WHO fraud!!!

Over ten years ago I ordered a book published by the WHO, providing some conclusions related to the FAILED project "HFA2000" = "Health for All by the Year 2000".
The conclusion was / is, that modern western medicine simply CANNOT provide even halfway "sufficient" medical services for ALL of mankind.
For that the help of traditional medicine is required:
"Traditional Medicine and Health Care Coverage. a Reader for Health Administrators and Practitioners"; Bannerman Iarc,R. H. Bannerman

At the time I ordered the book, it was "out of print" and I thus ordered it as "print on demand"
AND paid upfront for it. (I cannot find the receipt right now, but I know I have it somewhere)

Since then I not onl DID NOT receive the book, which seems to be available as printed book again, but I never even got an update about the printing status.

Not considering the other activities of the WHO ... as long as the WHO as an organization engages in TRADE with merchandise / services (books, publications)
-> http://www.who.int/publications/en/ ... the one and only acceptable international rule applies:
The WHO provides products/services in exchange for the money paid by the customer.

I DID pay my money.
WHO never sent me the paid product or informed me of any changes in order status.

THAT ... is called FRAUD in ANY business ALL OVER the world.

Trying to "reach" the WHO seems impossible.
I tried to contact serveral offices, sent mails to several different addresses, tried to sent fax messages to number shown on the website ...
NOBODY, EVER even tried to answer.
Replies to mails are automated messages made by robots.
Fax machines NEVER respond.

Another characteristic of a scam organization.
You have all those fancy web sites, phone numbers etc., but they apparently are just a deceptive scheme.

I called the WHO Japan - a completely unrelated, independent organization.
They told me, that even they have no means of "getting in contact" with the WHO except for some occasional email.
The "WHO people" apparently talk ONLY to high government officials or people offereing billion dollar donations.

Please feel free to "spread the word" about the WHO.

WHO の詐欺

ＷＨＯが依頼した調査の結果を本として出版されたと「治療家マガジン」に書かせて頂いた。
その本自体は何の問題もなく、是非一読をお勧めしたい。

しかし・・・　それを１０数年程前（十分長い間待ったと思う）にＷＨＯが運営している「出版部」 = WHO Publications で頼みたかった。その当時あの本（原本）が絶版になっていたので、「必要に応じてを印刷する」　(=print on demand) として注文した。つまり、その時本はなかったが、十分な数注文があれば、再び又印刷するという事だった。
その形でも構わないから注文した。確かに前払いで本の代金も納めた。（領収書もまだどこかにあると確信しているが、今見つからない）

それなのに本を今まで貰わないだけではなく、出版の「予定/状態」に関する報告など一度も貰った事ない。最近ＷＨＯでその件に関して問い合わせをしようとしているが、どこに連絡取ろうとしてもどこのだれも返事しようとしない。

「世界の健康」に関して頑張っていることは大変立派ですが、WHO Publications は「商品」＝本を販売している商売。
商品の代金を貰って商品を出さない、その後幽霊サイトを運営して連絡が一切出来ない状態は世界中どの商売分野でも「詐欺」と定義されるはずだ。

ＷＨＯはこのような形で詐欺を行っていることを世界に知らせるべきと思う。

WHO Standard Terminology

The WHO has edited and published what it calls a "Standard Terminology" (sort of a dictionary) pertaining to oriental medicine:

"WHO International Standard Terminologies On Traditional Medicine in the Western Pacific Region"

That is just fine. AND all the listed editors are without question highly decorated academics. THEY are surely better educated and much more knowledgeable than I will ever be.
Nevertheless .. I cannot help but feel somewhat disappointed by this work - at least regarding some terms.

Example.
"1.6.84 瘀血    = STATIC blood      = a pathological product of blood stagnation, including extravasated blood and the blood circulating sluggishly or blood congested in a viscus, all of which may turn into  pathogenic  factor,  the  same  as  blood  stasis  or stagnant blood."

The rendering of what the Japanese pronounce "oketsu" as "static blood" is to my taste highly inappropriate. EVERY persons working in the medical field and MANY laymen know perfectly well what happens, when the blood STOPS (completely) to move = becomes "static" (static means NOT moving).
The tissues deprived of their blood supply will quickly develop functional disorders and not much later DIE!!! Typical example: myocardial infarct.

But ... THAT is NOT what is meant when people talk in oriental medicine about "oketsu"!
I myself are not an academic and definitely not qualified to argue with these editors and propose a more suitable term.
Yet, I think, these people SHOULD come up with something more appropriate and as it is, all those academic decorations have produced unsatisfatory results.
In particular when one considers what is being attempted here: facilitation of communication between completely different cultures and concepts.

I expect, I will make myself many new enemies with this statement ...
