20
The NZ Journal of Natural Medicine
wrong kind in the wrong place can result in
serious adverse health effects. There are, in
fact, quite a few people in the field of nutrition
who have long warned against supplementation
with elemental calcium; which is to say, calcium
from limestone, oyster shell, egg shell and bone
meal (hydroxylapatite).
The seemingly universal popularity of taking
elemental calcium supplements results from
the promotional efforts of conventional health
“experts” and organizations like the National
Osteoporosis Foundation (whose corporate
sponsors include the calcium manufacturers
Oscal and Citrical). Also, the World Health
Organization created a radically new definition
of “normal” bone density in 1994 when it took
the 25-year old young adult standard (which is
peak bone mass in a women’s life cycle), also
known as the “T-score,” and applied it to all
women, irrespective of their age.
This resulted in redefining the normal and
gradual loss of bone mineral density that
comes with aging as a disease, essentially
medicalizing a non-condition. It also resulted
in millions of women being coerced into taking
unnecessary (and dangerous) “bone-building”
drugs and inorganic calcium supplements
to drive bone mineral density higher, by any
means necessary. Suddenly, healthy women
were being told they had a disease called
“osteopenia” or “osteoporosis,” even while their
bone mineral density was normal for their age,
gender and ethnicity (which would have been
clear as day, had the age-mediated “Z-score”
been used). Moreover, the #1 and #2 cause of
death in women are heart disease and cancer,
respectively, with heart attack and breast
cancer being the primary causes of morbidity
and mortality.
Inorganic or “elemental” calcium, when not
bound to the natural co-factors, e.g. amino
acids, lipids and glyconutrients, found in “food”
(which is to say other living beings, e.g. plants
and animals), no longer has the intelligent
delivery system that enables your body to utilize
it in a biologically appropriate manner. Lacking
this “delivery system,” the calcium may end
up going to places you do not want (ectopic
calcification), or go to places you do want
(e.g. the bones), but in excessive amounts,
stimulating unnaturally accelerated cell-division
(osteoblasts), resulting in higher bone turnover
rates later in life. For a comprehensive list of
Vegetables with high calcium levels, visit the
NutritionData.com page on the topic.
