Please go to http://www.naturopathic-retreat.com/radio-show-

archive.htm and listen to the archived June 1 show. Fast Forward to

17:24 and listen to the last half of the show when Dr.Taams

interviewed Dr.Ken McIver from the New Zealand Charter of Alternative

Health Practitioners.

 

Vitamin consumers world wide must take NOTICE of the health freedom

war raging in New Zealand, because this is a microcosm of what the

whole WORLD faces due to CODEX, and it SHOULD serve as a WAKE UP CALL

to spur more people in the USA especially to pay attention to IAHF's

and ANH's message.

 

THE RUMBLE DOWN UNDER

HOW THE PHARMA CARTEL IS TRYING TO DESTROY HEALTH FREEDOM IN NEW

ZEALAND

( & AROUND THE WORLD)

 

Totally against the wishes of the New Zealand people, Health Minister

Annette King signed the Joint Therapeutic Treaty (JTA) with Australia

which would create a joint regulatory authority over dietary

supplements in both countries.

 

The New Zealand Parliament could vote on ratifying this TREATY at ANY

TIME, and New Zealanders are buy sending emails, faxes, and letters

in to MPs from the ruling Labor Party to let them know that if they

vote to ratify JTA that they'll be VOTED OUT OF OFFICE.

 

[New Zealanders: Utilize this ACTION PLAN to FIGHT BACK:

http://www.healthcharter.org.nz/health_freedom_plan.doc

 

THE AWFUL DETAILS

 

Under JTA- Any substance, with any physiologic effect in the body

would be regulated as a " medicine " (harmonizing New Zealand's liberal

food based supplement regs with Australia's mindless regulatory

regime.)

 

 

During the first 9 years of the Australian TGA's existence- only 2

new dietary supplement products were approved by the TGA for public

consumption, and in the past 3 years, the TGA has only approved 6

more products. Registration and Compliance fees can go as high as

$50,000. per product.

 

Under the JTA- most American supplement manufacturers would be shut

completely out of the New Zealand market, and the only companies

allowed to do business there would be the 6-10 companies currently

registered with the Australian TGA.

 

If ratified, the JTA Treaty will put 96,000 New Zealanders currently

employed in the dietary supplement industry and as naturopaths out of

business.

 

It will cause 6,000 safe dietary supplement products to be BANNED.

 

Under the terms of the Treaty, New Zealand would be obligated to pay

30% of the costs associated with the running of this Joint Regulatory

Body (even though New Zealand has only 20% of the population of

Australia.)

 

When queried by Dr.Taams as to what this situation represents- McIver

stated that it is a full scale ATTACK against the naturopathic

profession, and against consumer rights to access the dietary

supplement of their choice.

 

When asked if he thinks the New Zealand situation should serve as a

WAKE UP CALL to America and the rest of the world- McIver said " Most

definitely " and stated that unless people pull their heads out of the

sand regarding the CODEX issue, we're all going to have one very

draconian set of supplement regulations emanating from the UN's Codex

Alimentarius Commission.

 

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

 

Currently, over 50% of the traffic to the Alliance for Natural

Health's website is Americans, but ANH has only received 2% of their

total donations from America.

 

This indicates to me that most Americans are either totally ASLEEP on

this issue, or they're in DENIAL and are taking the view that whats

happening in New Zealand and in Europe " couldn't happen here. "

 

Not only is this FALSE, but the FDA has ALREADY SET US UP for

harmonization to a MINDLESSLY RESTRICTIVE emerging global trade

standard which the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission could finalize

this coming November.

 

The Congressional Oversight hearing that I pushed for for 5 years was

WHITEWASHED on March 20, 2001. I and my witnesses were not allowed to

speak. The only person who WAS allowed to speak lied under oath and

regurgitated what he was told to say Randy Dennin, an employee of

Pfizer, who is adroitly leading the American supplement industry to

the CLIFF via IADSA, a controlled opposition group. [ see

This week I just sent an alert to hundreds of alternative

practitioners belonging to ICIM, International Council of Integrative

Medicine, but still have not heard back from their President and only

3 members of this organization have communicated with me wanting to

help.

 

This is indicative of how asleep the American people regarding the

fact that the FDA has set us up to lose in a WTO Trade Dispute via

which our supplement laws WILL be harmonized to an emerging Codex

standard that threatens to be every bit as mindless as the hammer

thats coming down on New Zealand.

 

I need everyone on this list to actively download these two articles

and to get them out to every health food store, alternative

practitioner, and supplement manufacturer you can:

http://www.thehealthcrusader.com/pgs/article-0104-ban.shtml

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2003/2003_preprint_eu_01.htm

 

These articles will help more people connect the dots on this

incremental stealth agenda.

 

The only way we can monkeywrench what is unfolding is to support the

Alliance for Natural Health's lawsuit to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive. The articles above fully explain why.

 

We CAN win this battle. We MUST- if you read this report DEATH BY

MEDICINE

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2004/mar2004_awsi_death_01.htm you

will see that the LEADING CAUSE OF DEATH in America today is the use

of prescription drugs.

 

We're up against a GENOCIDE AGENDA, and far too many people think

that just because they can go into a health food store now and buy

anything they want, that it will always be this way.

 

People BETTER AWAKEN to the fact that the USA now belongs to the WTO,

and the WTO has a new International Court called the Dispute

Settlement Body which is a mickey mouse court which has ALREADY

FORCED the US Congress to change our laws, under the threat of

imposing massive trade sanctions against broad sectors of our society.

 

In the articles above, you will see exactly HOW the FDA has set the

USA up for the COMPLETE DESTRUCTION of our vitamin laws.

 

You will see that my biggest opponents in bringing this information

out has been the Pharma Dominated vitamin trade associations-

especially IADSA, a controlled opposition group.

 

This is a TRUE grass roots campaign. I need to know what YOU are

doing to help, so please let me know. Let me KNOW if you have the EAR

of any vitamin companies, health food stores, or alternative

practitioners.

 

I would be GLAD to do a conference call with you and anyone helpful

that you can put me in touch with.
