The Documentation About " Codex Alimentarius "

What are the aims of the Codex Alimentarius Commission?

 

Constructed by the pharmaceutical industry, the Codex Alimentarius

Commission is a self-proclaimed expert organization that has allied

with the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Food

Organization (FAO). From the beginning, this was done with the

intention of passing regulations and laws to protect the global

pharmaceutical market.

 

Of the 30 committees using the title " Codex Alimentarius, " those

involved with food supplements and vitamins are of particular interest

to the pharmaceutical industry. The central committee is the " Codex

Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses. " A puppet

of the pharmaceutical industry, this committee has only been concerned

with one topic since the middle of the 1990's: how to prevent vitamins

and other food supplements from causing the collapse of the markets

for beta-blockers, calcium antagonists, cholesterol lowering products

and other widely superfluous pharmaceutical preparations.

 

By far, Germany is the biggest exporter of these dubious

pharmaceutical products and nowhere else in the world exists such a

bond between the pharmaceutical industry and politics. Therefore it is

no surprise that the Government of the German Federal Republic is in

charge of this committee, benefiting the pharmaceutical cartel.

 

The aims of Codex Alimentarius are clearly defined: Statements on the

curative effects of vitamins and other natural remedies will be banned

and made a punishable offense. In the future, the distinction between

a foodstuff and a medicine will be made by the pharmaceutical industry

itself and not by governments.

 

Using this new legislative edict, the pharmaceutical industry will

extend its own markets as it sees fit. At present, the pharmaceutical

industry has succeeded in classifying 500 milligrams of vitamin C in

pill form as a medication requiring a prescription in Germany. If the

pharmaceutical industry had its way, 100 mg or even 50 mg of vitamin C

would be classified as medication.

 

The pharmaceutical industry knows that most people have no

understanding of these restrictions and has disguised them with legal

jargon.

 

The strategic aims of " Codex Alimentarius "

 

1. The distribution of health information concerning vitamins,

amino acids, minerals and other natural products for the prevention

and treatment of diseases will be banned globally.

2. The sale of vitamins and other natural products which exceed the

guidelines of this Codex commission (which are arbitrary and far too

low) will be prohibited globally.

3. Countries that fail to apply these laws will be punished by

international economic sanctions.

 

To mask its actual intention of protecting the world market of

superfluous pharmaceutical preparations, those responsible for Codex

have invented exculpatory statements: Thus the next Codex Alimentarius

conference will occur at the " Federal Office for Health-related

Consumer Protection " in Berlin in November of 2002. In addition to the

" consumer protection " from alleged " harmful side effects " of vitamins,

a need for united international administration of the pharmaceutical

industry was indicated.

 

The fact that the pharmaceutical industry believes that this disguised

justification will be unacceptable is clearly evident since Codex

plans to punish all those who oppose its plans with economic sanctions

by the UN.

 

Our response: Talk to as many people as possible about these

irresponsible plans and let the members of the Codex commission and

their delegates know what you think.
