This was sent to me this morning by a close friend. Doc and Zach, please check this out, and put your research monkeys to work on it, cause if this is true, shit I hope this isn't true.
THIS IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS. PLEASE TAKE ACTION!
Can you afford to pay $100/Month for each and every vitamin and
mineral supplement
you take?
Read this very important health message below and contact everyone in
the suggestions.
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
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, etc. =
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 protect our
freedom of choice. 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 (ADRs) 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 ADRs 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?
