I have TWO interesting articles for you today... (1) Anger in Indiana - The " Cal Streeter " Story Batters State... Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen Monday, June 26th, 2006 On May 31st, 2006, in this newsletter, I revealed some details about a project I've been working on for a while. In that article, called the " The Cal Streeter Story... " I talked about " one of the most important cases in US healthcare, an assault, and a turning point... " The " Cal Streeter Story " is ripping health care regulation apart in Indiana - and it needs to be ripped apart. A few months ago, for instance, an Indiana Court ordered the State Medical Board, using VERY STRONG language, to restore Streeter's license to practice medicine IMMEDIATELY. The Board, clearly defying the Indiana Court, waited a full ninety days (90) to restore the license, then filed an Appeal with the State Appellate Court over the restoration order. The State Appeals Court rejected the Medical Board's appeal rather abruptly - refusing, as it were, to even look at the Board's case, making it clear that, no matter what the Board, itself, thinks, or wants, " the law is the law... " So, in the end, what this means is that, the Indiana State Medical Board had absolutely no right, what-so-ever, to even question Cal Streeter's ability to practice medicine over the issues they presented. The Indiana Courts have spoken. But now, in response, the PEOPLE of Indiana are beginning to speak loudly. And, the questions they are asking are all about " how " this happened to their doctor, and " who " was it that abused the Indiana regulatory system, " what " was it they actually did to manipulate the system, " where, " exactly did this manipulation take place. Most importantly, the question " why " comes to the forefront - as in " who gained " from this anti-Streeter action - and THAT question-line is just beginning. For it's time to pay the piper... No longer, in America, can the assault against cutting-edge health practices go without cost to the attacker.

By Jon Rappoport www.nomorefakenews.com The pharmaceutical machine and its cohorts operate along two basic hidden vectors: selling drugs that cause harm, injury and death, and suppressing promising non-toxic cures. In the first case, we have the rarely published figure of 100,000 annual deaths in the US a result of correctly prescribed, FDA-approved drugs. That's 100,000 DEATHS. The original mainstream article on this was written by Linda Marsa for the LA Times (January 8, 2001). It was based on a 1998 University of Toronto study, which not only announced that 100,000 Americans die every year of reactions to pharmaceutical drugs, but that 2.1 million MORE Americans are hospitalized for the same reason. In 1999, the US FDA was sent 258,000 reports of " adverse drug events. " Normally, you can multiply what the FDA gets by 10 to a 100 to find the true figure. Actually, Harvard goes even further. Dr. David Bates, associate professor of medicine at Harvard, told the Times, " ...these numbers translate to 36 million adverse drug events per year. " One reason for these horrendous figures: when these drugs are tested for safety on humans, prior to approval for licensing by the FDA, the drug companies themselves do the tests and do them very briefly---a few weeks or so in many cases. The shorter the time period the better, as far as the drug companies are concerned. They find fewer cases of damage and death. BOTH SIDES OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL DEATH COIN...

But, there are literally, " Millions " of people forcing change on that system. This newsletter is about all of that. Tim Bolen is an op/ed writer with extensive knowledge, and contacts, on this subject.
