criteria for evaluation of treatment

[Adam Blatner]

Dear Bud, you may be right.
     Yet the conspiracy theory that explains the resistance of mainstream thought to innovation requires a degree of impermeability of secrecy. Whether such conspiracies can sustain their suppression of truth without some leaks or whistle-blowers will, I guess, be exposed in the future.
      
     In the second part of your letter you raise the issue of libertarianism, in the spirit of Thomas Szasz. One can plausibly argue for the right for access to all medicines, drugs, intoxicants, or anything without requiring prescriptions or any legally supported intermediate process. What must be sacrificed is the sense that there should be any regulations at all acting as a barrier between entrepreneurs and customers. It's a free market, buyer beware. No FDA evaluation of safety or efficacy. Any quack can compete with products with good evidence, if the quack can market persuasively. Who is to say what is truth? Let people decide for themselves? Maybe so. Maybe not. 
     So there's a fundamental mixture of two themes here regarding ethics: One is the question of who should set standards, and the second is what shall we do in a collective fashion versus what we do individually. 

     Warmly, Adam

  Dear Adam:

  I am not sure, perhaps your "present level of awareness" has not allowed you to really look deeply into either the work of Hoffer and Osmond or the work of Bernard Rimland and the DAN group regarding autism.If not, just google Abram Hoffer or check out Orthomolecular psychiatryat : http://www.orthomed.org/jom/jomlist.htm

  For a treat, just check out the following site especially look at the videos of recovered autistic children on their site at  http://www.autism.org 

  There is a lot of good research around both of these. If you go to the hundreds of pages about orthomolecular psychiatry, you will see them. I will look up the apology by the panel of judges that invalidated the Orthomolecular psychiatric approach back in the 70s. The so called duplication which was not at all a duplication of the work of Hoffer and Osmond was done at Rockland State Hospital here in New York.  One of my Uncles was one of the pharmacist at Rockland State at the time. He was appauled at the way they were doing the duplication as it was clear to him they were cheating. He valued his job and his retirment and had seen worse things in his career there and elsewhere and kept his mouth shut. 
  The NIH has been and continues to be in league with the pharmaceuticals who are some of the biggest contributors to campaign funds in the US. If you don't think that is a problem, I don't know what to say. They gave some little openings to alternative treatments and I mean very little. I have many stories about their working together with the American Cancer Society old boys network sabotaging cancer treatments and continuing instead to direct monies to their buddies ( I will excuse the reference)  and that is one of the the reasons that the Germans work hasn't come here yet. They are far more successful with elite treatments for most forms of cancer and are successful with these treatments to a high degree costing patients from the US a whole $1,000 a day for this elite treatment some of which, as I say is coming here slowly. 

  Of course I can tell you ojne horror story after another about AZT which is helping to kill off children and adults all over the world as they continue to use, when they have it, a test called the Western Blot for HIV which is even discredited in some major countries let alone the extraordinary research done by our teams seen on www.virusmyth.com 

  While I may applaud your scepticism at times, sometimes it clouds the eyes especially when relying on the "Mainstream" since they simply do not recognize that much good low level research has been going on for years which cannot compete with that often fraudulent research conducted by the large Multi Billion Dollar Pharmaceuticals who will do everything they can to promote their drugs, witness the recent hubub about Zyprexa and others, and prevent natural substances which are effective and cost little to replace their huge profits. 

  Here's one for you,. BHT 250 to 350  mg per day capsules will defeat most if not all cases of Herpes and support heart and circulatory function as well. In my work with AIDS patients, I have astounded many couples by leading them to that research and they were overjoyed and became healthier than myself as I suffer from that disease of the helping profession called not taking care of yourself while taking care of others. Here is a web site about the research and book about it "Wipe Out Herpes by Steven Fowkes http://www.delano.com/ReferenceArticles/BHT-Still-Working.html 

  There are hundreds of these things available but guess what. You have to go after them as there is too little profit in them. In addition, the health food industry is as cut throat as any other which confuses people as well. Their debacle about Coconut oil is typical where the manufacturers of various seed oils did everything they could to discredit one of the most useful, cheap, and healthy oils available, see http://www.mercola.com/2001/mar/24/coconut_oil.htm
  Dr. Mercola gives the short version and their is a hyperlink to Ray Peat's more intense version. 

  Nuff said. Dream on about the ligitmacy and ethicalness of the American medical profession and take a look at one of the statements by one of the signatories of the decloration of Independence, Benjamin Rush, MD, also known as the "Father of American Psychiatry." While his ideas about African or "Negroid" people were somewhat bizarre as were many at that time, he had it right about the following:  "Unless we put Medical Freedom into the Constitution, the time will come when medicine will organize into an undercover dictatorship . . . to restrict the art of healing to one class of men, and deny equal privilege to others... It will be to constitute the Bastille of Medical Science. All such laws are un-American and despotic and have no place in a Republic ... The Constitution of this Republic should make special privilege for Medical Freedom as well as Religious Freedom.

  Blessings from this heretic, Bud Weiss
