Banning Sales of Food Supplements Worldwide
If we don't act now, we have no right to complain afterwards. Please
act now!!!
Please read the very important health message below and contact
everyone you can think of.
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 DMAE, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are not
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 :

(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 dea!
th 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 REALLY, R E A L L Y BAD !
