We'll be discussing the Codex vitamin issue to help Americans,

Canadians, and people world wide to understand the issue clearly

and to learn how to fight back.

 

I'd especially like to encourage network marketers to tune in

who are working for either CRN member companies such as Mannatech,

Shaklee, Herbalife, Nu Skin, GNLD and also Direct Selling Assn

member companies that aren't members of CRN but are being

influenced (negatively) by this Pharma Dominated vitamin trade

association which is actively misleading them vis a vis the Codex

vitamin issue.

 

RESPONSE TO DISGRUNTLED MANNATECHER---- (Could Just as Easily Be

to ANY MLMer)

 

 

Today I was confronted by a Mannatech distributor who objected

to the mssg I sent out to the IAHF list yesterday (see

http://www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+334

 

This distributor told me that " By attacking Mannatech, I am

doing the same thing as Codex " etc, and that he was trying to help

me to " tone it down " so that Mannatech distributors would be able

to hear me " etc.

 

The problem is, this distributor had nothing to say about my

substantive POINTS which were included in the Point by Point

REBUTTAL I made to a statement of Mannatech CEO Sam Caster's as made

on a recent Mannatech " Leadership Call " .

 

I would like to make very clear that I am not attempting to hurt

the business of any Mannatech or other MLM distributor, I am

trying to HELP these people to TAKE ACTION against the FRONT

OFFICES of their companies because people like CASTER are badly

MISLEADING them on this codex vitamin issue. If you want to get

ANGRY

at someone, don't shoot me, I'm only the MESSENGER.

 

Its not MY fault that Mannatech and the other vitamin company

members of CRN have made the collosal MISTAKE of trusting a trade

association whose members include Bayer, BASF, Wyeth, Monsanto,

Pfizer and Cargill, but I have no CHOICE but to EXPOSE this

because CRN and all the OTHER vitamin trade associations are leading

the entire supplement INDUSTRY to the cliff.

 

One point this person who contacted me today tried to make

indicated to me that he is unable to make a distinction between the

GMP issue, and the Codex issue, and that Sam Caster of Mannatech

is skillfully attempting to BLUR these issues together so as to

CON his distributors into accepting CRN's spin.

 

To paraphrase Caster:

 

" Yes, changes are coming, but they're welcome. The new GMP regs

the FDA will be coming out with are going to drive a slew of bad

actors under, leaving us still standing with far more business.

The level playing field these new regs will usher in will help

our business immeasurably. "

 

This is undoubtedly a true statement as far as Mannatech is

concerned, however the PROBLEM arises when Caster fails to

DISTINGUISH between the purely DOMESTIC issue of new Good

Manufacturing

Practice regulations, and CODEX- which is an INTERNATIONAL issue

with huge DOMESTIC implications.....

 

Once again- please read yesterdays' mssg-

And help get this ACTION ALERT around to more people.... IAHF

needs donations for an upcoming lobbying trip to DC- Please help,

SAVE OUR SUPPLEMENTS!! NO TO CAFTA/FTAA!!

US Dietary Supplement Laws Threatened By Globalization!!

 

Consumer access to dietary supplements in the USA is being

threatened by illegal FDA actions at the UN Codex Alimentarius

Commission where the FDA has been working hard to create a

mindlessly

restrictive global trade standard for vitamins and minerals.

 

At the 28th General Session of the UN's Codex Alimentarius

Commission between July 4-9th 2005, barring a miracle, a very

restrictive global trade standard for vitamins and minerals will be

ratified. Codex standards can be imposed on the USA via membership

in the WTO and via regional harmonization through an expansion

of NAFTA via CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) and

FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas).

 

These trade agreements threaten to force the USA into a

hemispheric equivalent to the European Union.

 

WHY THIS IS NOT GOOD:

 

In the UK, despite over a million signatures on petitions

gathered in British health food stores opposing harmonization of UK

vitamin law to a mindlessly restrictive EU Food Supplement

Directive, the UK government told consumers " we don't care HOW MANY

signatures you get on your petition, the UK is a member of the EU,

and we're harmonizing to EU law, whether you like it or not!!! "

 

The SAME THING will happen in the US (and Canada) unless we KILL

CAFTA which is scheduled for a FAST TRACK VOTE in MAY. CAFTA

would plunge us down the slippery slope to the FTAA which threatens

to harmonize (make the same) all laws from the Artic Circle to

Tierra Del Fuego.

 

More than just our dietary supplement laws are being threatened

here. CAFTA and FTAA threaten the destruction of thousands of

American jobs as they'd be outsourced to the third world where

there is much cheaper labor just as happened via NAFTA, only this

would be MUCH WORSE.

 

CAFTA/FTAA threaten to totally DESTROY our country, this is a

direct attack on our sovereignty, but we CAN STOP IT!!

 

WHAT TO DO:

 

Send the form letter against CAFTA to your Senators and

Congressmen from these two websites:

http://www.stoptheftaa.org/ and

http://www.citizen.org/trade/cafta/

 

You can learn much more about this threat at both of these

sites, which between them cover the whole political spectrum. To

learn more about the Codex vitamin issue per se, visit

http://www.iahf.com where you can also sign up for the email

distribution list to learn more about this issue and how to fight

back.
