This letter from Fran Sheffield speaks for itself, so to speak.
Why is there a need or justification for applying the long arm of the law to genuine, truthful natural health services?
There is abundant evidence of conventional medical practices causing harm and even death to patients, plenty of references on this blog, thousands on the internet as a whole. Pharmaceutical companies and government instrumentalities who are blatantly corrupt. Agricultural companies creating dangerous products, again with official support.
Patients/users of natural health procedures have the normal recourse to litigation IF they are harmed by a practitioner product or recommendation. Is there any evidence of the need to protect people from themselves in the natural health services arena?
It is clear to me and I hope, most people, that what we see here is, in itself, criminal behaviour by the authorities. This is not justice, it is not scientifically valid, not medically logical, it is not fair, necessary or even sensible.
It can only be construed as an attack on the public without valid justification. It can be seen as underhanded protection of the medical industry who have themselves to blame if they are not providing responsible health services.
It makes no sense! The likely outcome of these attacks, and certain outcome if health practitioners are penalized, is that the public will become more aware that they are being shafted by the medical industry and the government. The chances of heavy-handedness of officious authorities back-firing against them, are real and will create a greater disrespect for the authorities and greater support for the natural health processes.
How pathetic of the authorities to lower themselves to such almost childish attacks. Have they no conceptual reality? For such persons to have such power to waste and misuse is an indictment on our justice system. What are they scared of? The truth? Are they protecting the public, or themselves?
“What do you think? Are these paragraphs misleading and deceptive? Do they warrant fast-tracking in the Federal Court? What does it mean when a government body breaches the terms and conditions of a private members’ area? How does material, no longer on a website, mislead and deceive people today? Should people have the right to freely access alternative health information?”
I think this summing up is exactly appropriate and I offer my support.

A Letter From Fran Sheffield
Today I will be in court – the Federal Court of Australia.
By the end of today I may no longer be allowed to speak or write on the homeopathic treatment and prevention of whooping cough. Why would this be?
