A big thank you to What Doctors Don't Tell You for this vital piece of information!

WELCOME to the first edition of the What Doctors Don't Tell You e-news broadcast. The service will be occasional during the summer months, but we intend to make it weekly once the holiday period has ended.

JUST ANOTHER BILL?

Our first report is a call to arms! An innocuous-sounding Mental Health Draft Bill is being prepared for the UK parliament for review after September. It is intended to revise the Mental Health Act, 1983.

If you're of good mental health, you might switch off straight away. Perhaps you see it as another piece of legislation that is probably necessary to deal with a sector of our community with which you have little experience.

Unfortunately it is far more insidious, and if you are in any way 'eccentric' - for instance, you might have decided not to give your children the MMR - then listen up.

MPs, doctors, and those in psychiatric medicine are currently looking at the proposals that will formulate the bill. As they stand, the proposals give a doctor an absolute right to enter your home, and to drug and pacify you against your will.

Now, what will determine the doctor's decision to enter your home? Fundamentally, it will be whether he feels you have a 'mental disorder', which, in the new draft proposals, is defined as "any disability, or disorder of mind or brain which results in an impairment or disturbance of mental functioning."

It's a wonderfully loose definition. Are you showing some impairment or disturbance of mental functioning if you decide not to vaccinate your children? We're sure you can think of your own examples of something you stand for that goes against convention.

Clearly, these proposals are a violation of basic human rights, and give the doctor the power of judge and jury, and you will have no recourse to plead your innocence.

So what can you do? There's a very short window of opportunity to make your voice heard. E-mail, or better still, write to your local MP (log onto: http://www.locata.co.uk/commons for his details), and let him know what you think about these proposals. You can also e-mail directly to the secretary of state for health, Alan Milburn, MP, by logging onto: http://www.health.gov.uk.

Whoever you decide to lobby, please be courteous and constructive, and point out the infringement to personal liberties the draft proposals represent.

WE HAVE UNTIL 16 SEPTEMBER TO MAKE OUR VOICES HEARD.

IF THIS CONCERNS YOU, PLEASE FORWARD THIS EMAIL TO A FRIEND. WE NEED TO ADD AS MANY VOICES AS POSSIBLE.

PHILLIP DAY'S COMMENT: This is yet another bill that is supporting the world's pharma cartel. To understand their power, and the way they infiltrate and influence every sector of society, I recommend you read Secrets of the Drugs Industry.

Have you noticed that barely a day goes by that we don't have some new battle to fight to protect freedoms and rights we hitherto took for granted? Twenty years ago, the average citizen never really saw themselves as an 'activist'. Walking around with a banner, or forming a 'pressure group', was alien to them and was what 'those other people' did. Just before Samantha and I left to fly to Australia for our tour last week, we had to commence yet another war at home - form another pressure group - to block the building of a new mobile telephone mast tower within 40 meters of my pillow in the UK. This is the second of such wars, the first having been successfully waged by us against the previous mobile telephone company who backed off when we found an alternative site for their equipment.

What we have to be careful of here is girding ourselves with the illusion that we can leave it to others to protect our freedoms. There is only one way, and that is to mount a sustained and concerted attack in large numbers against these efforts to despoil our rights and freedoms. IF WE DO NOT DO THAT, legislation will be passed, directives put onto the statute books and enforcement agencies notified. And that, as they say, will be that.

Citizens are now waking up to the fact that this is a different era we live in today. The present governing élite, which appears to have a passion to change our society according to their own minority dictates, are banking on you not getting organised enough to matter. Laws and measures are being rammed through with or without the public's consent. We must show them consistently how very wrong they have read the public's mood and tolerance.
