America the divided, can it be healed?
November 21, 2024
Candidates on Display,
but what are their Stances on Health and Freedom?
It is political campaign time, full throttle, and it is time to ask whether health freedom issues are being addressed by candidates. After all, political campaigns are a chance to raise the most important issues and, if necessary, correct the course that our government is on. What are candidates saying?
Freedom to access food and water free from toxins.
Access to natural, organic food and clean water might seem to be an obvious plank to have in any candidate’s platform, but what do the candidates actually say about such freedom issues. Isn’t it time for federal and state governments to support the development of smaller organic farms rather than the factory farms of agribusiness with their input of toxic
insecticides and pesticides into the food chain and their growing of vast amounts of GMO corn and soy? Is such toxic agriculture really the best America can do for feeding its people? What do the candidates say?
And could these candidates please express an opinion about the addition of hazardous industrial fluoride wastes to the water supply (“water fluoridation”). After all, fluoride in the drinking water is being forced on 73% of the American population. At what percentage do you think it might become a basic freedom issue? Let’s ask the candidates. Why has it been necessary for a few non-profit organizations to sue the EPA in a seven-year legal battle in order to get the courts to order a halt to this pernicious governmental fluoridation mandate.
Freedom of access to the health care providers of choice.
NHFA supports a person’s freedom to access the health care practitioners and modalities of choice. This might mean such alternative and complementary holistic health practitioners as homeopaths, ayurvedic healers, herbalists, traditional naturopaths. The ability to access supplements and other products is another important aspect of the freedom to access. Would the candidate support allowing medical doctors to prescribe what they believe is the correct course of action for an individual, instead of the standard protocol?
Is there an end to the expansion of the microwave radiation that we are all getting?
The wireless industry is intent on putting more and more wireless gadgets (cell phones, cordless phones, smart meters, cell towers and antennas and, now 5G poles) into more and more places including residential areas. Many see this as another toxin and a serious detriment to health. These microwave radiation exposures are almost
impossible to avoid and hence act like another mandate, another imposition, on top of all the others. Candidates, when asked, might say they are unaware of this issue. So, election time is a great time for educating them. When asked about the aerosol spraying of the skies, turning blue sky days into murky, dirty skies in the secretive practice called geoengineering, incumbent powerful office holders have been known to play dumb on the issue.
Pandemic policies, past and present.
With the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic in the year 2020, personal health freedom and personal bodily autonomy were challenged by governmental mandates. The efforts to mandate COVID-19 counter-measures featured unprecedented intrusions upon personal freedoms and bodily autonomy. Lockdowns and business closures were imposed not just on those who were ill but also on those who were perfectly well and able and willing to work. Most schools were closed, church attendance and other public gatherings were forbidden, and many businesses, especially small ones, were shut down and all too many of them failed and went out of business, while large businesses and liquor stores thrived. There were mask mandates, social distancing mandates and, when the time came, heavy promotion and even mandating of COVID-19 shots.
Does anyone remember any of this, and what do the candidates say now? Is there any glimmer of a recognition that health freedom principles were violated? Were serious mistakes in public policy made? Maybe election time is the time to ask.
Did state or federal governments over-step when mandates were ordered? Were individual rights trampled upon by agencies and institutions when governmental agencies required all employees to receive COVID-19 shots and when colleges and universities required these injections as a condition for enrollment? We all need to remember and uphold our country’s founding principles of freedom and that all people have a fundamental right of bodily autonomy including the right to refuse medical injections, treatments, and testing! If not, what’s next, aerosol vaccination from the skies?
Why it matters who gets elected, who wins.
If you think about it, it matters a lot who wins, especially if you hold out hopes for protecting health freedom and restoring integrity to powerful federal agencies and to state agencies like the state department of health. In terms of federal power, it is the President of the United States, no one else, who appoints heads of the FCC, FDA, CDC, NIH and the EPA, powerful agencies that should be serving the public interest and, we would hope, honoring the constitution and respecting our basic freedoms. So, if we want a sea change in federal policies, we will want a president who not only provides the right policies and leadership, but also make appointments that reflect integrity and an appreciation of our health and freedom principles.
Governors play a similarly important role at the state level. They provide policy leadership, and they make important appointments to state agencies and leadership positions. Is your governor running on a record of how he or she handled state lockdowns, state mandates and how the state department of health handled these issues? Is anybody asking? The mainstream media seldom focuses on the important principles of health freedom that we raise, but we suggest that citizens use every form of ingenuity to bring those issues to life in the public discourse.
Answers to these citizen questions will allow understanding of who will stand with us to support each of our journeys in and to health as well as who might stand to protect our health during a public health emergency.
