This warning is now showing up on all the
alternative medicine lists--it
sounds very real and if it is we in the US had
better get busy fast.

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 over
ride 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
supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004
and finalized
"Step 8 (the final stage)" to begin
implementation in June, 2005.
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 amino acids
(arginine, lysine,
carnitine, et c. = essential amino acids!),
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 fully at
www.ahha.org, www.iahf.com, and
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) Send donations, however small, to the British
Alliance for
Natural Health (see web site above). It has
succeeded in challenging
the CODEX directives in World Court 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 and restrict the extremely dangerous
pharmaceutical drugs
which are now killing us at the rate of a major
airline crash per
day?
