American Quack Association ~
Alternative and Proud!

Our real founder, a dear MD friend, has asked that I not publish his name in connection with the revival of the AQA. This was due to a scurrilous lawsuit by a self-appointed nay-sayer for the American way of "Think for yourself".

However, the dear illustrious founder had this to say about how the AQA was named:

"Quack usually has a negative connotation. My idea is to take something that is negative and turn it into a positive, combining it with a sense of humor. We usually do get a laugh out of it. It stands for Quality (QUA) Care (C) with Kindness (K). so you have the name "Quack" in Quality Care With Kindness, and that's what we physician members of the AQA render. But we also have lay members, too."

I can think of no better simple statement regarding what we members, practitioners and lay people alike, are all about.

ASAP, I'll write how you can join and get a patch and a tie pin and other good stuff like mugs that proudly proclaim you to be a proud Alternative Practitioner or Booster, in defiance of culture and the oppression of your health freedoms!! Even your dog can join if you use alternative care on him/her. Hmm, collar tags, AQA logo on one side and your name and phone number on the other. Note to self: check this out. Color logo? Maybe just a tie tack that goes on the collar?
