I became interested in the definition and etymology of the word hospital and searched it out online. What I found was the same old familiar ties to sickness, etc.

As I commonly state, most of the time true origins and meanings or intentions of things are right under the surface presented directly to your face. Jestingly, hidden in plain sight. You just have to dig a little and you will find the truth that will set you free from these institutions, which do not give you “suckers” for your compliance in an incidental manner, by the way. In fact, not only is there the insinuation that you are a literal sucker, or fool, but, if you continue to dig, you will find that sucker was not free either. You (or your insurance more than likely) probably paid three or 400 per cent markup on that sucker and the costs are buried skilfully in the paperwork.

And, most urgent and of the utmost importance is the fact that the public needs to be made aware that there are certain entities right here in Jamaica, actively attempting to secretly, covertly and maliciously take away your options and choices for safe, effective, natural wellness care in any form of non-medical therapies and procedures. They have been attempting to contain and control all things non-medicine (medical competition) through medicine for at least the last 16 years, “agitating the Jamaican Government”, without success thus far, fortunately. Now, they are actively at it once again in an effort to destroy your right to receive natural care unimpeded — forcing you to accept only medicine (or be told what to do by it) from now on — and deciding if and when you may seek out “alternatives” (code for competitors) to medicine. They are doing this under the guise of “public safety” (what they think is best for the business) and “protecting” (containing and controlling) the people. As you have seen from last week’s excerpt, it is time to reconsider what the true threats to the public are and where efforts should actually be directed regarding regulation. We urge the public to speak out. We urge you to fight for your God-given right to what they demean as “alternative care”.

Keep abreast of the goings-on of “regulation” by medicine in the United States and you will quickly become aware that an inch given only creates the desire for miles more to take. The “civilised” nation of America has begun to turn corruption and power over to a military-type State. These hungry organisations have already gone so far as to fine and imprison parents of minors who simply wished to choose which methods of health care to impose upon their minor children — part of their own responsibility as an adult parent.

Recently, some of those who chose natural methods over medical ones have been harassed, have been threatened, have had their careers and reputations ruined, have been jailed or threatened with such, and, have even had their children taken away from them temporarily. Some have gone so far as to force vaccination and even horrific chemotherapy on minor children, against the wishes of the children and the authorisation or permission of their parents. Some of those cases were not even sick with cancer or any other disease. There have been armed raids on homes where people choose to homeschool their children, to grow their own food and to use vitamins and supplements in place of “medical” drugs. They have gone too far, and eventually the people as a whole will wake up and fight back.

Jamaicans have the opportunity of foresight from my work. Jamaicans can stop this beast before it ever materialises. Absolute power corrupts, absolutely, and the only thing that needs to be regulated is those who regulate. Who will guard the guards?

We also urge all CAM practitioners to join our forces, as they are coming after you first. That’s right, all of you herbalists, nutritionists, acupuncturists, massage therapists, and so on. They wish to label you as obeah worker and voodoo witch doctors that thrive on injuring and endangering those who seek you out for help. They are attempting to acquire legislation to enslave you under the ruse of “licensing” and “regulation”, which on the surface sounds good, but in reality are very bad for natural care practitioners, such as chiropractors who have absolutely nothing to do with medicine whatsoever. We are not “complementary” to medicine. We are not “alternative medicine”. We are an independent and distinct form of safe, effective, natural health and wellness care that specifically addresses issues of the spine and nervous system in its relation to symptoms and disease. We do not prescribe drugs. We do not inject substances into human bodies and systems; nor, do we cut them open in an attempt to add to or take away from the created body. We do not treat symptoms nor cure any disease. We treat the body, whose innate life force is the true healer of all disease, thereby negating the necessity of symptoms in many instances. We address the core cause of your sickness, illness and symptoms, rather than allowing ourselves (or you) to be distracted by the symptoms and treating or managing them as a business for profit, while the condition silently worsens. We do just as Thomas Edison predicted, in that we educate the public on the human frame, nutrition and exercise. We will never agree to or submit to political tyranny. We hereby publicly announce such. If licensing and regulation were such an effective way to ensure public safety, then why on earth is the licensed and regulated profession of medicine the number one killer of human life, globally? Why has it killed more Americans in the last 10 years than all of American wars ever, combined? I will tell you why, because it is big business and it is bureaucratic politics where human beings are seen as a statistical business commodity, just like with everything else in this modern world. Your death (or the death of your child or loved one) and resulting lawsuits or fines is simply the price of doing business in the eye of Big Pharma — collateral damage in the real drug war. Do not be deceived. The public does not have to succumb to these antics. You do not have to believe that your life will end if you do not continue to ingest a certain drug for the rest of your life. In fact, more accurately, you will surely die if you continue to ingest drugs for the rest of your life — even if it does not happen today. Newsflash, everyone will die — but you can control the quality of your quantity of life, drug-free. You all just have a better chance at longer, healthier lives if you make the decision to not poison your body. Knowledge is power, and now you are in the know. You can help us stop this kind of modern-day enslavement, and to make sure it never rears its head again in Jamaica.

When you allow any entity to have a monopoly on any service or product, you are at their mercy when it comes to the quality, safety and delivery methods of that service or product. Do not allow medicine to become like utility companies with unexpected lapses in quality and service — taking their own sweet time in restoring your quality of life because there is, in effect, no competition to motivate them to provide you with the very best and most efficient service possible. I have not been able to get this particular urgent message to my editor for seven days because my Internet service has been out for that long at this point. I guarantee you that if there were two or three major cable service providers or electricity companies in Jamaica, that no Jamaican would have to go any significant amount of time without those services. Instead we are forced to go without, or to purchase generators or solar panels.

Your only true commodity is your health. It is time you claimed it back for yourselves and refuse to let anyone or anything regulate it for you as father knows best, like they do with your utilities.
