[sSRI-Research] Solemn Warning From Australia to the World.... Codex:

Its Not

Over Til the Fat Lady Sings...

 

IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Australia, Whats New, What to Do, All

Countries

 

IAHF List: Mike Bending in Australia http://www.paradigm-changes.com has a

solid health freedom website that people world wide, especially in Australia

and New Zealand should tune into.

 

I decided to pass along the solid report from him below.

 

The only things I'd like to add to what Mike says here is I just want to

remind you all that Australia has been tapped by Codex to generate a biased,

pharmaceutically funded white paper on supposed " scientific risk assessment "

prior to next years Codex meeting in Germany.

 

Dovetail that with the fact that the EU gets full status at Codex for the

first time next year and we have a recipe for disaster brewing which makes

it imperative that we all adopt the age old adage " The price of FREEDOM is

ETERNAL VIGILANCE. "

 

Gary Null apparently has been considering announcing a " Codex Victory " as a

result of the move away from RDAs to so called " scientific risk assessment "

at Codex. He's apparently been considering making this announcement on a

basis of having communicated with the FDA regarding thousands of collated,

cross references studies that he has in his extensive files which document

the extreme safety and efficacy of the use of dietary supplements for use in

the treatment of a slew of different medical conditions.

 

While I give Gary infinite credit for compiling this vast body of

information, and for letting the FDA know about it, I would urge Null and

others to exercise extreme caution about prematurely announcing any

" victories " - especially given the fact that the Pharma Cartel's takeover of

the natural products industry has been meticulously designed via in depth

Think Tank sessions involving the best and brightest PR minds in the world,

and it simply aint over " til the fat lady sings. "

 

Null needs to take especial note of the fact that Australia, which just

yanked 1600 totally safe supplement products off the market via the Pan

recall has been assigned the task by Herr Grossklaus at Codex of generating

a pharmaceutically funded, biased so called " white paper " on " scientific

risk assessment " re vitamins for next years meeting.

 

He also needs to take especial note of the fact that while the Aussie

Pharmawhores at TGA are busy engaging in this scam, IADSA is very busy

getting Canada and South America to harmonize to Australian law, and he

shouldn't lose sight of the fact that the EU gets full status for the first

time at next year's Codex meeting.... see http://www.iahf.com/iadsa

 

He best not lose sight of the fact that as goes the EU, so goes the world

due to how global harmonization has been set up with the EU being the global

blueprint. See my article at http://www.iahf.com/anh_lawsuit.html also in

the July issue of LE Mag at

http://www.lef.org/magazine/mag2003/2003_preprint_eu_01.html

 

Any announcement of Codex " Victory " right now would go directly against the

best interests of the health freedom movement on a whole and could kill the

Alliance for Natural Health's ongoing efforts to raise money for the lawsuit

to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive that we just barely got filed

in the nick of time.

 

After you read Bendings report below, I urge you to do a few things:

 

1. Make a donation to the ANH lawsuit at

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org (If you've already donated, please

donate some more and urge your friends to- its the only way to arrest the

global falling of the dominoes which threaten to destroy the supplement

industry world wide.)

 

2. Forward this email to more people and urge them to sign on to the IAHF

email distribution list at http://www.iahf.com In the near future Candace

and I will be turning IAHF into a membership organization, and we plan on

establishing chapters world wide.

 

3. Send an email to Gary Null c/o his producer, Paul DeRienzo

<pderienzo urging him to not prematurely announce a " victory "

that hasn't in fact occurred. (Null was considering sending out such an

announcement. I recently attempted indirectly to dissuade him from doing so,

but am not certain what his response has been because my contact who was

speaking with me about this has not yet gotten back to me.

 

To prematurely announce a " Codex victory " would grossly hamper our ongoing

efforts to help people connect all the dots, and it would hurt our efforts

to generate badly needed donations for the ANH lawsuit, which has huge

global importance. Unless we overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive, we

won't be able to kill the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products

Directive, or the Pharmaceuticals Directive. Hopefully Null can grasp the

importance of this having interviewed Rob Verkerk from ANH not long ago.

 

Perhaps Null should read this article from the Guardian newspaper in the UK

so that the full import of the European situation will sink more deeply into

his mind http://www.guardian.co.uk/weekend/story/0,3605,790733,00.html

 

To remind you, the EU's Pharmaceutical Directive turns anything with any

physiologic effect in the body into a drug. Also to remind you, the

globalists intend to create a carbon copy of the EU in our hemisphere called

the FTAA, Free Trade Area of the Americas. Furthermore, a tactic the Cartel

is using is to send out press releases via pharma controlled CRN announcing

a " victory " that they want us to all buy into, totally ignoring the fact

that the so called " scientific risk assessment " interjected into Codex in

'98 illegally by the FDA in complete violation of US law was actually very

bad science... and it was funded by pharmaceutical interests via the

National Academy of Science.

 

Null seems to have forgotten all of this. He should re-read the NAS Risk

Assessment paper and Dr.Rick Malter's rebuttal to it. Both can be seen at

http://www.iahf.com under NAS and Rebuttal. Malter's rebuttal was published

in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine, Second Quarter, 2000, Vol 15,

Number 2.

 

Please urge Null to send all his collated studies to Dr.Rob Verkerk at ANH

for use in the ANH lawsuit, that would be the best possible thing he could

do right now for the cause, but if he announces " Codex Victory " - he'll be

playing right into the Cartel's hands, and I'm sure he doesn't want to do

that.

" Paradigm Changes " <mike

The future of Australian health freedom - see Eve Hillary's article

Sun, 16 Nov 2003 12:40:32 +1100

 

 

 

Dear Fellow Concerned Health Advocate,

 

For those of you attending the Melbourne Health Forum (The future of

complementary Medicine) organised by the Australian Democrat's (Senator Lyn

Allison), then the information below will provide food for thought with

regards to this forum. If you are not attending then this information is

still imperitive. www.paradigm-changes.com/forum.htm

 

I have also attached a 22 page Adobe Acrobat file (pdf).This file contains

the research of one of Australia's more articulate and well versed health

writers, Eve Hillary. Eve has an incredible ability, being able to drill

into the heart of matters, she finds the connections that most overlook. If

any of our associations read Eve Hillary's article yet still remain inert

with regards to representing the future of Australian natural health then I

can only suggest organisational change or new associations that truly

represent members. In this article Eve clearly spells out the future dangers

faced by the natural health industry in Australia, yes our problems have

only just begun!

 

It isn't full of painted sunrises and flower soaked meadows as our

associations would have us believe. I would like to thank Eve for her

tireless work! I would suggest our associations put their full support

behind a practitioner called Jenny Bourke else in the

future they will have very few members to represent!

www.paradigm-changes.com/jenny.bourke.htm

 

It seems that there are also initiatives born to overturn Canada's

restrictive if not criminal health legislation, recently modelled around

Australian legislation (last June).

 

Please see: Dr.James Lunney, the member of the Canadian Parliament who

sponsored this recent bill C-420.

http://www.jameslunneymp.ca/news_detail.php?recordID=180 and

also Dr.James Lunney's speech explaining the need for C-420 which repeals

Canadian harmonization to Australia's outrageous supplement laws.

http://www.jameslunneymp.ca/speeches_detail.php?recordID=205

 

Australians should consider a similar bill which would then place natural

elements in a regulatory subclass of food rather than regulated as a drug as

they are now. All regulation and safety controls would still be in place

however millions of dollars of research and cost prohibitive trials would

not restrict consumer access.

 

It is interesting to note that Val Johanson, of ex-government, TGA employ,

now executive of the Australian Complementary Health Council seems to be

quietly jet setting around the world advising governments to harmonise with

Australian legislation. Johanson was instrumental in expelling the New

Zealand health body NNFA from the " IADSA " (International Alliance of

Dietary Supplement Associations) after the NNFA raised questions with

regards to conflict of interest. The executive of the IADSA is chaired by a

Pfizer pharmaceutical company adviser and ex-employee, Randy Dennin. Val

Johanson seems to be complicit and aligned with this Mr

Dennin. For more:

http://www.paradigm-changes.com/iadsa/IADSA.intro.htm

also http://www.iahf.com/iadsa Note that Dennin attempted to blast this info

out of cyberspace prior to the Expo East vitamin trade show in September,

forcing us to post it anew in multiple locations on the web as Pfizer

attempts to " cover its tracks. "

 

It is noteworthy that, presently in Canada, if a natural element displays

health providing properties it is required to be removed from sale until

many years and millions of dollars worth of pharmaceutical drug trials are

implemented. Is this the long term vision Val Johanson

has for Australia?

 

Val Johanson of the Australian Complementary Healthcare Council (CHC) was in

Rio at the recent IADSA conference where she seemed to misrepresented

herself as a rep of the Australian government, she is trying to get the

South American governments to harmonize to Australia, just as she is trying

to get Canada to do.

 

I reiterate that if we leave these issues to our natural health associations

then we can expect the same lack of leadership and political foresight that

has allowed this issue to become the monster it is today!

 

If you are a practitioner within Australia you will notice that many of our

associations believe this regulation is good for the industry, some even

champion it! At this same time our associations tell us this has no

connection with regards to international pharmaceutical

influence, agendas, and EU/WTO Codex legislation.

Please see http://www.paradigm-changes.com for more info.

 

I believe our associations in Australia need a shake up, are too naive, too

tired, too complacent, self absorbed or have other agendas (like the CHC).

Most of all they no longer seem to represent the natural health

practitioners best interests here in Australia.

 

Yours sincerely

Canada's C-420 Bill. Initiatives to repeal Canada's restrictive

harmonization to Australia's model.

 

Tony Stephan sent out a message of exuberance when C-420 passed Second

Reading. He was exuberant because its very rare for a private members bill

(that is a bill not introduced by one of the major parties) gets as far as

second reading, and that in and of itself is a victory of sorts, it seems.

 

It turns out that C-420 must now go for a Third Reading, and it must get

past the unelected Canadian Senate which is heavily controlled by Special

Interests, and it also turns out that Prime Minister Chretien is resigning,

there is going to be an election in February, and this current Parliament

could be dissolved before they can even hold a third reading, and if that

happens, we're back to " square one " and would have to get the bill

reintroduced all over again.....

 

Seems I have a lot more to learn about Canadian politics than I realized,

but I'll get there with help from Croft Woodruff and Peter Helgason both of

whom I spoke with about this this morning.

 

They're very excited about the new Canadian vitamin trade asociation they're

busy forming to counter the pharma dominated CHFA which just tried to pour

cold water all over C-420 via a very expensive legal analysis they just

wasted money on in an attempt to stop this bill which they don't want to see

pass because it would undo Herringer's nefarious efforts to herd the

supplement industry to the cliff on behalf of her Pharmaceutical Masters.

 

There is still a need regardless for people in the Australian Senate to

communicate about bill C-420 with Canadian MP Lunney who introduced the bill

because the Australian system is no good and must be changed in the

aftermath of the mindless Pan recall.

 

Val Johanson of the Australian vitamin trade association was in Rio at the

recent IADSA conference where she misrepresented herself as a rep of the

Australian government, and she is trying to get the South American

governments to harmonize to Australia, just as she is trying to get Canada

to do.

 

So we're by no means out of the woods yet, but in due time, we'll get there.

Stay tuned and sorry about any confusion I may have caused with my previous

message.
