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.

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
