Subject: More FDA interference/Truncated title

Two days ago I posted a similar post to parts of this one immdeiately 
following asking if it was real news or a hoax. My title got truncated 
and the question removed. No one responded and so the question remains.

"South Africa 9 July 2003 - US President George W Bush has been greeted 
in Capetown by demonstrators enraged at US politics towards Africa and 
the World. Bush is on a tour of several African nations and has been 
received today by South African president Thabo Mbeki. According to a 
BBC report--> [http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3056674.stm] 
<http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/3056674.stm> President Bush 
highlighted the fight against Aids. He praised efforts to tackle the 
disease in South Africa, which has the largest HIV-infected population 
in the world. "America is willing to put up the resources in the fight," 
he said. President Mbeki has taken a courageous stand-->

the AIDS issue, says Anthony Rees, director of Education and Research at 
the HONERI--> [http://www.honeri.org/] <http://www.honeri.org/> 
Institute in South Africa. At the international AIDS summit held in 
Durban in 2000, Mbeki had ignited a firestorm of criticism by asking 
dissident scientists including Peter Duesberg, who questioned whether 
HIV causes AIDS to advise him on the epidemic. Subsequently, South 
Africa took a firm stand against the pharmaceutical multinationals over 
royalties for the production of life saving drugs. Just days ago, Mbeki 
was informed by Rees of a complaint

filed before the International Criminal Court in The Hague which accuses 
Bush and some of his closest collaborators of crimes of war. The 
directors of multinational pharmaceutical companies including Pfizer, 
Merck, GlaxoSmithKline, Novartis, Amgen and Astra Zeneca are also named 
in the complaint-->

charging they deliberately prevented life-saving natural alternatives to 
drug based treatments from being applied in prevention and cure of 
mankind's great "killer diseases". According to the BBC report, Bush and 
Mbeki "emphasised their points of agreement", rather than their 
differences. Anthony Rees reports about the Capetown demonstration.

These immediately following are in regard to disturbing actions by the 
FDA, and others attempting to limit our abilities to cure through means 
considered unconventional by the likes of the FDA and 'Big Pharma'.

"9 July 2003 - World arm wrestling champion Jason Vale will face FDA 
backed court action in New York on 14 July for sharing the seeds that 
allowed him to overcome terminal cancer. The case is about 
constitutional rights of free speech but also touches our right to 
choose treatment of our liking - without government interference. Jason, 
who cured himself of cancer by prayer and eating apricot seeds, 
containing Vitamin B17, and who has subsequently helped others in 
similar condition by supplying the seeds, is being challenged by the FDA 
to stop it or else. The FDA-initiated legal action which will culminate 
in a trial to be held this coming 14 July before Judge John Gleeson of 
the Federal Eastern District of New York. Call to action: Those in New 
York please organize a demonstration to express support. Others - spread 
the word. (7/9/2003 2:17:50 PM)"

"3 July 2003 - London The Standing Committee on Health of the House of 
Commons, in a close vote, approved the proposed UK law that transforms 
the European Food Supplements directive into British law. 7 members of 
the 13-member committee accepted the government's proposed Statutory 
Instrument, which spells out the details of application of th new EU 
rules on supplements. The vote comes after the House of Lords-->

<http://www.newmediaexplorer.org/sepp/2003/07/01/uk_house_of_lords_votes_against_eu_supplements_directive.htm>
had rejected the same law in an overwhelming, but non-binding motion. In 
an apparent attempt to head off intensive consumer lobbying and to 
ensure a politically correct outcome of the vote, the Standing 
Committee's members were shuffled on the morning of the vote with six 
new members being appointed just hours before the decision approving the 
government's proposal. There was no debate in the House of Commons. 
Update about the vote count in Committee (8 July 2003): Apparently the 
Government are now saying that the vote was actually AYES 8 NOES 6 (as 
opposed to AYES 7 NOES 6, which was what was read out at the end of the 
vote by the clerk). Apparently "the clerk read it out wrongly". A rarer 
than rare occurrence apparently..... Kind regards ---------- From: XXXXX 
Date: Fri, 4 Jul 2003 15:31:30 +0100 To: YYYYY Subject: RE: Standing 
Committee It was 8-6 - the clerk read it out wrong initially. The 
frustrating thing was that one of the Labour members was willing to vote 
the other way if it made the difference - but because if he did it would 
have been 7-7, the Government would have won on the Chairman's casting 
vote. Which means that if Dr Evan Harris, the Lib Dem health spokesman 
had bothered to turn up, the Government would have lost 8-7. 
Infuriating. From: YYYYY Sent: 04 July 2003 12:49 To: XXXXX Subject: RE: 
Standing Committee Can you confirm, the outcome of the vote. I believed 
it was a majority of 7 to 6 in favour of the directive. I believe you 
have said it was 8 to 6. Please clarify this when you have a moment. I 
will shortly be writing a press release on yesterday's meeting.

Cure-All" into taking action based on complaints generated almost 
entirely by the quackbusters themselves. With various legal actions 
challenging these quackbusters already underway and a RICO 
(racketeering) complaint in the wings, this promises to become an 
interesting fight. Who is going to win, pharmaceutical interests or 
freedom of choice? (7/8/2003 3:39:55 PM)"

"In France, reports Emma Holister <mailto:>-->

[http://www.CandidaInternational.org], it is strictly prohibited for 
anyone but a medical doctor to heal someone, to prescribe a remedy, or

Sylvie Simon in her book "Healing, al Illegal Practice". The

without recourse to expensive and toxic pharmaceutically prescribed 
treatments, or in Canada, where nutritional help for the mentally ill is 
being suppressed because "it hasn't been researched", meaning it's not 
coming from pharma. It is time we examined this highly aberrated state 
of affairs and took back our right to self-determination and our freedom 
to choose! (7/8/2003 2:11:13 PM)"

Signature Memetic Virus--The worst enemy of those who now or will need medical 
care is the politician and proselytizing religious fanatic who proscribes what 
doctors are allowed to prescribe and research, with the consent of their 
patients. Those who understand this are strongly encouraged to modify this to 
fit their personality, and add this to their signature file, and organize to 
recover our freedom from Big Brother. For those who wait until they are sick, it
will be too late. Those who suffer from diseases which might have been cured by
fetal tissue research or schedule 1 drugs banned by Big Brother, have the right
to hold accountable those who sat on their hands or worse, deferred their 
responsibility for personal and humanity's survival to useless gods and 
pontificating religious quacks, while they remained ill and dying.
