UK Controlled Opposition Group Goes into High Gear to Deceive Vitamin

Consumers: Dangerous Global Implications

 

IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Whats New, What to Do, Codex, EU FSD, All

Countries

 

IAHF List:

 

Unless the Alliance for Natural Health receives $50,000 in donations in the next

2 months for the next leg of their legal battle to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive, consumer access to dietary supplements world wide will be

torpedoed.

 

WE GOT TROUBLE- _BIG_ TROUBLE... COG TROUBLE....

 

Controlled opposition groups ( " COGs " ) are like Trojan Horses. People think

they're genuinely fighting for a cause they believe in, they throw their energy

behind the COG, only to learn in the end that they were horribly deceived.

 

COGs serve as decoys to keep people AWAY from GENUINE organizations that are

REALLY fighting back.

 

Often, groups that were GENUINE at one time, and which have built up a

reputation of being a group that can be trusted, become INFILTRATED and turned

into a COG group.

 

Such is the case with the National Association of Health Stores in the UK.

Ditto for the UK's Health Food Manufacturers Assn, and for the UK's so called

" Consumers for Health Choice. " All 3 are COGs. They have the backing of actress

Jenny Seagrove who doesn't realize she's being horribly USED.

 

People see her name attached to these groups and ASSUME they can be trusted,

after all, Seagrove GENUINELY DOES want to protect HER access to dietary

supplements- and people have trouble grasping that a celebrity could be so badly

conned that she is actually supporting a phony group that is actually only

trying to DISTRACT people from the group they SHOULD be supporting.

 

This sort of deviousness is never easy to expose because once someone has been

conned into supporting a COG group, their EGO makes it very difficult for them

to ADMIT that they made a mistake, and many GOOD PEOPLE are deceived and USED by

COG groups, which helps them to DEFLECT CRITICISM from someone like me who has

had a lot of experiene in seeing through and exposing COGs.

 

WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON IN JOLLY OL' ENGLAND?

WHY SHOULD VITAMIN CONSUMERS WORLD WIDE BE CONCERNED???

 

In a recent issue of the UK's Daily Mail, a long article appeared which backs so

called " Consumers For Health Choice " and the UK's Conservative Parties phony

effort to " defend " consumer access to dietary supplements- see

http://www.conservatives.com/vitamins/

 

They're asking people to sign a petition--- here is what they say:

 

 

VITAMINS & MINERALS UNDER THREAT

 

A CONSERVATIVE CAMPAIGN FOR GOVERNMENT ACTION

 

The vitamin & mineral tablets used by millions of British people are under

threat. Products such as 1gram Vitamin C tablets that are frequently used in the

cold season, and the mineral Boron, important for strong bones and teeth, are

set to become illegal once recently passed European laws are fully introduced.

 

Many more specialist vitamins that have been used safely by UK consumers for

many years will also disappear. Almost every multi-vitamin tablet sold in

Britain will have to be reformulated to avoid breaking the law.

 

Despite a vigorous campaign by the Conservative Party and the pressure group

Consumers for Health Choice, the Government accepted the new rules. It is too

late to reverse that decision – but it’s not too late to change the way that the

laws will be enforced. The European Commission has still to decide many final

details. It is still possible to save many products; but that will not happen

unless the Government works hard on our behalf. Right now, that’s not happening.

 

That is why the Conservatives have launched a new campaign to put pressure on

the Government to step in and get the right deal in Brussels. We are breaking

new ground by organising a nationwide e-petition. We aim to get the backing of

thousands of people; backing that we can use to put renewed pressure on

Ministers and to make them realise how strongly we all feel about this.

 

WHY THIS PETITION WILL DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING

 

The EU Food Supplement Directive has ALREADY PASSED into European Law, and the

ONLY thing that can overturn it is a LAWSUIT.

 

What this petition WILL do is it will lead people to BELIEVE that if they sign

it, they've " done what they can " to fight back, when in reality, all they'll

have done is WASTE THE TIME it took them to sign it.

 

Even if EVERY SINGLE PERSON in the UK were to sign this petition, it wouldn't do

ANY GOOD, but it WILL keep a lot of people from making ANY effort to contribute

donations to the ANH Lawsuit via ANH's secure server at

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

Unless ANH can generate $50,000. in the next 2 months, its ALL OVER for the

dietary supplement industry WORLD WIDE due to the impact the EU has at the UN's

Codex Alimentarius Commission where the EU wields more power than any other

entity, especially when they'll be expanding from 15- 25 nations prior to the

upcoming Codex meeting in November.

 

ANH has the best lawfirm in Europe in their corner (Brick Court Chambers). This

is the ONLY lawfirm that has EVER succeeded in overturning an EU Directive, and

they CAN overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive, IF we support ANH's efforts

to return to court.

 

WHY CHC, NAHS, and HFMA DON'T _WANT_ the EU FSD OVERTURNED

 

See ANH's response to Peter Aldis, Chair of HFMA at http://www.iahf.com/anh

Aldis is ceo of Holland and Barrett which is owned by Nature's Bounty.

Nature's Bounty is publicly traded on the stock market, and all they care about

is increasing the value of their stock. All they care about is gaining increased

marketshare. They don't care what happens to vitamin consumers.

 

The EU Food Supplement Directive slams consumer access to supplements in the UK,

Ireland, Holland and Sweden; while simultaneously slighting INCREASING consumer

access in the REST of Europe.

 

The profits Nature's Bounty will make in the REST of Europe would MORE THAN

COMPENSATE them for the profits they will LOSE in England, Ireland, Holland and

Sweden from companies having to reformulate products to comply with the

Directive.

 

See ANH's response to Aldis at http://www.iahf.com/aldis and make a donation to

ANH via http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

Forward this to everyone you know world wide. As goes the EU, so goes the WORLD.

The USA has been set up by the FDA to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute. If you
