Ban on Supplements in USA- June 2005!

[Guest guest]

Hi Sarah...

 

I completely understand your frustration... I did a google search

referencing IAHF and found this article- which is a reply to

Snopes.com who blew all of this off to " urban legend " . Which it

clearly isn't.

 

It seems from the small snippet of the article below that there are

no current bill numbers- at least as of Feb 2005. But that does not

mean the fight is over- truly it is taking place overseas and as

they say- it is not a " transparent process " . In other words- unlike

how a governmental procces should be- made for us to understand-

just the opposite is taking place. Hence some calls for us to

remove ourselves from the UN- as this is the way of globalization

and the loss of our National Sovereignty...

 

I still encourage writing your elected officals- not to give them

any peace or rest- just because they don't offer us bill numbers-

the process is still in the works- and I feel so should we.

 

For how to act internationally- that is beyond my scope of knowledge

right now- I would contact the IAHF and see what direction they

point you in... And if you would share with us... I will request on

S-A's behalf as well- but the more the better...

 

Hope that helps...

Bills proposing the regulation of dietary supplements are currently

before Congress: Not any more.

 

But look at this:

 

S.722 and HR 3377 have not yet been reintroduced, but they will be.

I know this from communications with Senator Durbin's office

(sponsor last congress of S.722) and Congresswoman Susan Davis'

office (HR 3377). Talk with Patricia Zabala in Davis' office. They

are in a process now of rewriting these bills, but they'll be back,

and we must remain vigilant regarding them. If you'd like to verify

what I'm saying, contact Durbin's and Davis's offices via 202-225-

3121 (Congressional Switchboard to reach any congressional office)

and talk with April Fulton in Durbin's office, and Patricia Zabala

in Davis' office. In any case, anyone who understands the Codex

issue realizes that the larger threat has always come from offshore

via our membership in the WTO and the process of globalization which

no one can deny is real.

 

…. there is a gross lack of transparency in the Codex process. I

know. I videotaped part of the CCNFSDU meeting in Berlin Germany

in '98 but was stopped by the Chair of the meeting and was forced to

turn my cam corder off. If I had not, at the very least they would

have confiscated my videotape, and if I had gone beyond what I had

already done to disrupt the meeting, I would have found myself in a

German jail cell on trumped up charges.

 

I digitized a portion of the videotape and it was up on the web for

a few years on a tripod site (a free hosting site) but tripod later

shut that site down. I still have the footage, but its not in

cyberspace at the current time. I was, however, thrown off the US

Delegation prior to the meeting in Berlin in 2000 by US Codex

Manager Dr. Ed Scarborough at the US Department of Agriculture who

is US Codex Manager at the US Codex Office- see details:

http://www.iahf.com/codex/20000603.html

 

I was thrown off the US Delegation just prior to the CCNFSDU meeting

in Berlin in 2000 due to efforts to be a whistleblower against

Yetley, the US Delegate to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and

Foods For Special Dietary Uses. The German government has

permanently banned my participation in Codex meetings even though I

am a licensed, accredited member of the press because of what

happened after the '98 meeting when I put my video footage on the

web showing them forcing me to shut my camcorder down.
