US CODEX DELEGATION SET TO BETRAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

[Guest guest]

THIS IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT TO ANYONE USING VITAMINS OR HERBS.

YOUR FREEDOM TO USE THESE ITEMS FREELY IS IN DANGER.

Here is information and a link to what you can do to try to stop it.

The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established under heavy

influence of the pharmaceutical industry in 1963 following

resolutions passed at the Eleventh Session of the Conference of the

Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1961, and

at the Sixteenth World Health Assembly in 1963. From its very

beginning CAC's clear intention was to protect corporate interests

in the global pharmaceutical and food markets.

 

US CODEX DELEGATION POISED TO BETRAY THE AMERICAN PEOPLE

The U.S. Delegation to Codex has just issued a formal written

statement to the Codex Alimentarius Commission that the United

States, during the July 4-9, 2005, meeting in Rome, will support

compulsory rules created by this international organization directly

overruling U.S. law regarding access to vitamins.

 

The U.S. law that is about to be vanquished is the Dietary

Supplement, Health and Education Act of 1994. Codex is a joint

venture between the United Nation's World Health Organization and

Food and Agriculture Organization. (WHO/FAO) The World Trade

Organization (WTO) has already stated that it will enforce

Codex " guidelines " as the world standard for trade in dietary

supplements. This will mean that gradually, pill-by-pill, our access

to the dietary supplements we depend on will disappear.

 

For those not familiar with the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act of 1994, it was passed because 2.5 million ordinary

citizens wanted to make sure dietary supplements such as herbs,

vitamins, minerals and other food-based supplements could stay on

the over-the-counter market. Movement to create this law, known as

DSHEA, started when a 1992 FDA task force published a report

announcing the FDA's desire to remove these products from the

shelves as they represented a " disincentive for patented drug

research " .

 

Immediately following this announcement, millions of Americans

learned about how famed vitamin doctor, Jonathan Wright's patient-

filled medical office was raided the same month by nearly two-dozen

gun-toting, flak-jacketed FDA agents in the name of regulating

supplements. Battering down an unlocked office door, these agents,

backed by burly sheriff's department deputies, lined up staff and

patients against the wall, pulled IVs from patients arms in middle

of treatments, confiscated patient records, took the hard drive from

the office computer all because Dr. Jonathan Wright was using

nutritional supplements to heal very sick people who could not get

help from standard allopathic medical care.

 

As the story developed, it turned out that this Gestapo-style raid

was standard operating procedure for the FDA and as the general

public became aware of just how many doctors' offices, manufacturing

companies, distributors and health food stores had been assaulted by

similar raids, the horror of all this forged a mighty health freedom

army that resulted in unanimous passage of DSHEA.

 

The idea of the law was two-fold:

 

1. DSHEA was to make a clear distinction between FOOD, which is

considered generally safe and did not need to have permission from

the FDA to be allowed on the market and DRUGS, which are generally

toxic, potentially deadly and in need of lengthy evaluation before

they were available to the public under prescription from a doctor.

 

2. DSHEA provides the FDA with plenty of legal authority to remove

herbs or dietary supplements from the market providing the agency

has plenty of REAL evidence of REAL harm to the public. The FDA also

has the authority to limit the amount of a supplement to low levels

IF the agency has plenty of REAL evidence to prove higher levels ARE

ACTUALLY dangerous.

 

The FDA and its Big Pharma backers have never liked DSHEA because

these products and the related natural healing arts services often

related to them are putting the allopathic drug/surgical/chemical

medical industry to shame.

 

In my book, Death by Modern Medicine, using the allopathic medical

industry's own official reports, I document how 784,000 people die

every year in the American medical system while following doctors'

orders in a highly-regulated allopathic system. The proof that

dietary supplements and the practitioners who promote them are safe

and work as expected is evidenced everywhere. Studies conducted all

over the world have shown that supplements are actually safer than

food and there is simply no hard evidence to show there is ANY risk

factor worthy of discussion, much less needing universal " risk

assessment " .

 

Yet, the U.S. Delegation, along with its Big Pharma backers are

bound and determined that Codex force " risk analysis assessments "

upon the American dietary supplement industry so they can bypass the

expressed will of the American people.

 

 

The REAL reason for promotion of " risk assessment " is based on two

agendas. First, to be able to strip the over-the-counter marketplace

of everything but low quality, low dose-level products that won't do

much to support or improve health. Second, to set up the framework

to allow Big Pharma to take over the supplement market as a new form

of drugs where prices can be jacked up outrageously and doled out by

doctors for a fee.

 

Here is a site with a really easy form letter to the delegates of

the Codex expressing our concerns.All you have to do is add the

letter heading and fill out your name and address.Please takes five

minutes and do this.

UNDERSTAND THIS: If you do not ACT NOW, you and everyone you love,

will be condemned to living under an international law that denies

your basic right to maintain your health. WITHOUT HEALTH, YOU HAVE

NO FREEDOM!
