Dr. Hulda Update -- Please Pass On

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone,

This is the Dr. Hulda summary and update. She was arrested in San

Diego, CA on Monday Sept. 20. There was a warrant out for her arrest from

Brown County, Indiana; she is being charged with " practicing medicine

without a license. " She was supposed to have a hearing in CA Monday Oct. 4,

and instead is now en route to Brown County, Indiana, where her hearing will

take place quite soon. Please forgive me if I have not been able to respond

personally to specific questions you've had. Don't give up! I've got

hundreds of emails to deal with, which is great! But please write again if

I do not get back to you personally in a few days....

As explained in her son's letter below, somehow, the jail authorities did

not manage to get Dr. to the San Diego hearing. She was picked up

this morning, and is en route to Indiana. Her hearing must be held within

48 hours. This means it could possibly be held as early as Thursday, but

may be on Friday or Monday. As soon as we're given word on this, we will

post it. Ideally, we would like as many supporters as possible to show up

to the courthouse in the town of Nasheville, and be willing to talk to the

media about how they have been helped by Dr. 's methods. In lieu of

attending her hearing, we are still asking for letters of support. If you

are interested, you may also want to write your local paper with a letter to

the editor, expressing outrage over the suppression of alternative treatment

options, and your desire for an overhauling of our health care system.

We have a new address to send letters to, for Hulda 's support. These

letters may be given to her attorney, or to the judge, or to the local

media. A wonderful supporter whose husband used the methods to cure

himself of cancer (I spoke with her by phone today) has volunteered to

accept both letters and faxes, and get them to the hearing for us.

Please fax your letters to : (217) 427-5733

Please mail your letters, preferably 2 copies to:

c/o Dr. Research Association

9710 Camp Drake Rd.

Fairmount, Illinois

61841-6301

You may also still email the Brown County Democrat at: newsroom@...

Editor Wayt (sorry for the previous incorrect spelling!) has already

received letters from all over the world in support of Dr. , including

letters from Taiwan, Switzerland, Indonesia, New Zealand, England, and

Germany.

You're doing a great job!!!!!!!!

This is, unfortunately, a very sticky situation. Clearly, Dr. 's work

has helped thousands of people around the world. Legally, I am not sure

where we stand in this case. This is why we must use this time to address,

as I have mentioned earlier, the deeper issues her case represents,

including; What constitutes healing? Who decides what constitutes healing,

and what are they basing their decisions on? Why are people who are helping

others heal being prosecuted instead of supported, for their work?

These issues need to be addressed at the national level, and we need to work

together to revolutionize our approach and relationship to healing. There

are a lot of efficacious treatments that are not legal, or are considered

quackery, because they are not adopted by the proper channels. We are

trying to get national media involvement to address this problem, so if you

have media connections and are interested in this issue, please write.

I am in the process of building a web site for the work I do. Please keep

in touch with me regarding the fight for a sensible, sane, health care

system.

More to come soon, and thank you, ever so much for everything,

Tangerine Bolen

Letter from Geoff , re. San Diego hearing.

This morning was supposed to be a hearing for Dr. . The judge wanted

a progress report on her extradition to Indiana. Dr. 's California

attorney, Potter, was there, Tim Bolen the publicist was there,

Channel 10 was there, the Union Tribune was there, about two dozen

supporters wearing orange ribbons were there, and of course the judge. But

when Dr. 's case was called, the Deputies informed the judge that Dr.

" could not be found. " The prevailing opinion was that perhaps Indiana

deputies had arrived to take her back to Indiana. Nevertheless, jail is

where authorities put people to make sure they know where they are, and to

have those same authorities say they didn't know was disconcerting.

I spoke with Dr. around 3PM today and she said she was in the line to

board the bus to come to the courthouse when for no apparent reason a deputy

called her name and sent her back to her cell.

The judge reset her court date to tomorrow (Tuesday, same time, same place).

We reconvened outside the courtroom to talk to the media. Channel 10 ran the

story on their Five O'clock News Hour.

Meanwhile, the story is making the front page in the Bloomington, Indiana

Herald-Times. You can read it yourself at
