The Fifth World Health
Organisation (5WHO) is an alternative health
organisation. It intends to evolve into a Fourth, Fifth, and
Sixth World health organisation.
The 5WHO intends to provide Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth Worlders with
up-to-date information on real professionals operating within
the Official World in various capacities, but who also hold
authentic Fourth, Fifth, or Sixth World citizenship.
In order to be added to the Fifth
World Health Organisation (5WHO) database, applicants must
provide their basic contact and professional data, along with
any evidence of their Certificates, Registrations, Licenses,
Qualifications, Educations, and/or Professional Memberships.
Only Official World certificates or diplomas, or a combination
of Official and Micronational, shall be accepted as evidence of
Profession or Modality for the time being, but we will consider
issuing special 5WHO Certification when objective and meaningful
evidence can be shown.
The 5WHO recognises the Herbalists'
Charter, which was granted by King Henry VIII in
1512. This codified English statute became part of what is still
known as common law, gave the
field of naturopathy recognition and legality, and protected
natural health practitioners from the harassment, still going on
to this day, by those in the medical profession.
In consideration whereof, and for the Ease, Comfort,
Succour, Help, Relief, and Health of the King's poor Subjects,
Inhabitants of this Realm, now pained or diseased: Be it
ordained, established, and enacted by Authority of this
present Parliament, That at all Time from henceforth it shall
be lawful to every Person being the King's subject. having
Knowledge and Experience of the Nature of Herbs, Roots, and
Waters, or of the Operation of the same, by Speculation or
Practice, within any part of the Realm of England, or within
any other the King's Dominions, to practice, use, and minister
in and to any outward Sore, Uncome Wound, Apostemations,
outward Swelling or Disease, any Herb or Herbs, Ointments,
Baths, Pultess, and Emplaisters, according to their Cunning,
Experience, and Knowledge in any of the Diseases, Sores, and
Maladies beforesaid, and all other like to the same, or Drinks
for the Stone, Strangury, or Agues, without suit, vexation,
trouble, penalty, or loss of their goods; the foresaid Statute
in the foresaid Third Year of the King's most gracious Reign,
or any other Act, Ordinance, or Statutes to the contrary
heretofore made in anywise, notwithstanding.
It should be noted as a matter of
legal fact that under the General Laws of the Colonies taken
over by the USA, these rights
are still in force in the original Thirteen Colonies,
and have never been repealed. The original Thirteen Colonies of
the United States (British North America) are:
New England
Province of New Hampshire,
later New Hampshire
Province of Massachusetts Bay, later Massachusetts and Maine
Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations, later
Rhode Island
Connecticut Colony, later Connecticut.
Middle Colonies
Province of New York, later New York and Vermont[1]
Province of New Jersey, later New Jersey
Province of Pennsylvania, later Pennsylvania
Delaware Colony (before 1776, the Lower Counties on
Delaware), later Delaware
Southern Colonies (depending on the subject under
discussion, Virginia and Maryland may be separated as Chesapeake Colonies)
Province of Maryland,
later Maryland
Colony and Dominion of
Virginia, later Virginia,
Kentucky and West Virginia
Province of North
Carolina, later North
Carolina and Tennessee
Province of South
Carolina, later South
Carolina
Province of Georgia, later
Georgia
So the rights instituted under
the Herbalists' Charter
for natural health practitioners are still in fact in force in 18 current US states.
To a degree, the Herbalists' Charter, which
protects herbalists and all natural health practitioners from
arbitrary prosecution, is still in force throughout the United States
through the Ninth Amendment
of the US Constitution, which states that, "The enumeration in
the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to
deny or disparage others retained by the people." Under the Ninth Amendment one may
claim the right to offer services and the right of others to
obtain the same. However, the Herbalists'
Charter is also common
law in Canada,
in the state of Nevada,
and may be still common law
throughout much of the British
Commonwealth. This is the legal premise under which the
Fifth World Health Organisation
(5WHO) is founded.
It must also be added that according to recent legal
discoveries, the rationale of jus
humanae salutis is actually based on international law, and
doesn't apply solely to the United States, Canada, much of the
British Commonwealth, and to the Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth
Worlds, since it also applies to contracting states of theMontevideo
Convention, and may in fact apply universally.
According to the Montevideo
Convention Article 11, contracting states establish as
a rule the obligation not to recognise territorial acquisitions
or special advantages which have been obtained by force, or by
any other effective coercive measure. In other words, you shall
not deprive any state of its territory. However, if the
territory of each state is sacrosanct, and is usually viewed
that way by any state,
because the properties of individual citizens are sacrosanct
(right to private property), what more personal and intimate
property does any citizen have than his own body?
The violation of jus humanae salutis, the violation of any of
the health common laws that exist to preserve human life, are no
less violations than a violation of the Article 11 of the Montevideo Convention.
In addition, the Latin words behind jus humanae salutis not only
imply a right to human health,
but also a right to human
salvation, which is more a matter of the human soul
than one of the human body. So another practical consequence is
that through jus humanae salutis Cesidian law doesn't apply
solely to human health,
but also to spiritual
or religious matters.[2]

In
order to apply for 5WHO Certification, candidates for
Health Registry listing must provide their First
and Last Name (as it appears on any Official World Document,
Certificate, or Diploma); any requested Pseudonym or
Fictitious Name they wish to use to protect their privacy (in
first and last name form); their Professional Email Address
(which shall be kept confidential, and only divulged to 5WHO
parties that need your services and/or products); the name of their
Nation/Micronation; their Country of Residence (Official
World); their health Professions, Skills,
Modalities, or Titles to be recorded; and
any evidence of Profession, Skill, Modality, or Title, in
the form of Certificates, Registrations, Licences,
Qualifications, Diplomas, Degrees, or Professional
Memberships. Remember: it is your
responsibility, not the 5WHO's, to provide evidence or proof
backing your professional or educational claims. The 5WHO
reserves the right to take any human individual or organisation
off its list whose claims are not backed by sufficient evidence or
proof.
While the candidate
must initially apply via the cyan-coloured form on the right,
he/she must later provide evidence of Professionalism or Title
in the form of emailed PDF documents, or snail-mailed
photocopies of documents to the 5WHO office. The 5WHO reserves the right to
cancel or not register memberships that are not backed up
with photocopies of documents
which provide reasonable evidence of Professionalism or Title.
Please
note that the 5WHO is not a party or signatory to the Hague
Convention of 1961 abolishing the requirement of
diplomatic or consular legalisation for foreign public
documents. We recognise all foreign documents because health professionals
have presented them, and then we recognise any
possible companies, organisations, schools, universities,
institutions, jurisdictions, dominions, Nations,
Micronations, territories, or States. This is a
'bottom-up' or grassroots honour system, not the
'top-down' or imperialistic recognition implied by the
Hague Convention.
Based on the
endorsement of qualified Micronational
Professional Registry (MPR) members,
the MPR, an affiliated organisation to the 5WHO,
recognises several Nations, Jurisdictions,
Micronations, Universities, Schools, Associations,
Companies, even Royal Families. MPR recognition
implies that the minimal criteria for any relationship
has been met. This recognition does not imply
diplomatic recognition (it is de facto
rather than de jure recognition), only that
minimal professional and/or academic criteria have
been met, and the MPR can certify the professional,
organisation, institution, Micronation, or Nation. The
5WHO recognises the authority of both the Micronational Professional
Registry (MPR) and the United Micronations
Multi-Oceanic Archipelago (UMMOA), and recognised
5WHO members automatically become members of the MPR
as well.
The
5WHO recognises all real health professionals 21 and
older, and does not otherwise discriminate on the
basis of sex, race, age, National origin, Micronational
allegiance, sexual orientation, family composition or
type, religion, disability, or veteran status. Also, the
5WHO recognises all real health professional companies,
institutions, clinics, and does not discriminate on the
basis of registered or incorporated status, institutional
or National accreditation, territorial status, or UN/UNPO
Membership. If you are a health professional; possibly
run a health company, institution, or clinic
professionally; are a supporter of the Fourth, Fifth,
and Sixth World; are 21 years old or older, as well as
decent or ethical; you are fine with us!
Member
professionals of the 5WHO are entitled to use
post-nominal letters that specify they are Members of
the 5WHO. If your name is Fabrizio Ferragamo, and you
are a professional Member of the 5WHO, you can write
your name as "Fabrizio Ferragamo, 5WHO". Health
companies, institutions, or clinics Members of the 5WHO
are also entitled to use post-nominal letters that
specify they are Members of the 5WHO. If the name of
your health institution is Father Kneipp Health Clinic,
for example, and it is a Member of the 5WHO, you can
write the name of your institution as "Father Kneipp
Health Clinic, 5WHO".
Naturopathy is the
philosophy, art, and science that recognises the body's
inherent processes of healing, and acts in no way to
suppress, antagonise, or hinder these vital life forces.
Naturopathy rather arouses, assists, and cooperates with
the body to restore normality.
In
today's knowledge explosion it is impossible for medical
doctors to properly know all they need to know in order
to serve their patients. It is even less possible for a
naturopath to master all naturopathic modalities.
Naturopathic modalities make use of the healing
properties of natural agencies such as air, sinshine,
water, light, heat, electricity, manipulations, rest,
natural vital foods, organic vitamins, organic minerals,
and herbs in conjunction with cleansing and elimination
processes of other physical and mental cultures.
Naturopathy is thus an eclectic mixture of modalities
used to encourage the mind and body to heal itself.
The
Fifth World Health
Organisation (5WHO) recognises all drugless,
surgery-free, and noninvasive naturopathic modalities
without prejudice. Membership in the 5WHO is without
fees for now.
"The state has not restricted the
cure of the body to the practice of medicine and surgery —
allopathy, as it is termed, — nor required that, before
anyone can be treated for any bodily ill, the physician must
have acquired a competent knowledge of allopathy and be
licensed by those skilled therein. To do that would be to
limit progress by establishing allopathy as the state system
of healing, and forbidding all others. This would be as
foreign to our system as a state church for the cure of
souls. All the state has done has been to enact that, when
one wished to practice medicine or surgery, he must, as a
protection to the public [not to the doctor], be examined
and licensed by those skilled in surgery and medicine. To
restrict all healing to that one kind — to allopathy,
excluding homeopathy, osteopathy, and all other treatments —
might be a protection to doctors in surgery and medicine;
but that is not the object of the act, and might make it
unconstitutional, because creating a monopoly."
North Carolina's Supreme
Court in State v MacKinght, 42 S.E. 580, 1902 at p 582.
Different Systems of Medicine
Conventional
medicine
refers to the classic
medical training offered through mainstream
medical schools. This is a drugs-and-surgery
approach to medicine that largely excludes
nutrition, wellness, mind-body medicine, patient
education, and other natural therapies.
Organised
medicine
refers to the collection
of organisations that promote conventional
medicine. This encompasses pharmaceutical
companies, the FDA, hospitals, doctors, medical
schools, and medical organisations such as the
American Medical Association as well as disease
organisations like the American Cancer Society and
the American Diabetes Association.
Western medicine
refers to the type of
medicine practiced in the West; the United States,
Western Europe, and so on. It's based on the
philosophical foundations of Western thinking,
which maintains that a body is only a collection
of its parts, and that by isolating the parts and
studying them separately, you can understand the
whole.
Eastern medicine
refers the whole can
only be understood through the synergistic
functioning of its parts. Looks at the whole
patient, the whole body, the whole experience, and
never believes that just treating one organ or
using one chemical, drug, or herb is the answer to
any health condition.
Traditional
Chinese Medicine (TCM)
involves the treatment
of patients using the fundamental approaches of
healing developed over the last 4000 years in
China. The treatments in Chinese medicine include
acupuncture, Chinese herbs, and Tui-Na, which
resembles massage therapy combined with
therapeutic touch. Chinese medicine has the
longest history, and the most practical
application, of any system of medicine in the
world, outdating Western medicine by about 3800
years. In China, doctors were practicing
relatively advanced medicine before the birth of
Christ. Western medicine, in response, dismisses
everything under Chinese medicine, ignoring the
long history of safe and effective use of Chinese
herbs, acupuncture, and other philosophies
espoused by Traditional Chinese Medicine. Chinese
medicine is not limited to China, by the way. The
way it is practiced in the United States is not
true Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine education
has become Westernised in the United States. Just
like the Chinese food served in the United States
is nothing like Chinese food purchased in China,
Chinese medicine in the United States doesn't
match the Chinese medicine practiced in China.
Ayurvedic
medicine
is a system of holistic
medicine practiced widely in India and throughout
Southeast Asia. It is also gaining popularity and
recognition in the United States, Europe,
Australia and many other areas of the world as
people come to recognise the inherent wisdom and
innate safety of Ayurvedic medicine. Based on
thousands of years of development and use,
Ayurvedic medicine is organised around the energy
patterns of individuals (the way they use their
bodies, what they eat, how they digest, levels of
body heat, etc.) and treatment using a wide array
of medicinal herbs and substances (like essential
oils, coconut oil, and so on). There is also a
prominent recognition of the mind/body link in
Ayurvedic medicine.
Complementary
medicine (CAM)
is a term that defenders
of conventional medicine like to use to claim
intellectual ownership over alternative medicine.
Complementary medicine means combining
conventional therapies with alternative therapies,
but the alternative therapies are almost always
dismissed from being the primary treatments as
they are routinely relegated to supportive roles.
Promoters of complementary medicine are usually
closet drugs-and-surgery pushers who use this
phrase to avoid appearing totally out of touch
with health trends. Conventional doctors refer to
it as CAM, or Complementary and Alternative
Medicine.
Integrative
medicine
is a relatively recent
term that typically describes a more balanced,
welcoming approach to using natural therapies
alongside conventional ones. While this system of
medicine still uses conventional medicine
therapies such as drugs and surgeries, it usually
recommends them only as a last resort, instead
attempting to prevent or treat health conditions
using natural therapies first. Similar to the
philosophy of naturopathic physicians.
Advanced
medicine
refers to the future of
medicine, based on supporting the patient's health
and wellness rather than attacking the patient
with various chemicals or procedures like
radiation and surgery. Advanced medicine is the
first step to the new age of understanding about
the true underlying causes of health and wellness.
Advanced medicine makes conventional medicine and
Western medicine obsolete, and it includes
therapies like phototherapy, sunlight, nutrition,
sound therapy, vibrational medicine,
electromedicine, mind-body medicine, energy
healing, and other similar modalities that were
once considered experimental, but are now
well-known to be both safe and effective at
supporting the health of the patient.
