Health Supreme Update: European Health Legislation, Codex And The

Brussels has been busy " adjusting " EU food and medicine laws

for several years now, bringing increasingly onerous controls

for natural products - notably herbs and food supplements. Some

observers have criticized these moves as designed to give an

unfair advantage to " conventional " , pharma-based medicine and

will cut across preventive health strategies. Prevention is

high on the agenda, but official strategies are largely limited

to avoiding and killing off germs. Nutritional intervention,

giving people more strength to fight off illness, is not only

Thanks for the post! I've been trying to follow the Codex issue.

Here are my basic thoughts on the issue:

 

" Herbs " is another term for edible plants. " Supplements " is another

word for nutrients. Just because they can be put into pills doesn't

make them drugs. So all of the sudden, we have to prove that edible

plants and nutrients aren't harmful to our health, when it's been

established from the beginning of time, that they are beneficial to

our health. We might as well ask the government for permission every

time we eat.

 

This issue is so ridiculous, that you should be able take this issue

to court, using nothing but common sense. Obviously, the drug

companies have way too much money to burn, since they sell BS in

addition to drugs.

 

Thanks, and I really appreciate being a part of this group.
