Dear Health Freedom Advocate,

Below is news from the Rath Foundation regarding the harmonising of dietary supplement legislation between

the USA and Europe. It is plain to see that boarders, national laws and legislation will not shield us from any impending harmonisation to international laws, in the disguise of "free trade", no matter what the TGA keep repeating here in Australia to put us all back to sleep. Please read on....

EU-U.S. SUMMIT SIGNALS NEW THREATS TO NATURAL HEALTH THERAPIES

New transatlantic economic integration agreement and secret FDA-EU 'confidentiality arrangement' threaten the harmonizing of U.S. dietary supplement legislation to restrictive European regulationsThe European Union and the United States recently announced the signing of a Framework for Advancing Transatlantic Economic Integration at a summit in Washington. Describing the agreement as "a statement of the importance of trade", President Bush, speaking at the post-summit press conference, claimed that it was "a commitment to eliminating barriers to trade" and "a recognition that the closer that the United States and the EU become, the better off our people become."Because the signing of this agreement received only minimal media coverage, U.S. consumers could perhaps be forgiven for assuming that its potential to affect the regulation of dietary supplements was negligible. In reality, however, not only does the existence of a secret "confidentiality agreement" signed by the FDA with its European counterparts in 2005 now threaten the harmonizing of U.S. dietary supplement legislation to restrictive European regulations, but the European Commission President, José Manuel Barroso, has specifically stated that the pharmaceutical sector will be one of the areas that would benefit the most from transatlantic regulatory cooperation.

What is a vitamin?

The term “vitamin” was introduced in 1912 by a Polish scientist, Casimir Funk, to describe natural substances in food that are essential for life.More...

Can’t we get all of the vitamins we need in our food? No. Independent studies conducted in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom and many other countries show that the nutrient content of our food has fallen substantially over the past few decades.More...

Isn’t the RDA sufficient? No. There is a large body of evidence showing that many vitamins and minerals - when consumed at higher than Recommended Daily Allowance (RDA) levels - are beneficial in maintaining optimum health and preventing the development of chronic diseases.More...

What is Cellular Health? The concept of Cellular Health is based upon the principle that health is determined at the level of the billions of cells that make up the human body.More...

What is nutrient synergy? The concept of nutrient synergy maximizes the health benefits of micronutrients because of the discovery that they work best in "teams".More...

What are the advantages of the Cellular Health approach over conventional medicine? The Cellular Health approach is based upon the discovery that health and disease are not determined at the level of organs but at the level of the billions of cells that make up these organs and the human body.More...

Is there any research to support the Cellular Health approach? Yes! The website of the Dr. Rath Health Foundation includes details of numerous important Clinical Studies that document the paramount importance of micronutrients and nutrition in maintaining optimum health.More...

Why did we not hear about these breakthroughs before? Therapies based upon the use of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and other naturally-occurring essential nutrients are of no interest to the pharmaceutical industry, because they cannot be patented.More...
