Governor Signs New California Health Freedom Bill
- State Now "Wide Open"

Opinion by Consumer Advocate Tim Bolen

September 24, 2002


Today, September 24, 2002, is a very important date in Health Freedom History. For today, California Governor Gray Davis signed into law the most important Health Freedom bill in world history - California SB 577. The paragraph below contains PART of the language in the bill. For Californians, section (c), below makes health care "wide open." Naturopaths, Homeopaths, Nutritionists, etc., are now free to offer services, without harassment. To read the whole bill go to http://www.californiahealthfreedom.org/documents/our_bill.asp


(c) The Legislature intends, by enactment of this act, to allow access by California residents to complementary and alternative health care practitioners who are not providing services that require medical training and credentials. The Legislature further finds that these nonmedical complementary and alternative services do not pose a known risk to the health and safety of California residents, and that restricting access to those services due to technical violations of the Medical Practice Act is not warranted.

California, the fifth largest stand alone economy in the world, has for some time led the nation in percentage (estimated at 75%) of health care dollars spent on "Alternative Medicine." Now, that percentage is expected to increase.

It's OVER for standard Allopathic care in North America.

This "Millions of Health Freedom Fighters - Newsletter" is about the battle between "Health and Medicine" on Planet Earth. Tim Bolen is an op/ed writer with extensive knowledge of the activities of a subversive organization calling itself the "quackbusters," and that organization's attempts to suppress, and discredit, any, and all health modalities that compete with the allopathic (MD) paradigm for consumer health dollars. The focus of the newsletter is on the ongoing activities, battles, politics, and the victories won by members of the "Health Freedom Movement" against the "quackbusters" It details "who the quackbusters are, what they are, where they are operating, when they appear, and how they operate - and how easy it is to beat them..."
