Choices - Pharmaceutical or Natural - New NHS Bill may restrict your choices
Some years ago my husband and I organised housing for the homeless, alcoholics, drug addicts and their families in W.A. We started women's and children's (girls) refuges in Western Australia and corresponding independent refuges for fathers and (sons). We also rented 10 houses at a time for those who we had assisted to become sober. Over 10 years, as well as drying out the majority of alcoholics and drug addicts that we housed over that period, both my husband and I were honoured with awards including the Young Australian of the Year Award. The WA government paid out appox $8,000,000 for buildings and infrastructure to continue the project and we left to shift with our five children New Zealand, where I was born. The numbers cared for over the ten years were approximately 20,000.
Recently I have done intense research and writing on natural cures and find there are so many cures for so many people, it is entirely ridiculous not to use the benefits of nature and logic, rather than chemical experiment and funerals.
I read a very recent article on natural supplements and the NHS Bill and I would be interested in speaking with Beverley Aldridge (the author) who cares, in my opinion, to fight for peoples rights and lives. If she, or anyone else interested in the freely available use of supplements or natural products would like to ring me on 022 136 1898, I would be pleased to meet with them.

What workplace change would you like to see most?
This coming Monday is Labour Day in New Zealand. This public holiday marks when the eight-hour workday and 48-hour workweek became law in 1899. The idea started with Samuel Parnell, a carpenter in Wellington, who in 1840 refused to work more than eight hours a day. Since skilled workers were in short supply, his employer had to agree.
As more skilled workers arrived, employers tried to change working conditions, but Parnell and others kept pushing for better rights. In 1890, Parnell led a Labour Day parade of 1,500 people to promote the eight-hour day. He passed away shortly after, and nine years later, Labour Day became an official public holiday.
