ARKANSAS ATTORNEY GENERAL ATTEMPTS
TO CLOSE DOWN HERBAL HEALER WITH INJUNCTION

Just recently, Arkansas Attorney Generals office issued a very
surprising petition for Injunction against all defendants in
this lawsuit. Court date on this is next Wednesday April 30th.
They are asking the judge to close us down, because we represent
an immediate threat and in their words  "Marijah McCain and
Herbal Healer Academy commonly and frequently suggests,
recommend, prescribe and administer certain forms of healing for
the intended relief, or cure of certain physical ailments in
violation of the ARK. CODE ANN. 17-95-402, et seq." (This is
the medical doctor laws, which we should not even fall under,
especially if we have agreed to remove the term doctor as you
will see below.) They go on to say, "Marijah McCain and the
Herbal Healer Academy represent a substantial danger to the
health, welfare, and safety of the public and irreparable harm
will occur if these defendants are not immediately enjoined from
these complained activities."  The injunction to close the
company down is so outrageous.  Again, they have no customer
complaints or evidence that HHA or Marijah McCain has harmed
or injured anyone. The fact is no one has ever been harmed by
HHA or Marijah McCain since 1988 when we started.  Not only
that, thousands of people depend on this type of quality advice
from a skilled alternative practitioner.

Our lawyers have been working with the AG's office to come up
with a reasonable out of court settlement, but so far it has not
happened.  So far the Arkansas Attorney General has asked for
the removal of the term doctor on everything, which we had
agreed to. They have demanded a large cash donation to the
Consumer Education Fund, that all our catalogs be reprinted and
Internet site be changed, and they have also stated in their out
of court settlement quote, "That McCain and HHA shall not
suggest, recommend, prescribe, or administer treatment, or
healing for the intended relief, or cure of physical diseases,
ailments, injuries, or conditions."

I simply can not agree to that, because that is what I do as a
Naturopath.  I do suggest and recommend natural health care
supplements.  I have been trained in many modalities of
alternative healing and I have the documentation to back it up.
Folks, if I sign this,  I would be putting myself out of
business, as there would be no catalog, no newsletters, no
Internet information for you to read.  I need your help.  I
need you to write, call and FAX as many of these people as you
can and tell them that the charges should be dropped against us
and we should be allowed to continue on with our business,
especially since we are willing to comply with the removal of
the term doctor.

We have even been getting harassing phone calls from people
trying to scare us.  One came in today saying that next week
they were going to start issuing warrants for arrests and that
the ANMA was being closed down (which is a blatant lie)  Folks,
we are being unfairly targeted, please help as best you can. We
also would appreciate your prayers for us, as the stress is
unreal and we are very upset.  Also, if you will,  feel free to
post this to your boards and send it to as many people you can.
