Vitamins by Prescription Only?

Vitamins by Prescription Only?

 

ow that medical evidence shows vitamin supplement effectiveness, you

may not get a chance to use it. An international pharmaceutical

trade-group cartel known as CODEX is preparing to limit dietary

supplements to RDA-quantities only, and make any supplement over the

RDA a prescription-only item. This has already been done in a number

of European countries.

 

Our government's response? Well, the US Food and Drug Administration

has a history of seeking drastic regulations to limit your access to

vitamins and other nutritional supplements. Make no mistake about it:

FDA regulations have already resulted in at least six supplement

products being pulled off the market, and one of these is, of all

things, a brand of calcium powder. Another is the essential amino acid

Tryptophan, discussed in the last newsletter. So FDA will be on

CODEX's side.

 

The pharmaceutical cartel and the FDA rely on you doing nothing, so

Congress will do nothing, and free access to safe, cost-effective

supplements will be no more. The whole CODEX issue has been kept

behind closed doors and off TV. We've had public hearings on tobacco.

We've had assault weapons and crime hearings. We've had

how-do-people-dimple- ballots-in-Florida hearings. Seen any CODEX

hearings lately?

 

Every time FDA comes out and so sweetly says, " CODEX is not going to

take ANYBODY'S vitamins away, " you can tell them that we've heard it

all before. It took the Proxmire Amendment to stop the FDA from making

supplements prescription in 1976. It took the Dietary Supplement

Education Act to stop FDA from making supplements prescription in 1994.

 

Now, it will take you to stop CODEX from doing FDA's dirty work for

it. Will you write to your representative, your senator, and your

local newspaper?

 

With the internet, it is so easy. Visit http://www.talktogov.com/ to

email Congress. Use any 'net search engine to find your newspaper's

email address. Go to http://doctoryourself.com/write_now.html for my

famous " three-sentence letter " writing hints.

 

What would it be like to live in a country where it would be easier to

buy a handgun than a bottle of vitamin C? CODEX's prescription for

your vitamins will let you find out.

" Dirtiest Politics in the World "

 

The Honourable Eugene Whelan, recently retired Canadian Senator and

former Minister of Agriculture, attended recent meetings of Codex (the

international food regulating body), and described Codex as the

" phoniest organization in the world. " Codex representatives were not

scientists. Most had no background in agriculture or food, and were

heavily lobbied by industry. He described how the USA manipulated the

proceedings as the " dirtiest politics in the world. "
