Guest guest Posted February 23, 2008 Report Share Posted February 23, 2008 Howdy Graham, > You may not be aware that last week the controllers of BBC Health > www.bbc.co.uk/health (Snipped) Thanks for the info .. and I am sure that you are not really all that surprised. This is the type action Tony Burfield and Martin Watt and others in the UK have been fighting against for a long time and they admit that they are probably fighting a losing battle. Though this was a decision by a managing editor of major media, we all know that the EU Parliament has long been making ridiculous decisions and passing unenforceable but threatening regulations designed to improve the lives of the " sheeple " .. I use this term because it appears that they think the people are not wise enough to know how many times they should wipe their butts after using the toilet. Almost without exception, these regulations are supported by recommendations from various " committees " made up of people who generally know nothing about alternative medicine .. recommendations based on pseudo scientific hypothesis rather than theory. Hypothesis is nothing more than an educated guess. In the world of science, a " theory " is as close to truth as we can get until it is proven and becomes a fact. A theory is a hypothesis that has been tested, double blind tested and peer reviewed .. a hypothesis graduates to the level of " theory " when all attempts to prove it wrong have failed .. and it continues to be a theory until a flaw is identified .. or it is proven to be a solid fact. Recommendations coming out of these committees and being passed by the EU Parliament are almost all based on information that is not pertinent to the world of alternative-complementary medicine .. or even perfumery. Bans are in place on use of certain Essential Oils based on results of testing of isolated, extracted chemical components of a particular EO .. even though there is absolutely no chance of these single chemical components being used by a human. Americans must give attention to the problems being faced by our British cousins because Social Democracy is but a way station along the road to Social Fascism. So far we in the USA have been spared such attention .. but we know that the FDA, AMA and Big Pharma would love to see a similar crackdown on our freedom to decide and even on the sale and use of " unproved " natural products. Therefore, I believe that it is in the best interests of all of us .. and the interests of our children .. to get involved in what is going down in the UK. I am a member of 37 News Groups now .. I monitor 28 of them .. never made a post on those 28. But I request your permission to send a modified copy of the information you have provided to all of those groups .. and permission for any other list member to send it to groups they are members of. Thanks much podner .. y'all have a good one .. and keep smiling. :-) Butch .. http://www.AV-AT.com <http://www.av-at.com/> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
