MY ALT MEDICINE BILL 2 BECOMES LAW

Dr. Green’s New Law   Begins to Free Alternative Medicine And  Precipitates Demise of College of Physicians

Toronto, Canada---Alternative medical practitioner, Dr. Jerry Green, M.D.’s  new law has released alternative medicine and laid the groundwork for the elimination of the College of Physicians.  Dr. Green worked on the law for the last 5 years.  He is the instigator, author and promoter of Bill 2 which was enacted as the new law…The Medicine Amendment Act, 2000…an added section to the Medicine Act 1991 in the Province of Ontario, Canada.

The Ontario legislature, on December 14,  unanimously gave third and final reading to Bill 2.  The law was proclaimed with royal assent and came into force on December 21.

Green’s bill received little media coverage since it was enacted during the holiday season following Premier Harris’ desire to expedite it.

“This is an example of citizen democracy.  As citizens, we told our elected representatives, bureaucrats and doctors what we wanted.  We reminded them their mandated role is to carry out the wishes of the majority,” said Dr. Green.  Dr. Green practices alternative medicine in Toronto and on the Internet:  http://www.drjerrygreen.com  He specializes in arthritis, heart disease, cancer and allergies.

There was so much support that no politician could vote against it and remain a credible representative of the people.

Green says, “I would like to personally thank all 103 MPP’s who enthusiastically supported the passage of this bill.”

The Medicine Amendment Act, 2000 amends the Medicine Act 1991 by adding the following section:

Non-traditional practice

5.1  “ A member shall not be found guilty of professional misconduct or of incompetence under section 51 or 52 of the Health Professions Procedural Code solely on the basis that the member practises a therapy that is non-traditional or that departs from the prevailing medical practice unless there is evidence that proves that the therapy poses a greater risk to a patient’s health than the traditional or prevailing practice.”  

“As part of my 30 year case work on the College of Physicians, I started this bill as a public citizen 5 years ago.  I convinced my elected representative by having him as a guest on my radio show to work with me to design and introduce this private members bill.  The bill had to be introduced on three separate occasions.  I encouraged citizens to contact their local members of provincial parliament to pass the bill.  We revealed so many legitimate complaints against the College, to MPP’s that it would have been political suicide for any representative to ignore them,” declares Dr. Green.

Dr. Green’s new law is a beginning step towards ensuring the ability of M.D's to practise alternative medicine.  Alberta is the only Canadian province so far that has passed a similar bill. 

It is revealing that the first law and first priority in alternative medicine bills is to curtail the power of bodies like the Colleges of Physicians.   One of the insidious hazards of allowing the Colleges to continue to exist is the false sense of security patients get from ordinary allopathic medicine.  Patients mistakenly believe that ordinary drugs and surgery are keeping them healthy and preventing future problems.  The fact is that, in most cases, symptoms are covered up while basic disease processes go on.  Sometimes, doctors develop an attitude of “come back later when your problems are really bad…so that we can justify taking the risk of heavy intensive therapy.”  Some doctors encourage the Colleges’ attacks on alternative M.D.’s.  This allows them to practice “take-it-or-leave-it” medicine…”you either have to agree to my methods or take nothing, since we have curtailed all those other medical doctors.” 

The bill, even before it became law, embarrassed and exposed the Colleges of Physicians in each province for what they have done to hard working alternative medical doctors and especially to patients everywhere in terms of restricting freedom of choice.

For years, citizens and doctor members have accurately labeled the College a sinister body that claims to protect the public while actually protecting the status quo.  As a result of its unwillingness to make any significant changes to its hard-to-believe policies, the College has become a rallying point for citizens concerned about the freedom to choose alternative medicine.

The College, while giving the illusion of protecting the public, actually protects and turns a blind eye to ordinary doctors who mistreat their patients.  Read: Blind Eye, How the Medical Establishment Let A Doctor Get Away With Murder by James B. Stewart, Published by Simon and Schuster (1999).

WHAT THE NEW LAW DOES MEAN

• The College and the medical establishment is now on notice that citizens will not tolerate actions to restrict freedom of choice in health care. 

• The passing of this new law puts the College on the road to elimination and replacement by a citizens’ body.

WHAT THE NEW LAW DOES NOT DO

• Alternative medicine doctors still cannot freely practice since the College can say there are a number of reasons for attacking an alternative medical practitioner…not “solely” for practicing alternatively.  The word “solely” was added to the original version of the bill in order to gain the support of the College and some members of parliament.

• Since the new law is not retroactive, it will not directly help doctors who have already suffered from the College’s unjust actions.  There are efforts underway to make amends to these doctors by other mechanisms.

• The new law does not directly help practitioners such as naturopaths, osteopaths, etc.

FURTHER CITIZEN ACTION WORK

• Prosecution of College members and staff responsible for disregarding the will of the people and making the passing of this legislation necessary. In particular: Drs. John Carlisle, Geoffrey Bond, John Bonn, Rocco Gerace, Chandar Rao, David Walker, Sandy Shulman, Joseph Homer, Oscar Kofman and others.

• Legislation to prevent the College from attacking  or restricting non-MD practitioners such as naturopaths, homeopaths, osteopaths, grandmothers etc.

• Legislation to get OHIP to start to cover alternative medicine.  Politicians mistakenly fear this will raise health care costs.  Citizens should educate them that it will actually lower costs by encouraging less usage of drugs, hospitals, and doctors and greater utilization of vitamins, herbs, community health centers, alternative doctors, self-care and prevention.

• Elimination of the College of Physicians.  Replacing it with a citizens’ body.

• Amends to the five doctors who suffered from the absence of this long overdo law.

• Citizens from across Canada, the United States and other countries should contact their politicians to urge them to pass similar legislation.  A complete list of Ontario members of provincial parliament with fax numbers and email addresses can be found on Dr. Green’s website www.drjerrygreen.com.

• Urge the Ministry of Health and Long-Term Care to release KPMG’s now completed damaging report on its investigation into the complaints and discipline process of the College so that further action can be taken.

• Attend the next meeting of the College’s governing Council February 22 and 23 to witness the last days of the College.

DEMOCRACY IN ACTION

Green states, “My bill addresses the crucial issue of relative risk.  In the past, the medical establishment has gleefully pointed out the occasional person who has suffered harm from an alternative medical method.  The bill emphasizes this must be compared to the risk of using an ordinary method which is usually many times hazardous.

“While my bill only deals with M.D.’s, a recent bill in Minnesota allows non-M.D. practitioners to help their patients.  Governor Jesse Ventura has signed the Complementary and Alternative Health Care bill, HF-3839, into law. The bill will become effective on July 1, 2001.

“The Colleges have sunk to such a low level that they must be scrapped, purged or eliminated.  I am working on additional bills which will eliminate the Ontario College and replace it with a citizen driven body.  The medical profession has lost its privilege of self-governance in most countries (e.g. Britain, China, Scandinavia).  Canada is one of the few countries to allow this out-dated practice.”

DR. JERRY GREEN, M.D.

For the last 13 years, Dr. Green has devoted himself to alternative medicine specializing in heart disease, arthritis, cancer and allergies.  This involves giving people the information and skills that they need in order to look after their health problems through the use of food, vitamins, herbs, aerobic exercise and lifestyle manipulation.  He has developed an extensive referral network of alternative and ordinary practitioners and has hundreds of thankful people who credit him with their good health.

He believes that the lineups at emergency departments and cancer treatment centers will vanish as patients demand more alternative medicine.
