DO you?
May I ask - When last were you hauled into court to prove the assertions you make in this email?
I'm not saying anyoinwe should stop speaking out, but that the WAY to do it needs to be within the laws of the place where you live, and your suggestions in this emal will get you behind bars in a hurry. They are VERY off base. YOu hold a positioj of authority as head of a scool (as do I) and making assumptions as you do ere, can get an awful lot of people into UNneccesary hot water.
I have just been "hauled in" as you think is funny to put in quotes.
I was not even practicing homeopathy, I was "hauled in" for offering to find the constitutional type of a cat. The offer was declined, not a penny changed hands, and here I am supposedly practicing medicine. I have a strong contract term which my clinets sinn and agree in wrwiting (not a one-sided disclaimer).
All thrown out as invalid.
Only the 1994 Federal Supplements law in USA requires a disclaimer and requires it in specific wording. All other disclaimers are seen as attempts to say you are doing one thing when you are doing another - and are all thrown out. Even my contract term signed by client was invalid.
It reads as follows to give you an idea of what is NOT held valid in court:
12. * Please read, know and acknowledge you agree this aspect:
I am not a licensed veterinarian (DVM), but a veterinary homeopath (D.Vet.Hom). So my training excludes surgery and does not allow me to write prescriptions, diagnose and treat in this country/state of WA. You will be doing any treatment based on advice, information and recommendations from me that you choose to use or not. I shall recommend you see your vet for certain things if needed and it is always your prerogative to do so.
(Typical useful things from a vet in a FIP case are help with things like sub-Q hydration, Hills a/d food, and draining of FIP fluid if there is a lot and certain lab tests to discover useful information/diagnostics - and other items as needed - all can be very helpful indeed.)
State Agree/Disagree:
It is a FACT that three is an anti-homeopathy movement increasing daly in their virulence against homeopathy.
It is a FACT that I (and Fran) have been railroaded into court.
There are not "mights" Maria.
It will not hold up i ncourt.
Discuss homeopathy but not cases unless what you do is within the law where the writere lives.
All else is interpreted as claiming a cure, which is illegal in most states if not all.
You could discuss cass you have heard of.
Again - it depends on the law where you live.
Where I am, I did not step over the line but I'm being railroaded anyway. So I certainly would not advise anyone to discuss cases that ARE over the line per the law where YOU live.
We need to fight and get homeopathy back to being accepted, but the way to do it is not flaunt the law, but to work to change it,, and to educate - to educate on facts not pretense that nothig is wrong.
YOu would see it differently had YOU been "hauled into court" (the 'maybe' you add insults the profession) and then forced to cease and desist having anythg at all to do with homeopathy. How would THAT affect your life?
Maybe it is time to smell the roses - but do it while being mindful of the thorns.
READ the thorns - i.e. your local law.
Put you eneregy into impoving the law, not getting more poeple railroaded by it - which is NOT a "maye". It is happening.
If you still want to flaunt the law - by all means that is your decision for civil disobedience - but as head of a school I'd not suggest you advise others to flaunt it bllindly IN PUBLIC (this list IS public) as your email here does.
This afternoon they decide in MY case, whether I get called guilty without even a hearing. They already declined to see my evidecne of what a constitutional type is about. This is for real Maria - not a "maybe". And they know I have a school and tend to be outspoken about homeopathy - do you think it an accident I was unmaybely singled out?
Namaste,
Irene
