Atlantic Charter

The President of the United States of America and the Prime Minister, Mr. Churchill, representing His Majesty's Government in the United Kingdom, being met together, deem it right to make known certain common principles in the national policies of their respective countries on which they base their hopes for a better future for the world.

First, their countries seek no aggrandizement, territorial or other;

Second, they desire to see no territorial changes that do not accord with the freely expressed wishes of the peoples concerned;

Third, they respect the right of all peoples to choose the form of government under which they will live; and they wish to see sovereign rights and self government restored to those who have been forcibly deprived of them;

Fourth, they will endeavor, with due respect for their existing obligations, to further the enjoyment by all States, great or small, victor or vanquished, of access, on equal terms, to the trade and to the raw materials of the world which are needed for their economic prosperity;

Fifth, they desire to bring about the fullest collaboration between all nations in the economic field with the object of securing, for all, improved labor standards, economic advancement and social security;

Sixth, after the final destruction of the Nazi tyranny, they hope to see established a peace which will afford to all nations the means of dwelling in safety within their own boundaries, and which will afford assurance that all the men in all the lands may live out their lives in freedom from fear and want;

Seventh, such a peace should enable all men to traverse the high seas and oceans without hindrance;

Eighth, they believe that all of the nations of the world, for realistic as well as spiritual reasons must come to the abandonment of the use of force. Since no future peace can be maintained if land, sea or air armaments continue to be employed by nations which threaten, or may threaten, aggression outside of their frontiers, they believe, pending the establishment of a wider and permanent system of general security, that the disarmament of such nations is essential. They will likewise aid and encourage all other practicable measures which will lighten for peace-loving peoples the crushing burden of armaments.

Cartierism

Cartierism is where medical technology is used unacknowledged from a source who is simultaneously vilified and often from indigenous cultures. Cartierism is so named because of the best known historical example.

Cartierism has its roots from Jacques Cartier's European expedition to Canada in 1535 at the start of European colonization. Cartier and his crew spent the winter unexpectedly in Stadacona, Quebec, he and his crew began dying of a disease we know today as the deficiency disease called scurvy.

Relations between the Indigenous and the Europeans were by that time strained; nonetheless the indigenous people healed Cartier's crew with their method of using L-ascorbate ("vitamin C") in the form of a tea made from the Arbor Vitae tree.

Despite being saved by them, Cartier rewarded Indigenous people by taking a dozen as hostage to Europe and upon explaining the information of this medicinal treatment in France, doctors simply replied, "what could we possibly learn from savages?"

Shortly after that the British Navy proved citrus fruit would prevent and cure scurvy.

Cartierism is alive today in numerous examples from Aloe vera to zinc.
The obscurity of Nurse Rene Caisse's exceptional impact on patients' health by use of indigenous medicine is the product of Cartierism.
