  1. ACT I - The Charges

    Escorted by armed police officers, the Quebec College of Physicians and
    Surgeons raided a naturopathic clinic.

    "Dr. Josee Rancourt, you are charged with using natural treatments with your
    patients and you are to immediately withdraw the foreword you wrote for the
    alternative cancer therapy book, The Bruess Juice Fast."

    "Dr. Jerry Green, we charge you for placing far too much emphasis on
    nutritional counseling."

    "Dr. Jozef Krop, you are charged with using the following modalities in your
    practice:

    orthomolecular therapy (the use of vitamin and mineral supplements)
    nutritional counseling and dietary modification
    environmental control counseling (prescription for clean air, clean water
    and clean food)
    diagnosis and treatment of candidiasis (yeast infections)
    diagnosis and treatment of food, inhalant and chemical sensitivities
    use of intradermal and sublingual immunotherapies
    detoxification therapy . . ."
    Note: In Dr. Krop's case, these therapies are identical to those offered by
    a government financed clinic situated on the east coast in the same country.

    The Year: 1997
    The Country: Canada
    On Trial: Your Freedom of Choice
    The Persecutors: Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons (COPS)
    The Intent: To revoke medical licenses and/or prevent physicians from
    offering complementary therapies
    The Defense Team: You, me, and other citizens concerned about our freedom of
    choice

    ACT II - The Cross-Examination

    Question: Were there any patient complaints?

    Answer: None. There was only praise from the thousands of patients who were
    unable to obtain relief through standard medical practices.

    Question: What are the COPS afraid of? That people will actually recover
    from chronic illnesses after orthodox treatments have failed?

    Answer: Good question. Fear often translates into persecution.

    Question: When were the charges in the Jozef Krop case laid?

    Answer: Amazingly, eight years ago, in 1989. In any court in this land,
    criminal or civil, these charges would have been dropped. Due process, the
    right to a fair and expeditious (speedy) trial, has been denied this
    defendant. Knowing their case is flimsy, the CPSO has resorted to trial by
    ordeal and harassment. They intend to wear the defendant down physically,
    spiritually, and economically.

    DR. JOSEF KROP

    Dr. Krop was a founding member of the Canadian Society of Environmental
    Medicine and is an internationally recognized leader in that field. His
    techniques of combining traditional medical and environmental therapies are
    widely copied in the U.S., the U.K., Europe, Australia and China.

    "You will never find a more dedicated, caring, concerned, thoughtful
    physician in this world," says widely acclaimed American doctor Doris Rapp.
    "He is the type of doctor that should be emulated, not chastised."

    More witch hunts by EOM. They have control problems. Their power will one day
    crumble and all who engaged in this evil will be judged.

    May I propose a challange to you and seek your help?

    Sometime circa 1911 to 1919 the Royal Medical Society of ...Toronto or
    Quebec...and I forget which one, did an eight year study to prove whether
    bacteria really could cause disease or not. After the study, the doctors
    concluded that bacteria may be involved in disease like bystanders, but in no
    way do bacteria cause disease. As I recall, they used all manner of bacteria,
    either alone or in combination with other bacteria.
    Could it be possible for you to research this epic study and tell us where the
    data and information has been hidden?

    Probably under the data & information compiled in the intervening 85+ years......

  5. I believe that Quebec has failed to control quacks, including
    naturopaths who have no license. A recent case in point about quacks
    who injure patients may be just what spamming Dave needs to read:

    Que. naturopath sued over neck manoeuvre

    Young woman claims treatment caused a cerebral hemorrhage that left
    her paralysed

    By Mark Cardwell

    MONTREAL – The neck manipulations performed on a young woman sick with
    the flu caused a cerebral hemorrhage that left her a quadriplegic,
    it's claimed in a $2.2-million lawsuit.

    According to a proof of claim filed in Quebec Superiour Court here in
    early April, Emilie Pigeon, 21, was an active fashion designer with a
    promising future when she consulted naturopath/osteopath Jean Vandal
    on April 3, 2001.

    The lawsuit claims that during the visit, Vandal performed a
    chiropractic-like neck manoeuvre on Pigeon.

    The court filing goes on to say that two days later, on the morning of
    April 5, Pigeon was found in her bed unconscious, incontinent,
    suffering from convulsions and foaming at the mouth.

    Pigeon was rushed to the emergency room at Cité de la Santé de Laval
    hospital, where doctors initially suspected she was suffering from
    meningitis. A subsequent brain scan, however, revealed blood clotting
    in the brain. Â

    Later that day, radiologist Dr. Normand Charlebois detected a cervical
    dissection of the vertebral artery, the lawsuit further claims.

    Pigeon was then transferred to Hôpital Notre-Dame, where an
    intra-arterial thrombolysis was performed the following day.

    Though she later regained consciousness, Pigeon had no horizontal eye
    movement, was quadriplegic spastic and felt pain in all four members,
    it's claimed.Â

    She spent the next 30 days in intensive care and underwent more
    interventions, including a tracheotomy that resulted from a case of
    pneumonia she developed, according to the claim.

    The claim goes on to say Pigeon was later transferred to the Montreal
    Rehabilitation Institute. Her condition improved little in 169 days of
    therapy there. She did regain some feeling on her left side, which
    enables her to drive an electric wheelchair.Â

    Unable to speak properly, she is also now forced to communicate via a
    computer.

    "We want to make sure this kind of thing never happens to anyone
    else," said Jean-Pierre Menard, the lawyer representing Pigeon and
    three family members who are suing Vandal for $2.2 million. Almost the
    entire amount, $2.1 million, is claimed as compensation for Pigeon's
    injury, suffering and destroyed life.

    Menard said Vandal describes himself as an osteopath, a naturopath, a
    psychotherapist, a massotherapist, a homeopath and a
    hypnotherapist—yet is not registered with any professional orders in
    Quebec.

    Menard said he was unsure if Vandal has liability insurance.

    The case comes on the heels of a public furor that swept across Quebec
    in March, when an unlicensed acupuncturist admitted she used
    unsterilized needles on hundreds of patients over the past several
    years.

    In a separate case in Toronto, the family of a woman who died after a
    neck adjustment is suing for $12.5 million.

    So.... You position is that this kind of thing only happens with
    "unlicensed" practitioners? How many such cases do you think happen with
    licensees? The problem looks like a VERY small number are hurt by the
    unlicensed, while it happens everyday in the "licensed" places, and you say
    nothing.

    This charlatan claimed to have skills he didn't have. Licensed or
    not, it's a clear cut case of fraud. I would say the same thing if an
    MD claimed to be a surgical specialist & wasn't.

    It's doubtful he has any insurance to pay for the damages inflicted.
    What is the patient's recourse? The majority of licensed
    practitioners carry insurance -- at least the patient's medical bills
    would get paid.

    In addition, licensed practitioners must have training as mandated by
    the licensing body in order to get their license. An unlicensed
    practitioner must have ...... what?

    The point is that there are far fewer opertunitys to say such things about

    He thinks highly of himself? But when an MD can watch some vidios of

    F--k the medical bills! Pay the injured party first, a lot, and then if

    And that "training" is as good as nothing in many areas. Why do you not

    No, I am NOT wrong, and neither is Hawki. She says:

    "perhaps because alties are NOT governed by any agency that REPORTS such
    issues
    of operating well beyond their knowledge base (unless of course they are
    arrested)...on the other hand..BECAUSE legitimate practitioners ARE
    licensed...instances of bad practice are likely to become public
    knowledge.."

    If you care to refute that, be my guest, but you'll need to make a stronger
    case than, "You are wrong." She says:

    "again...where/who does one sue if maimed/killed....etc by the likes of
    Hulda
    Clark who protects herself by being 5 miles outside of the USA???? nada"

    and

    "who 'trains and follows up' on the Hulda's of the world??? nada"

    If you care to refute those statements, be my guest, but you'll need to make
    a stronger case than, "You are wrong." It's a good thing you are not a trial
    lawyer. If you stand up for your final argument and say, "You are wrong,"
    then sit down, you won't make many points with the jury.

    Come on, Tools, you can do better than that.
