" QuackBlokes " Provoke " Down Under " Reaction...

 

" Star Chamber " activated in Australia

 

September 30th, 2004

 

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

 

 

 

New South Wales, Australia – The Australian Health Freedom Movement is

gearing up for war, once again. This time, it's over an assault

against a New South Wales doctor named Eckard Roehrich, who was hauled

before a " Star Chamber " and was " deregistered " on 21 September 2004

after he gave testimony in court on behalf of a family whose 11 year

old daughter was forced to have chemotherapy against her wishes, and

those of her parents.

 

The use of the " Star Chamber, " in actions against health professionals

in English speaking nations, has been one tactic employed, and

recommended, by the New York Ad Agency running the Big Pharma funded

" Quackbuster " operation. Since most English speaking nations have

their roots based in English Common Law, safeguards for individual

rights are built into each nation's legal system. The " Star Chamber "

bypasses those rights.

 

North American Health Freedom activists have discovered that Big

Pharma, through its " quackbuster " operation NEEDS a " Star Chamber "

operation in place, to do damage, for the Courts will not do Big

Pharma's bidding - and in fact, are hitting Big Pharma, and their

interests, HARD...

 

Hence, the " Star Chamber " concept has resurfaced - in the form, in

the USA, for instance, in what's called the " Administrative Law

System. " We've seen, in the last several years, a myriad of cases

run through this system totally, and absolutely, disregarding civil

rights. The actions of the two sleazy Wisconsin prosecutors, Arthur

Thexton, and James Polewski, are just " examples " of how the " Star

Chamber " ploy is used.

 

But the " Star Chamber " ploy, frankly, is not long for this world, if

the North American Health Freedom Movement has its way. In

Connecticut, for instance, in the Robban Sica MD case, the " Star

Chamber " concept is being openly challenged in Federal Court, heading

for a 2nd Circuit Court of Appeals Decision designed to stop Big

Pharma dead in its tracks. And another of those cases, the " Suster "

case, is being challenged in a Wisconsin State Court - purely on the

basis of violation of due process (Star Chamber) issues.

 

The " quackbusters, " in North America, are under overwhelming assault.

Several of their leadership, including infamous quackwatch.com author

Stephen Barrett, National Council Against Health Fraud (NCAHF)

president Bobbie Baratz, and others, are named in a now Federal

" Racketeering " (RICO) complaint. Barrett and Baratz are being sued in

Canada for their nefarious activities, and the NCAHF lost a major

court decision to the homeopaths where the Courts awarded attorney

fees the NCAHF has no ability to pay.

 

And, the North American Health Freedom Movement is accustomed to

having its way... " Freedom " is what English speaking nations are

about. Big Pharma's days are numbered. If you have pharmaceutical

stock in your retirement portfolio, dump it. Big Pharma is going down.

 

According to my friend Eve Hillary, who's there - Here's What Just

Happened in Australia...

 

 

 

Australian Doctor Deregistered after Helping Cancer Patient

 

By Eve Hillary - September 28th, 2004

 

Doctors around the world are being deregistered in droves by their

respective medical boards for doing nothing more than helping their

patients with nutritional and naturally based treatments.

 

Recent de-registrants include notable pioneers in natural treatments

including Dr. Durrant-Peatfield a UK doctor specializing in natural

therapies for thyroid, adrenal and chronic fatigue conditions, and Dr.

Serafina Corsello a respected holistic physician. Among those

relentlessly harassed by their medical boards were: Dr. Revici, an

internationally respected pioneer in the treatment of cancer by

nutritional and natural means; Dr. Warren Levine, who founded the

first Holistic Health Center in New York having helped thousands of

patients during the nearly 30 years he was in practice; Dr. Nicholas

Gonzales, also harassed had been granted a sizeable sum by the

National Cancer Institute to conduct testing on alternative cancer

therapy. The medical board of New Jersey deregistered Dr. Eric R.

Braverman MD, clinician and author, after authorities noted his unique

research and his success in treating serious conditions with holistic

therapies.

 

In Australia Dr. Eckard Roehrich, was deregistered on 21 September

2004 after he gave testimony in court on behalf of a family whose 11

year old daughter was forced to have chemotherapy against her wishes

and those of her parents. The child's treating oncologist at the John

Hunter Hospital in Newcastle contacted the department of community

services which instigated the forced treatment by way of a court order.

 

Dr. Roehrich, the family's primary physician practiced integrative

medicine, a combination of orthodox, complementary and evidence-based

alternative approaches to medicine. He had made several attempts to

gain humanitarian concessions for the child who was incarcerated in

the hospital without privileges such as a familiar diet, nutritional

supplements, regular walks out doors and visits from friends. The

hospital oncologist however, would not allow these concessions. On one

occasion, when her parents' visiting hours were severely restricted by

the welfare department, the girl tried to escape the hospital and was

returned to the ward and put on 24 hour watch.

 

Not long after his court appearance on behalf of the child and her

family, Dr. Roehrich began to receive letters from the New South Wales

Medical Board. The Board notified him that its delegates intended

entering the doctor's clinic to inspect his records and premises.

When the doctor required the Board to provide him with a reason for

its intended entry into his clinic without his consent, he was hauled

up before a special committee. After a short deliberation the 3

member New South Wales Medical Board Committee revoked his licence to

practice medicine on 21 September 2004. The Board allotted 3 days for

Dr. Roehrich to wind up his practice leaving his over 1000 patients

without medical care. The doctor's clinic was located in an area of

acute doctor shortage. Many of his seriously ill patients were in the

middle of treatments which had started to improve their health.

 

The doctor's deregistration has caused a community backlash against

the Medical Board. Already hundreds of patients have contacted the

doctor's clinic vowing their support for him.

 

The NSW Medical Board's action against Dr. Roehrich comes after its

decision earlier in the year to clear four doctors who were

investigated for poor practice after 14 deaths occurred at the

Campbelltown and Camden Hospitals west of Sydney. According to a

Sydney Morning Herald article on 23/1/04 the Medical Board cleared the

doctors even before a special inquiry could complete its

investigations into the deaths.

 

Dr. Roehrich maintains he was intensively targeted by the Medical

Board shortly after he testified for the family that was besieged by

the department of community services. He maintains when the welfare

department forced the child to have chemotherapy, he felt it was his

duty to help the family to reclaim their right to choose any valid

treatment options for their child.

 

The Medical Board has not provided Dr. Roehrich with specific reasons

for its suspension of his licence even though he has written to the

Board and telephoned them to request this information.

Yup. Things are going to get interesting in Australia... Very quickly.
