John Hammell of IAHF will take to the airwaves tomorrow morning at 7 am west

coast US time to disseminate this message further via Dr.Stan Monteith's Radio

Liberty on American Freedom Network http://www.americanewsnet.com/radio.htm

Please tune in via the web and urge more people to. Thats 7 am west coast US

time (til 8 am), 8am-9am mountain time, 9am-10am midwest time, 10 am-11 am east

coast time, 3pm-4pm English time, 4pm-5pm Europe time,other parts of the world

calculate accordingly.

 

In the July issue of Life Extension Magazine, we reported on the Alliance for

Natural Health’s (ANH’s) all important lawsuit to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive

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

 

At that time we were in a feverish rush to generate sufficient donations to get

this lawsuit filed, which we barely succeeded in doing. The lawsuit has almost

no support from the dietary supplement industry due to pharmaceutical interests

controlling the vitamin trade associations from the top-down.

 

ANH will be in the British courts for oral arguments on January 30th, and your

urgent support is of dire importance. The future survival of the dietary

supplement industry world wide is literally on the line. Please make your most

generous donation to ANH via their secure server at

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

If ANH prevails in the British court, they win the right to take their case to

the European Court of Justice at the Hague.

 

PHARMA DOMINATED VITAMIN TRADE ASSOCIATIONS

OPPOSE ANH LAWSUIT & THREATEN TO DESTROY HEALTH FREEDOM

 

In September, at the Expo East Vitamin Trade Show, Alliance for Natural Health

representative Maury Silverman was thrown out of a meeting of the Joint

International Committee of the National Nutritional Foods Association and of the

American Herbal Products Association by Chairman Randy Dennin because he had

been circulating copies of the aforementioned article about the ANH lawsuit from

Life Extension Magazine.

 

Silverman was thrown out of the room because my article exposes IADSA

(International Alliance of Dietary Supplement Associations) as a controlled

opposition group led by Randy Dennin, who was an employee of Pfizer until his

“retirement” in September. Dennin’s retirement was announced in Functional Foods

and Nutraceutical’s magazine just before Expo East.

 

Also just before Expo East, the IADSA EXPOSED website, which used to be at

http://iadsa-exposed.tripod.com was mysteriously removed from cyberspace,

presumably by Dennin attempting to cover his tracks. Tripod is a free hosting

service and will remove any website based on any complaint, without telling the

person who put the site up that it is being removed. The information formerly on

the Tripod site has been restored to cyberspace at http://www.iahf.com/iadsa and

to several other mirror sites.

 

When Dennin was challenged to respond to the information contained in this site,

he did not reply. [see http://www.iahf.com/dennin/20030910.html ]

 

When ANH rep Silverman was thrown out of this meeting, reprint articles about

the ANH lawsuit and copies of ANH’s materials were also removed from the

literature table in the back of the room by Peter Sofrinoux, editor of

Functional Foods and Nutraceuticals Magazine- working on behalf of Dennin.

 

SUPPLEMENT INDUSTRY BEING SET UP FOR CODEX ANNHILATION

 

At next year’s Codex meeting in Bonn Germany, the European Union will go from

observer status to having full status, for the first time- just as they are

expanding from 15 to 25 nations in size.

 

Already, Basil Mathoudakis, the EU’s observer (and the man who drafted the EU

Food Supplement Directive which ANH hopes to overturn in court) wields far more

power than anyone else at Codex. At this year’s meeting, Scott Tips, JD, Legal of the National Health Federation observed Dr.Grossklaus (the German

Chair of Codex) make every single change requested by Mathoudakis. Tips reports

that the text of the Codex vitamin standard is becoming closer and closer to the

text of the EU Food Supplement Directive.

 

Clearly, the writing is on the wall. If ANH does not get sufficient donations

necessary to sustain their all important legal challenge to the EU Food

Supplement Directive, we won’t be able to stop the Cartel’s momentum at Codex.

 

ANH has also been the only group attempting to lobby the EU Parliament in

opposition to the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive, and the

Pharmaceuticals Directive. This last Directive threatens to turn any substance

with any physiologic effect in the body into a “drug” to trump anything that

makes it through the first two directives.

 

Vitamin company members of CRN have been dissuaded by CRN from supporting the

ANH lawsuit. CRN has conned these companies into believing that there is “no

need” for the lawsuit, saying that the supplement industry has won a “victory”

at this year’s Codex meeting.

 

Those reports are grossly deceptive, and do not reflect what actually took

place. CRN’s press release titled “Codex Committee Backs Science Based Safety

Standards for Vitamins and Minerals- Breaks Eight Year Stalemate” can be seen

here http://www.crnusa.org/shellnr110403.html

 

SUPPLEMENT INDUSTRY BEING MANIPULATED VIA HEGELIAN DIALECTIC

 

The only “victory” which can truthfully be said to have taken place at Codex

this year was won by the pharmaceutical companies that dominate CRN: Bayer,

BASF, Pfizer, Monsanto, Wyeth, and others.

 

These companies are skillfully using the Hegelian Dialectic to put the vitamin

companies in CRN asleep on the Codex issue. The Hegelian Dialectic works like

this:

 

Thesis + Antithesis = Synthesis

 

To put it another way: Problem + Reaction = “Solution”

 

Translated into this example, here is whats going on:

 

First, we have the pharma generated PROBLEM (threat of regulation to RDA levels

for potency).

 

The Problem is put forth in order to elicit a desired public REACTION (Fear of

regulation to RDA levels.)

 

This climate of FEAR is necessary to usher in a preplanned “Solution” which can

be “spun” to SEEM like the “ANSWER”- when in reality, all it actually was was a

desired political outcome held all along by the pharmaceutical industry which

realized from the start that they could never con the American supplement

industry into accepting regulation to RDA levels, so what they had to do was

PRETEND to create “scientific risk assessment” (which wasn’t in FACT scientific

at all) in order to generate so called “SUL”s or “Safe Upper Levels” of

allowable vitamin potency that aren’t much better than the RDAs! (In a consensus

based process such as Codex, they cannot drive a standard through to completion

if a country as large as the USA opposes it, so they must engage in DECEPTION to

get what they want.)

 

The lack of science in the EU and Codex “SUL”s was totally exposed in an article

by Alan Gaby, MD in an article titled “Safe Upper Levels” for Nutritional

Supplements: One Giant Step Backward which was published in the Journal of

Orthomolecular Medicine, Third and Fourth Quarter 2003. This issue of JOM is a

special issue focusing on the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements, and it

includes an editorial by Abram Hoffer, MD who condemns “SUL”s as totally

unscientific.

 

The FDA is echoing CRN’s assertion that we have won a “victory” at Codex, and

the threat is very real that unless ANH wins their lawsuit to overturn the EU

Food Supplement Directive- that a finalized vitamin standard could be driven

through to completion at next year’s Codex meeting.

 

Pharmaceutically dominated CRN and IADSA both realize the truth of this, and are

doing everything humanly possible to kill support for the ANH lawsuit to

overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive.

 

HARMONIZATION PRESSURES MOUNT WORLD WIDE

 

Last Spring the Australian TGA yanked 1600 safe dietary supplements off the

market under false pretenses without a single product assay to prove

contamination. Health food stores and vitamin companies are being driven out of

business in Australia as a result of the Pan recall, in which Australia’s

largest supplement manufacturer was targeted for destruction by the TGA. Pan was

driven into bankruptcy under false pretenses. They were manufacturing some OTC

drugs including a motion sickness drug called Travacalm which included

dimenhydranate as its active ingredient. Dimenhydranate has been documented to

cause hallucinations and other toxic side effects.

 

The TGA’s reaction to a problem caused by Pan’s Travacalm product was to yank

Pan’s manufacturing site license in order to shut them down and to generate a

media circus against the natural products industry.

 

A more reasonable response would have been to pull products from all

manufacturers containing dimenhydranate off the market.

 

The TGA is using the Pan recall as an excuse to tighten their already overly

stringent regulations against the dietary supplement industry to further

increase red tape in order to drive still MORE dietary supplement products from

the shelves.

 

Codex has handed Australia the task of generating a supposed “white paper” on

“scientific risk assessment” for dietary supplements to next year’s meeting in

Bonn.

 

Can you see the writing on the wall? This is a pitched battle. We can’t stop

Codex AT Codex- the entire process is totally unscientific and undemocratic. We

can only stop codex INDIRECTLY outside of Codex- and right now our best chance

of stopping Codex stems through making donations to the Alliance for Natural

Health to assist them with their lawsuit and ongoing lobbying in the EU

Parliament against the Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive and the

Pharmaceuticals Directive.

 

As goes the EU, so goes the world. The world’s ruling elite are working overtime

to create carbon copies of the EU Dictatorship in all hemispheres as a prelude

to forcing us into a global totalitarian state. In the western hemisphere,

they’re attempting to reach this goal by forcing us into the Free Trade Area of

the Americas. This would harmonize all the laws between Canada, the US, Central

and South America.

 

On June 18th, 2003, Canada illegally harmonized their vitamin laws to

Australia’s draconian laws. Can you see the writing on the wall yet?

 

Please support the Alliance for Natural Health’s lawsuit to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive via their secure server at

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

 

If ANH fails to get sufficient donations to carry on their legal and lobbying

efforts on behalf of us all, you will witness the complete destruction of the

dietary supplement industry.

 

ANH has retained the best law firm in the European Union to handle their case.

We CAN win- but NOT without your help, due to pharmaceutical penetration of the

supplement industry which has kept the industry from supporting this lawsuit.

Please make your most generous donation via ANH's secure server

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and urge more people to do the same.

 

Just because you can get anything you want in an American health food store

doesn't mean you will always be able to. Just ask the people of Australia who

had 1600 safe products yanked from the shelves under false pretenses in the past

year.

 

The takeover arrayed against us was designed by the best and brightest PR minds

on the planet. It was designed to be incremental, very gradual and methodical

because the last thing they want is to trigger a public backlash. They're

skillfully using controlled opposition groups against us to keep the wool pulled

over the eyes of health food stores and vitamin companies world wide.

 

IADSA is doing a great job of confusing industry people who have bought into the

illusion that IADSA is " fighting back " in their interests- but the non truth of

this was clearly brought out in September when IADSA Chair Randy Dennin threw

ANH rep Maury Silverman out of a meeting of the Joint International Committee of

NNFA and AHPA in Washington DC at Expo East.

 

We CAN overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive- it IS doable- we have the best

lawfirm in the EU working with us, but donations are urgently needed. Without

them, the supplement industry doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of

surviving. Only ANH and allied groups are fighting back. We're heavily

outnumbered by the pharma dominated vitamin trade associations, but we're very

determined.

 

Please forward this widely and make your most generous donation to ANH via

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and forward this to more people. Please

listen to the radio show tomorrow and urge more people to-especially health food

store owners and vitamin company ceos who have been conned by their pharma

dominated trade associations into thinking Codex is a " non issue. "
