The link is how they rate on the same Wacky Scale. Remember, the highway to Hell is paved with good intentions.
Wacky Scale?
Where would you rate psychiatry on the wacky scale? Talk about the road to hell.....did you know they have the highest suicide rate of any profession???
All that self medicating can come back to bite you in the tush.

JH you said...
"I personally worked within the health ins. industry, and have negotiated health plans that include "alternative therapies" that have solid peer reviewed research behind them, to be included in the plans' covered benefits.
While the companies didn't include feng shui, they did include Bach aroma, acupuncture, at least a dozen massage disciplines, and various other alternative medicines, including Japanese childbirth and rapid detox with herbal supplements"
What insurance included these healing modalities in their plan? I would like to know more about it, and sign up. Do they still offer these services? We use aetna and they have none of this stuff.

I could care less what they say about psychiatry. Their theology has me a lot more concerned. Psychiatry is here and now. Your theology has to do with how you live your daily life AND where you spend eternity.
"Psychiatry is here and now"
Yes, it is here and now, but it is time for the lies to be exposed and the free ride they have enjoyed to stop. How many churches in America that were knowingly killing people could have surviving family sue them, and then when everything was hushed up, and all the survivors paids off, that "church" was allowed to gag everything, bribe and extort in order for silence on the court case, and then go on its merry way to the next group of victims?
That is in fact the fifteen year free ride anti-depressants have had in our society. Sure, court costs, and settlements do have an effect on the bottom line, but when you are raking in 7 million a day, who cares?
The numbers of American's on anti-depressants went from one in five to one in three in the years after 9-11. I believe it is time for psychiatry and the drug industry to own up to the mistakes that were made in unleashing these drugs on an ignorant public. Whistleblowers like Candace Pert, who helped discover the drugs, Ann Blake Tracy, and Peter Breggin have been hollering for years, writing articles, books, doing interviews, testifying in court.
Yet the band plays on...
If Scientology has the understanding and passion to expose these frauds for what they are, and the membership is willing to publicly work to expose some of it to the public, then I HAVE to believe this church has some good attached to it.
All I know about the church is that they have a phonics based literacy program which is teaching people how to read, and they have this anti-psychiatry drug and "take proper care of your body" teachings. That is all I know. But I believe we can discern truth in groups by the fruits of those groups. It Scientology is teaching it's members how to read and how to be mentally well without psychiatric drugs, then, I do believe they have some good positive things attached to their religion.
Thing is...Medicine is a religion. It functions just like a religion, with all of the priestly robes, and sacraments, and temples....It is one of the most unrecognized religions we have going. And it is in fact killing people every year by the thousands. No church in America could get away with this sort of a fraud. Why are we all so dumb to think that because doctors go to school for so long they know anything at all about health?
Read Robert Mendelsohns Confessions of Medical Heretic. It is a great read, and introduced me to the idea that medicine is a church.
I just posted my first week of Blogging at http://WWW.NaturalFamilyBlog.com I would be really interested to hear what you think of my introductory post Cheney chick, if you feel like you have the time to check it out, and want to respond.
I am going to spend some time reading up on scientologies theology, I have not done that yet, and if I am going to even suggest the idea that I could defend or affiliate with that church, I should know something about it. Thanks for challenging me on that.
However, I have no plans to give up my membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. It is the best thing I have going in my life, and I consider it a great honor to be a part of this group.
I suppose in the heat of this conversation it was easy for all of us to say some things that were inflammatory and ironic.

Alia,
I don't know how that is possible. Don't you know, only crank crackpots who have no brains, are stupid, deluded, and into conspiracy theories are the ones talking about this???

I stumbled accross this board while searching for more information on which 300 nutrients (minerals or compound sources of minerals or vitamins) that ARE BEING BANNED in my country (Ireland) and all accross Europe IN TWO DAYS TIME, affecting about 5,000 products in Ireland and the U.K. alone.
And the reason the E.U. and The Codex Alimentarius Commission have for taking away yet more of the little freedom the "Nanny State" will allow these days; They are unsafe and unnecessary! vitamins & minerals unnecessary LOL. We have used them for generations, with the "Multinational Corporation Fake Food" most of us are on we have never needed supplements more. I've been taking multivitamins, calcium and cod liver oil amoung others for years, I rarely get a cold and if I do I can dose myself with 1 to 2000 mgs of vitiman c and rest assured my immune system is fighting hard. Now I won't have that choice, my health freedom has been sold to greedy pharmaceutical giants who wan't me to get that cold and get it bad, and pay through the teeth for their synthetic (maybe toxic) alternative drug. It's like banning oranges because they know those peskey oranges are good for us and keep us healthy.
If you think you're safe from The Codex Alimentarius Commission then think again. It's just a matter of time before your government sells (will be forced to sell) your health freedom too, if you didn't believe it just look at Europe and the 450 million angry citizens. Even if you've never taken dietary supplements do not miss the significance of this. We are slaves to multinational corporations, we are not free, we have let ourselves come to this point. Innovative supplements will now be suppressed unless the small alternative companies who are trying to surface these products can come up with the HUGE fees to have these "now called drugs" tested and passed. Progress is being halted, freedom is being sold, but if we all shout loud enough we might change things over here and you might stop it in your country before it's too late.
Please watch this hugely popular 28 minute streaming video "We Become Silent" for a very important message about the state we are all in and what we can do now while there's still time.
Information on the film:
International award-winning filmmaker Kevin P. Miller of Well TV announced today the release of a new d ocumentary about the threat to freedom of choice in health care. 'We Become Silent: The Last Days of Health Freedom' details the ongoing attempts by multinational pharmaceutical interests and giant food companies - in concert with the Codex Alimentarius Commission, the European Union, the WTO, the WHO and others - to limit the public's access to herbs, vitamins and other therapies.
'We Become Silent' is narrated by Dame Judi Dench, one of Britain's most distinguished actresses. Dame Judi, a supporter of the pan-European and international campaign organization, the Alliance for Natural Health, has won multiple BAFTA and Golden Globe awards, an Oscar, and a Tony for her on-stage work, in addition to dozens of other honors throughout her prestigious career which has spanned nearly half a century.
During the 1990s, Miller's film, 'Let Truth Be The Bias', narrated the legendary James Earl Jones, successfully mobilized massive public support around the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act (DSHEA), which defended U.S. consumers' rights to health alternatives. This hard-hitting film exposed the US government's role in a guns-drawn raid at the office of a noted holistic MD, and highlighted the U.S. government's complicity in suppressing the truth about the effectiveness of alternative and complementary medicine.
"I am releasing a 30 minute version of 'We Become Silent' because it is vital to engage the public worldwide about the dangers of the EU Food Supplements Directive and Codex Alimentarius," said Miller. "If we don't defend our health freedoms, they will be lost - and nothing would make the drug companies happier than to have free rein over our health."
'We Become Silent' features the only known video from inside a Codex meeting, exclusive interviews with delegates to the Codex Alimentarius Commission, U.S. Food and Drug Administration officials, two U.S. Congressmen, actor Mel Gibson, and more. European consumer activist Dr. Robert Verkerk of Alliance for Natural Health - an organization that brought a landmark legal challenge to the EU Food Supplements Directive, plays a major role in the documentary. Also featured are Dr. Julian Whitaker of the Whitaker Health Freedom Foundation, Dr. Carolyn Dean of Friends of Freedom International, Scott Tips of the National Health Federation, John Hammell of International Advocates for Health Freedom, and many of the best-known health freedom advocates from around the world. 'We Become Silent' is a powerful statement about the dominance of multinational corporations over personal freedoms, the WTO, Codex, and the challenges consumers face in trying to repel this monolith from their daily lives.
'We Become Silent' will air in the USA on WorldLink Television (25 million US homes) and Mr. Miller is aggressively courting UK, Canadian and European TV networks as well. It will be available for sale and distribution to health food stores, doctors, and consumers worldwide through the Internet at www.WellTV.com - in addition to other health freedom websites.
