The ASP Health Policy is motivated by some very simple beliefs. These are:

Thomas Jefferson

If people let government decide what foods they eat and what medicines they take, their bodies will soon be in as sorry a state as are the souls of those who live under tyranny.

Natural News Radio

Health Links

W. H. Auden

Health is the state about which medicine has nothing to say.

Listed below are some web sites that focus on natural health.

Henri Frederic Amiel

In health there is freedom. Health is the first of all liberties.

Vaccines

The ASP believes that the public should be fully informed about the very real dangers of vaccines. For example, most vaccines contain a preservative / adjuvant called Thimerosal - which is a deceptive name for ethyl-mercury. According to the world's leading brain surgeon / neuroscientist Dr. Russell Blaylock, ethyl-mercury is actually 50 times more toxic to the brain than mercury on its own, and is connected to the rise in childhood autism, allergies, auto-immune diseases and even early childhood cancers.

Dr. Viera Scheibner

There is no evidence whatsoever of the ability of vaccines to prevent any diseases. To the contrary, there is a great wealth of evidence that they cause serious side effects.

Fluoride

Dean Burk, Ph.D- Congressional Record 21 July 1976

In point of fact, fluoride causes more human cancer death, and causes it faster than any other chemical.

We believe that the fluoridation of all our water supplies should cease immediately. Any individual who wishes to continue “medicating” themselves with Sodium Fluoride (which is prepared from hydrofluoric acid or hexafluorosilic acid as a by-product in the production of superphosphate fertilizer, and as described in the Wikipedia as toxic by both inhalation and ingestion) – should be free to do so. However, their right to self-medication of this toxin is no reason to have it forced onto non-consenting individuals - as is the current situation. This is “mass medication” and is criminal.

Eve's Best	Good site with lots of links.
Professor Paul Connett	An in-depth interview looking at fluoride, and compelling evidence that it can lower children's IQ.
Fluoride & IQ	Fluoride means lower IQs and more mental retardation.
Fluoride - videos	Watch the "Fluoride Deception" or get the book. This is a must watch.

Dr. John Yiamouyiann

We would not purposely add arsenic to the water supply. And we would not purposely add lead. But we do add fluoride. The fact is that fluoride is more toxic than lead and just slightly less toxic than arsenic.

GM Foods

The introduction of Genetically Modified foods into our environment has left a trail of devastation in its wake. Not only is there mounting empirical evidence that GM foods stunt growth and cause infertility and cancers - but the economic effects have destroyed farming communities around the world. The ASP cannot find words to express its outrage at this assault on human life and environmental wellbeing. We strongly suggest you look at the links below and educate yourself about an issue that could one day devastate your health. Read about the Russian study where rats died from GMO. A picture from this study is given adjacent - with the normal healthy rat on the left, and the small "GM soy" rat on the right, which clearly shows stunted growth. Would you tolerate such an assault on any of your children?

Andrew Kimbrell, Lawyer and executive director of the Center for Food Safety (USA)

As far as genetic engineering for food, that is the great experiment that has failed. ...... They are basically chemical companies selling more chemicals. They’ve given absolutely nothing to the consumer while causing more chemical pollution and contamination.

Geneticist, David Suzuki, giving the 2008 Commonwealth Lecture in London

Any scientist who tells you they know that GMOs are safe and not to worry about it, is either ignorant of the history of science or is deliberately lying. Nobody knows what the long-term effect will be.

Codex Alimentarius

Brian Carter

Your lifestyle - how you live, eat, emote, and think - determines your health. To prevent disease, you may have to change how you live.

The United Nations and pharmaceutical companies have a published agenda known as Codex Alimentarius. It is the chief aim of Codex to have all vitamin and mineral supplements either banned, or restricted as prescription only drugs. One of the chief causes of illness today is vitamin and mineral deficiencies, particularly as the "fast foods" that are consumed are so depleted of nutritional content. If Codex is fully implemented, products like vitamin C, omega-3 fish oils, vitamin D & E, and other herbal products will only be available by prescription and produced and sold only by the pharmaceutical companies.

Below is an abbreviated list of the Codex "standards" that will take effect in your future. If countries do not follow these "standards", then trade sanctions can follow. Source here.

John Cage

Food, one assumes, provides nourishment: but Americans eat it fully aware that small amounts of poison have been added to improve its appearance and delay its putrefaction.

Aspartame

Aspartame is an artificial sweetener - that is sold under a variety of brand names such as NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, and Equal-Measure. There are over 92 different health side effects associated with aspartame consumption. An abbreviated list includes:

The ASP will lobby for the immediate removal of this compound from our food. It is used in hundreds of products on supermarket shelves, and is often disguised by being labeled as 951. Some of the common products that may contain aspartame are yogurt, candy, breath mints, cereals, sugar-free chewing gum, instant breakfasts, juice beverages, shake mixes, tabletop sweeteners and instant teas.

Quotes

Buddha

Every human being is the author of his own health or disease.

Ashley Montaqu

The doctor has been taught to be interested not in health but in disease. What the public is taught is that health is the cure for disease.
