Life Happens
Hi Gang
I just didn’t feel like marketing this week. With Gary Halbert Dying
it just didn’t feel right.
I’ve been trying to find the right words to write but have failed
miserably. Fortunately, John Carlton did not and his tribute was
a wonderful read written in the way only John Carlton can.

Awesome John.
I found myself again and again this week starting of a sentence
“You Know Gary Would Say….” and every time I did it hurt.
Then I had an idea.
I interrupted my new new marketing series on you tube
and posted a video about one of the things I learnt from Gary Halbert
You can see my effort here
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ubcCk9aLcQo
I’d encourage you to do the same - but I do want to make a few points
This is about giving Gary a living legacy on you tube - not a lame
attempt by me to do some marketing.
(Unbelievably - one marketer is desperately trying to pedal some old
conference video’s in a tasteless attempt to collect emails
I’m disgusted by this - I’ll put up the last conference appearence by
Gary (He came to speak for Frank and I at San Diego)
and I’ll just put it on you tube - with no links or hidden tags)
You’ll note - my video contains one tag only - Gary Halbert
nothing to do with me or any other tags to divert attention.
I just think it would be cool that if people type in Gary Halbert on
you tube - they hear people talking about how he made a difference.
It was also good to here from Kevin Halbert at Gary’s web site
http://www.thegaryhalbertletter.com/
I’d encourage you to check that out as well.
Hope the rest of your weekend goes well.
Speak Soon

Hi Ed - I just listened to your tasteful video tribute to Gary on You Tube.
And want to remind you to take good care of YOURSELF, as whilst Gary was your mentor - YOU are many of ours and we care and value your contribution to our lives!

THE NIGEL THOMAS PETITION
AUTISM:STOP THE DECEIT: START THE TREATMENT
My name is Nigel Thomas and I am petitioning on behalf of my two brothers and many thousands of children and young adults worldwide. These youngsters are physically ill, and in almost all cases are being refused treatment; most have also been refused adequate educational provision and those who are now approaching adulthood face a life of uncertainty and continued suffering. Most regressed into autistic-like disorders in early childhood.
Whilst experts argue about whether the catastrophic rise in the rates of Autism Spectrum Disorders is due to better diagnosis, better services or maybe even watching television, children continue to suffer. At the same time a growing body of evidence of environmental contributions to these conditions continues to be systematically and ruthlessly discredited.
The reason these youngsters are ignored is that many of their parents have dared to attribute their condition to environmental exposures such as childhood vaccines. Some of the very few medical professionals offering hope have been summoned to appear before the UK General Medical Council (GMC) in July this year. This is the body which regulates UK medical practice and it has the power to prevent a doctor practising at all. The threat that faces Dr Andrew Wakefield, Professor John Walker Smith and Professor Simon Murch is that they may be struck-off the medical register for daring to investigate why these children are so ill, which no-one else has been prepared to do.
The GMC hearing, currently scheduled for the 16th July this year, will be a highly publicised event which many see as an opportunity for the truth to be aired. Others believe the outcome may already be pre-ordained. Whichever is the case, the parents, brothers, sisters, friends, neighbours and professionals who know these children have decided that enough is enough.
My mother has a letter from Sir Liam Donaldson, the UK Chief Medical Officer, suggesting that the “disorders of bowel habit” suffered by many of these children “… may reflect the eating habits that some autistic children have” rather than an underlying bowel condition. Despite Sir Liam’s view, the underlying bowel condition suffered by many children with autism has frequently been confirmed, on biological testing, to reflect inflammation in bowel tissues containing vaccine strain measles virus. In his letter to my mother Sir Liam points out that he is unable to comment on “details of particular children”. I can. As a brother of two children with significant bowel problems and autism, I have seen first hand their decline, seen them screaming in pain, and I have seen how all but a handful of doctors repeatedly refused to investigate their problems, brushing off the family’s concerns and leaving us helpless, like thousands of other families around the world. The only doctors who were prepared to help are now on trial whilst the children are denied basic investigations.
This is not just about MMR, not just about mercury in vaccines and in the end, not just about autism. This is about a public health disaster of gigantic proportions that will affect this generation and generations to come, and those responsible must be brought to account. It is about the refusal of mainstream medicine to accept the consequences of their actions. It is about the refusal to treat a condition that is becoming almost commonplace; a condition for which the medical profession is largely responsible; a condition whose existence the medical profession ruthlessly denies in the light of its culpability. From its first day and for its duration the GMC hearing will be a window on this world of deceit. My brothers and I will be outside the building on day one and we will not be standing alone. Be there with us if you can, but at the very least, sign this petition for us to present on the day.
We are not asking for the moon on a stick, but we are demanding that governments and health organisations worldwide stop investigating the doctors and start investigating the patients.
PLEASE SIGN THE PETITION : STOP THE DECEIT: START THE TREATMENT

Guys, I appreciate your time to read this information (Some of you might not receive it as the emails I have are probably auto reply) and I am asking you as someone who can reach a large number of people to take a couple of minutes and send this out to your list and ask them to sign the petition. I understand that they are trying to get 10,000 signatures on the petition and are now up to about 7000.
You may be asking what I will get out of this?
“My sister has an Autistic son and she asked me to get involved, and to know that I tried to help and make a differenceâ€
