Got this very important message from Duncan in onte of the groups were in.

Please Read:

 

************************************************************

In August 2005 everything in Europe is about to change

due to the EU Food Supplements Directive (FSD). Banned

items will include natural vitamins such as mixed

tocopherols (natural vitamin E), carotenoids and b-12

methylcobalamin, all forms of sulphur, boron, vanadium,

silicon and most trace elements, the most readily

absorbed and safest forms of calcium, magnesium, zinc,

selenium, chromium and molybdenum. It will severely

limit the doses of vitamins and will remove all

high-dose products from the market. It will include

future restrictions on nutrients such as fatty acids,

amino acids, enzymes, probiotics, phytonutrients, etc.

The directive will dramatically limit future innovation

in the supplements industry, and seriously impact

retail outlets, complementary practitioners and

consumers who choose to take responsibility for their

own health and let food be their medicine.

 

Here, again, is where it affects us: the draconian EU

Directive goes far beyond denying most Europeans access

to safe nutritional supplements; it is about to be used

as the blueprint for establishing international dietary

supplement laws at Codex, which our government in its

questionable wisdom has made us part of. Codex will

outlaw or severely restrict virtually everything

millions of us have grown accustomed to using safely

every day. National borders don't mean much anymore; we

are witnessing the rapid unification of the world into

a new global government with Europe at the helm. When

the World Trade Organization (WTO) was given teeth to

enforce international trade laws in the early 1990s,

all WTO member nations agreed to harmonize their trade

laws to new international laws so every nation operates

by the same set of standards. Since then, every single

ruling that the WTO has made has gone against the

environment, against the public health, against

consumer rights, against labor rights, and against

human rights. Although activists protested against the

WTO, most people were unaware that it would eventually

lead to an incremental attack on all of our food

supplements around the world. Most supplement companies

have simply gone along with the advice from their

pharmaceutically dominated trade associations.

 

Germany, the largest pharmaceutical manufacturing

nation on earth, currently dominates the EU which hosts

the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods For Special

Dietary Use, and is leading the charge to railroad our

dietary supplement laws into international

harmonization. The European Union is the blueprint by

which our would-be rulers intend to form a global

totalitarian state. What they're doing with the EU is

their first project; they're trying to make and control

similar regional trading blocks all over the world. For

example, they're trying to create the Free Trade Area

of the Americas (FTAA) through which they're trying to

harmonize the laws between Canada, the U.S., Mexico,

and Central and South America.

 

The Alliance for Natural Health (ANH), a consumer

advocacy group based in Britain, was recently granted

the green light to challenge the Food Supplements

Directive at the last minute; however, very rarely has

a EU Directive ever been overturned and in this case,

it would be a historic event considering the

pharmaceutical interests backing its implementation.

Resources are very scarce but they've got to keep the

lawsuit going to overturn the Directive before it's too

late. They've hired a top legal staff and they are

girded for battle in a EU Court. With the EU expanding

by ten more nations in early 2004 to a combined total

of twenty-five member nations, and with heavy pressure

to finalize a Codex vitamin standard, the situation is

critical. If the FSD is not overturned now, with

Europe's ever-expanding power it's very possible that

there will be enough countries onboard to overrule the

protests of the few countries at Codex, where many

parts of the FSD will be used when new international

vitamin laws are codified. Once a Codex vitamin law is

finalized, it will supercede any member country's

supplement laws. The only way for a country to truly

protect its vital interest on this and other matters is

to get out of the U.N. and the WTO entirely, a 'best

case' scenario that nobody realistically sees

happening.

 

In the 21st century we live under siege. There are

concerns about pesticides, herbicides, antibiotics, GM,

mobile phones, microwaves, amalgam fillings, falling

sperm counts, mad cows, MMR - even milk. Farmed salmon

is a Trojan horse for carcinogens. Obesity and diabetes

are on the march. There is a mass of documentation on

all this. So what is the European Commission's big

idea? 'Let's clamp down on vitamins and minerals.'

 

In order to prevent a sinister one-world government

from mining people as the resource, usurping our

natural freedoms and dictating our moves, we must pony

up and donate to the ANH so they can make a decent

legal presentation; if we don't do it for ourselves,

how about our grandchildren and the rest of society? Go

online to www.alliance-natural-health.org and make a

donation. Or suffer.
