I haven't been in touch often because the system I use for my website, which includes the mailing list system, hasn't worked very well for sending out letters. I think that's because we have more people on the list than they're used to handling. I am looking into a new solution altogether for reaching you. But more on that later.
Today, we have an URGENT ISSUE, and I encourage all U.S. Citizens to sign this petition to the FDA. The FDA is twisting some words around to turn all alternative therapies into alternative "medicines," which would make it illegal for people to practice Reiki, to use homeopathy, and so on. Only licensed doctors would be able to use alternative therapies if we get to this point, and you know they won't use them!
If you're a U.S. Citizen, please take the time to visit the link below, read the petition, and -- if you agree with it -- sign it.
This MUST BE DONE BY APRIL 30, 2007.
I have personally investigated this. This is NOT an old Internet hoax. I have read the FDA document and am getting updates from the woman running this site. She is working with some dedicated Constitutional lawyers who are DONATING their time to this and related causes.
I hope this letter reaches you and that you'll take the time to respond. Please forward this to other people, too, if you think they are interested in keeping their health choices into the future.
