Legal Defense Fund Established for Washington Alternative Medicine Promoter

From a press release.

Barbara Brewitt, M.Div., Ph.D. and Biomed Comm Inc, innovators
homeopathic natural medicines are under an aggressive attack by the
Washington State Department of Health/Board of Pharmacy as well as a
campaign aimed to destroy the business, her character and credibility. The
State issued a Cease and Desist order on Feb 7, 2006 on the grounds of
"Although the products are not known to inflict harm to patients, a real
risk exists that patients will forego effective treatment in favor or
untested and questionably manufactured drugs." The WA State Secretary of
Health echoed "A Cease and Desist.procedure occurs when it is determined
that the public interest will be irreparably harmed if the order is
delayed."
The campaign against many providers of natural medicine around the
country is aimed at destroying the dominant use of complementary and
alternative medicines (CAM) and redirect the public interest exclusively
back to conventional medicine. The aggressors know that the 'targets' have
small inadequate funds to fight the black ops working to eliminate their
intent and vocational work.
A legal defense fund established for Brewitt will resist that
assumption and defeat the black ops efforts behind the Board of Pharmacy and
the media campaign that has been aimed to destroy Brewitt's leading edge
innovative homeopathic cell signaler proteins that combine pharmaceuticals
and natural medicine providing clinically proven safe and effective natural
options.
Gandhi once said, "They are really terrified when they have to
humiliate us to try to control us". Use of complementary and alternative
medicine is used by 74.6% of the US adult population according to a 2002
survey .
Jim Turner and Carlos Negrete as well as local specialist attorneys
have been retained to fight this legal attack on Brewitt and Biomed Comm,
Inc. Allegations against Brewitt individually and as Biomed Comm, Inc.
include such outlandish claims as selling methamphetamines, posing as a
chiropractor and medical doctor, manufacturing illegal drugs and practicing
medicine without a license. Turner and Negrete are long time advocates of
natural medicine and are engaged in several similar cases around the
country. Carlos stated "Jim and I can say with some confidence that your
case fits the pattern." The pattern is the well-planned and well-financed
formula-like efforts to use the word "Health Fraud" as a rationale to

Alternative Medicine Provider Is Sentenced In Colorado

By Jon Sarche, Associated Press http://tinyurl.com/mbjxx

An alternative medicine practitioner was sentenced Monday to 13 years
in prison in the death of a 19-year-old cancer victim who underwent a
procedure in which his blood was exposed to ultraviolet light.
Brian O'Connell pleaded guilty last month to criminally negligent
homicide in the death of Sean Flanagan. He also pleaded guilty to illegally
practicing medicine and other charges.
O'Connell practiced naturopathy, which relies on natural remedies. He
treated Flanagan and others by removing blood, exposing it to light and
returning it to the body with hydrogen peroxide.
Prosecutors said he lied about his education and credentials.
He had asked for leniency, saying he didn't know it was illegal to
call himself a doctor or to use some the invasive treatments he performed.
"I never did any of this out of malice," he said. "I did not intend to
steal money, hope, time or anything from any of the people I worked with."
Judge Margie Enquist was unsympathetic. "People came to you in the
most desperate of situations and you took advantage of them," she said.
Flanagan's father told the judge there was never any doubt his son
would die of Ewing's sarcoma, a bone cancer. But he said the family thought
alternative treatment could prolong his life.
David Flanagan and his wife said after the hearing that they believed
the sentence was fair.
O'Connell was also sentenced to a concurrent three-year jail term on
two misdemeanor charges.

Why Signing A Waiver To Avoid Vaccines Can Be Considered Abuse

By Anai Rhoads Ford from the Idaho Observer
http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20060321.htm

Recently, The Washington Post printed an article about vaccine
waivers that could jeopardize your parental rights.1 In the article was the
following comment: "The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
doctors ask parents who refuse to vaccinate their children to sign a waiver
indicating they are aware of the risks of refusal."
Despite the fact that vaccines have been linked to asthma, autism,
diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome, the author implied that parents
are being overly theatrical about the shots.
Know Your Rights By endorsing this particular waiver, parents would
essentially be signing an admission of neglect and/or "abuse" for refusing
vaccines. The language contained in this waiver could put parents and
caregivers in jeopardy later if they should ever find themselves in the
courts due to their child's health problems, when confronted with child
protective services, divorce, or just about any matter pertaining to their
child that could be used against the parent(s).
Please read any waiver provided by your child's doctor, daycare or
school carefully before signing. Instead, offer a formally written and
signed letter that simply states that you do not wish to vaccinate your
child. If you are unsure of the language in the waiver, buy some time by
telling your doctor or the school that you need to consult with a lawyer
before signing it.
Know your rights-say no to vaccines. Your doctor will try to bully
you-you have the right to refuse anything you feel is harmful to your child.
If your doctor won't listen, go to another doctor who will.
Check your state's laws regarding vaccine exemptions. Most states will
allow you to avoid vaccinations if you have a religious or ethical reason.
However, keep in mind that it is your right not to disclose your faith or
your full reasons for not wanting to vaccinate your child.

Scandal: Just Brewitt in a bathtub.
Barbara Brewitt PhD has been a figure in "autism biomed". She gave a
presentation at the last Autism One conference, it was called, Cell
Signaling: Fundamental Role in Healing and Relevance to Autism. There were
all kinds of quacky ideas presented at that Autism One conference, Brewitt
was just one of those promoting homeopathy.

Is she a homeopath? If so, what possible character and credibility
could she have left to destroy?


the Bowditch mirror reflecting back the Bow**** characterb traits.

"Not one case receiving homeopathic care died, while the "old school"
doctors lost twenty percent of their (smallpox) cases.....I gave about three
hundred internal vaccinations, five to adults acting as practical nurses; to
the man who installed the telephone and lights in the pest-house; to mothers
who slept with their children while they had smallpox in its severest form.
All of these people, exposed daily, were immune."--W. L. Bonnell, MD
http://www.whale.to/v/homeopathy6.html

One physician in a Pittsburgh hospital asked a nurse if she knew anything
better than what he was doing, because he was losing many cases. "Yes,
Doctor, stop aspirin and go down to a homeopathic pharmacy, and get
homeopathic remedies." The Doctor replied: "But that is homeopathy." "I know
it, but the homeopathic doctors for whom I have nursed have not lost a
single case."--W. F. Edmundson, MD, Pittsburgh. Treatment of epidemics
with Homeopathy by Julian Winston

"In the records of three years of Diphtheria in Broome County, NY from 1862
to 1864, there was a report of an 83.6% mortality rate among the allopaths
and a 16.4% mortality rate among the Homeopaths. (Bradford)."---Julian
Winston

"When the (1813 typhus) epidemic came through Leipzig as the army pulled
back from the east, Samuel Hahnemann, the founder of homeopathy, was able to
treat 180 cases of Typhus-- losing but two. This, at a time when the
conventional treatments were having a mortality rate of over 30%....When
Cholera finally struck Europe in 1831 the mortality rate (under conventional
treatment) was between 40% (Imperial Council of Russia)to 80% (Osler's
Practice of Medicine). Out of five people who contracted Cholera, two to
four of them died under regular treatment.Dr. Quin, in London, reported the
mortality in the ten homeopathic hospitals in 1831-32 as 9%.... In 1854 a
Cholera Epidemic struck London. This was a historically important epidemic
in that it was the first time the medical community was able to trace the
outbreak to a source (a public water pump), and when the pump was closed,
the epidemic soon ceased. The House of Commons asked for a report about the
various methods of treating the epidemic. When the report was issued, the
homeopathic figures were not included. The House of Lords asked for an
explanation, and it was admitted that if the homeopathic figures were to be
included in the report, it would "skew the results." The suppressed report
revealed that under allopathic care the mortality was 59.2% while under
homeopathic care the mortality was only 9%."--Julian Winston

"During the 1850s, there were several epidemics of Yellow Fever in the
southern states. This disease was eventually found to be transmitted by
mosquito. Osler, says that the allopathic mortality from Yellow Fever is
between 15-85%. Holcome, a homeopath, reported in 1853 a mortality of
6.43% in Natchez, and Dr. Davis, another homeopath in Natchez, reported
5.73%. In 1878 the mortality in New Orleans was 50% under allopathic care,
and 5.6% (in 1,945 cases in the same epidemic) with homeopathic
care."---Julian Winston

"The Journal of the American Institute for Homeopathy, May, 1921, had a long
article about the use of homeopathy in the flu epidemic. Dr. T A McCann,
from Dayton, Ohio reported that 24,000 cases of flu treated allopathically
had a mortality rate of 28.2% while 26,000 cases of flu treated
homeopathically had a mortality rate of 1.05%. This last figure was
supported by Dean W.A. Pearson of Philadelphia (Hahnemann College) who
collected 26,795 cases of flu treated with homeopathy with the above
result..... Dr. Herbert A. Roberts from Derby, CT, said that 30 physicians
in Connecticut responded to his request for data. They reported 6,602 cases
with 55 deaths, which is less than 1%. Dr. Roberts was working as a
physician on a troop ship during WWI. He had 81 cases of flu on the way over
to Europe. He reported, "All recovered and were landed. Every man received
homeopathic treatment. One ship lost 31 on the way."---Julian Winston

"What appears to emerge from the study is: a) Nosodes can effectively stop,
in its tracks, an outbreak of a highly transmissible disease (viz kennel
cough). b) That it does so, in this case, more effectively than the
presently available vaccines. c) That vaccination impairs the ability of
the animal to respond to the nosode."--Christoper Day, MA, Vet.M.B.,
M.R.C.VS. Vet.F.F.Hom (What Vets Don't Tell you about Vaccination, p 238 by
Catherine O'Driscol)

"John Saxton MRCVS VetMFHom presented a paper in 1991 describing the use of
the canine distemper nosode in disease control...The results showed that, of
dogs kept in the kennes for 8 days, 11.67% showed clinical signs of
distemper on the 5th day prior to the introduction of nosodes, dropping to
4.36% after the nosodes were introduced. Where the entire kennel
population was taken into account...the incidence of distemper dropped from
8.05% to 2.81% afetr the introduction of nosodes."---(What Vets Don't Tell
you about Vaccination, p 240 by Catherine O'Driscol)

Alternative Medicine Provider Is Sentenced In Colorado

By Jon Sarche, Associated Press http://tinyurl.com/mbjxx

An alternative medicine practitioner was sentenced Monday to 13 years
in prison in the death of a 19-year-old cancer victim who underwent a
procedure in which his blood was exposed to ultraviolet light.
Brian O'Connell pleaded guilty last month to criminally negligent
homicide in the death of Sean Flanagan. He also pleaded guilty to illegally
practicing medicine and other charges.
O'Connell practiced naturopathy, which relies on natural remedies. He
treated Flanagan and others by removing blood, exposing it to light and
returning it to the body with hydrogen peroxide.
Prosecutors said he lied about his education and credentials.
He had asked for leniency, saying he didn't know it was illegal to
call himself a doctor or to use some the invasive treatments he performed.
"I never did any of this out of malice," he said. "I did not intend to
steal money, hope, time or anything from any of the people I worked with."
Judge Margie Enquist was unsympathetic. "People came to you in the
most desperate of situations and you took advantage of them," she said.
Flanagan's father told the judge there was never any doubt his son
would die of Ewing's sarcoma, a bone cancer. But he said the family thought
alternative treatment could prolong his life.
David Flanagan and his wife said after the hearing that they believed
the sentence was fair.
O'Connell was also sentenced to a concurrent three-year jail term on
two misdemeanor charges.

Why Signing A Waiver To Avoid Vaccines Can Be Considered Abuse

By Anai Rhoads Ford from the Idaho Observer
http://www.proliberty.com/observer/20060321.htm

Recently, The Washington Post printed an article about vaccine
waivers that could jeopardize your parental rights.1 In the article was the
following comment: "The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that
doctors ask parents who refuse to vaccinate their children to sign a waiver
indicating they are aware of the risks of refusal."
Despite the fact that vaccines have been linked to asthma, autism,
diabetes, and sudden infant death syndrome, the author implied that parents
are being overly theatrical about the shots.
Know Your Rights By endorsing this particular waiver, parents would
essentially be signing an admission of neglect and/or "abuse" for refusing
vaccines. The language contained in this waiver could put parents and
caregivers in jeopardy later if they should ever find themselves in the
courts due to their child's health problems, when confronted with child
protective services, divorce, or just about any matter pertaining to their
child that could be used against the parent(s).
Please read any waiver provided by your child's doctor, daycare or
school carefully before signing. Instead, offer a formally written and
signed letter that simply states that you do not wish to vaccinate your
child. If you are unsure of the language in the waiver, buy some time by
telling your doctor or the school that you need to consult with a lawyer
before signing it.
Know your rights-say no to vaccines. Your doctor will try to bully
you-you have the right to refuse anything you feel is harmful to your child.
If your doctor won't listen, go to another doctor who will.
Check your state's laws regarding vaccine exemptions. Most states will
allow you to avoid vaccinations if you have a religious or ethical reason.
However, keep in mind that it is your right not to disclose your faith or
your full reasons for not wanting to vaccinate your child.

Is she a homeopath?


What does is matter what she is?


If so, what possible character and credibility
could she have left to destroy?


One's character is no based on one's profession...

One's credibility is not based on one's profession.


That entirely depends, Jan. If one is a homeopath or a bank-robber, it
certainly is.

Surely it matters when someone is whining about homeopathy.

What do you think of the character of people who make child
pornography films for a living, Jan?


One's credibility is not based on one's profession.


What do you think of the credibility of people who defraud little old
ladies of their life savings for a living, Jan?

Need I point out that you constantly base judgments of both character
and credibility on the profession of the speaker. What else could you
mean when you use the term "organised medicine" as a slur?

snip stuff that doesn't get any better or more credible just by being

That is rhetoric. The facts are that she markets a product that does not
do what she claims it will do, and the ingredients are questionable.

Imagine if you bought a Bible and it were written by Satan.

I just see the truth that Biomed Comm Inc.
doesn't offer a product that does what it claims and may not have the
ingredients that it claims.


*may*????

Now for the *TRUTH, that Jeff can not see.

Although the products are not known to ***inflict harm to patients****, a
real
risk exists that patients will forego effective treatment in favor or
untested and questionably manufactured drugs."


The pattern is the well-planned and well-financed
formula-like efforts to use the word "Health Fraud" as a rationale to
destroy leading edge people and companies in the natural product industry.

Thanks, Washington State Gov't for doing a good job.
