Back to a Simpler Time

May 23, 2008

Back in the 1970s, a couple of blokes were sitting in an English pub, bemoaning the consolidation of the brewing industry in England and the decline of British beer and ale. A commodity that represented the soul of Britain had been replaced by the insipid canned beers of a few large breweries. What was needed, they decided, was a return to tradition. They launched A Campaign for Real Ale, which soon became the force that turned back the mega-brewers and reinstated varied and delicious ales to English tables and pubs.

Only a few hundred years ago, you could seek the same kind of individual care in your medical treatment. Skilled phlebotomists had almost 2,000 years of experience, and they were simply eliminated by the modern, corporate medical system. This system has resulted in mood disorders, superbugs, two-tiered medical care and the widespread abuse of antidepressants. Drug companies are phenomenally wealthy and make up new disorders to cure every day. What went wrong?

Isn’t it time we said no to the multinational pharmaceutical corporations? Isn’t it time we returned to a time when your local barber-surgeon could simply breathe a vein in order to cure everything from acne to tuberculosis? My best friend’s cousin had a niece whose classmate had smallpox, and bloodletting cured her!

It is up to you to demand the treatment you deserve! Build a relationship with a physician who understands your four humors and trust him to accurately place freshwater and marine leeches to maximum benefit. Join the Campaign for Bloodletting at www.leeches4me.ca. And finally, speak out against the dictatorial agenda of the medical, scientific and law enforcement communities that prevent people from choosing the care that they irrationally believe should work, without examining any of the facts themselves.

Campaign for Bloodletting

I’ve just been informed that we used the wrong picture. Ah, well - same difference.
