Reuters advise on 22 September 2011 that a study undertaken in the United States has revealed that the privacy curtains separating patients in the hospitals show signs of being contaminated with potentially dangerous bacteria! The findings from this study should be circulated widely for the information, not only of hospital staff but for the visitors that touch these curtains.

Health Issues page brings a most disturbing article from NaturalNews dated 14 September 2011 with regards to the abduction of an American Citizen who had permanent residency in Ecuador. Greg Caton is the person who formulated Cancema. Cancema is a wonderful natural alternative to treating skin cancer.

Mike Adam’s article is a remarkable story of how FBI and FDA Agents kidnapped Greg and flew him out of the country and then imprisoned him for two years. The story that unfolds is unbelievable and reads like a novel. Please take the time to read this link and see for yourself what is going on inside America and apparently even outside America!

Health Issues page brings you an article dated 30 August 2011 with regards to gas fracking in the US. This is an important article as it clearly shows that the people who are declaring that fracking is safe are the very people who are involved in the mining industry. I guess you could say that the mining industry is self regulating rather than government agencies regulating with the safety of people and the environment being their main concern.

Sadly the Australian Government is going down the same path and we are hearing more and more reports of people being sick in the areas that this fracking is taking place

I get a lot of satisfaction in being able to inform people of current events in pages like Health Issues

This is the latest information that I have on the proposed Health Care Reform Bill in the US and unfortunately it is dated August 2009 however even so I am posting this in Health Issues because Michael Connelly, retired attorney and constitutional law instructor from Texas has raised some very interesting issues.

This is the latest information that I have on the proposed Health Care Reform Bill in the US and unfortunately it is dated August 2009 however even so I am posting this in Health Issues because Michael Connelly, retired attorney and constitutional law instructor from Texas has raised some very interesting issues.

Just two of the points he raised are:

However, as scary as all of that is, it just scratches the surface. In fact, I have concluded that this legislation really has no intention of providing affordable health care choices. Instead it is a convenient cover for the most massive transfer of power to the Executive Branch of government that has ever occurred, or even been contemplated. If this law or a similar one is adopted, major portions of the Constitution of the United States will effectively have been destroyed.

He goes on to say:

“This legislation also provides for access by the appointees of the Obama administration of all of your personal healthcare information, your personal financial information, and the information of your employer, physician, and hospital. All of this is a direct violation of the specific provisions of the 4th Amendment to the Constitution protecting against unreasonable searches and seizures. You can also forget about the right to privacy. That will have been legislated into oblivion regardless of what the 3rd and 4th Amendments may provide.”

A link to Michael’s full article is below and in his article he provides additional links if you care to read further.

My suggestion to all Americans would be to bombard your politician and demand that your health rights be reinstated and that your Constitution be upheld. Click on the link to read Michael’s article.

Before the House in the US is a Bill H.R. 3200 and in the Senate (no number at this time) Affordable Health Choices Act

Affordable Health Choices Act includes:

• Funding for community based “Health Teams,” which will establish a system of early identification and referral for children at risk for developmental or behavioral problems.
• Allocation of up to $5 billion every year for School Based Health Clinics to provide such services as: mental health assessments (screening), crisis intervention, treatment, counseling and referral to emergency psychiatric care.
• A five-year program for the Center for Disease Control to provide public health “interventions,” screenings and clinical referrals for individuals between 55 and 64 years of age.
• The creation of a new “paraprofessional child and adolescent mental health worker.” The legislation states that this is “...an individual who is not a mental or behavioral health service professional, but who works at the first stage of contact with children and families who are seeking mental or behavioral health services.”

• This bill also calls for the establishment of School Based Health Clinics that will provide mental health assessments (screening), crisis intervention, treatment, counseling and referral to emergency psychiatric care.
• Specific funding for mental health counselors and marriage and family therapists.
• The bill creates a home visitation program for families with young children or which are expecting children or who have certain “risk factors.” The program, which is stated as voluntary, provides assessments regarding matters of “age appropriate behaviors,” for children, prevention of family violence and referral to outside services.
• The bill mandates a sweeping mental health parity, which could well encompass all 374 diagnoses in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM) and opens the door to coverage for everything from phase of life problem to sibling rivalry disorder. The costs would be horrendous.
• The bill provides for unlimited mental health benefits. As there is no objective or medical test for psychiatric disorders, this is a virtual blank check to the mental health industry.

This bill was considered in committee which has recommended it be considered by the House as a whole. Although it has been placed on a calendar of business, the order in which legislation is considered and voted on is determined by the majority party leadership. Keep in mind that sometimes the text of one bill is incorporated into another bill, and in those cases the original bill, as it would appear here, would seem to be abandoned. This information was last updated 22 July 2009
