Subject: Banning Sales of Food Supplements Worldwide

[Guest guest]

According to congress.org, there IS NO S.722, nor HR. 3377. I called the guy in

Washington, have had no response. The only thing I can think to do is to write

congressional members about restricting our FREEDOM to manage our own health

preferences.

 

I realize this is IMMEDIATE...IMPORTANT, nay..VITAL. But if this guy keeps

sending emails with info that cannot be researched, he is doing more harm than

good. Regular old everyday people will think it's more quackery...as many think

of alternative methods being quackery.

 

What's a poor old lady to do???

Banning Sales of Food Supplements Worldwide

 

 

If we don't act now, we have no right to complain afterwards. Please act

now!!!

 

Please read the very important health message below and contact

everyone you

can think of.

 

Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may

end in

June of this year (2005). After that U.S. supplements will be defined and

controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health

Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (Food Code) is setting the

supplement standards for all countries in the WTO. They will be

enforced by

the WTO and will override U.S. laws. The U.S. President and Congress

agreed

to this take-over when the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are

punished by

WTO trade sanctions. CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs

and other food supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004 and

finalized " Step 8 (the final stage) " to begin implementation in June '05.

 

The CODE includes:

 

(1) No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use.

 

(2) Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a " drug " requiring a

prescription and must be produced by drug companies. Over 5000 safe items

now in health stores will be banned, terminating health stores as we now

know them.

 

(3) CODEX regulations become binding internationally.

 

(4) New supplements are banned unless given very expensive CODEX

testing and

approval.

 

CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where zinc tablets

rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient immune-enhancement

herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples are now allowed by prescription

only). They are now " drugs! " Vitamin C above 200 mg, niacin above 32 mg,

vitamin B6 above 4 mg -all are banned over-the-counter as drugs. No

essential amino acids (arginine, lysine (used effectively for fever

blisters), carnitine, L-Tryptophan (used effectively for eliminating

depression), GABA (used effectively for eliminating anxiety), etc.,

Essential Fatty Acids (omegas 3, 6, 9, etc.), or other essential

supplements

such as DMAE, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are not allowed!

 

The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They are made by a few

people

meeting in secret (see web sites below), not necessarily scientists.

In 1993

the FDA and drug corporations tried to put all supplements under

restriction

and prescription. But over 4 million Americans told Congress and the

President to protect their freedom of choice on health supplements. The

DSHEA Law was passed in 1994, which does so. But this will be over

ruled by

CODEX and the World Trade Organization!

 

Virtually nothing about it has been in the media. What the drug

corporations

have failed to do through Congress they have gotten by sneak attack

through

CODEX with the help of a silent media. What can be done at this late hour?

 

(1) Spread the word as much as possible. Inform yourselves :

http://www.ahha.org <http://www.ahha.org/> <http://www.ahha.org/>

http://www.iahf.com <http://www.iahf.com/> <http://www.iahf.com/>

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

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

 

(2) Oppose bills S.722 and H.R.3377. These support the CODEX restrictions

with U.S. laws, changing the DSHEA law.

 

(3) Support H. R.1146 which would restore the sovereignty of the U.S.

Constitution over CODEX, etc.

 

(4) Express your wishes to the President, Senators and Representatives

(They

got us into this!) ASAP.

 

(5) Contact multi-level health marketing groups that can get their members

to inform the government.

 

(6) Contact the British Alliance for Natural Health (see Web site

above). It

has succeeded in challenging the CODEX directives in World Court and will

appear in court again later this month or next. They need help

financially,

having carried the fight effectively for everyone. CODEX and the FDA

wish to

" protect " us by controlling supplements in the same way they do

prescription

drugs. A study of the latter by three medical scientists was reported

in the

Journal of the American Medical Association, April 15, 1998 -Vol. 279, No.

15, p. 1200: " Incidence of Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR's) was found to be

extremely high. " Covering 30 years (1966 to 1996) it was found that in

the U

S. an average of 106,000 hospitalized patients per year (290 per

day!!) DIE

from ADR's and 2,200,000 need more hospitalization for recovery! These

were

FDA approved drugs, properly administered by competent professionals in

hospitals--none were considered malpractice. This is the number four cause

of death in the U.S. When combined, these account for 7% of all

hospitalized

patients. This is equivalent to a 9-11 attack every ten days. There

are very

few fatalities from supplements or the news would be on every front page.

There is no need for more FDA control of supplements than is already in

place, which is substantial. Instead of drastically restricting

supplements,

why doesn't the FDA better control, restrict the extremely dangerous

pharmaceutical drugs and require double-blind studies of multiple Px

interactions which are now killing us at the rate of a major airline crash

per day?

Do a LYCOS search for " codex alimentarius " and read all you can . . . .

This thing is REALLY, R E A L L Y BAD !

I tried looking up these bills also, at http://thomas.loc.gov/

and this is what the search returned:

" The text of S.722 has not yet been received from GPO

Bills are generally sent to the Library of Congress from the

Government Printing Office a day or two after they are introduced on

the floor of the House or Senate. Delays can occur when there are a

large number of bills to prepare or when a very large bill has to be

printed. " (I recieved the exact reply for HR. 3377)

 

So that means it isn't on the floor yet, but it doesn't mean it isn't

going to be. I also wrote Barbara Boxer and asked her about the bills,

and when I recieve a reply I will post it. So far she has replied to

every email I have sent her, but it takes a little time. --Kat
