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. ---Duncan Crow--- Small Business $15K Web Design Giveaway - Enter today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
