So glad you got a chance to give this talk. Ever since I was red-pilled in early 2020 I've kept talking about THE PLANTS, that have been used for millennia. It drove me nuts that people were so disconnected from nature and disempowered that they were afraid to use the weeds in their own back yard. All the clamoring about Ivermectin and Hydroxychoroquine - could they have saved lives if they were available? Yes, but hell, they're PHARMACEUTICALS! Anti-parasitical/anti-malarial, let's see, Sweet Annie anyone? Used in Traditional Chinese Medicine for thousands of years (Qing Hao, https://www.medicinetraditions.com/artemisia-annua-qing-hao.html). I wrote to all the "front-line doctors" about it and Andrographis, never got a response. Recently there was a mention of "maybe artemisinin" in one of the substacks I follow. An isolate. There's even an old WHO monograph acknowledging that the whole plant is more effective than the isolate.
I was invited to speak to a group of Health Freedom NH folks and talked to them about White Pine tea. Some still come into the store where I work and tell me how it has helped them and their families. Now, thanks to a dedicated effort by freedom-loving legislators, you can get Ivermectin in New Hampshire. (See below.) No thanks, but be my guest.
HB1466 2022, Off-label Use of Prescription Drugs; When Permitted. The state of New Hampshire confirms its strong support for shared decision making between healthcare professionals and their patients. A licensee may lawfully prescribe an FDA approved drug product for an off-label indication where there is sound scientific medical evidence or when the licensee has provided and documented informed consent for the patient including a disclosure that a prescription is for an off-label indication. The standardized form for informed consent shall be approved by the board of medicine. A licensee shall be held to the same standard of care as when prescribing for on-label indications.
4 New Section; Pharmacists and Pharmacies; Prescriptions. Amend RSA 318 by inserting after section 13 the following new section:
318:13-a Filling of Prescriptions. No licensed pharmacist shall face non-disciplinary or disciplinary action by the pharmacy board for filling a valid prescription for an off-label use.
It is interesting many in the health freedom movement choose pharmaceuticals and many who do use herbs, opt to buy them online and not source locally. (I have gained a few customers though) I have tried....believe me, to open my shop up and express my concern over the almost laser focus to acquire black market drugs. (not that I am opposed to that necessarily....I get it) and have conveyed the approach I take with this virus or any other. Interesting I was invited to go to Maine to talk, when we could be doing more of these things locally. Early on I tried to start a health freedom summit of sorts, but was met with one wall after another, say nothing of the venue issues due to covid. Perhaps I will reach out to the CHD folks. My idea is to do a gathering around Resiliency here in the state and make it easier for people to network around food, energy, health/medicine, etc. Originally I had asked Sonia of HolisticNH to help with the health summit, but she then decided to do the Expo in October which I can't attend due to my schedule and not having advance notice. I'll get there eventually and hope to make it an annual event.
