CODEX e-mail to my friends

[Guest guest]

I wrote this in a forwarded e-mail to my friends. Thanks to all those

in this group for what you're doing about this issue!

-----------------

This is very sad. There is a difference between a nutrient, a

supplement, and a drug. Herbs are edible foods. Supplements are

essentially nutrients found in foods. I can only guess that the

people at CODEX have swallowed a load of BS presented to them by the

big drug companies. You know, if drugs and supplements referred to

the same thing, we wouldn't have two different words. They are NOT

the same thing, and it just seems very ignorant to treat them as if

they were the same thing. I value my health freedom. I think it's a

very positive thing when people have the power to take control of

their health, rather than leave it up to the drug companies. There is

much information that is being suppressed by the press and the drug

companies. Supplements are a THREAT to the drugs they sell, and I

think that these companies will do WHATEVER they can to eliminate what

really is a major threat to their business. The truth of the matter

is, if everyone knew what health advocates like Gary Null know, the

drug companies would lose a lot business. I'm really sorry, folks. I

really hate passing along bad news. I really do. The truth is that

we can still preserve health freedom in the United States if everyone

wants it bad enough. I really hope you all want it.

 

It goes without saying that freedom of the press is diminishing in

this country. When you hear people say that supplements should be

treated the same way as drugs, you have to assume that this is because

the other point of view is being censored. When you take away ephedra

and iron supplements, there is less one death per year associated with

supplements. However, there are hundreds of deaths per year

associated with prescription drugs. I don't know what the exact

figures are, but you can do the research and verify that the numbers

of deaths per year from prescription drugs are AT THE VERY LEAST in

the hundreds. Dave, you probably know the figures. Send me an e-mail.

 

Folks, WE CANNOT take our freedom for granted. We've had to fight for

it before, and we may have to fight for it again. It's worth fighting

for. Let's not lose sight of what freedom really means. Freedom IS

NOT being allowed to blindly follow orders. The test of freedom is

whether or not you have the power to make your unique contribution to

the process of making the world a better place to live in.

 

On a personal note, I cannot tell you how dear my health freedom is to

me. If it wasn't for my health freedom, I would never have met the

woman I love, and I would never have been able to accomplish one of my

dreams, which was to create a solo piano CD of my own music. I would

never have been able to keep an exciting six piece latin band together

which now gets asked back to perform in the Inman Park festival every

year.

 

Thanks and PLEASE forward this e-mail.
