I do not know if you take vitamins or not. Our right to have vitamins has been in jeopardy for a long time, it looks like we are in trouble. I would say that the Pharmaceutical companies are looking for a grand slam and it is getting delivered to them. I would say that along with a lot of other situations it is time or past time for us to stick together, our country is not the same countery it was say 10 yrs ago. We should not have anything to worry about, we have the constitution, the bill of rights along with a lot of other words that should asure us of our rights, but here we go, my great grandmother used herbs, now they are going to try to get them, vitamins and their potency is in trouble. This is serious and we had all better come together as a group, sharon

So its no longer a draft guideline, its now international law. They put the cart before the horse and finalized a FRAMEWORK, intending to use JUNK SCIENCE to fill in the blanks on allowable potencies for vitamins and minerals next November at the CCNFSDU meeting in Bonn Germany.As IAHF predicted, there was nary a whimper of protest coming from US Delegate Ed Scarbrough, the same guy who threw me off the US Codex Delegation in 2000 when I requested he remove Dr.Yetley of the FDA citing evidence that she'd violated US law at Codex meetings in '96 and in '98. When I requested he remove her as US Delegate, instead, he did HER bidding and removed ME because it made Yetley uncomfortable that I was trying to put her under a congressional microscope.The USA is being set up for harmonization to this Codex guideline via the Sanitary Phytosanitary Measures Agreement (SPS) which is contained within the WTO Trade Agreement. Article 3 of SPS in the WTO trade agreements says: "To harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as possible, Members SHALL base their food safety measures on international standards, guidelines or recommendations."CAFTA and FTAA would broaden and deepen the scope of the SPS Agrement, forcing harmonization to Codex upon the USA.CAFTA contains SPS language in Article 6 which would force the USA to create an SPS Committee as we've entered into an agreement to engage in a constant process of harmonizing our laws to international law.CAFTA has passed the House Ways and Means Committee, and the Senate, and when congress reconvenes on July 11th, it could be sent to the floor of the House literally any time after they come back. The Washington Post has indicated that the vote in the House could be decided by a margin of one single vote.John HammellInternational Advocates for Health Freedom"For the health of it!"<http://www.spicewilliams.com/>http://www.SpiceWilliams.comhttp://www.Spice-Of-Life.com
