Position against scientific misconduct; position protecting those who reveal fraud/misconduct: ICHNFM seeks to communicate and rely on valid information, and therefore the organization cannot tolerate original publication or reiteration of false/inaccurate information. Questioning research validity is an integral part of science itself and is therefore duly protected. For additional perspectives, see the following essays in Nature: 

• The time is right to confront misconduct. Nature 01 August 2012 LINK

• Stop ignoring misconduct. Nature 31 August 2016 LINK

For examples of direct action by ICHNFM to protect the integrity of science and clinical practice, see the following examples from ICHNFM faculty:

Statement on organic foods, sustainable agriculture, the overuse of pesticides and genetically manipulated organisms (drafted and posted 2015 Jan): ICHNFM advocates organic foods and sustainable agriculture (in agreement with a United Nations report); ICHNFM opposes the overuse of toxic pesticides and the inappropriate use of (including the forced consumption of) genetically manipulated organisms/foodoid products. While all toxic chemicals are obvious causes of concern, glyphosate and atrazine warrant particular concern due to their widespread distribution, political misuse, genotoxic effects, mitochondriopathic effects, cyp450 inhibiting effects, and reproductive toxicity.

Statement on corporate and governmental responsibility to reduce the population's exposure to xenobiotics, metal and chemical toxins, and POPs--persistent organic pollutants (drafted and posted 2015 Jan): ICHNFM sees that xenobiotics/pollution/toxins released into the environment are directly contributing to the worldwide burden of disease. As such, all people/industries/corporations/governments should seek to reduce use and release of such chemicals; specifically, governments should use their appropriate authority and obligation to protect their citizens in this regard.

​

Statement of social responsibility and contextualization (drafted and posted 2014 Aug): ICHNFM requires that educational materials be socially contextualized with a humanistic emphasis; humanism is a philosophical and ethical stance that emphasizes the value and agency of human beings, individually and collectively, and requires critical thinking and evidence (rationalism, empiricism). In direct opposition to any notion that science and intellectual work are and should be separate from the goal of benefiting human life (ie, profiteering, or political misuse of science), we affirm that work in the sciences, healthcare, and medicine should hold preeminent the goal of providing benefit to humanity at large and not primarily for private or political interests, in particular what we have defined as the goals of healthcare: physical health and psychosocial freedom, both of which are required for the optimization of human potential and human culture. Likewise, faculty members and teaching staff are required to model and embody beneficence, nonmaleficence, ethics, and justice; repeated violations of these ethical considerations will result first in conversation and if not resolved will result in termination of any working relationship because ICHNFM will maintain its ethics and integrity and will not be tainted by affiliation with faculty or presenters who are socially reckless or maleficent, regardless of the scale or medium (ie, including private emails and public/social conversations and comments). ICHNFM will maintain the highest standards of science, clinical applicability, ethics, and social effect/influence/beneficence.

Statement on vaccine enforcement and dependence (drafted and posted 2015 Jan): Given that vaccines are neither universally safe nor completely effective, mandating their use is both unscientific and unethical. Recent data correlating vaccine mandates with increased mortality gives all healthcare providers and policymakers legitmate cause for concern and the obligation to act on that concern by implementing the precautionary principle. Until and unless these concerns are resolved, ICHNFM supports 1) the rights of patients/persons to make their own decisions about vaccinations and 2) the clinical and population-wide use of protocols to improve immunity via more safe and comprehensive means as discussed in the 2014 publication describing a comprehensive antiviral strategy:Unifying Antiviral Strategy published by ICHNFM (English and Spanish, PDF). To be clear, ICHNFM is not "anti-vaccine"; we simply and plainly support informed consent and patient autonomy (basic medical ethics), judicious patient-centered and patient-focused healthcare, and critical review of the research literature and case reports; overuse of and dependency upon vaccines and anti-viral drugs as the sole means to prevent and treat viral illnesses is unscientific, illogical, inequitable, and globally unaffordable. 
Sample sources supporting this position: 

• Unifying Antiviral Strategy published by ICHNFM (English and Spanish, PDF), AmazonKindle Vasquez

• Infant mortality rates regressed against number of vaccine doses routinely given. Hum Exp Toxicol. 2011 Sep. "Linear regression analysis of unweighted mean IMRs showed a high statistically significant correlation between increasing number of vaccine doses and increasing infant mortality rates." http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3170075/

• Major conflicts of interest in vaccine promotion and sales by major medical authorities  Most of the governmental organizations and medical groups supporting use of vaccines have received massive amounts of cash payments and industry infiltration. American Academy of Pediatrics—vaccine advocate $342,000 payment from Wyeth, maker of the pneumococcal vaccine - which makes $2 billion a year in sales. $433,000 contribution from Merck, the same year the academy endorsed Merck's HPV vaccine - which made $1.5 billion a year in sales ($1.5 Billion for a vaccine with no proven safey or effectiveness is absurd). Every Child by Two—vaccine advocate Dr. Paul Offit—vaccine advocate who has stated that babies can tolerate "10,000 vaccines at once"; this is obviously a ludicrous statement. www.cbsnews.com/news/how-independent-are-vaccine-defenders

Statement on medical ethics, research ethics, including implications for mandatory drug use, forced steriliztions, etc (drafted and posted 2015 Feb): While this statement is still in development, for the time being, ICHNFM endorses the Nuremberg Code as outlined here and extends these considerations from research to patient care and public health. The ten points of the Nuremberg Code are:

1. Required is the voluntary, well-informed, understanding consent of the human subject in a full legal capacity.

2. The experiment should aim at positive results for society that cannot be procured in some other way.

3. It should be based on previous knowledge (like, an expectation derived from animal experiments) that justifies the experiment.

4. The experiment should be set up in a way that avoids unnecessary physical and mental suffering and injuries.

5. It should not be conducted when there is any reason to believe that it implies a risk of death or disabling injury.

6. The risks of the experiment should be in proportion to (that is, not exceed) the expected humanitarian benefits.

7. Preparations and facilities must be provided that adequately protect the subjects against the experiment’s risks.

8. The staff who conduct or take part in the experiment must be fully trained and scientifically qualified.

9. The human subjects must be free to immediately quit the experiment at any point when they feel physically or mentally unable to go on.

10. Likewise, the medical staff must stop the experiment at any point when they observe that continuation would be dangerous.

 

Conditions/Terms of Use: Use of this website and any related courses or forums implies agreement with the conditions on this page. Terms of use: Any use of this website or ICHNFM's related forums and teaching/learning/working environments implies agreement to ICHNFM's Conditions for Use policies. Violation of any of these terms as judged solely by ICHNFM administration will be grounds for explusion/exclusion without any refund (if applicable).

Brief Summary:

• ICHNFM is committed to creating and maintaining a work and learning environment free from drama and unpleasantness.

• Among members/students/instructors/attendees, professional-level communication is expected per common courtesy and standards of etiquette/netiquette, per the examples detailed below.

Examples of norms and expectations for ICHNFM discussions, forums, and any working/learning environment:

• Appropriate use: Professional discussions related to the wide fields of healthcare, medicine, nutrition, and functional medicine. 

• Community monitoring and policing: We all share in the responsibility of keeping this forum professional, clean, useful, and enjoyable. Any inappropriate posts should be flagged and reported immediately within the forum and/or to admin@ichnfm.org where it will be received by our infrastructure.

• Etiquette definitions/examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etiquette_in_technology

• Etiquette rules: http://www.albion.com/netiquette/corerules.html

• Professionalism: Logical, polite, professional, articulate, properly communicated/spelled/structured sentences and other communication are expected. A standard of professionalism is confidentiality; so any posted questions or cases about clients/patients must have identifying information removed prior to posting.

• Polite behavior: No insults, attacks, criticisms of person.

• Our “be nice or leave” policy: Any violations of the intent and use of the forum will be noted by administrative discretion as grounds for revocation of membership/access/enrollment immediately and likely/possibly without any applicable refund, or with refund minus all administrative and logistical costs. This is not the place for politics, comments, sales, marketing, or complaints that should be sent in private messages or not at all.

• Signature: You may include up to 2-3 lines in your signature, and the first line must include only your name and degrees/credentials (graduate/doctorate only for those who have such); signatures that are overly bulky/offensive/promotional will be deleted and the user may be banned.

• Name & user id: Each participant can have only one identification and log-in. “Usernames” cannot be changed and need to be based on your real first and last names. This is a professional forum, and we expect dialogues among professionals with real names and real credentials, not among cartoon names and first names only (ie, this is not a forum for kids), and not just with “Dr” without defining degrees (the degree tells us the title).

• Confidentiality and group ownership: All conversations and postings in this forum are considered confidential and owned by the members/participants and ICHNFM and are not to be shared outside of these discussions and forums. Confidential information such as that which identifies patients should not be posted; any posted questions or cases about clients/patients must have identifying information removed prior to posting.

• Liability: ICHNFM is not liable for inappropriate use of this forum; individuals may be liable/responsible for their actions and posts and should use common sense and good judgment.

• Updates: These rules for the forum will be periodically updated and posted on this page; users are responsible must remain in good standing with the posted rules and “common sense and good taste” rules of etiquette and proper and professional behavior in order to maintain access to using the forums.

• Refunds: ICHNFM does not provide refunds following the receipt of intellectual property, whether delivered by book, article, course, video, or live event/conference. Intellectual property is deemed fully transferred at the first occasion of access by the student/attendee. Partial refunds may be processed only for gross and unsolvable failures to deliver course information. Very importantly, violation of these terms of use and exclusion/expulsion from ICHNFM courses/forums does not entitle someone to any refund; we do not reward misbehavior or misuse of ICHNFM materials with money. If misbehavior results in exclusion/expulsion from ICHNFM content/course/forums, then the value is deemed forfeited by the person causing the offense. 

• Privacy: Here are the standards and norms; violation of these can easily warrant immediate exclusion and may entail liability. Information in the forum is considered protected information and is not for public use or distribution. 

  • Students and attendees: Don't share posts/conversations/material outside of this group. 

  • Everyone: Don't post case reports with identifying information; respect patient privacy and confidentiality in case discussions. 

  • ICHNFM: We don't share information with anyone and we respect our own privacy and the privacy of the attendees and will take reasonable steps to protect all of the above. The industry standard for conferences and courses is that sponsors and educational partners may receive names and contact information from the attendees/students; that is --again-- the standard of the CE/CME industry and the reward to companies for sponsoring/underwriting/promoting educational events, since they can only seek affiliation and do not have the opportunity to promote sales of products. 

 

Refund/Return/Delivery policy: Because we deal with intellectual property, we do not provide refunds because the intellectual property is delivered-in-full at the moment of delivery/access; once the information is delivered, no refund is appropriate. The only exceptions to this policy apply to 1) partial returns on large bulk-discounted orders for bookstores and large educational events, and 2) cancellation of attendance prior to live seminars, either on-site or via the internet. In these situations, return credits are subtracted from by any administrative, shipping/stocking, and bank fees. Customers are responsible for providing accurate contact information and --especially in the case of book orders for example-- accurate direction/mailing information and are further responsible for being present to receive packages. Failure of address or failure to be present to receive packages will likely result in failure of delivery and additional costs.

 

Ownership and right of use and sale: Except for articles/videos/materials that are open-access, publicly available, or used with owner's permission, all informaiton contained in ICHNFM's various websites is owned by ICHNFM and protected as intellectual propery. Additional protections such as copyrights and trademarks have often been secured to provide additional protections and means by which to seek financial compensation for the technical/strategic damages incurred by misuse of our material. ICHNFM reserves the full right to its material, the design of its courses, and to deny services to persons who evidence unprofessional behavior or mis-use of ICHNFM's materials, works, events, forums, etc.
