California Citizens for Health Freedom supports the following bills
We invite you to join us in supporting the following California State Bills by communicating with your representative or appropriate committee. If you don't know who your representative is see
How to contact/find your representative.
For tips see writing letters to your representative.
This year we are concentrating our efforts on
passing a Bill that would allow licensed physicians to offer safe/effective
alternative treatments for cancer.
Restricted
Alternative Cancer Treatment
Freedom for physicians in
California to have the same rights as physicians have in other states to offer
safe/effective alternative treatment for cancer is illegal under
Section 109335 of the Health and Safety Code.
It has been the goal of our
organization to change the California law that makes it a criminal offense to
prescribe or administer
cancer treatments other than chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery. There are
alternative treatments for cancer that are very effective, less expensive and do
not have the terrible side effects of the conventional treatments.
We introduced a cancer freedom
bill in the past with thousands of support letters yet this bill was defeated.
The political power of the California Medical Association, the opposition by the
oncology physicians and the Medical Board along with the influence of the drug
industry has made it almost impossible for passage of an alternative cancer
bill.
This year our organization is
trying a different approach. We are focusing on the Medical Board to reinstate
their Committee on Alternative Treatments and to present to that Committee the
facts about the safety and effectiveness of alternative treatments for cancer.
The goal is to prevail on the Medical Board to sponsor a bill to change the
state law.
How you can help:
Attend meetings of the
California Medical Board, the Board meets four times a year � the next meeting
is November first and second in San Diego. The other locations will be the San
Francisco Area, Sacramento and Los Angeles. For location, times and agenda go
to
http://www.medbd.ca.gov/meetings.htm.
The best time to attend the
general meeting of the Board is usually on Friday mornings about ten. The public
is invited to attend and address the Board. In your presentation always be
short, polite and positive. A simple statement of �You are pledged to protect
the public. In doing so you should support the right of citizens to have access
to all forms of good medicine. To have it illegal in California to make it a
crime for physicians to practice safe and effective treatment for cancer is not
protecting the public. Please work to change that law.�
You may write a letter and
express your view to the Board as a whole, letters should be addressed to
Members of the Board, or write to individual members in care of the Board. The
address is California Medical Board,
1426 Howe Avenue, #54, Sacramento, CA 95825.
Again be positive in your communication. Board
Members generally want to serve the public, as they are very committed
individuals. We want them on our side.
It is expensive for our
California Citizens for Health Organization to carry out the legislative work
when we are opposed by very wealthy lobby groups. Donations large and small to
assist us would be appreciated. Note: donations are not tax deductible because
we are a 501C-4 (political/non-partisan)
non-profit organization.
If you can afford ten or more
dollars a month you can have automatic donations made from your credit card. To
receive a form to be completed with your information, send an email to
[email protected] and we will send it to you. We can accept
Discover, Vista, MasterCard and American Express. Checks should be payable to
California Citizens for Health Freedom (CCFHF) and sent to 8048 Mamie Ave,
Oroville, California 95966.
