The Worldwide Plot To Steal Your Vitamins

RX FOR CONTROL

While you've been focusing on how the ubiquitous " they " are

moving to take away your guns, you may have been missing

the effort to take away your vitamins.

 

I kid you not. At the rate it's going, before too long,

vitamins will have been deemed almost as dangerous as

your .38.

 

The pharmaceutical industry just can't abide the billions

you're spending on vitamins and supplements. They want a piece

of the action. When you opt for SAMe instead of Prozac, it

costs them money. When you decide vitamin C is a low-cost,

side-effect-free option for treatment or prevention of stomach

ulcers, gastric cancer, cardiovascular disease, cataracts,

asthma, heavy metal toxicity, high cholesterol and blood

pressure* (the list goes on) they lose money.

 

Something must done. Something IS being done!

 

Maybe you've noticed the uptick in frequency of news stories

that say " Supplements: researchers warn against excessive

doses " ( The Oregonian, 7/9/03).

 

So far we've been warned about : St John's Wort, Vitamin C,

Kava, Ephedra, Creatine and more. Sources will point to the

death of someone known to have taken a supplement and then pin

it on that. Liver failure? Must've been the Kava - remember

that scenario?

 

Cleveland Clinic scientist Dr. Marc Penn, who directed a

Lancet study says taking anything beyond a multivitamin could

be dangerous. He warns of the " unexpected consequences " of

taking higher doses of any vitamin. I always get such a kick

out of these guys who warn us about taking too much vitamin E

but don't seem to have a problem with the fact that over

100,000 people a year in the U.S. die from adverse drug

reactions - from FDA approved drugs- that is. (And those are

just the folks who succumbed in a hospital. The statistic is

much higher if you include all those who got sick and died at

home from drug reactions.) The government's RDA for vitamin C

is a puny 90 mg a day for an adult male.

 

Researcher Linus Pauling proved that 200 milligrams is good,

but 5 GRAMS is better! That's thousands of times the " RDA "

and there are no side effects (save maybe a touch of diarrhea).

Try doing THAT with a pharmaceutical.

 

You'd be dead. Still, the federally-funded anti-vitamin

" studies " keep coming. Last week we got a dose of just how

scary vitamin E can be.

 

With the deficit running as high as it is, kinda makes you

say " hmmmmmm, wonder why the feds are spending all our money

on these 'vitamins are bad' studies? "

 

I'll let you in on a little secret. One you won't hear

reported on the nightly news. The push is on to bring the

United States into compliance with what our friends across

the pond are doing.

 

The E.U. cooked up something called the " Directive On

Supplements " which is a template for regulating vitamins.

 

It's because of something called CODEX ALIMENTARIUS. It's a

scheme devised in 1962 by two U.N. organizations (The Food

and Agriculture Organization {FAO} and The World Health

Organization {WHO} ). It's touted as " an international

mechanism for promoting the health and economic interests of

consumers " The insidious work is done by committees in member

countries, including our own.

 

The website for the U.S. Codex Commission warns: " This is the

only official website of the Codex Commission. Unofficial

websites using similar domain names exist " . They say that be-

cause if you type in " Codex " you'll get a lot of internet sites

that will tell you things they'd rather you didn't know. Simply

put, Codex would require the US (because we're members of WHO,

for starters) to " standardize' vitamin and mineral supplements.

So that here in the U.S. we wouldn't have supplements with

higher levels of vitamins or minerals than the folks in Europe,

for instance. It seems the same organization (WHO) - on a

mission to make the world smoke-free-(for a healthier world

populace) is simultaneously pushing to curb the widespread use

of known, health- supporting, natural remedies.

 

The U.S. Codex proposal says that only doctors or health

professionals should " advise " on the use of supplements. Would

this mean prescription-only vitamins and supplements? Sounds

like a good way to cut the medical/pharmaceutical cartel in on

the deal. You'll be encouraged to swallow the Codex line on

" safety " , as well. The argument will be that now you, the

consumer can be assured of " safe " , " effective " " standardized "

ingredients.

 

Want my advice? Don't think you'll never live in a country

that regulates which vitamins you can take. It's headed that

way. Remember I told you so when you glance at the next news

headline about how such and such vitamin is a health threat or

has been " proven " to be ineffective. In the meantime, call your

U.S. representatives and tell them it's time to disembowel

CODEX ALIMENTARIUS.

 

You'll feel better in the morning.
