Feb. 1,2,3 Houston congress
US CONGRESS IN HOUSTON, FEB. 1-3, 2008
WORLD ORGANIZATION FOR NATURAL MEDICINE
We are pleased to inform that a Congress venue has been secured at the Houston Airport Wyndham Greenspoint Hotel and that WONMP members and practitioners are invited to join this most important Congress for Natural Medicine.
Friday Feb. 1 and Saturday Feb. 2nd will have a rewarding round of speakers and scholars and confirmed speakers will be posted soon. Topics will include nutrition, endocrinopathy, electrodermal diagnosis and treatment, and many others in WONMP's on-going tradition.
Sunday Feb. 3rd will be a legal forum in the morning with speaker workshops in the afternoon. Special guest, Cloudpiler, Elected Principle Medicine Chief, Nemenhah Band and Native American Traditional Organization (Okleveuha Native American Church of Sanpete), will be speaking and available for issues concerning the practice of native, traditional medicines. His Excellency Prof. Charles McWilliams, will be speaking on the Sovereign Order of the Knights Hospitaller, the oldest medical charity in the world and who brought civilization the esteem of the doctor, the servitude as beneficence, and the hospital as we once knew it.
Learn how you may become adopted as a native american indian practitioner (medicine man/woman). Learn how you may become an international citizen under the protectorates of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and the newly chartered Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Where your practice and your medicines are cultural heritages if not your religion.
Hospitaller medicine was based on the works of Hippocrates and Galen. The Order made dramatic contributions to medicine and hygiene, such as the procedures for quarantine [forty days and forty nights], separation of patients into single beds to prevent contagion, the conduct and rules for nursing, hygiene and continuing education for doctors in cadaver anatomy and surgery.
The Hippocratic Corpus constitutes even today the essential basis of natural medicine because it encompasses the various complementary aspects of medical science and practice. These can be summarized as follows:
* Disease is not caused by demons or capricious deities but rather by natural forces that obey natural laws. Hence, therapeutic procedures can be developed on a rational basis if one knows natural law . These procedures include the use of regimens, dietary, herbs, and surgical techniques designed to correct the ill effects of natural forces.
* The well-being of man is under the influence of the environment, including in particular air, water, places, and the various regimens (two books of the Corpus respectively). The understanding of the effect of the environment on man is the fundamental basis of the physician's art.
* Health is the expression of a harmonious balance between the various components of man's nature (the four humors that control all human activities) and the environment and ways of life. This would later find its place in contemporary medicine by the tenets of homeostasis of Claude Bernard and the essential basis of emerging naturopathy and nature cure.
* Whatever happens in the mind influences the body and vice versa. In fact, mind and body cannot be considered independently one from the other. (As much as modern medicine today believes to its conviction or otherwise, and bases psychiatric care on mind altering drugs, the Hippocratic corpus does not support this contention. For the body to be healed, the mind must be also; and if one has a sick body, there must be a sickness in mind.)
* Health means a healthy mind in a healthy body, and can be achieved only by governing daily life in accordance with natural laws, which ensures an equilibrium between the different forces of the organism and those of the environment. These tenets persist to this day in nature cure and naturopathy. * Medicine is an ethical profession and implies an attitude of reverence for the human condition. This constitutes the Hippocratic Oath. The influence of the Hippocratic Doctrines profoundly influenced the Hospitaller's, as then medical practices always implied a reverence for the human condition and full intent to do no harm with words, drugs, and surgery.
Most all 'doctors of medicine,' today, are unaware of the fact that the medical implication of these duties has been founded by at least three great traditions:
* the Hippocratic tradition of competent medical craftsmanship, * the Samaritan tradition of helping one's neighbor in all circumstances, and
* the Knights' Hospitaller tradition of noble service.
These have become a cultural heritage and native right.
Dr. Eric Carter, member of the US Board of WONMP, will be presenting the legal issues of using Laboratory equipment as it relates to tests the requires human specimens for the purpose of providing information for the diagnosis, prevention or treatment of any disease or impairment of, or the assessment of the health of, a human being to meet certain requirements. If a facility ( e.g. a naturopath's office) performs tests for these purposes, it is considered under the law, to be a laboratory.
CLIA laws apply even if only one or just a few basic tests are performed,
even something as simple as a piece of pH paper inserted into the mouth
for a Reams salivary analysis, and even if there is no charge for the testing.
CLIA standards apply nationwide, waived tests can be performed by technicians,
but research testing requires that a lab director is to be designated for testing when it is beyond the "waived" home category. Waived tests include the simplest tests, such as a home pregnancy test that can be purchased over the counter, or a urine dipstick like that used in a doctor's office.
Natural medicine practitioners are better forewarned, and can operate a laboratory,
open to the public, federally licensed, and providing valuable services within the
CLIA guidelines.
Federal regulations define waived tests as simple laboratory examinations and
use; employ methodologies that are so simple and accurate as to render the
likelihood of erroneous results negligible; or pose no reasonable risk of harm to
the patient if the test is performed incorrectly (42 C.F.R. 493).
We urge practitioners to join WONMP and attend this all important congress and begin to understand the issues at hand in a rapidly changing environment. To register for this congress call:

international - 712 6472170
