MEMBERSHIP AGREEMENT
I hereby apply for Membership in the Applied Mineral Balancing Institute, a Non-Profit Corporation, and Organized in the State of Washington, United States, hereinafter referred to as the “Association” – a private membership organization. My registration is acceptance of the offer made to become a member joining for educational and research purposes and I express my agreement with the following:
DECLARATION and MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING:
DECLARATION
1. This association of members hereby declare that our primary purpose is to protect and maintain our right to freedom of choice regarding alternative therapies, alternative modalities of treatment, health care decisions and the health improvement practices that we choose to receive – by asserting our constitutional, contractual, and civil rights.
2. As members, we affirm our belief that the Constitution of the United States guarantees all Americans, particularly members of private associations, the right of freedom of association, speech, assembly, belief, and associated activities. These are our inalienable rights.
3. We declare and assert the right to select from our membership those who can be expected to give the wisest counsel and advice regarding alternative therapies, alternative modalities of treatment, health care decisions and the health improvement practices and to authorize those members who are most skilled to facilitate the actual performance and delivery of health assistance and improvement methods that they and we deem appropriate. We assert these rights under the Federal and State Constitutions, Federal and State law and the statutes and regulations interpreting them.
4. We claim our freedom to choose and accept for ourselves the types of health care modalities that we think are best for determining the cause and correction of our health challenges. We do this in order that we might achieve optimal health and well-being. We reserve the right to include traditional, non-traditional or even unconventional health care options, plus other healing modalities or techniques used by health care professionals anywhere in the world, which our member-facilitators choose to deliver – with our approval.
5. More specifically, our mission is to provide members with the highest quality health care available. Our concern is for the whole person – body, mind, and spirit. We strive to stay on the leading edge of new and better health technologies.
6. This Association recognizes all persons as members, without respect to race or religion, who are in accordance with our principles and policies.
7. One purpose of the Association includes the collection of health research statistics from members using holistic practices. Association members are given access to software licensed by Creatrix Solutions LLC (licensee) to the Association that is capable of tracking hair tissue mineral analysis results, and program recommendations, along with life-style events, diet, protocols, supplements, and additional bio-metrics to generate meaningful reports for members to track their health status. The software is in beta testing, and additional features are being added to make the user experience more meaningful. Member identification will be strictly protected and any research generated by the Association or Licensee during reporting and statistical analysis of health metrics, may contain reference to geographic locations, sex and age, without reference to member identity.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
I consent to receive electronically transmitted notices and as the recipient, I have designated my email address where notices should be transmitted. I understand that I may revoke my consent in writing to the Association, or I may amend it to change the email address to which notices are to be transmitted. If two consecutive notices sent electronically are not successfully transmitted to a member, and the Association becomes aware of such failure, your consent shall be deemed revoked.
I understand that those members of the Association that provide services or advice do so in the capacity of fellow member-facilitators in a private manner and not in the capacity as public health-care facilitators. I understand that within the Association no Public-Doctor-Patient or Public-Therapy-Client relationship exists.
Within the Association I freely choose to change my legal status from that of a Public Health-Care Recipient, to that of a Private Membership Association care recipient. I realize that in doing so I relinquish certain Federal and State protections and privileges. I understand that it is my personal responsibility to evaluate the services offered and to educate myself as to efficacy, risks, or desirability. I agree that the actions I take, in this regard, are my own free-will decisions. If I am accepted for membership, I will exercise my rights for my own benefit and agree to hold harmless the Association and member- facilitators from any unintentional liability that might result from the advice or services I receive, except for the harm that could remotely result from an instance of “a clear and present danger of substantive evil” – as determined by the Association and as defined by the United States Supreme Court.
I understand and accept that, since the Association is protected by the First, Ninth and Fourteenth Amendments to the United States Constitution, it is exempt from any action of Federal and State agencies entrusted to “protect the public” – as it relates to any complaints or grievances against the Association, its physical premises or equipment its Board of Directors, member-facilitators or other associated staff or consultants. All complaints or grievances will be settled by non-judicial mediation, within the Association. Corporate records, minutes, meeting documents and other information is available upon written request accompanied by a reasonable document copying or scan fee.
I agree that I am joining this Private Membership Association under the common law. I understand that members seek to help each other achieve and sustain better health. I accept that the facilitators, and other health- care providers, who are fellow members, offer advice, services, and benefits that are not necessarily conventional or traditional.
As a Member, my goal is to accept those health and wellness services that I feel will truly help me. I will choose procedures that I consider proper and have a reasonable chance of making my health and life better. I realize that no health screening, resulting conclusions or health care services are foolproof. For example, if I choose to forego drugs, surgery or symptom treatments that have been recommended by others, in the public sector, I accept that risk. I assert my right of informed consent.
My activities within the Association are a private matter. The health and/ or sickness records, test results, and statistics that I have entered into the software remain the property of the Licensee. As a member I may share information with or receive information from other members and agree to be bound by ethics of confidentiality. I, in becoming a member, agree not to file malpractice, civil or criminal lawsuits against a fellow member, unless that member exposes me to a clear and present danger of substantive evil. I further agree that all association members are exempt from the provisions of any state Medical Practices Act, Federal Food Safety Modernization Acts, Codex Alimentarius or any similar Federal or state legislation.
I enter into this agreement of my own free will, or on behalf of a designated dependent, without any pressure or promise of benefit. I affirm that I do not represent any State or Federal Agency whose purpose is to regulate the practice of medicine or any other health care system.
I have read and understand this contract and any questions I had were answered fully to my satisfaction.
This document consists of my entire agreement for membership and it supersedes any previous agreement I may have made.
I understand that my membership entitles me to receive those benefits declared by the Association to be general benefits. I also agree to pay, as levied, for those benefits that I request and receive that are declared to be annual and special assessments, as per a posted fee schedule.
I understand that the term of membership begins with the date of the signing and acceptance of this agreement and continuing on an annual renewal basis, or until I give written notice to be removed from the Association roles. Annual membership fees are not refundable in the event of early membership termination.
By these presents I do certify, attest, and warrant that I have carefully read this application for membership and I fully understand and agree with all of the provisions stated herein.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I set my hand on this day to this agreement and completing the registration form above is evidence of my agreement.
