Dr.
Doris Rapp
author NY Times best selling book, "Is This Your Child's
World" and pediatrician. "I believe with all my heart
that far too many individuals cannot afford proper medical care or drugs
so we must meet that challenge and educate everyone so they can learn
more about medicine and help to care for themselves. My aim is to make
the very best decisions that I can in relation to all aspects of each
child's total well being. It is rarely just a child who needs treatment;
it is a family. I therefore sincerely try to help all the other family
members if that is indicated and possible while I am caring for the
one child. Our challenge for physicians is to find fast, easy, safe,
effective and inexpensive ways to heal. I will spend the time that is
needed and will not let the insurance companies dictate how long I can
spend with a patient, what I can and cannot do, or what I can charge.
I believe that absolutely nothing is as rewarding as: turning children's
lives around so they are able to reach their full potential, saving
a marriage because a child's unacceptable or inappropriate behavior
or because of undue family stresses which arise when illnesses are only
treated with drugs."

EarthSave
International
EarthSave educates, inspires and empowers
people to shift toward a diet centered on fruits, vegetables, grains and
legumes-- food choices that are healthy for people and for the planet.
EarthSave is leading a global movement of people from all walks of life
taking concrete steps every day to promote healthy and life-sustaining
food choices. EarthSave supplies information, support and practical programs
to the growing cross-section of our society that is discovering the power
of food choices to promote environmental well-being and human health.
We support individuals in making food choices that promote health, reduce
health care costs and provide greater independence from the medical system.
We raise awareness of the vast ecological destruction resulting from the
unsustainable production of animal foods promoting instead a delicious
planet-friendly diet.
Automated Activism
http://www.we-2.com/popc/organic_link.html
The USDA has been swayed by the lobbying efforts of huge Agribusiness
interests. These interests have seen organic farming grow into a multimillion
dollar industry, cutting into a market that had been theirs alone. So
by watering down the meaning of organic, the Agribusiness interests can
accomplish two goals: 1) capture a portion of this market by labeling
products which cannot meet current state standards of organic, as organic
and/or 2) run organic farmers out of business who won't be able to complete
price-wise with Agribusiness. Send an automated protest message by filling
out the form on their website. You will create an email protesting the
proposed USDA Organic Standards to be sent automatically to thirty-six
key policy makers: two key personnel at the USDA, the President & Vice
President, twelve key members of the House of Representatives Agriculture
Committee, all eighteen members of the Senate Agriculture Committee plus
the California Organic Program in Sacramento.
The
Environmental Working Group (EWG) is a leading content provider
for public interest groups and concerned citizens who are campaigning
to protect the environment. Through our reports, articles, technical assistance
and the development of computer databases and Internet resources, EWG's
staff of 18 researchers, computer experts and writers produce hundreds
of headline-making reports each year, drawing on original EWG analyses
of government and other data. EWG is based in Washington, D.C., with an
office in San Francisco.

Center
for a New American Dream
The Center for a New American Dream is a private, not-for-profit organization
dedicated to reducing and shifting North American consumption while fostering
opportunities for people to lead more secure and fulfilling lives. The
organization helps individuals, communities, and businesses establish
sustainable practices that will ensure a healthy planet for future generations.
The Center was founded in 1997 on the principle that a highly materialistic
definition of the American dream is undermining our families, communities,
and the natural world. The Center serves as a hub for numerous local and
national organizations promoting cultural, behavioral, industrial, and
spiritual changes. It distributes educational materials and conducts campaigns
to help individuals make constructive changes within their homes, schools,
workplaces, and communities.
