Malaysian World Health Organisation Delegates Visit Charter Complex Recently (WHO) World Health Organisation delegates/representatives attended a meeting in Auckland as guests of the New Zealand Government to discuss setting world health standards for indigenous people. I understand the purpose of holding this special meeting in New Zealand was to provide an opportunity for the delegates/representatives who attended to view the changes, which are occurring in our domestic policy. I understand the intention or goal is to set world health standards for indigenous people from within New Zealand.
	As a result of this meeting being held here in New Zealand we were fortunate to receive a visit from the Malaysian World Health contingency headed by the Honourable Dr Chua Soi Lek Malaysian Minister of Health and other state Ministers. This meeting was arranged as ajoint venture with our own New Zealand Ministry of Health Officials at the request of the Honourable Dr Chua Soi Lek.
The purpose of Dr Chua Soi Lek requesting a meeting with the Charter executive was to investigate the Charters role in the health sector with its various practitioners and modalities and report back to the Malaysian Prime Minister who is apparently open and receptive to discussing ways in which Malaysia can improve the health status of its citizens. It's a pity our own medically trained and oriented Ministry of Health officials don't have such an open mind. The meeting was held at the Charter offices in Auckland where Charter executive members met and chatted over afternoon tea and had the opportunity to discuss integrative medicine and therapy protocols. After the meeting the entourage travelled to the Apollo Health Centre in Albany Auckland to be welcome guests of Caroll Macy (Chartered Practitioner) and Dr Kevin Walters a Director of the Apollo Health and Wellness Centre. Caroll was instrumental in arranging the visit to the Apollo Centre and provided a warm welcome to our visitors. During the visit to Carolls clinical suite our guests were presented with an outline of Carolls specific Isopathic treatment. Dr Walters provided a guided tour and presentation of the facilities for our guests, which are very impressive indeed. I would like to thank all those who took part in warmly welcoming our special guests who I feel enjoyed their time meeting with us and visiting the Apollo Health and Wellness Centre.

Trans-Tasman law hopes fade again Posted 18 September 2006 (Pharma In Focus)

Hopes that legislation to set up the proposed ANZ Therapeutic Product Authority (TPA) might be tabled this month have been dashed as parliaments on both sides of the Tasman take a break with no sign of the law appearing.

Confidence rose earlier this month that the basic law underpinning the operation of the joint regulatory scheme for Australia and New Zealand would be brought before the NZ Parliament last week but the week ended without seeing a bill.

The parliament resumes on October 10th for a three week sitting but there is no indication whether the bill will be introduced at that time.

In Australia, a mirror image bill remains on the list of bills proposed for introduction during the Spring sittings of parliament but is also yet to appear. Both houses broke for three weeks last Thursday.

Despite the absence of legislation and continuing fears that when the bill emerges, it will not get beyond first reading stage in NZ because of sufficient cross party support has not yet been secured, the bureaucracy is proceeding as if there is no doubt about the eventual introduction of joint regulation.

Phase two of the three phase round of industry consultations that began in May this year is about to commence and will focus on the draft advertising rule, the draft rule for blood and blood components and the remainder of the draft administration rule.

Presented by Dr. Kenneth V. McIver. Bio-Med. Director of Research ,for the New Zealand Charter of Health Practitioners Incorporated

Codex continues to march forward embracing fully the development of an international pharmaceutical monopoly take over and control all forms of natural therapies and dietary supplements. However at the present time there is a pressing need to concentrate our efforts into preserving the home front.

Prime focus needs to be placed on two levels;

Level 1
The Australian Therapeutic Goods Agency take-over of every aspect of New Zealand health to the detriment of both consumers and practitioners.

Level 2
Australia New Zealand Food Safety Authority The failure to ensure the nutritional quality of food available for consumers.

Regarding Level 1
The Australian Therapeutic Goods Agency take-over continues to be blocked by all the opposition parliamentary parties. The Labour party and the Ministry of Health continue to develop the Australian proposals and have wasted over five million dollars $5,000,000 of taxpayers money on the project. This five million dollars has never been approved of by parliament.
The questions we should be asking ourselves and the politicians is how much can be spent on this project which has had no possibility of being accepted by the New Zealand parliament and is no closer to being accepted than it was at its inception some seven years ago?

Regarding Level 2
The Australia New Zealand Food Safety Authority has failed to adequately monitor the quality of available food in New Zealand.
Campylobacter infections have reached epidemic proportions in New Zealand, with scientists estimating that 50,000 New Zealanders are becoming ill from the bacteria, and 400 hospitalised each year.
The Food Authority registers and allows the import of radiated canned food and fresh fruit and vegetables into nuclear free New Zealand. The Food Authority continues to allow food additives and colourings that have been shown to be detrimental to health.

The Food Authority has not taken any action to control the incidence of campylobacter bacteria in all factory chicken products. The Director blatantly announced on National Television we are studying the situation, and that these studied could take a year. Now isn't that great?
In the meantime a large number of New Zealanders will become sick incapacitated and a number will die.

Great News: Mindscape is coming to Auckland, New Zealand!
February 23-25, 2007 (Fri 6:30-9:30pm, Sat & Sun 9:00am-5:00pm)

Discover the Magic of Your Mind!
Everything you do in life, and how well you do it, depends on how you use your mind. Yet we are trained to use mainly the logical function of our brain, and seldom use the immensely powerful faculties of the creative and intuitive mind. This effectively means that you are using only a small fraction of your mind's ability! The good news is that it is possible to expand the use of the mind, just as the ancient mystics did, and open vast new possibilities for life. MINDSCAPE can unlock this potential. This course is a life changing opportunity! www.innatehealing.net and read the testimonials (click on the Courses button and then on Mindscape).

Further Information: Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any questions or require additional information about the training, the venue or accommodations.

Phillip Day’s Simple Changes tour

Drawing from over twenty years’ research in health and well-being, world-class speaker and prolific author Phillip Day provides some hilarious yet thought-provoking insights into what it takes to keep it together in the rap, jet exhaust and neon of the 21st Century. Never Retire (the insurance companies have embezzled your pension fund anyway). Own a Good Conscience (forgive, even if you are not forgiven). Enjoy Silence. Live in the Present. Lose the Mobile Phone. Is he serious? ‘The hamster-wheel effect,’ Day explains, ‘works against us. Slowing down the pace of our lives does a huge amount to help us take stock of what we can accomplish.’ To view the tour, log on to www.credence.org,
