I’m quitting the National Women’s Health Network

nwhnI’ve been a contributor to the National Women’s Health Network  for over 30 years.  Here is a letter that I wrote to them today.

 

Dear National Women’s Health Network,

I have been a loyal supporter and contributor to your organization since 1983.  Unfortunately, I am withdrawing my support from your organization after discovering that Dr. Fugh-Berman has testified against homeopathy and homeopathic remedies at the FDA hearing today.  

Homeopathy has been a life-saver for my entire family and for many friends — as I’m sure it has been for many of your health conscious contributors. It got me through menopause like a breeze (no need for hormones of any kind or any other supplement), has cured flus, bronchitis, arthritis, depression, asthma, food poisoning, and most amazingly — cured my son of autism.  As a result, I left a career as a researcher in computer science to write a book about homeopathy and to promote it to the general public (www.impossiblecure.com).

Even Dr. Fugh-Berman must be aware of the remarkable historic legacy of homeopathy in this country, its successes in treating epidemics of the 1800s, the fact that it has been used with success worldwide for over 200 years, and the longstanding aim of allopathic medicine to kill it and the competition it represents.  

By working to remove public access to this remarkably effective, safe, and  cost-effective medical alternative, Dr. Fugh-Berman has played right into the  never-ending quest for dominance by Big Pharma.  This is not something I expect from one of the key players of the National Women’s Health Network, which has (in general) bucked conventional medical wisdom to promote women’s health.

Please remove me from your mailing and donor list.  Please note that I will also be posting this letter to my social networks.

    Dear Amy,

    I am truly impressed with your credentials and experience and your picking yourself up when you were down. Bless your heart. Perhaps the next time I see your name at Minutus I won’t be so quick to give you back talk. (:->)

    And I applaud your decision to leave the NWHN and to tell them why.

    Sincerely,

    Roger Bird

    Thank you for speaking out. Our family has also had many huge benefits from homeopathy. It eased my transition after both of my emergency c-sections, helped me get of steroids for a gyne logical auto immune disease, helped with teething, colic, colds, bladder infections, skin rashes mainstream medicine could not help with despite trying ….the list goes on and on. Affordable, effective, no side effects and long standing history behind it.

    It is time for us to all stand up for homeopathy! Thank you, Amy.
