That's pure fiction sorry to say. There's nothing free about USA.
And more freedoms evaporate daily.
Take "raw almonds" for example.
They are not what you think - and you have no choice about it. The FDA
has decreed that they WILL be "pasteruized". (and you should see what
THEY call "pasteurization"!
That of course destroys their health benefits from delicate easily
oxidized essential fatty acids - especially omega-9 and other
monounsaturated fatty acids for example. the FDA's "excuse" is that they
might otherwise carry salmonella. Well we do NOt have the freedom to
choose to take the salmonella risk and eat genuine fresh raw almonds.
Where did our freedom to choose go on that one?
Nor does FDA care that we get genetically modified food mixed in with
the normal kind - complete with genetically produced insecticides etc.
The grain companies like Monsanto persuaded the FDa that the GM stuff is
"essentially the same" and the FDA bought it and unlike Europe - they
let it all get mixed together.
WE have no freedom of choice in that!
Do you REALLY think people have the freedom to choose a veterinary
homeopath for their pets? Or a people homeopath for their own health? Do
hyou really tbhink a homeopath can openly hang a shingle just anywhere
in USa and practise openly?
If so you are dreaming. There is no such freedom.
Nor is there freedom of choice to avoid rabies vaccines for totally
indoor pets with zero risk of rabies.
What kind of freedom of choice is that?
As a cat breeder I may not own more than 4 cats. What kind of freedom of
choice is that?
My grandson was paralysed for 2 weeks after a polio vaccine he had no
choice about - it was just done at school one day - with his mother told
- do it or he is tossed out of school.
Freedom?????
I could go on all night- it's crazy to think this is a free country.
If you try to bring your kids up holistically they are taken away from
you by child services!!!
That's "freedom"?????
No way.
This country is anything but free!!!
It's all lip-service and hype.
Now the FDA is going along with the latest big pharma long-term plans
(started in the mid-90s to "get rid of the competition from alternative
medicine" by FIRST putting CODEX in place - witout public involvemwetn -
the control rules world-wide so as to disallow overseas loophole
suppliers - and THEN (now) to add in the rules to put everything we need
on prescription by allopaths who know nothing about it.
That's ALL part of "getting rid of the competition from alternative
medicine".
Hills Science Diet and Bayer did the original study and spent if I
remember around 6 million bucks to decide how best to "get rid of the
competition from alternative medicine". One next step was a
collaboration between 8 companies in big pharma and big pet food
manufacture - with AVMA - in which their products would be promoted in
return for HUGE funding of plans over many years to get rid of the
competition - for example by promoting new "proposed veterinary practise
laws" (which force alternative medicine practitioners out of business)
and lobbying to get them into law ion each state - which they have done
with success in several states already.
They came up with a long-term plan and steps along the way - and they
are inexorably going ahead with it - under our very noses - while naiive
consumers pretend it is not happening (out of disbelief or whatever excuse.)
How is all that freedom of choice?
It's money that HAS changed it.
Grain companies like Monsanto are the money that hid the GM in our food.
Drug and food companies are behind the concerted effort to get rid of
the competition from alternative health. That's BIG money.
And what about the disgusting tactics these people use to pass laws at
3am when the opponents are home asleep?
Like S.3546 for example?
You probably never even heard there was going to be a law - much less
had the freedom of choice to comment on it as is supposed to happen in a
Republic!
S.3546 is the the "Dietary Supplement and Nonprescription Drug Consumer
Protection Act" and "Adverse Event Reporting" bill.
This new law pretty much reverses the effects of the hard-won DSHEA act
of 1994 which was designed to protect access to supplements and
remedies. Thank Sen Dick Durbin for the dastardly S.3546.
It was defeated TWICE at congressional level and then they devised the
midnight scheme to get it through:
1.03am Brief debate in house.1.42am YEas and nays called for.
Vote was a clear no and many opponenets of the bill went home - assuming
it was well defeated.
3am Head count called to ensure the yea/nay had indeed defeated the
bill. Officially there's a five minute time limit for contring votes and
at that poinmt the vote was no.
But BArton continued on till the head count was such that those still
present could make the bill pass - een thouigh 100 congreemen has
specifically votred against it earlier.
Nor did it go to a hearing as it should have done. It was just sneaked
through, and our dear President Bush duly signed it into law.
This is American Freedom of choice??????
S3546 was the first step in the FDA fully controlling and regulating all
supplements. Well it's in place and nobody asked YOUR opinion as a
citizen in a supposedly free country.
And by the way - the timing of this bill going to Congress was also
contrived - it was on the last day of a closing congress - in the middle
of the night. something THAT significant was so much manipulated!
Do you still feel it's a "free" country?
