Details on ban on supplements coming in june 2005!

[Guest guest]

Hi! Please forward this to everyone you know, including other

groups. Also, call your local news stations. I called mine, and

received a call back from channel 4 in Detroit. They will be

investigating this story! Another idea is to print this out and

post it on the bulletin boards at your local health food stores such

as Whole Foods. Lastly, you should call or write to your state

representatives, congressman, and the president and vice president.

Sometimes it seems like things like this our out of our hands, but

if everyone reading this truly takes action, something can be done.

Let's try it this time and see if we truly can prevent this from

happening.

Banning Sales of Food Supplements Worldwide

 

If we don't act now, we have no right to complain afterwards. Act

now!

 

Read this very important health message below and contact everyone.

 

Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may

end in June of this year (2005). After that U.S. supplements will be

defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the

World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS

(Food Code) is setting the supplement standards for all countries in

the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and will override U.S.

laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to this take-over when

the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are punished by WTO trade

sanctions. CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs and

other food supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004 and

finalized " Step 8 (the final stage) " to begin implementation in

June '05.

 

The CODE includes:

 

(1) No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use.

 

(2) Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a " drug "

requiring a prescription and must be produced by drug companies.

Over 5000 safe items now in health stores will be banned,

terminating health stores as we now know them.

 

(3) CODEX regulations become binding internationally.

 

(4) New supplements are banned unless given very expensive

CODEX testing and approval.

 

CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where

zinc tablets rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient

immune-enhancement herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples

are now allowed by prescription only). They are now " drugs! "

Vitamin C above 200 mg, niacin above 32 mg, vitamin B6 above 4 mg

-all are banned over-the-counter as drugs. No essential amino acids

(arginine, lysine (used effectively for fever blisters), carnitine,

L-Tryptophan (used effectively for eliminating depression), GABA

(used effectively for eliminating anxiety), etc., Essential Fatty

Acids

(omegas 3, 6, 9, etc.), or other essential supplements such as

DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are allowed!

 

The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They are made

by a few people meeting in secret (see web sites below), not

necessarily scientists. In 1993 the FDA and drug corporations tried

to put all supplements under restriction and prescription. But over

4 million Americans told Congress and the President to protect

their freedom of choice on health supplements. The DSHEA Law

was passed in 1994, which does so. But this will be over ruled

by CODEX and the World Trade Organization!

 

Virtually nothing about it has been in the media. What the drug

corporations have failed to do through Congress they have gotten

by sneak attack through CODEX with the help of a silent media.

What can be done at this late hour?

 

(1) Spread the word as much as possible. Inform yourselves :

http://www.ahha.org

http://www.iahf.com

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org.

 

(2) Oppose bills S.722 and H.R.3377. These support the

CODEX restrictions with U.S. laws, changing the DSHEA law.

 

(3) Support H. R.1146 which would restore the sovereignty of

the U.S. Constitution over CODEX, etc.

 

 

(4) Express your wishes to the President, Senators and

Representatives (They got us into this!) ASAP.

 

(5) Contact multi-level health marketing groups that can get

their members to inform the government.

 

(6) Contact the British Alliance for Natural Health (see web site

above).

It has succeeded in challenging the CODEX directives in World Court

and will appear in court again later this month or next. They need

help

financially, having carried the fight effectively for everyone. CODEX

and

the FDA wish to " protect " us by controlling supplements in the same

way they do prescription drugs. A study of the latter by three

medical

scientists was reported in the Journal of the American Medical

Association, April 15, 1998 -Vol. 279, No. 15, p. 1200: " Incidence of

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR's) was found to be extremely high. "

Covering 30 years (1966 to 1996) it was found that in the U.S. an

average of 106,000 hospitalized patients per year (290 per day!!)

DIE from ADR's and 2,200,000 need more hospitalization for recovery!

These were FDA approved drugs, properly administered by competent

professionals in hospitals--none were considered malpractice. This

is the number four cause of death in the U.S. When combined,

these account for 7% of all hospitalized patients. This is equivalent

to a 9-11 attack every ten days. There are very few fatalities from

supplements or the news would be on every front page. There is no

need for more FDA control of supplements than is already in place,

which is substantial. Instead of drastically restricting supplements,

why doesn't the FDA better control, restrict the extremely

dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and require double-blind studies

of multiple Px interactions which are now killing us at the rate of

a major airline crash per day?

Do a LYCOS search for " codex alimentarius " and read all you

can...This thing is REAL BAD !

 

 

" We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the

stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases,

while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage

of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute

force. " [Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government]
