IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Whats New, Codex, EU FSD, All Countries, What to DoIAHF List: John Hammell of IAHF will be on the air tomorrow, Tuesday June 15th on "Update on Health" with Pieter C. Taams, MD, ND- the show is web based on http://www.voiceamerica.com and can be heard from 7-8 AM Pacific time, 8-9 am Mountain, 9-10 Central, 10-11 am Eastern, 3-4 PM UK, 4-5 PM European time.The Show will also be archived at http://www.naturopathic-retreat.com/radio-show-archive.htmWe'll be discussing Dr.Corsello's CODEX RED ALERT #3, (below) as well as the letter I just sent to US Codex Chair Dr.Ed Scarbrough to demand the firing of the two US Codex Delegates who violated US law by not backing up the South African proposal to allow for truthful health claims to be made on dietary

supplements at CODEX. The FDA's criminal agenda to set the USA up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute is painfully apparent from the actions of these two US Codex Delegates. (See the previous email I sent to the list today.)John Hammell will be out of his office til Friday and will be visiting Dr.Taams for the sake of brainstorming ideas to help us all fight back. Please actively participate in the IAHF Community Bulletin Board at http://www.iahf.com where you can communicate with others on the IAHF list about what you are doing to fight back. See Dr.Corsello's Codex Red Alert #3 below, and please forward this to more people.Appreciate IAHF's efforts?

Point Roberts, WA 98281 USAhttp://www.corsello.com/politics/politics_red_alerts.htm#CODEX%20RED%20ALERT%20No%203CODEX RED ALERT No. 3 / The Brits Are mounting A Defense Against the German Codex BlitzThis is the latest report on the war against our supplements:In 2003 approximately 80 % of the supplements were lifted from the shelves of Australian health food stores. This was done in spite of tremendous public opposition.http://joevialls.altermedia.info/subliminalsuggestion/vitamins.htmlLast year Canada harmonized its supplement laws with Australia’s.Canadians are now forced to go through an avalanche of red tape. This will result in the smaller and more creative manufacturing companies being forced out of business. The Canadians are

rebelling, but you can imagine how difficult it is to do so after the fact! http://www.friendsoffreedom.org/action.php?op=ActionLetter1New Zealand is next on the slaughter list. Their Minister of Health: “has been convinced” to harmonize with Australia’s restrictive supplement regulations. Currently New Zealand’s consumers are going through hell in trying to prevent ratification of the Joint Therapeutic Treaty with Australia (JTA). http://www.healthcharter.org.nz/The European Congress (EU) is totally in the hands of the Pharmaceutical Cartel and has been reducing the number of supplements available and wants to go even further. This in effect will preclude the ability of Orthomolecular Physicians to use natural medicine instead of drugs.As you know what goes on in Europe goes

on in America since we have signed the Global Agreement on Trade and Tariff (“GATT”) and its enforcement arm the World Trade Organization (“WTO”).The maneuver of the Pharmaceutical Cartel is to shut down everybody around us, (see Australia, Canada and New Zealand) and then take us in one swift scoop. see http://www.thehealthcrusader.com/pgs/article-0104-ban.shtmlMy dear friends,The time has come to realize we live in a global village and it is much better to join force with our friends abroad and avoid slaughter in our soil. It took Woodrow Wilson a great deal of convincing to make America join the European allies in the First World War and it took Pearl Harbor to allow Roosevelt to finally join the Brits in Europe to fight Hitler.History seems to repeat itself. The belligerent German war machine, via their

pharmaceutical cartel, is again leading the way to take control of the natural field of medicine. They kill first and then set their rules and prices. Germany is the host country of the UN Codex Alimentarius Commission's Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses which could finalize a global trade standard for vitamins and minerals in November 2004. The USA has already been set up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute on the Codex vitamin issue via a whitewashed congressional oversight hearing on March 20, 2001.It was not too long ago when the German Jews refused to see their life at risk in Nazi Germany! We are now all at risk.The alternative medical Pearl Harbor has already taken place. (See Australia, Canada, New Zealand)I strongly recommend we again join force with the Brits. (Alliance for Natural Health) www.alliance-natural-health.org and let them fight for us. While 50% of you have

visited their web site only 2% have thus far made donations.I believe one reason is the confusion created by so many issues.You might have been asked to focus on the Durbin proposed legislationThat is a waste of human resources. The Durbin Bill is going no where (only 4 cosponsors, most recent was 7 months ago) and in fact his multiple attempts to find more cosponsors have failed. There are only 100 members in our Senate and they are well aware of the fact that there are over I39 million of us that use supplements.We can therefore put this issue to rest and focus on the immediate danger, that of the passage by the European congress of the very restrictive supplements regulations, which unless overturned in court will be transposed into the Global Trade Standard at Codex.Let’s make a wise use of our money by joining our allies in the imminent fight in the European courts.The ANH (www.alliance-natural-health.org)

is very effectively working in this arena.Let’s have our D-DAY there rather than here.For more detail, read the other CODEX RED ALERTS on this page and sign up for updates on this issue at http://www.iahf.comIn the spirit of Freedom,Serafina Corsello, MDPresident of ARM2004 (Alliance for Reform of Medicine)For Health Freedom,John C.

*************************************************

To:Ed Scarbrough, US Codex ChairmanAlso to L.Robert Lake, JD, CFSAN, FDA, US Delegate to the Codex Committee on Food LabelingAnd to Mary Cutshell, FSIS, USDA, Assistant US Delegate to the Codex Committee on Food LabelingAnd to Elizabeth Yetley, CFSAN, FDA, US Delegate to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses[see South African Government Complaint to CODEX re opposition to the finalization of a Draft Guideline for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims, below my comments- I would like an immediate response to all questions asked herein.]Dear Dr.Scarbrough:Below my comments you will find the Official Complaint of the South African government to CODEX opposing finalization of a Draft Guideline for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims because Codex is refusing to allow for truthful health claims to be made for dietary supplements. In their detailed

complaint they cite evidence that the World Health Organization itself has acknowledged the role nutrition plays in the prevention and alleviation of disease states. Given that WHO administers CODEX, I share their concern that if the Draft Guideline for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims is allowed to be finalized as currently written, it will directly contradict positions already taken by the WHO, which would cast WHO and CODEX into total and complete DISREPUTE amongst vitamin consumers world wide (along with the US Government unless you take appropriate action in light of my concerns.) It is totally inconsistent with US law that US Codex Delegates to the Committee on Food Labeling (Robert Lake and Mary Cutshell) failed to back the South African proposal at Codex to allow for health claims to be made for dietary supplements.I know Dr.s Anthony Rees, and Dr.Antoinette Booyzen on the South African Codex Delegation,

and have been to South Africa where I worked closely with Dr.Rees. I have had numerous lengthy communications with them both and know that they have been influenced heavily in their thinking at CODEX on the issue of allowing health claims to be made for dietary supplements by the ideas contained in both the US Nutrition Labelling and Education Act of 1990 and the US Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, which as you are all well aware have been US law since 1990 and 1994 respectively. As one of the legions of American vitamin consumers who worked diligently to get DSHEA passed in 1994, it angers me greatly when I see unelected US bureaucrats who supposedly "represent me" taking actions as official representatives of my country at UN Codex meetings which directly CONTRADICT established US law which most unquestionably represents the express will of We the People of these United States of America, and the

will of Congress.I find this ESPECIALLY galling when I know that the USA's dietary supplement laws serve as a MODEL which many health conscious people world wide seek to emulate, especially in the third world where the insane costs of the current allopathically oriented "medical model" are bankrupting entire governments, while NOT bringing about ANY improvement in health whatsoever. This problem is well documented in the article DEATH BY MEDICINE by Gary Null, PhD, Carolyn Dean, MD,ND; Martin Feldman, MD; Deborah Rasio MD, and Dorothy Smith, PhD http://www.garynull.com/Article.aspx?Article=/documents/iatrogenic/deathbymedicine/deathbymedicine1.htmCurrently an estimated 48% of Americans consume dietary supplements regularly. Thats an estimated 139,000,000. people. I am quite aware that the

multinational pharmaceutical companies which FDA and USDA represent as de-facto "trade associations" fully realize that Senator Durbin's bill S.722 has zero chance of passage given these demographics, so the only way FDA and USDA and the drug companies which control them can hope to make an end run around current US law is via pushing draconian finalized trade standards for dietary supplements through to completion at CODEX and via the US being hauled before the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body- a new international court that does not follow US rules of evidence, which deliberates behind closed doors, and where we would be "represented" by the same unelected bureaucrats who are setting us up to lose in a trade dispute in the first place.As you are all well aware, both US laws (NLEA and DSHEA) allow for the limited making of health claims on the labels of dietary supplements so that vitamin consumers shopping in health food

stores can benefit from a wealth of thoroughly documented scientific information at the point of sale. A primary example of this is shown through the example of health claims being permitted on folic acid supplements for the prevention of neural tube defects. Having once visited The Matheny School in New Jersey where I witnessed numerous victims of a horrible paralyzing disease called Spina Bifida caused by their mothers not having sufficient folic acid when they were pregnant (because at that time the FDA still forbade the making of this health claim), I remain genuinely perplexed by the actions of Robert Lake and Mary Cutshell as US Delegates to the Codex Committee on Food Labelling in Montreal where they were both were AGAINST the South African motion to allow for health claims to be made for dietary supplements.I would like a complete explanation of Lake and Cutshell's actions in this instance, and would like to

know whether or not you (Dr.Scarbrough) intend to REMOVE Lake and Cutshell from the US Delegation to this (AND ALL) Codex Committees in the future, and to urge that they be fired for acting inconsistently with US law, and if NOT, WHY NOT??? Please explain your answer. (Mr.Lake and Ms. Cutshell, if you have anything to say in your defense regarding your highly questionable non backing of South Africa's proposal to allow health claims be made for dietary supplements at the meeting on Food Labelling in Montreal, I'd really like to see it.)In addition to being cc'ed to numerous key members of Congress, this email is being posted on the IAHF website, and any lack of a response will be very conspicuously noted by not only these members of Congress, but also by the huge number of visitors to our site from all over the USA and the world. It is also being circulated via email to thousands of vitamin consumers across the USA and

the world, and we demand immediate answers, as the USA's non backing of the South African proposal seems to us to be part of a "World Health Organization" Genocide Agenda to cull our numbers. [ See Article: Population Control: Conspiracy or Fact http://www.taxtyranny.ca/images/HTML/AER/Misc/Articles/population.doc I would also like a detailed official US reaction to the South African COMPLAINT lodged with CODEX on this issue. (See Below.)I am also sending this email to Dr.Beth Yetley at FDA (US Codex Delegate to the Committee on Nutrition) and would like her detailed reaction to my comments as well since the South African motion would impact things at both the Codex Committee on Food Labeling and the Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses.It is painfully obvious to a growing number of people world wide

that US actions at CODEX go diametrically against current US law, and that systematic efforts are being made by unelected bureaucrats "representing" the USA at Codex meetings abroad to set the USA up to LOSE in a future WTO Trade Dispute via which US Dietary Supplement Laws can be forcibly harmonized to an emerging mindlessly restrictive international trade standard under "development" at the non transparent, undemocratic FARCE known as Codex. (See http://www.thehealthcrusader.com/pgs/article-0104-ban.shtmlWill there be any ACCOUNTABILITY in this matter, or is this just another rampant example of the sort of heinous GOVERNMENT ABUSES documented in Omar Garrison's well written book The Dictocrats- Our Unelected Rulers , or in James Bovard's book How the Government Screws You From A-Z (?)I would like to see detailed comments to all

concerns expressed in this email which I am also sending to you by certified mail with return receipt requested with an extensive paper trail to other interested parties including Senators Hatch and Harkin, Congressmen Paul, De Fazio, and Burton.Here is the COMPLAINT the South African Government has just lodged with the Codex Commission on this issue, and as US Codex Chair, I would like to know what the official US response to it will be:Comments from South Africa to the Codex Commission(2004)CL 2004/22-FLDraft Guideline for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims at step 8 for adoption by the CommissionSouth Africa is concerned that a Draft Guideline is presented for adoption at Step 8 that contains a section that is no longer sustainable because of overwhelming scientific evidence that contradicts the message of this section. Since Codex adopted the principle that Standards and Guidelines should be based on

scientific evidence, the above-mentioned Guideline should not be adopted at Step 8 with this section still in operation.In the following documents, the WHO, acknowledges the role of "diet and nutrition in the prevention of chronic diseases"', and the "promotion of optimal nutrition amonq consumers throuqh adequate labellinq and the use of health claims, to assist them in makinq the riqht choices"z:1. "WHO Technical Report on Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases" (2003)2. WHO's Director-General's report of the Joint FAO/WHO evaluations of the work of the Codex Alimentarius Commission (Fifty sixth World Health Assembly Provisional agenda 14.19, reference A 56/34, dated 3 April 2004), paragraph 23. In paragraph 17 the Director-General noted that the Codex Commission recommends that the scope of the Commission should also fully cover health-related aspects of food standards.In our opinion two

Codex Committee's failed to implement this policy recommendation of science-based decisions, namely CCNFSDU 2003 and CCFL 2004 by not acknowledging -1. In the case of CCNFSDU 2003: The use of the wording "prevention of chronic diseases" in the preamble to the document Proposed Draft Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral supplements", based on an outdated clause in the Codex general Guidelines on Claims (CAC/GL 1-1979 (Rev. 1-1991) which prohibits claims as to the suitability of a food for use in the prevention, alleviation, treatment or cure of a disease; and2. In the case of CCFL 2004: The revision of the Codex general Guidelines on Claims (CAC/GL 1-1979 (Rev. 1-1991) to update the abovementioned clause to reflect the latest scientific evidence that nutrients can heal nutritional deficiency diseases and certain metabolic disorders, can prevent chronic diseases and can be used as an alternative option in the treatment of some

diseases.WHO finds it acceptable to use the word "diseases" when referring to diet and nutritional policies which are within the scope of Codex Alimentarius. In other words, the fact that foods and nutrients can prevent diseases and some cases cure diseases (e.g., classical deficiency diseases and certain metabolic disorders) do not make these foods and nutrients medicines from a scientific point of view. Dictations from national legislation should not be permitted to influence and allow incorrect statements in a global Guideline.South Africa recommends that the Draft Guideline for Use of Nutrition and Health Claims not be adopted at step 8 by the Commission and that section 3.4 of the Codex general Guidelines on Claims (CAC/GL 1-1979 (Rev. 1-1991) which prohibits claims as to the suitability of a food for use in the prevention, alleviation, treatment or cure of a disease be revised to correctly reflect scientific

evidence.For Health Freedom,John C.
