Like many of my friends, there was once a time when I trusted the system; was ignorant about the actual lack of “evidence base”; and assumed that what I was told was right. Because of this naivety, I learned the hard way that the system can be wrong. Since then, I’ve done my best to keep myself out of this system, but when neded, I have never hesitated to confront the system in order to get the best for my family or friends, and protect them from the worst. I’ve only been able to do that, with a backbone honed from years of research into all sorts of diagnostic scenarios, so that I know what is supposedly gold standard treatments, what evidence (or lack of) that’s based on, and the flaws.

Welcome
Thanks for dropping in.
You've reached a website which could be considered to be a bit different...
... because living BEYOND CONFORMITY brings different perspectives on many lifestyle issues.
Who knows - you might be one of that rather uncommon breed of different people.
Welcome again ... whatever your thinking.
We would like you to really ...
EXPLORE this website. Poke around.
Press Buttons. Join dots. Read between the lines.
First impressions can be misleading.
Dare to go beyond where you've been before.
If you're looking for something specific with a medical flavour, then RESOURCES, or HILARY'S DESK might be just the places to start.
If you're looking for other places we think are worth knowing about, SITES OF INTEREST will be of interest.
If you want to see our DISCLAIMER, it's not your usual CYA statement. It galls us to have one, but hey, it seems that for many people, it's an essential facet of not thinking.
If you are looking for the unpredictable, .... wider-ranging topics to make you raise your eyebrows; scratch your head - maybe smile, or want to grab a rotten tomato as a missile - then OUT OF THE MOULD
is the parlour to head for.
So dig around!
Find facts you're not usually told about, that should be of vital concern to you. Use your computer and IT to uncover and expose. HILARY'S DESK and RESOURCES, and the Oceania FORUM, BEYOND VACCINATION, are there to help you.
Peter's "webs" are a little more basic - a good old-fashioned ones.
He has a "direct" line too. A telephone!!! Always ready to help in other related areas.
Go to it folks. Just maybe the different thought strands on Beyond Conformity will get you fired up.
Contact us, if you want to!
Go beyond where you were ....or are.
NOTE TO PEOPLE ORDERING BOOKS:
For whatever reason, whether email gets forwarded from the Gmail account to our default account, is a lottery. Given that the system is unreliable, I will try to keep an eye on orders from the website control panel, and double check them through gmail as well. If you haven't received your books within 3 weeks, please let us know, and I'll talk to those pesky bureaurats and see whassup.
Hilary.
