[APFN] Vitamin Supplements Banned All Across Europe -- U.S. Not Far

Behind?

VITAMIN SUPPLEMENTS BANNED ALL ACROSS EUROPE

Now that medical evidence repeatedly proves the effectiveness of vitamin

supplements, you may no longer get a chance to use them.

Over-the-counter high-potency vitamins are no longer obtainable throughout an

entire continent, reports CBN News (March 14, 2002). Lawmakers across Europe,

including the United Kingdom, have decided among themselves to hand the

pharmaceutical industry a medical monopoly that drastically restricts access to

nutritional supplements. The new law means you can only buy nutrients tableted

at or near RDA levels, and nothing of higher potency, unless you have a doctor's

prescription. CBN's editorial opinion was that pharmaceutical companies and

governments are conspiring together to take megavitamins away from the people,

because megavitamins work so well against disease that people are not using

pharmaceutical drugs.

This carefully calculated, profit-driven maneuver is known as the " CODEX, " a

multi-national attempt to " harmonize " food laws among all nations. The problem

is that the " harmonization " has resulted in LOWERING every nation's legal

supplement potency limits to the ridiculously low levels in countries such as

Germany. Germany is home to some of the largest, most powerful pharmaceutical

companies on earth.

The United States is the next target for " harmonization, " and make no mistake

about it.

" FDA " STANDS FOR " FAVORS DRUGS ALWAYS. "

The US Food and Drug Administration certainly isn't worried about any of this,

since the FDA itself has a well-established history of seeking drastic

regulations to limit your access to vitamins and other nutritional supplements.

When asked, FDA just pats your head and sweetly says that " CODEX is not going to

take vitamins away from ANY American. "

You can tell FDA that we've heard it all before. It took the Proxmire Amendment

to stop the FDA from making supplements prescription in 1976. It took all of

Congress to pass federal legislation, the Dietary Supplement Education Act, to

stop FDA from making supplements prescription in 1994.

Now, it will take YOU to stop CODEX. Why? Because the pharmaceutical cartel' s

strategy is to go over the heads of the Congress of the United States, by way of

international lawmaking.

You don't think that can be done? But that's exactly what DID just happen to

Britain. I suspect that the British people did not want to give up their

supplements. But they are gone, none the less.

We must not lose the freedoms that we value so much, and this includes the

freedom to get well. Congress CAN pass legislation that specifically prohibits

oppressive international law from governing the United States.

Please speak out now, while you can: write to your representative, your senator,

and your local newspaper. With the Internet, it is easier than ever. Visit

either http://congress.org/ or http://www.talktogov.com/ to email Congress.

Use any 'net search engine to find your newspaper's email address. At

http://doctoryourself.com/write_now.html you will find my famous " three-sentence

letter " writing hints.

What would it be like to live in a country where handguns are legal and a bottle

of 1,000 mg vitamin C tablets isn't? CODEX's prescription for your vitamins will

let you find out.

I've been encouraging people to e-mail health-food market chains, etc., or

talk directly to managers in these markets, asking them to explain why they

all appear unwilling to do anything to arouse the concern of their clientele

over Codex Alimentarius. I

I receive many catalogs and other pitches from supplement mail order

companies. Not one of them has said a word, alerting customers, about

Codex.

Very strange.
