ASSOCIATION
eWater Health Emporium
(A Private Healthcare Membership
Association)
MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
I, _________________________________________, for membership fee paid in
hand, do hereby apply for membership in eWater Health Emporium, a private
membership organization. With the signing of this membership agreement I/we
accept the offer made to become a member of eWater Health Emporium and have read
and agree with the following Declaration of Purpose from Article I of eWater
Health Emporium's Articles of Association.
1. This Association of members
hereby declares that our main objective is to protect our rights to freedom of
choice regarding our health information and care, through maintaining our
Constitutional rights.
2. As members, we affirm our belief that the
Constitution of the United States is one of the best documents ever devised by
man and the signer of the Declaration of Independence did so out of love for
their country. We believe that the First Amendment of the Constitution of the
United States of America guarantees our members the rights of free speech,
petition, assembly, and the right to gather together for the lawful purpose of
advising and helping one another in asserting our rights under the Federal and
State Constitutions and Statutes. We strive to maintain and improve the civil
rights, constitutional guarantees, freedom of choice in health care and
political freedom of every member and citizen of the United States of America.
IT IS HEREBY Declared that we are exercising our right of "freedom of
association" as guaranteed by the 1st and 14th Amendments of the U.S.
Constitution and equivalent provisions of the various State Constitutions. This
means that our association activities are restricted to the private domain
only.
3. We declare the basic right of all our members to select
spokesmen from our number who could be expected to give wisest counsel and
advice concerning the need for physical and mental health care assistance and to
select from our number those members who are the most skilled to assist and
facilitate the actual performance and delivery of products, education, services
and care.
4. We proclaim the freedom to choose and perform for ourselves
the types of products, services and treatment methods and modalities that we
think best for treating and preventing illness and disease of our minds and
bodies and for achieving and maintaining optimum wellness. We proclaim and
reserve the right to include options that include but are not limited to cutting
edge treatment modalities and therapies practiced or used by any types of
healers or therapists or practitioners the world over whether traditional or
nontraditional, conventional or unconventional.
5. More specifically,
the mission of our Association is to provide members with the highest level of
quality education, products, services and care and the most effective methods of
these products and modalities. We treat members and their health condition, and
not merely the symptoms experienced. Our Association understands that wellness
has many dimensions and strives every day to stay on the leading edge of new
products and technology. The Association provides the most advanced products and
technologies for assisting all aspects of a member's condition and/or health and
provides the most effective means at an affordable fee. More specifically, the
Association specializes in products and services related to foundational health
support in water, air, energy and nutrition including live seminars and
demonstrations in the sell and marketing of products and health support systems,
energies, appliances and all foundational health support on the wholesale and
retail markets and offers these products and instruments to these markets as
alternates for service and benefits to members.
6. The Association will
recognize any person (irrespective of race, color, or religion) who is in
accordance with these principles and policies as a member, and will provide a
medium through which its individual members may associate for actuating and
bringing to fruition the purposes heretofore declared.
MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING
I understand that the fellow members of the Association
that provide products, services and care, do so in the capacity of a fellow
member and not in the capacity as a licensed health care provider. I further
understand that within the association no doctor-patient relationship exists but
only a contract member-member Association relationship. In addition, I have
freely chosen to change my legal status as a public customer or client to a
private member of the Association. I further understand that it is entirely my
own responsibility to consider the advice and recommendations offered to me by
my fellow members and to educate myself as to the efficacy, risks, and
desirability of same and the acceptance of the offered or recommended therapy,
treatment and care is my own carefully considered decision. Any request by me to
a fellow member to assist me or provide me with the aforementioned therapy,
treatment and care is my own free decision in an exercise of my rights and made
by me for my benefit, and I agree to hold the Trustee(s), staff and other worker
members and the Association harmless from any unintentional liability for the
results of such care, except for harm that results from instances of a clear and
present danger of substantive evil as determined by the Association, as stated
and defined by the United States Supreme Court.
The Trustees and members
have chosen Fred Van Liew as the person best qualified to perform services to
members of the Association and entrust him to select other members to assist him
in carrying out those services.
In addition, I understand that since the
Association is protected by the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the U.S.
Constitution, it is outside the jurisdiction and authority of Federal and State
agencies and authorities concerning any and all complaints or grievances against
the Association, any Trustee(s), members or other staff persons. All rights of
complaints or grievances will be settled by an Association Committee and will be
waived by the member for the benefit of the Association and its members. Because
the privacy and security of membership records maintained within the Association
which have been held to be inviolate by the U.S. Supreme Court, the undersigned
member privacy rights and the complaint process. Any medical or healthcare
records kept by the association will be strictly protected and only released
upon written request of the member. I agree that violation of any waivers in
this membership contract will result in a no contest legal proceeding against
me.
I agree to join the Association, a private membership association
under common law, whose members seek to help each other achieve better health
and live longer with good quality of life.
I understand that the doctors,
nurses and other providers who are fellow members of the Association are
offering me advice, products, services and benefits that do not necessarily
conform to conventional medical or health care.
As a member, I accept
the goals of helping my body function better and choosing techniques that are
both very safe and have a reasonably good chance to succeed, realizing that no
diagnostic technique or treatment is foolproof. If I choose to forgo drugs,
surgery, or radiation that has been recommended to me by others, I fully accept
the risk that I might suffer serious consequences from that choice. Other
aspects of informed consent will take place in my discussions with the providers
and my fellow members of the Association.
My activities within the
Association are a private matter that I refuse to share with the State Medical
Board, the FDA, FTC, Medicare, Medicaid or my own insurance company without my
expressed specific permission. All records and documents remain as property of
the Association, even if I receive a copy of them. I fully agree not to file a
lawsuit against a fellow member of the Association, unless that member has
exposed me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil. I acknowledge that
the members of the Association do not carry liability or malpractice
insurance.
I enter into this agreement of my own free will or on behalf
of my dependent without any pressure or promise of cure. I affirm that I do not
represent any State or Federal agency whose purpose is to regulate and approve
products. I have read and understood this document, and my questions have been
answered fully to my satisfaction. I understand that I can withdraw from this
agreement and terminate my membership in this association at any time. These
pages and Article I of the Articles of Association of the Association consist of
the entire agreement for my membership in the Association and they supersede any
previous agreement.
I understand that the membership fee entitles me to
receive those benefits declared by the Trustee(s) to be "general benefits" free
of further charge. I agree to pay as levied those benefits that I receive that
are declared by the Trustees to be "special assessments", per Fee
Schedule.
I enclose the sum of $10.00 as consideration for my annual
membership contract, said term beginning with the date of the signing of this
contract, and by these presents do hereby certify, attest and warrant that I
have carefully read the above and foregoing eWater Health Emporium Contractual
Application for Membership and I fully understand and agree with
same.
