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

Subject: 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]
