Because Divided We Fall
In the U.S. alone there are thousands of alternative medical practitioners, and almost as many membership organizations for them to join. Such "coming together" in support of a cause is certainly important, just as is having a registry for practitioners to add to their credibility.
Unfortunately, these many thousands segregate themselves into smaller groups with similar but varying goals. The result is often little more than a nice certificate of membership to hang on the wall, and the real need, the power to speak and act as an effective force, the power to effect change, is extremely diluted.
As an example: Whenever potentially harmful legislation is proposed, and one or more "watchdog" groups becomes aware, they will scramble to begin a campaign against it. This usually results in circulation of a petition that garners a few hundred or sometimes even a few thousand names, and the petitioner has to scramble and plead for funds for the fight ahead. Imagine the scenario if these many thousands of practitioners, individuals and organizations acted as one powerful wave. Imagine one petition, delivered at the stroke of a keyboard to an international forum numbering in the hundreds of thousands or millions, backed by the power of an international intergovernmental organization.
Why We Need One Huge Voice !
Legislation recently passed in Texas that placed many alternative practitioners instantly on the wrong side of the law and subject to arrest. Texans are not alone, nor are alternative medical practitioners. Other States have passed similar legislation, and practitioners of many other occupations, including bible based practitioners, are similarly effected.
On a Federal level and unknown to most practitioners and membership organizations, current legislation makes it a criminal offense for any person in the U.S. (traditional or allopathic) to solicit or receive any materials derived from the human body, for any purpose of examination unless that person has met federal and/or State guidelines for such practice.
The above are but two examples of what happens when we seperate into small groups. Everyone depends on everyone else to give them the "heads up" about harmful legislation. Did your membership organization act against or inform you of how to remain legal in the wake of these new laws ?
WONMP proposes a change. We have an international presence, recognized and accepted in multiple countries, and represent practitioners and organizations on a world wide scale. We are accredited under the IPSP, an intergovernmental organization, and are fully endorsed by the ancient Christian, Sovereign Medical Order of the Knights Hospitaller. But this is not enough, we must ALL come together to have a truly effective voice, hence, the power to return the choice of medicine to the people. Are we wise enough to stand together ?

Because United We Stand
We envision the day, when with the mere stroke of the keyboard, we can rally millions of signatures, from practitioners, citizens, organizations and even governmental entities, objecting to legislation harmful to the right of the people. In many area's of the U.S. it borders on illegal, to even inform the people of effective alternatives to drug therapy, or to help the people that do make a choice about the medicine best suited to their condition. As a voice for traditional and natural medicines, we are not against allopathic medicine as many would suppose, in fact WONMP practitioners are trained in many aspects of conventional medicine. We know that conventional interventions such as surgery and drug therapy are essential in emergencies, and to preserve life when one allows health to degrade to the point of catastrophic occurrence. We believe that conventional, as well as traditional medicine both have a time and place, and the people have a right to know the difference and to make a choice.
Our voice is also not against the States right to regulate practices under their authority to regulate, those occupations that are a "privilege" of the State by their very nature, such as prescribing drugs. We simply wish to object peaceably, in a very large voice, to the States right to claim authority, under the threat of arrest, for that which is a God given right. The State certainly has no right or authority to attempt control over that which was instructed by the ultimate authority, long before the State was formed, yet that is exactly what happened in Texas recently. Lest we set aside the book of life, and the U.S. Constitution, man can control only that which is man's.
We appeal to all practitioners to invite citizens, students, practitioners and organizations to join with us in this international movement to freedom of choice, and a return to safe, effective natural medicines. Please remember that ultimately we ask for support to assure the right of the people to choose their medicine unencumbered, and because we need your help to deliver effective medicine, through appropriately trained practitioners, to the people of all nations.

Because our right to choose is rapidly disappearing...
Everyone including you, the practitioner,
will lose their health freedom if we do not all stand together !
