Hi everyone,

Julie here. I've been mulling over Dr. Clarke, and the health expo. I think Dr. Clarke is probably one of the most severly suppressed natural healers, because she has 'legitimate' medical credentials, so she is far more of a threat to the established medical community than someone without her degrees.

I keep thinking of the witchhunts in Europe, and in the US, witches were herbalists, they healed people. The incentive for the chruch to so violently suppress them was to control medical care. The property that belonged to the accused witch got appropriated by the state, the inquisitor was paid for his time out of the money from the witches estate. (Ofter after torturing him or her to death, in order to 'save'his or her soul.) It's hard to say how many people died in the witch hunts, I've read figures of anything from a few thousand people to literally millions, with entire villages wiped out. Since history is often rewritten by the victors, it's hard to say how many really died. But the point is that access to medical care has always been a major weapon of the state in it's effort to control people.

The next example that immediately come to mind is Sigmund Freud. His original theory regarding hysteria was that it was almost always caused by incest in early childhood. In order to keep himself from being tarred and feathered and run right out of Vienna, he recanted, and came up with other more elaborate expanations.

People do give in to pressure in order to survive.

From what I've read, Dr. Clarke has barely managed to stay out of prison, she has fought legal battle after legal battle. This has to take a toll on anyone. The fact that she is still showing up and giving public lectures at all shows she's really got courage.

It's so easy to institute legal contols, if it's for the benefit of the poor victim. People support it, and then they discover they have lost the privilage of makeing choices about their own bodies, and the appropriate treatments for illnesses. Or parasites.

This has turned into a rant, sorry. I know I'm preaching to the choir.

Julie
