Medicines: Homeopathic Medicine
These regulations affect companies who wish to market homeopathic medicines. There are currently three schemes in the regulations that apply to homeopathic medicines. Product Licences of Right (PLRs) were issued to all medicinal products on the market at the time that the Medicines Act 1968 was implemented (in 1971). Homeopathic products covered by PLRs may have indications. The Simplified Registration Scheme was introduced in 1992. Products registered under this scheme have been shown to meet safety and quality requirements but are not permitted to be labelled with indications.
A National Rules Scheme allowing homeopathic products to be indicated for the relief or treatment of minor, self-limiting conditions was introduced in September 2006. PLR holders are encouraged to re-authorise their products under the National Rules Scheme, which provides a more secure regulatory position.
We want to hear your views on what more we can do to deliver a simpler, less bureaucratic and more effective system, increase choice and opportunity, and maintain necessary safeguards and legal protections. You can find the regulations that relate to Homeopathic Medicines to the left below.
Please note that some regulations in the medicines section also apply to homeopathic medicines.
Tell us what you think should happen to these regulations and why, being specific where possible:
- Should we scrap them altogether?
- Could their purpose be achieved in a non-regulatory way (eg through a voluntary code?) How?
- Could they be reformed, simplified or merged? How?
- Can we reduce their bureaucracy through better implementation? How?
- Can we make their enforcement less burdensome? How?
- Should they be left as they are?
152 comments on "Medicines: Homeopathic Medicine"
I benefited some 24 years ago from homeopathy when conventional medicine gave up on me. In my early 20′s I had lost my hair, my skin was shredding from my body, I was bloated with high dose steroids, I had been hospitalised for weeks and off work for months – I had no choice but to find other things to make me well or give up on the chance of having a 'normal' life. Don't restrict patient choice and patient's chances to find other solutions to getting well, we are all individual and need to be able to make our own choices about OUR HEALTH and wellbeing.
I was so impressed by homeopathy that eventually I trained in it and recently qualified. The impact of my original homeopathic treatment stayed with me and my family for 2 decades and my son, now 17 years old, has only ever really been treated by homeopathy and complementary therapies and he is fit and very well ( I can count the ammount of times on my hand when he's needed to visit our local GP) so in using homeopathy our family alone has saved the NHS vast ammounts of time and cash!
I really support the fact that people should see a qualifed and registered homeopath to get appropriate advice and treatment, but do acknowledge that for minor symptoms there is a place to purchase products over the counter too as patients have the choice to buy over the counter conventional medications in their local supermarket without speaking to a pharmacist – why should homeopathy be any different?
As a professional homeopath don't restrict my right to practice and prescribe homeopathic medicines, it took 4 years of my life to study to become qualified at great financial expense and at the expense of my family sometimes (my time spent studying). Don't take away my professionalism, my livlihood and my passion to make a difference to all those people who conventional medicine fails.
With the recent introduction of a single directory for all UK qualified and registered homeopaths it should be easier to set guidelines about enabling appropriately qualified and registered professional homeopaths to prescribe any homeopathic medicine that is appropriate for their patient following a detailed consultation and as part of an individualised treatment plan.Comment Tags: Single directory for registered homeopaths -
Clarity is needed in the language of the Medicines Act to confirm in law access to the current supply routes for unlicensed homeopathic medicines so that it exempt from restriction. It is safe, effective holistic medicine and should be freely available to all who choose it above potentially harmful conventional medicines, which the original Medicines Act addressed.Comment Tags: choice, Freely available, safe medicine
I feel that homeopathic medicines should be allowed to be sold, distributed and prescribed freely. These medicines have been prescribed by homeopaths and used freely by the general public for hundreds of years without danger. Why change something that is used safely and effectively by so many people for themselves, their families and their animals? If you remove homeopathy on the grounds of safety, then over the counter sales of antihistamines and analgesics should be stopped too. Let patients have freedom of choice for their health, as the government has promised.Comment Tags: effective, Freedom of choice, safe
Until recently, the pragmatist principle of 'letting sleeping dogs lie' ensured that, without any red tape, certain regulations governing pharmaceutical practice clearly intended for mainstream drugs only were quietly ignored in the case of homeopathic remedies BY THE REGULATOR. This quiet policy has ensured the ready access to homeopathic medicines by the public, safely and for decades.
The safety record of homeopathic medicine speaks for itself: no deaths and no litigation in this country, either within the NHS or in private practice. But sleeping dogs are no longer left alone in the current era – ever-tighter regulation affects all parts of life.
With low-level changes to current regulations (requiring no legislation), the previous status quo can easily be continued – maximising patient choice even where direct access to homeopathic medicines via a specialist pharmacy is not possible (in-person supply from a pharmacist is a key issue in the regulations). The vast majority of the UK's 5-6 million homeopathy users have no direct access to a specialist homeopathic pharmacy but all users of homeopathic products should be entitled to continued choice and therefore the necessary and well-established modern supply paths such as internet orders.
Ensuring this is easily achieved, without red tape: some of the relevant sections of current regulations need a change of wording to ensure that freedom of choice for UK consumers can be secured.Comment Tags: Consumer Choice, homeopathy, Safety
Homeopathic remedies should not be covered by this legislation. As I understand it, this legislation was designed to regulate the supply of pharmaceutical drugs and was not drafted with homeopathic remedies in mind. Homeopathy is a safe and effective healing methodology. Whilst "sceptics" argue that it is no better than placebo I have seen it work well on babies and animals where no placebo effect would be operative. Consumers of homeopathic remedies use them to maintain and improve health and generally take responsibility for their own treatment, without reliance on the NHS. The consolidated act would in effect restrict both ordinary consumers and homeopaths to the sue of only a comparatively small number of remedies as "unlicensed" remedies would only be available face to face form a homeopathic pharmacy of which there are very few. Given that homeopathic remedies and treatment is at worst benign and at best beneficial what possible purpose could be served by effectively restricting access to homeopathic treatment in this way? Surely an amendment could be made to the legislation which would allow for the purchase of unlicensed homeopathic medicines by mail order /internet or phone rather than enforcing their purchase face to face?Comment Tags: freedom of choice for homeopathy and natural medicine
I work as a homeopath and I am worried that this legislation will restrict the freedom of access to homeopathy & homeopathic remedies for the public. To remove choice from the public in this way when there is no evidence that homeopathic remedies are dangerous (in fact they are both safe & effective) would be a very short sighted move. An introduction of a clause making homeopathic remedies exempt would safeguard this important freedom of choice and ensure that an effective and safe treatment; that works well alongside conventional medicine would provide the . possibility of 'integrated' medicine to become the norm for all practitioners and patients. Homeopathic remedies should not be required to 're-authorise' their products as they have been previously covered by existing legislation and there has been no alteration to their method of manufacture or their action, as is the case with the other medicines covered by this legislation. Last year Government debated on Homeopathy and it is still included under the umbrella of the NHS, as such it is vital that legislation should protect the remedies this treatment uses not remove or restrict them in anyway. Advice on labels to consult a qualified homeopath prior to taking the remedy could become a statutory requirement. Consultation between Government & Homeopaths (via their lead body representatives) could result in dissemination of information available to those of the public who choose to use this treatment via affordable courses (free via vouchers for those in receipt of benefits) ensuring that informed usage would negate the need for labelling with indications.Comment Tags: effective, homeopathy, medicine, safe
The proposed legislation of the sale of homoeopathic remedies is founded upon the notion that remedies can be harmful. This is totally antithetical to the whole foundation of homoeopathy and a call for a blanket piece of legislation is typical of a hypothetical application for 'all medicines'.
I work as a homeopath with people with enduring mental illness who have been subjected to huge doses of pharmaceutical medications over many years. All the people I work with want to be on less medication as they find each drug causes the next diagnosis they get from the psychiatrist. When they begin to use remedies to manage their mental and emotional and physical symptoms they find the drugs they are on become less and less necessary. Homeopathic remedies need to be MORE available. They are safe and yet hugely potent – and cost next to nothing.
This legislation regarding homeopathy is unnecessary. Regulation for dangerous drugs may help safeguard the public but homeopathic remedies are safe. It should continue to be available as before. In the past it was only available to the wealthy. Everyone should continue to have access to it. No-one is suggesting that everyone must use homeopathy but it should be easily accessible to all those who would choose to use it. I would be hugely disappointed if this government were to curb my freedom to access homeopathy.Comment Tags: freedom to choose homeopathy

The thing is, when you ask them a direct question (the pro gun people) they ignore it completely and continue on with their own tirade. I just get the feeling that they aren't interested in solving the problem, that they would rather have their right to guns over other peoples rights to life. It was very interesting to read the criteria for gun ownership here. It actually makes me feel far more secure than owning a gun itself.
I tip my hat to your calm and intelligent manner in the gun control thread. You're the voice of reason in there.
Had no idea what a kewpie doll was. Wasnt sure if that was a good thing. I looked it up. Helluva reference there stype. Early 1900s.

But this summer I have been using a spoon to eat a lot of meals in order to relish the mixed flavors and scoop up the juice of each dish.
Tonight I sauteed some tomatoes, shrimp and basil in salt and olive oil (no leftovers!) and it created a sweet and savory suace. A few weeks ago it was Chicken with Apple, Onion and Cider Sauce – thank you Food Network's "Great Easy Meals" cookbook. Using a spoon makes me eat slower and think about the different flavors I am putting in my mouth and truly enjoy the meal I created instead of just piling food on a fork and shoveling it in my stomach.
A caveat to keep the French side of my family from getting upset – I love to use a fresh baguette to sop up the au jus as much (if not a thousand times more) than the next gal. But in addition to a love of food and wine they gave me my mother's thighs so baguette is a special occasion.

The Rochesters also rent land from Harry Foster for cotton planting.
"They have had a real good crop," said Foster. "I got up in the middle of the night the other night, looked out the window and it reminded me of snow.
"Everything was so white out there."
Foster noted how cotton farming has changed dramatically over the years.
"Going from a pick sack to what they've got now is unreal," said Foster.
Seth Rochester said his family has farmed in the area for more than 30 years. Rochester returned to the farm after working several years as a deputy for the Cherokee County Sheriff's Office. He said he couldn't be happier!
"I have been around farming all of my life, but this is my first year back in it full-time," said Rochester. "I heard my older brother Shannon make the comment earlier today that this is one of the best cotton crops he has ever harvested. We just thank the Good Lord for that."
"Everything is going well and I have talked to some of the other local farmers and everybody is having a good cotton crop," said Rochester.
"We hit a patch there, but it seems to have worked out fine," he noted. "We had a dry spell earlier in the summer. When we first got everything planted, then we hit a real rainy spell. It was almost too much rain, we had some to start rotting. It shut off raining just in time, everything matured out and so far, like I said, the cotton so far is good."
Rochester said they worked a total of some 4,700 acres of cotton this season.
"We had 180 acres of soybeans and my dad just finished picking them today," said Rochester. "They turned out really well and then we probably had 500 or 600 acres of corn that we had. It turned out fair but corn took a hurting from the dry spell. It could have been better but we are thankful for what we got."
One concern Rochester and other cotton farmers have are the prices, noting that they are currently around 70 to 72 cents per pound.
"That is one thing that is really hurting us and one thing that has really got us scared is they've got it projected next year to go down to 50 cents a pound," said Rochester. "Last year we were getting around $1 a pound and next year they are saying 50 cents."
Rochester said their day begins around 7 a.m.
"If it is a windy day, we work sometimes until 9, 10 11 o'clock if not longer trying to get it out," said Rochester. "On average, we work 12 or 13-hour days."
"I haven't had an off day in about a month," said Rochester. "If it rains, we have a full day of equipment servicing to do."
But still, Rochester, his brothers, Chad and Shannon and his father, Herman, are grateful for their crops and their farm.
"We thank the Good Lord that He has blessed us with one and me and my dad and my brothers work as a team on this, put in a lot of work on it and we thank the Good Lord for us and all of the other farmers in Cherokee County," said Rochester. "He has blessed us with a good crop."

Richard Cohen: Lessons for kids from a long campaign
As (something) of a public service, I now offer my Children's Guide to the 2012 Elections — or lessons young people can learn from American politics. I offer this in the spirit of bipartisanship for which I am noted and with absolute faith that — eight years of George W. Bush notwithstanding — the people are never wrong.
Okay, kiddies, here are the lessons:
Never Give Up. The person who best exemplifies this is Todd Akin, the senatorial candidate in Missouri who enriched the English language with the phrase "legitimate rape." When such a thing happens to some unfortunate women, he claimed, conception is impossible. But should the rape be illegitimate, that is a different story entirely and either a boy or a girl might be born. For some reason, Akin's fellow Republicans demanded he quit the race, but he steadfastly refused. Like a mule, he would not budge. (Lance Armstrong also could be cited in this category, but he is not a politician .Ÿ.Ÿ. yet.)
Say You Have a Plan. Richard Nixon did this in 1968 when he said he had a secret plan to end the Vietnam War. He did, and the war ended only seven years later — just as he presumably planned. This year, boys and girls, Mitt Romney said he has a plan to revive the economy, balance the budget and, I think, get rid of acne. His plan is a secret. You, too, can have secret plans — like how to get into college or straighten up your room. Try this out on your mom to see if she is as gullible as the American people. Let me know.
Remember, No One's Crazy Anymore. The clear winner in this category is the Senate candidate from Connecticut, Linda McMahon. In two tries, she has spent about $100 million of her own money to reach the Senate. To spend $100 million for your own proclaimed greatness ought to be in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual as a mental disease. Try something similar with your mom and dad or with your teachers. Say you're great. Repeat it over again. Also say you have a jobs plan. Let me know if it works.
It Doesn't Matter What You Believe as Long as You Believe Something. Say small government is best. Is this true? It doesn't matter. You believe it. Say state government is better than the federal government. Is this true? Not in New York or California or Illinois or Texas, but everyone believes it anyway. Kiddies, you have to say these things with conviction, strongly, emphatically. In your own life, pick something that's stupid and cling to it. It will work.
Only a Hypocrite Denounces Hypocrisy. Listen up, children. Just because you once said you believed something doesn't mean you have to still believe it. Google "Romney on abortion" or "Obama on the health care mandate." First, say you never said it and then, if you have to, say you changed your mind. Quote Emerson: "A foolish consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds." No one remembers what you said, anyway. Take it from me, the Hypocrisy Imperative is stronger than the sex drive — and with conservatives, often linked.
Silence Is Golden. Once again, we have to turn to Romney. He refused to make public the bulk of his tax returns, and while he was criticized for a lack of candor, he was not criticized for what is on those returns. (More horses?) This is similar to having a secret plan but a bit different. If you want to know how, I can't tell you. (See, it works.)
Lying Works. Notice, kids, I did not say that lying is right, just that it works. Stand before a mirror and practice. Say the lie over and over again. Have a friend call you a liar. Practice not blushing or blinking. Make up facts. Finally, turn away from the other guy dismissively. Make him look small and petty.
Never Challenge a Myth. For instance, every Republican cites Ronald Reagan as a great president. Reagan never asked anyone to sacrifice anything and had contempt for conservation. Republicans now preach sacrifice, a balanced budget and the greatness of Reagan. Remember, a nice smile is better than good math any day. Continued...
The Bogeyman Is Real. See how the candidates used China or Russia or the undeserving rich to their own benefit. You can do the same thing in your own lives. Choose a sibling for this — or maybe a teacher. Everyone fears something. Find out what it is, exaggerate and repeat. If you don't think this works, study the war in Iraq.

Congress established the National Wilderness Preservation System to ensure that an increasing population, expanding settlement and growing mechanization would not occupy and modify all areas of the United States.
The Wilderness Act of 1964 defines wilderness character and specifies the uses of Wilderness and the activities allowed or prohibited within its boundaries. In general, wilderness areas offer a contrast with lands where human activities dominate the landscape.
Only Congress, with presidential approval, may designate lands as Wilderness. Section 603 of the Federal Land Policy and Management Act (FLPMA) makes the BLM a full partner in the National Wilderness Preservation System, along with the other Federal resource management agencies.
Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009
The Omnibus Public Lands Management Act of 2009 (P.L. 111-11) designated 517,000 acres of public lands in Owyhee County in southwestern Idaho as Wilderness in Title I - Subtitle F of the Act. The Act also releases 199,000 acres of Wilderness Study Areas to multiple use, designates 318 miles of waterways under the Wild and Scenic Rivers Act, provides for protection of cultural resources particularly important to the Shoshone-Paiute Tribes, and maintains access for hunting and other recreational activities.
The BLM is currently preparing a management plan (WMP) for these wilderness areas and the Wild & Scenic River segments also designated in the Act. A separate travel management plan in being developed for routes in Owyhee County outside of designated Wilderness. A proposed land exchange involving BLM lands and ldaho State lands is also currently under consideration.

Can anyone point me in the direction of a good PC WWII wargame? My needs are simple :
Company/battle group level combat;
I don't want to have to micromanage lots of individuals, just work with units/sub-units;
realistic scenarios are preferred, i.e. not just capturing towns, but being able to win against the AI by destroying their combat power;
I'm not bothered about where or when in the war the game takes place.
Thanks for any tips!

The St. Louis is turned away by Cuba, the U.S.
and other countries.
On May 13, 1939 a German trans-Atlantic liner, the St. Louis, sailed from Hamburg, Germany for Havana, Cuba. Almost all 937 passengers were Jews trying to flee Germany after
'Kristallnacht ' (Night of broken glass).
Cuba followed by the United States, denied this refugee vessel entry. The St. Louis was forced to return to Europe on June 6, 1939. The Voyage of the St. Louis illustrated the situation of German-Jewish refugees: they were persecuted at home and unwanted abroad.
Finally the ship was able to dock in Antwerp, Belgium and the governments of Belgium, the Netherlands, France and the UK agreed to accept the refugees.
By 1940, all of the passengers, except those who escaped to England, found themselves once again under Nazi rule and most of them perished.

Cows in the Falls? Farmer Enlightens City Council on Agricultural Districts
A Northampton farmer got the OK from council to re-enroll in an agricultural district, which would protect him from nuisance lawsuits
Council members got a lesson in agricultural districts and the process of keeping them in tact at their meeting Monday night. One Cuyahoga Falls man with a farm in the 600 block of West Steels Corners Road had applied to the county, then to the city, to place his property into an agricultural district. Resident Daniel Michael Lynch, who has applied and was granted the designation before, said Summit County officials asked him to get the approval of Cuyahoga Falls City Council. Approval is needed every five years. "I brought the copy down here and nobody knew what to do with it," Lynch said at Monday night's meeting inside the Natatorium's Erie-Cuyahoga Room. "It's not a tax break; this is something that kind of protects me from unwanted …

When you become a TAXI member you can submit your music to these opportunities. Our experts will carefully listen to, and pre-screen each song. The best and most appropriate are forwarded to the Record Label, Music Publisher, or Music Supervisor that requested the material. This is how our members get deals! These listings are updated on the 1st and 15th of every month, so check back often. Click here to have free updates of these listings emailed to you.
Dear Passengers, When you strive to make your music perfect, you set yourself up for failure. As a kid in elementary school, I learned that Japanese artists would intentionally add an imperfection to their work to show that they were only human and incapable of achieving perfection. Trying to achieve perfection in writing one song or producing one recording is a recipe for an unhappy ending. Singer/Songwriter Tim Myers has become fabulously successful. You hear his songs (notice I didn't say, "jingles") in TV commercials and TV shows every day of your life. You hear the Chase credit card commercial song several times a day, "Keep on keeping on..." That's Tim's work, and it's likely that he makes a really nice living doing it. He lives a great life. He works from home. He spends lots of quality time with his young family, and he seems to be a very happy and fulfilled person. How does he do it? "You have got to work so hard and write tons of song -- just a ridiculous amount of songs. Write 80 songs a year, and record all of them completely, and send them off to people, and meet new people, and really get out there and make it happen. You know, if you're relying on just 20 or 30 songs a year — fully recorded songs that you can show to people — it's not going to happen." My guess is that Tim focuses on progress, not perfection. 80 songs a year is about 1.5 a week. That's progress! If Tim got hung up on trying to make any one of his songs perfect, he'd probably fail to complete most of his other songs. Will they all be great? Of course not! But some of them will be, and those are the songs that drive his success. The more songs you write, the better they will become. The more you record, the better your recordings will become. Best-selling author Malcolm Gladwell's book, Outliers makes the central point that to become expert at anything, you need to spend 10,000 hours doing it. The cool thing about songs is that it's not an either/or situation. You don't have to write songs for 10,000 hours to get your first good one. You'll write many great songs along the way if you focus on progress and don't let the lack of perfection stop you dead in your tracks. No pun intended ;-) The easiest way to become successful in the music business is to just follow the advice Nike used in their ads for years, Just Do It! Talk to you soon, Michael

Submission Policies
Place the submission form face-down with the top pointing away from you. Place the lyric sheets, envelopes, etc. on top of it in the same fashion. Place the cassette near the bottom of the sheets, and roll it all up from bottom to top. The end result will give you a tape burrito that will be 8 1/2 inches wide, and have the girth of a cassette. The submission form will end up on the outside, and your name and the listing number will be readily visible for our data entry people. No folding of anything! Please tuck your checks in the rubber bands so they are easily found without unraveling the whole enchilada.
If you have material you would like critiqued without responding to a specific listing, you've come to the right place. Fill out the submission form with the song title(s) and author(s) as usual, but in place of the listing number write "CUSTOM" in capital letters. Please include a note specifying the aspects you would like the listener to address. For example, some members like to have their craft (lyrics, rhyme, structure, etc.) closely critiqued. Others want to know for which genre their writing is best suited (sorry, but we can't recommend specific listings for you to pitch to). Still others want a review of their photos, bios, package, etc. The submission fee is $20 per song. Please include a self-addressed, stamped envelope, and make sure to specify if you want the tape (or CD) back, or just a critique. Remember, these critiques are for your own edification and development and NOT targeted for a label or publisher, and therefore will not be forwarded.

Zen Cart does not handle this well right now. For instance, a ® symbol in a file in html_includes will yield this error when the defines pages editor is used from admin:
[09-Aug-2012 00:35:33 UTC] PHP Warning: htmlspecialchars(): Invalid multibyte sequence in argument in /var/www/html/mysite/myadmin/define_pages_editor.php on line 188
... and the define page is blank in admin (since the default behavior of htmlspecialchars is to return nothing in the event of an error.)
This can be resolved by using ENT_IGNORE in the htmlspecialchars call in admin/define_pages_editor.php line 194.
Of course, there are a number of htmlspecialchars calls ... and unfortunately a lot of the cart's descriptions contain the registered trademark symbol.
Any other suggestions?

Don't forget, black women carry the egg and WE carry the child. There is another side the equation.
Potent? LOLOLOL!!!
Bu-bu-bu- But, I thought black men didn't like beauties such as this!!
Don't get "cocky" on here.
I think however, black "men" can learn alot from white *gentle*men.
Moorena - said...
Sad indeed, to see how Andreas,a Swede, can show and teach a black man to appreciate the beauty of black women.Sad.
- Orchid said...
wow she's gorgeous! Kodua sounds like a Ghanaian name! Can't wait to get my hair big and healthy like that. thank you Andreas :-)
- said...
OMG! I love this picture!!!!
- said...
I am no where near having her hair length, but I can buy hair like that. Thanks Andreas
SIMONE - said...
To the great and Potent black man. How about being great about taking care of those beauties you make?Don't just take credit for creating something beautiful Weanie
- said...
I knew all u bigots would get all riled up to see the great black man taking credit for his beautiful creation. Every time this white guy puts up a black woman's image, he's honoring the great black man. You should purge yourselves of your feminist man-hating psyche and shower your creator with honor and blessings.
Black man everywhere are taking care of their own and receive few credits. Even when absent from the home, cause they have to migrate to find employment they're sending remittances back home. Both black men and women are migrating and splitting up the family just to make ends meet. But any woman soaked with feminist venom will never speak positive of anything male. The pop culture of the modern black woman is to bash black men. - said...
White bwoy I see you've totally immersed yourself into Jamaican culture, according to the links on your facebook page. Be careful. If you start sounding too much like a Jamaican black man, these black women heaping praise on you, will soon dismiss you for being a black man in a white skin. lol. Remember, they DON'T LIKE BLACK MEN. lol.
- said...
So much anger and bitterness.
- said...
Remember people, continue to support this blog with positivity :)
- Ford Manuel said...
But who says black women don't like 'love' black men? That's not true! Real black women (cultured ones) love real black men (cultured ones too!). I've seen that happen to me million times -black girl loving black guy no matter what and how a white guy presents himself!!! Truely, Black is beauty!
- said...
Ford, i'm not talking about all the black women in the universe. Just the ones who come here. Read into their utterances. The white bwoy uploaded a pic of a black woman, that also had a black man in it. One of them fired off asking "Why show a black man?" She was so upset. Whether you like it or not, the black women who've bought into the interracial relationship lifestyle can't stand the sight of a black man. They just want to see you show up to begin spitting venom at you. White boy should get married to one of them then invite his black male friends over every weekend to play xbox and drink beer. lol. The woman would go out of her mind, to see all these black guys in her midst. You better believe it. Afghan women have more love for the oppressive Taliban men, than these interracial-minded black women have for black men. Reality check!
- said...
"Sad indeed, to see how Andreas,a Swede, can show and teach a black man to appreciate the beauty of black women.Sad."
Yea, it's sad indeed when the black woman can never credit the black man for all the love he showed the black woman. Since you only believe in the white man ask white bwoy to go find some of those reggae music he has stockpiled to play you some of them that praised black women. Ask him for:
"Black Woman and Child" by Sizzla,
"No Woman No Cry" by Bob Marley,
"Ebony Eyes" by Richie Stephens
"She's Royal" by Tarrus Riley
"Brown Skin" by Richie Spice
and on and on.. It's sad indeed isn't it? Oh, I wonder how did the white man become so infatuated with the black woman's image? Was it by listening to all these songs sung by black men in honor of their black women? lol. Yea, you can't discredit us. Hate monger. - said...
This anon is no on other than Laurleton fagget ass queens. You are not a great black man. You are a great asshole.
- said...
Andreas is not honoring black men by honoring black women.
So I guess white women are honoring black women by their continuous *use* of you?
If black men were doing their JOB then black men wouldn't get such a bad rap.
Black Love and Black Nationalism is dead. Period.
Burned Up!!
MEN are supposed to be the back bone not black women but black men continue to LACK when it comes to education and they kill themselves.
Those black women who come here choose to excercise our choices, JUST LIKE those black men who choose to exercise THEIR choices. (Scream at them)
Mister black man, why don't you go talk that strong talk to those "bruths's who won't do jack or always put blame on women(like whining 2 year olds who can't do anything for themselves--which is true because you lack accountability).
You are wasting your time here.
All strong black women black panthers types can follow, while they get their white wives and leave you in the wind---has happened before and will continue.
Moorena - said...
OMG, why cant BW be left in peace?It seems like every time someone appreciates our beauty like Andreas here, someone else just has to butt in!And as for Ford Manuel who said "real cultured BW love BM"- please!I'm a black cultured African woman who has never been attracted to black men, i dont hate them, but they dont really do much for me.
Andreas- keep up with the good work.I love this blog :) - said...
thank you anon 2:49 a.m.
I'm a black cultured African woman who has never been attracted to black men, i dont hate them, but they dont really do much for me.
I know who I am also, more than many of your average black "man".
But like anon stated, I simply am not attracted to black boys who complain about the world with a chip on their shoulder, the worst whiners there can be.
Moorena - said...
i think to pay homage to michael. janet should be beauty of the moment...lol jk
- said...
Just remember that this blog is not about the " BM" but about the beatiful black woman.
And yeah my dad is black and I love him very much. He always been there for me. He supports me in everything.
But I'm attracted to white guys like Andreas. And he knows that and is cool with it.
My dad wants me to be with a man that treats me right no matter the race. I'm from the Caribbean and we don't have that much issues with interracial dating.

Live and let live and mind your own business. We live in a big wide world.Black women and white men loving each other is none of your business.
My husband is white and my brothers and relatives come over and we entertain them.
My relatives especially my father love my husband.
Why are you upset that a white man appreciates and loves black women?
If you really love black women, you should be able to understand Andreas.
Now, go on over to those black men who hate black women and educate them ; please tell them about the reggae singers who have honored black women.
Anonymous June 27, 4:25 p.m.,
I guess you will also have to admit that everytime black men show appreciation for white women, they are honoring the great white man.
Anonymous June 27, 4:38,
Andreas is no Jamaican black man. Stop being foolish.
Ford Manuel:There are many real cultured black women who love white men. I am one.
In honor of Andreas, I do not plan to adress any of the haters who come here to spill their venom.
Andreas: You need to start deleting the comments of those fools who come here to argue.
This blog is created with pure love and strife, hatred and confusion should not be a part of it. - said...
"This blog is created with pure love and strife, hatred and confusion should not be a part of it."
That's why the bigoted black man bashers should be deleted allow the great black men to give praise to their beautiful african sisters. - said...
You'd do your sister? Eww.
- said...
"Only a black man could make such beauty. Remember to give thanks to the great and potent black man."
lmao!!! "the potent black man..." LMBAO!!! stop trippin... - Carib.girl said...
Beautiful Ladies and distinguished Gentlemen (not referring to the ignoramuses), We do not need to focus on these creatures, who call themselves men. The more you converse with them; the longer they stay, and spew more venom on this wonderful blog.
I've also noticed, that every time there is a blog dedicated to the beauty of black women, a foolish black man goes on it to preach hate. Don't these men see, that there is no difference between them and the KKK. They might as well join the Klan. Now, black men have been bashing/degrading black women for years in order to justify their reasons for dating/marrying white women. Some of these men, that come on here spewing hate are the same ones with a white/non-black woman sitting at home. Sad...their ignorance is just sad.
"Andreas: You need to start deleting the comments of those fools who come here to argue.
This blog is created with pure love and strife, hatred and confusion should not be a part of it."
I second that notion Ashley.
While these men are having anxiety attacks, and are holding on to so much animosity; I will be loving the one I'm with, increasing my knowledge (college), traveling, helping others in any way I can and enjoying my life. I refuse to spend my lifetime lurking in the shadows, and waiting to drag someone down to a depressive state.
Like I said, there is no difference between the ignorant men on here and the KKK. If they took a good look at themselves, they could see the similarities, but they are to preoccupied with spreading hate.
[sarcastic statement] Keep doing what you do guys. Be proud of being labeled "THE NEW KKK".
Everyone, let this be the last time you engage these subhumans in a conversation. A human and an ass can not communicate. Asses need to converse with Asses.
p.s. I agree with Moorena, these guys could learn a lot from men like Andreas. - said...
Andreas, keep showing them black love videos. Maybe that would help to erase all the hatred the black woman have for the great and awesome black man. Some of them are suffering from psychological problems. Be patient with them. Slavery is a hell of a thing. It's minds like these that got us sold in the first place. But in time, these women will learn to love themselves and the seed from which they sprung. It's gonna take decades of rewiring to fix them. Lose not faith. Remember Solomon and Sheba.
- said...
Carib.girl you don't like the black man Richie Spice, singing praise to your Brown Skin? Check the video.
- said...
Andreas, it look like you opened a can of worms with this blog? You didn't know the black woman was harboring all this deep-seated hatred for the sons from her own womb, did you? How shocking and shameful.
- said...
Hahah, you're such a small, petty person of hate and bitterness.
I can see why black women are glad they no longer need to be associated with you: So much self-pity and arrogance, mixed together into a vile frame of mind that only feels good when it is making others feel worse. You'd have to be insane to want to get involved on the emotional level with people like that.
Your worst fears are now coming true: Black women are free. The black women that come after them will be even more so. Your age of manipulation and control is over. Accept it, and go quietly into the night. - said...
I cannot go quietly in the night. I'm attached to the umbilical cord in your womb. We're still one. As much as you hate your own unborn offspring. Purge the feminism from your mind and erase bigotry from your heart, so that you may return to the loving embrace of the great Solomon.
- said...
Not my womb, dear.
You are not my father. You're not my uncle. You are not my little male cousin, whom I love dearly. You're not one of my friends. We probably don't even live in the same country or share cultural values. Why should I feel some deep connection with you just because a social construct I had no hand in creating puts us in the same group? Thanks, but no thanks. - said...
A social construct? My, my. How easy it is for women to be brainwashed by the feminist nonsense. Gender is a social construct thrown out the window by your feminazi teachers. They say there's no such thing as male and female. We're one and the same. And human sexuality is fluid. Heterosexuality is no more normal than homosexuality. If your husband is bored with having sex with you and wants to have sex with your brother, you should not be offended, it is normal! And if you desire some sex with your husband's ex-wife, feel free to indulge yourself. Sex is fluid and interchangeable. Let no stupid social construct contain you. Likewise, there is no such thing as race, or ethnicity. We're all one. This what you "enlightened" and "liberated" so-called educated women do with your knowledge. Pollute the minds of the young with your poison to rebel against all things. Good and evil are also social construct. And so is God and the Devil. Get rid of all these things and you're truly liberated. Freedom like never before. You can call yourself a man today and woman tomorrow. Your are black today and white tomorrow. You are free! LMAO.
- said...
What on earth are you going on about?
The funny thing is, I'm not even a feminist, or liberal. I'm a conservative Christian and hold none of those beliefs save for that we are all one race - human - which is biblically supported. Ethnicity is not the same thing as race. That entire rant is worthless. I hope you had fun typing it.
Please stop making normal, sane black men look bad. People like you are where stereotypes come from. - said...
What a beauty. A total rockin' name too.
- Carib.girl said...
I will not even bother responding to bigots. This is what lack of knowledge does to you. I'm pretty sure these same men aren't on a "black men love white women" blog preaching hate.
Anyway, Andreas she is beautiful. Keep up the AWESOME work. You are such a cutie :) - said...
Carib.girl, show us the "black man love white woman blog", so we may go over there hand-in-hand to uncover this wrongdoing.
- said...
" hand-in-hand" LMBAO
u definitely u are under influence of strong drugs. poor thang - said...
1. Here's one for starters:
"Black Women Suck" http://blackwomensuck.blogspot.com/
Why you so called "Black men" go over there and school them on loving their Black females instead of sullying Andreas' wonderful blog.
2. Considering how American MSM downplays and, in many cases, flat out ignores the beauty of Black females, you should be happy that there is a blog dedicated to showing this. Eh, but what can we expect self-hating fools such as yourself?
3. Seriously? Crediting the creation of such beautiful Black females solely to Black men? GTFOH! Females period put more into the creation of a child than males. It is US that produce the egg; US the conceive the child; US the gestate for nine months; US that birth the child from our womb into the world; and US that breastfeed these new beings. What is it exactly that men do in this process to create this child other than ejaculate? How arrogant of you to assume that you are the only or the primary cause of the creation of children? - said...
Andreas, you have indeed been graced by the troll presence of Mr. Laurelton of Queens fame. Most of the black female empowerment blogs and IR blogs have had to ban him and/or delete his emails from their blogs. Otherwise he comes in and tries to hijack/take over the blog discussion. You may want to start deleting him also. He is truly a cancer to black women and all those who love them. Please don't let him spread his cancer on your blog. What you're doing is too beautiful to be destroyed by the likes of him. Keep blogging.

Small Business Teaming Pilot Program
On Sept. 27, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Small Business Jobs Act (SBJA), the most significant piece of small business legislation in over a decade. The new law is providing critical resources to help small businesses continue to drive economic recovery and create jobs. The new law extended the successful Small Business Administration (SBA)-enhanced loan provisions while offering billions more in lending support, tax cuts, and other opportunities for entrepreneurs and small business owners.
The SBJA includes an array of provisions aimed at helping small businesses gain access to capital, compete for federal contracting opportunities, expand exporting opportunities and obtain other assistance to help them grow and create jobs.
Awarded funds may be used toward small business (SB) training, counseling, and/or mentoring activities designed to enhance SBs' ability to compete for larger procurements.
Grantees are expected to help small businesses find other firms interested in teaming, assist SBs with the formation and execution of teaming arrangements, aid teams of SBs in identifying appropriate larger contracting opportunities, and assist teams of SBs with the preparation and submission of bids and offers.
Grantees will leverage their existing resources and collaborate with SBA District Offices, resource partners, and other federal, state, local and tribal government small business development programs.
SBA Involvement and Oversight
This pilot program is managed by SBA's Office of Government Contracting. A SBA employee from a District Office located within the Grantee's service area will serve as the primary point of contact and liaison to SBA resources. A designated Grants Officer Technical Representative (GOTR) at SBA Headquarters is responsible for overall monitoring and oversight of the grantee including, but not limited to, compliance with the terms of the Cooperative Agreement.
On September 23rd, 2011, SBA announced the awardees of the SBTPP grants. Eleven grantees were selected from hundreds of applications submitted. Grantees were awarded between $200,000 and $500,000 in funding, for a total of approximately $5 million in Fiscal Year 2011.

Smart Woman: New Theory of Autism Development
By: Maxine Ridling
Updated: November 12, 2012
The large Danish study looked at nearly 97,000 children born between 1997 and 2003.
Their mothers were screened to see if they had any infections, used antibiotics or had long periods of fever during their pregnancies.
Researchers found no association between Autism and minor infections, such as respiratory ailments, or urinary and genital infections.
But when it came to Influenza during pregnancy, the risk of being diagnosed with an Autism spectrum disorder before the age of three was twice as high for those children, compared to toddlers whose mothers did not have the flu during their pregnancies.
And if the mothers had a fever lasting more than a week while carrying a baby, that child had a three times greater risk of developing Autism than other children.
Researchers also found mothers who took antibiotics during their pregnancy had a small risk of having children with Autism.
Investigators say there may be statistical shortcomings in their data, and more research needs to be done to better understand the connection.
