Outline With Bullet Points Delineates Extreme Importance of Donating to

ANH Lawsuit

IAHF List: If you swing a sledgehammer at a slab of concrete long enough, you'll

start seeing cracks.

 

I'm going to Seattle in an hour to meet with Thomas Dorman, MD, Director of the

Paracelsus Center http://www.paracelsusclinic.com/ See this clinic website, and

especially re Paracelsus

http://www.paracelsusclinic.com/paracelsus.asp and be INSPIRED by how this brave

man overcame the elements of coersion of his era.

Also see this website of Dr.Dorman's http://www.dormanpub.com re his newsletter:

" Fact, Fiction and Fraud in Modern Medicine " Please - this man is

really trying hard to help us with our cause.

 

See the email I just sent to Dr.Dorman and several other alternative MDs who are

helping us with this effort. We're trying to organize a catalytic program to be

held in Seattle. The message below contains an Outline which details the extreme

global importance of donating to the ANH lawsuit to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive- documenting the mechanism by which the FDA has set the USA

up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute.

 

One thing I forgot to mention in it is that Congressman Ron Paul has introduced

a bill (HR4118 American Justice for American Citizens Act) that would make it

illegal for Judges to base legal decisions on foreign court cases. See that at

http://thomas.loc.gov

 

The fact that this is going on at all should tell you something. America no

longer exists except on paper. We are already in a global totalitarian state and

have zero protection under our laws which is why we have no choice but to help

ANH with their lawsuit in the European Court of Justice. We CAN win, Brick Court

Chambers is the only lawfirm to ever succeed in overturning an EU Directive-

they established the case law for doing this and they feel that the EU Food

Supplement Directive is blatantly illegal under EU law.

 

PLEASE READ THIS VERY CAREFULLY, PRINT IT OUT AND BRING IT TO YOUR ALTERNATIVE

MD, YOUR LOCAL HEALTH FOOD STORE & PUT THEM IN TOUCH WITH IAHF- URGE THEM TO

SIGN ONTO THE IAHF LIST AT http://www.iahf.com Please urge them to donate to the

ANH lawsuit via http://www.alliance-natural-health.org Please---- forward this

MASSIVELY- the life you save could be YOUR OWN.

Dear Dr.s Corsello, Dorman, Dean, Carley, and Plumlee:

 

The fate of millions of people LITERALLY rests in our hands right now. I am

working with Leanne Wylet from Patients for Alternative Medicine, to organize a

catalytic program in Seattle ASAP. We will get Dr. Rob Verkerk over from England

to give a Power Point presentation about the global importance of the ANH

lawsuit (the same presentation he did before the Joint International Committee

of National Nutritional Foods Assn (NNFA) and American Herbal Products Assn

(AHPA) only to be stabbed in the back by these Pharma Dominated Vitamin Trade

Associations.

 

The Joint International Committee is chaired by Randy Dennin an employee of

Pfizer. Dennin also Chairs IADSA (International Alliance of Dietary Supplement

Associations) a UN NGO (Non Government Organization) which pretends to be

defending the supplement industry's interests at Codex, while actually doing the

diametric OPPOSITE.

 

We must sound an urgent alert to every alternative practitioner in the world and

their patients, because for the most part we cannot count on the dietary

supplement industry- its been far too heavily infiltrated by pharmaceutical

interests via the trade associations. Multilevel companies have a group culture

that frowns on the dissemination of political information because it scares off

potential new distributors.

 

While we have not given up trying to reach some of the more innovative companies

(which would be most heavily impacted) even many of THEM are sound asleep and

we're rapidly running out of time.

 

Today I spoke with David Hinde, Solicitor, ANH's legal director in England for

clarification on the time frame to raise the money for their lawyers.

They have filed with the court to get a court date which they haven't yet

received, but WILL receive because they got a referral from the High Court of

Justice in London.

 

If they were to get a court date tomorrow, we'd only have 2 months to raise all

the money we'd need UP FRONT for the lawsuit ($400,000.) (We have no way of

knowing when they will get the court date. They could get one in a few weeks, or

in a few months- we have no way of knowing when, but from whenever ANH gets the

court date, they have only 2 months to raise the full amount necessary to pay

the law firm.

 

We're up against the wall to raise $50,000 YESTERDAY for the next leg of the ANH

lawsuit, and I appreciate your assistance greatly. In the past week I've had

conversations with all of you about the dire need for emergency donations to the

Alliance for Natural Health (ANH) in the UK http://www.alliance-natural-health

via their secure server.

 

On Wednesday I will be traveling to Dr.Dorman's office near Seattle for a

lengthy discussion to follow up the discussion I had with him by phone.

Dr.Dorman used to work with Jonathan Wright, and I am hoping he can help me to

wake Dr.Wright up because Wright is failing to grasp the time sensitivity of the

situation before us despite my having met with him for two hours in his office

last summer. Despite repeated efforts by Leanne Wylet and I to awaken Dr.Wright,

he just isn't grasping what we've been trying to say and he has not been

communicating with us directly, only via his secretary.

 

Yesterday I had a lengthy discussion with Dr.Corsello, and she urged me to put

my information into a bullet point form to facilitate the creation of a

schematic in order to make this complex situation easier for busy people with

short attention spans to grasp. It is extremely difficult to do this because the

situation is highly complex, but I have attempted do to so below in an OUTLINE

in a Question and Answer format.

 

Dr.Corsello wants to help by communicating about this with some big guns like

Whitaker and others, and I welcome all of your help in this way- it is my hope

that we can work closely together. My past experience with Whitaker was that his

head is buried deeply in the sand- he used to be a client of mine. Dr.Corsello

envisions holding a seminar in Iowa at some time in the near future in order to

have input from Senator Harkin on a range of issues- Codex & the EU Directive

being among them.

 

I am hoping to put on a program in or near Seattle as soon as possible for the

purpose of catalyzing more rapid national awareness of the global importance of

ANH's lawsuit. Rob Verkerk, PhD, Exec Dir of ANH is in Ireland right now as a

speaker before the Irish vitamin trade association which wants to help the

cause. He hopes we can put together a catalytic program in Seattle- and we'd

have him come over to present his superb Power Point Presentation about the ANH

lawsuit and its importance.

 

I can document that the FDA has set the USA up to lose in a future WTO Trade

Dispute on the Codex issue, and that the Congressional Oversight hearing I

pushed for for 5 years was whitewashed on March 20, 2001. Despite witnessing

crimes committed by Dr.Beth Yetley of the FDA at meetings of the UN's Codex

Alimentarius Commission's Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary

Uses at meetings in Germany in 1996, and 1998- I was not allowed to testify at

the whitewashed Oversight hearing, and neither were any of my witnesses. The FIX

is in, and we can't get any help from Congress to address the threat. The ONLY

CHANCE we have to defend consumer access to dietary supplements is by supporting

ANH's lawsuit to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive due to the political

clout wielded by the EU at Codex.

 

OUTLINE WITH BULLET POINTS IN QUESTION AND ANSWER FORMAT TO HELP CONNECT THE

DOTS:

WHY WE MUST GET $50,000 to ANH IMMEDIATELY

 

* (1) FDA HAS SET THE USA UP TO LOSE IN A FUTURE WTO TRADE DISPUTE IN ORDER TO

SCUTTLE DSHEA

 

On March 17, 1997, acting FDA Commissioner Michael A. Friedman make a speech

before the Senate Labor Committee in which he stated " FDA plans to amend its

regulations and procedures for consideration of standards adopted by Codex. This

action is being taken to provide for the systematic review of Codex standards in

order to enhance consumer protection, promote international harmonization, and

fulfill the obligations of the United States under international agreements. "

 

See FDA/CFSAN Federal Register 62 FR 36243July 7, 1997

http://www.fda.gov/ola/1997/319.html speech of Michael A. Friedman (Section 6-

FDA and the Global Marketplace: International Harmonization )

 

* (2) Q: WHAT " INTERNATIONAL OBLIGATIONS " IS FRIEDMAN REFERRING TO?

 

A: The Following Subsections of the GATT Trade Agreement-

later superceded by the World Trade Organization (Which has enforcement power)

 

- SPS AGREEMENT (Sanitary Phytosanitary Measures)

- TBT AGREEMENT (Technical Barriers to Trade)

- MUTUAL RECOGNITION AGREEMENT

 

(The WTO has enforcement powers which GATT lacked in the form of a new

international (mickey mouse) " court " (The Dispute Settlement Body)

Every decision the DSB has made has gone against the environment, against the

public health, against human rights, against labor rights, against all the

intangibles that go into the make up of every democratic nation's laws, more

details below....)

 

* (3) Q: IS THIS JUST JOHN HAMMELL SAYING THIS? ARE ANY MEMBERS OF CONGRESS &

ORGANIZATIONS ALSO CONCERNED?

 

A: Congressman Ron Paul (R-TX) and Peter De Fazio (D-OR) share Hammell's

concerns: See the gif file of their letter to Congressman Dan Burton sent prior

to the Codex Oversight hearing that was WHITEWASHED on March 20, 2001:

http://www.iahf.com Click on the Spinning Globe on the front of the site to

view.

 

Several organizations and heavy hitters in the dietary supplement industry also

share my concerns including The National Health Federation http://www.thenhf.com

The American Holistic Health Association http://www.ahha.com The Life Extension

Foundation http://www.lef.org Gary Null http://www.garynull.com The Alliance for

Natural Health http://www.alliance-natural-health.org and numerous alternative

medical organizations in Europe (see ANH's extensive support base at their

website.)

 

Several members of Congress ordered Dr.Yetley (via her boss Dr.Moore) not to put

a biased, unscientific paper on the table at Codex in '98 because it had not

undergone a public review period, had been funded by pharmaceutical interests,

had been condemned as unscientific by orthomolecular experts, and to use it at

Codex would violate US law (The FDA Modernization Act of 1997 was amended to

specifically exclude dietary supplements from harmonization language which would

impact the whole REST of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (The statutes the FDA

enforces.) I did the lobbying which resulted in this amendment.

 

These letters were sent to Yetley, via Moore by several members of Congress, but

she ignored them completely:

http://www.iahf.com/codex/20000310.html and

http://www.iahf.com/codex/letter2.html

 

I queried FDA attorney L.Robert Lake on the FDA's interpretation of my

amendment. He provided a response which clearly indicates that the FDA fully

intends to ignore the will of the people and the will of Congress on this issue

by taking an artful interpretation of the language. (I caused the fax machines

of the Senate Labor Committee to run out of paper and ink with a high volume of

complaints about the bill language of the FDA Modernization Act's harmonization

language that were sent in by an angry public which I alerted.

 

* (4) Q: HASN'T ANY MEMBER OF CONGRESS EVER INTRODUCED LEGISLATION TO TRY TO GET

US OUT OF THE WTO?

IF SO- WHAT WAS THE OUTCOME?

 

A. Congressman Ron Paul attempted to get us out of the WTO by introducing House

Joint Resolution 90 in 2000.. Title: Withdrawing the approval of the United

States from the Agreement establishing the World Trade Organization The bill

only had 9 cosponsors, and failed by a voice vote of 363- 56 on June 21, 2000 ,

illustrating just how corrupt Congress really is. [ http://thomas.loc.gov See

106th Congress, type in HJRes 90]

 

 

* (5) Q: CAN'T SOME MEMBER OF CONGRESS GET US OUT OF THIS MESS BY REINTRODUCING

AND PASSING THIS SORT OF LEGISLATION?

SHOULDN'T WE BE WRITING TO CONGRESS? WHY DO WE HAVE NO CHOICE BUT TO SUPPORT A

LAWSUIT IN EUROPE?

 

A) The implementing legislation which got us into the WTO includes a rule that a

bill intended to get us out of the WTO can only be introduced once every 5

years. That means no member of congress can even ATTEMPT to get us out of the

WTO until 2005, but the outcome of a vote would not be any different because

most members of congress receive PAC donations from multinational corporate

interests who they don't wish to offend, and these interests don't WANT us to

pull out of the WTO because it helps them to CIRCUMVENT the laws of any nation

that interfere with their PROFITS. The only chance we have to monkeywrench the

Pharma Cartel's takeover plans is via the ANH lawsuit to overturn the EU Food

Supplement Directive, because the EU is the dominant poltical force at Codex....

more below......

 

B) A trade dispute against us would not be adjudicated in a US Court using our

rules of evidence, it would be adjudicated in a new international court called

the Dispute Settlement Body of the WTO, a star chamber proceeding that doesn't

follow our rules of evidence. The DSB meets behind closed doors, and no private

citizen ordinarily would have standing to appear before it (only if both

conflicting parties agree, which has never happened yet and isn't likely to.)

The USA would be " represented " in a trade dispute by an unelected bureaucrat

from the FDA, in this case by either Dr.Beth Yetley (US Codex Rep for the US

Delegation to the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Food for Special Dietary

Use), or by Dr.Barbara Schneeman who was just named as Director of the FDA

Office of Dietary Supplements, replacing Christine Lewis who just went from the

FDA to the World Health Organization (which administers Codex.)

 

C) The Congressional Oversight hearing that I pushed for for 5 years on Codex

was whitewashed on March 20 2001. I wasn't allowed to testify, none of my

witnesses were allowed to testify, the only person who WAS allowed to testify

lied under oath- the FIX IS IN, our only chance is to monkeywrench the Codex

proceedings indirectly by overturning the EU Food Supplement Directive in Court-

which CAN be done, it IS vulnerable- but we can ONLY do it if we can get ANH the

money they need to pay Brick Court Chambers, the BEST lawfirm in Europe which is

the ONLY firm that has ever succeeded in overturning an EU Directive.

 

KEY THING TO UNDERSTAND: THE FDA HAS SET THE USA UP TO LOSE IN A

FUTURE WTO TRADE DISPUTE- HERE IS HOW- & HERE IS WHY WE MUST SUPPORT ANH

 

C) Yetley and Schneeman have played key roles in setting the USA up to lose in a

future WTO Trade Dispute by being instrumental in creating false definitions of

vitamin safety, and under the SPS Agreement, the only way a nation can legally

refuse to harmonize its domestic vitamin laws to an international Codex Standard

is on a basis of Safety.

 

See SPS Agreement, Article 3, Paragraph 3 - in the context of Paragraphs 1-3:

 

http://www.wto.org/english/tratop_e/sps_e/spsagr_e.htm

 

1. To harmonize sanitary and phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as

possible, Members shall base their sanitary or phytosanitary measures on

international standards, guidelines or recommendations, where they exist, except

as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, and in particular in paragraph 3.

 

2. Sanitary or phytosanitary measures which conform to international standards,

guidelines or recommendations shall be deemed to be necessary to protect human,

animal or plant life or health, and presumed to be consistent with the relevant

provisions of this Agreement and of GATT 1994.

 

3. Members may introduce or maintain sanitary or phytosanitary measures which

result in a higher level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection than would be

achieved by measures based on the relevant international standards, guidelines

or recommendations, if there is a scientific justification, or as a consequence

of the level of sanitary or phytosanitary protection a Member determines to be

appropriate in accordance with the relevant provisions of paragraphs 1 through 8

of Article 5.(2) Notwithstanding the above, all measures which result in a level

of sanitary or phytosanitary protection different from that which would be

achieved by measures based on international standards, guidelines or

recommendations shall not be inconsistent with any other provision of this

Agreement.

 

[My note: which includes conformity with international law under Mutual

Recognition Agreements- harmonization is occurring at every level- note effort

to create the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) intended to harmonize all

laws between Canada, the US, Mexico, Central and South America- see

Citizen http://www.citizen.org/trade/ See Photos from Demonstrations against the

WTO which illustrate the New World Order Dictatorship:

http://www.louisbeam.com/seattle.htm]

 

 

By falsely defining Supplement Safety, the FDA has set us up to have the rug

pulled out from under us in the biased star chamber proceeding known as the

World Trade Organizations " Dispute Settlement Body " , and Congress allowed them

to do this on March 20, 2001 when the Codex Vitamin Oversight hearing that I

pushed for for 5 years was whitewashed.

*(5) Q: WHAT EVIDENCE DO YOU HAVE THAT Dr.s YETLEY AND SCHNEEMAN OF THE FDA

CAN'T BE TRUSTED? HOW HAVE THEY CREATED FALSE DEFINITIONS OF VITAMIN SAFETY IN

ORDER TO SET US UP TO LOSE IN A FUTURE WTO TRADE DISPUTE? CAN YOU DEMONSTRATE

EVIDENCE OF CONFLICTS OF INTEREST AND BIAS AGAINST DIETARY SUPPLEMENTS ON THEIR

PART?

 

SHORT ANSWER WITH LONGER TO FOLLOW:

 

 

 

A. BACKGROUND I was kicked off the US Codex Delegation to the UN's Codex

Alimentarius Commission prior to the meeting in Berlin in 2000 by Dr.Ed

Scarbrough of the US Department of Agriculture on behalf of Dr.Yetley who

requested my removal from the US Delegation. I was kicked off the Delegation for

attempting to be a whistleblower to expose Yetley's illegal actions via a

Congressional Oversight Hearing, and was also banned from any future

participation in Codex meetings by Jurgen Kundke, the Press Officer of the

German FDA (Bgvv) despite the fact that I am a licensed, credentialled member of

the Press.

 

This happened because I attempted to videotape the Codex meeting of the

Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses in Berlin in 2000. I

videotaped the first half hour from the US Delegation in the upper deck of the

conference room before the German Chair (Grossklaus) noticed, and forced me to

stop. I digitized the portion of the footage where they forced me to stop taping

and put it in the Media section at http://www.iahf.com because it proves the

non-transparency of Codex meetings, which are really nothing more than a form of

" High Drama " put on for public consumption intended to give the outward

APPEARANCE of honesty, scientific integrity, and democracy. In reality, all

decisions are made before the meeting even takes place, and the meetings violate

every tenet of representative government on which our nation was based.

 

At Codex, the host country (Germany in this case of this committee on nutrition)

wields inordinate power because they Chair the meeting. Rather than act as a

Moderator, the Chair, (Grossklaus) has been acting more like a Judge- ignoring

what actually takes place in the meeting while drafting the final meeting

report, moving through the agenda in a way that best suits the interests of

multinational drug companies which run Germany in order to block discussion on

things they don't want discussed. Decisions are made by concensus- in essence

its one country, one vote, regardless of the size of the country, with no regard

to whether or not the country even manufactures dietary supplements or not.

Germany is part of the EU. The EU will go from 15 to 25 nations in size prior to

the upcoming Codex meeting in Bonn in November. The EU will dominate what goes

on, via having 26 votes (the EU itself has one vote, plus 25 more for each

member nation), plus the EU countries control approximately 30

other votes from former colonies in Africa, Central and South America.

 

B. SPECIFIC CRIMINAL ACTIONS COMMITTED BY YETLEY & THE FDA- SPECIFICS ON WHY

YETLEY & SCHNEEMAN CAN'T BE TRUSTED- HOW THEY HAVE SET THE USA UP TO LOSE IN A

WTO TRADE DISPUTE

 

YETLEY's ILLEGAL ACTION IN BONN- 1996

 

 

It is not legal for Dr.Yetley to take a position at Codex that is inconsistent

with existing US law, however at the Codex meeting in Bonn, Germany in 1996, I

witnessed her illegally second a Canadian motion to shift herbs out of Codex

(where they're regulated as foods which is consistent with US law) over to the

World Health Organization (where they're regulated as DRUGS which is NOT

consistent with US law.) I wasn't the only one who saw this. Clinton and Bonnie

Miller who were on the US Delegation with me also witnessed this illegal act,

and it was recorded in the minutes of the meeting.

 

The circumstances of the situation were that Canada had made this motion at a

previous Codex meeting, and I knew it would come up at the meeting in Bonn. So

prior to the meeting, I did a lot of public speaking in Canada and generated a

flood of opposition to the motion resulting in the Canadian Parliament being

flooded with angry calls from consumers demanding that Canada back off from the

negative list proposal for herbs.

 

Prior to the meeting, when I tried to call Dr.Margaret Cheney, the Canadian

Delegate, she wasn't there, but I spoke with Ron Burke. I asked if Cheney

intended to obey the will of the Canadian people or not at the meeting vis a vis

this matter and back off from the negative list proposal for herbs.

 

Burke mocked my question, engaged in double talk that made it obvious that I

could not expect an honest reaction from Cheney at the meeting. Sure enough, at

the meeting, rather than obey the will of the Canadian people, Cheney attempted

to SIDESTEP consumers by urging that herbs be shifted to a venue to which we

have ZERO access (WHO), where herbs are considered " drugs " . (This is consistent

with CANADIAN law, but NOT with US law, hence the illegality of Yetley's

seconding the motion.)

 

(Right after Cheney made the motion, which previously in the meeting she'd

pretended to back away from), I could see the heads of the Swiss, German,

French, and Italian delegates all swivel en masse and fix expectantly on one

person in the room----- you guessed it------- Dr.Yetley of the US FDA rose as if

on CUE to illegally second the motion, (without asking ANY of us on the US

Delegation if we thought that was a good idea or not) (The US Delegation is

allegedly a " democratic working group " but nothing could be further from the

truth. Only government officials have their expenses paid to attend the meeting,

all but blocking grass roots participation. Most members of Delegations are from

multinational corporations that dictate what they want to the FDA's of the world

which run the meeting.)

 

YETLEYS ILLEGAL ACTION IN BERLIN: 1998

 

Yetley put the National Academy of Sciences' unscientific paper titled A Risk

Assessment Model for Establishing Upper Intake Levels for Nutrients on the table

at Codex which falsely defines the safety of dietary supplements. This paper was

funded by pharmaceutical interests- see http://iahf.com/nas/nutrisk.html

 

A rebuttal was published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine in 2000 by

Richard Malter, PhD- see http://iahf.com/nas/nasrebut.html

 

See letters from Congress to Yetley via her boss at

http://www.iahf.com/codex/20000310.html and

http://www.iahf.com/codex/letter2.html which told her not to put this paper on

the table at Codex- that it was illegal to. Although no specific reference was

made to the harmonization section of the FDA Modernization Act of 1997 (which

was specifically amended to remove dietary supplements from harmonization

language which pertained to the whole REST of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act),

this is what was being alluded to in the letter. I did the lobbying which

resulted in this amendment to the FDA Modernization Act.

 

When I queried the FDA's legal counsel on this I received a response which shows

that the FDA fully intends to ignore the will of the people and the will of

Congress- and they'll probably get away with it because most Judges go only by

the exact wording of a statute and make no effort to try to determine what the

will of Congress actually was. (The language is ambiguous enough that the FDA

has found a loophole they're sliding through.) (In getting the amendment that I

got, I generated enough faxes to cause the Senate Labor Committees fax machines

to run out of paper and ink, and they called me to ask what I wanted. Senator

Kennedy was able to get the language of my amendment watered down on behalf of

pharmaceutical interests to the point that FDA could slide through a loophole.

 

Alan Gaby, MD had an article published in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine

in 2003 which further documents the scientific fraudulence of the National

Academy of Sciences so called " Safe Upper Levels " which FDA has gotten Codex to

adopt as the official means of establishing allowable potency levels for

vitamins. See his article Safe Upper Levels for Nutritional Supplements: One

Giant Step Backward http://www.iahf.com/20040127.html

 

 

The " Safe Upper Level " method of " determining allowable vitamin potency levels "

is going to be in the finalized Codex standard as the means of determining

allowable potency levels for vitamins and minerals.

SCHNEEMAN NAILED IN OUTRAGEOUS CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Moves from UC

Davis- to FDA After Chairing NAS Committee to " Evaluate Safety of Dietary

Supplements "

X-YMLPcode: jham+171+1256

 

IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Whats New, What to Do, Codex, EU FSD, All

Countries

 

IAHF List:

 

IAHF continues to lead the way in exposing the outrageous Pharma effort to

suppress consumer access to dietary supplements.

 

Dr.Barbara Schneeman was just hired by the FDA's Center for Food Safety and

Applied Nutrition's Office of Nutritional Products, Labeling, and Dietary

Supplements after chairing the committee that generated the highly biased paper

titled

" Dietary Supplements: A Framework to Evaluate Safety "

http://www4.nationalacademies.org/news.nsf/isbn/s0309091101?OpenDocument

 

 

Schneeman generated this paper while working at the University of California at

Davis.

While there, she had a research grant totalling $39,942 from ILSI (International

Life Sciences Institute) whose membership reads like a " Who's Who " of

multinational drug companies (specifics below.)

 

I noted that Schneeman's predecessor at the FDA, Christine Lewis, has just

accepted a position at the (so called) World Health Organization (WHO). WHO and

FAO jointly administer the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission, which is poised

on the brink of forcing a grossly restrictive international trade standard for

vitamins and minerals through to completion mirroring the draconian EU Food

Supplement Directive.

 

Due to the congressional oversight hearing on Codex being whitewashed on March

20, 2001, the USA has been set up to lose in a future WTO Trade Dispute via

which our vitamin laws will be forcibly harmonized to a mindless international

standard which Schneeman is obviously involved in crafting on behalf of her

pharmaceutical masters at ILSI.

 

Vitamin consumers wishing to avert international genocide should make urgently

needed donations to the Alliance for Natural Health's lawsuit to overturn the EU

Food Supplement Directive. Donations can be made via secure server on the ANH

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

 

Anyone who can assist me in getting the urgently needed assistance of Jonathan

Wright, MD for the purpose of putting on a catalytic program of Speakers in

Seattle to spearhead an information campaign on this issue before its too late

should contact me immediately at 800-333-2553 N.America, 360-945-0352 World

 

We CAN overturn the EU Food Supplement directive, and monkeywrench the cartel's

agenda. ANH has the best lawfirm in Europe in their corner- the only firm that

has ever succeeded in overturning an EU Directive. The EU is the dominant

political force at Codex. As goes the EU, so goes the world. The FTAA is

intended to be a carbon copy of the EU Dictatorship in our hemisphere- via it

the laws of Canada, US, Mexico, Central and South America are slated to be

harmonized to the EU- see http://www.ftaa-alca.org/alca_e.asp

Schneeman, which lists projects as of July 1996, shows no

funding from pharmaceutical companies.

 

If you have any questions or additional requests please let me know.

 

Sincerely,

MY COMMENTS:

 

I have requested additional specifics about this ILSI Grant from UC Davis....

 

I note with interest that ILSI's membership includes a slew of multinational

pharmaceutical companies, all attempting to advance their devious anti health

agenda- in this case the suppression of consumer access to dietary supplements

around the world http://www.ilsi.org/about/Assembly_of_Members.pdf

 

ILSI's member companies include Monsanto, Bayer, BASF, Wyeth, Boerhinger

Ingleheim, Merck, Shering Plough- and numerous others ad nauseum. It is a shame

that UC Davis associates with such parasitic entities because they have a

" business with disease " and it is AGAINST their business interests for the

people of this planet to be HEALTHY.

 

You might ALSO be interested to know that Dr.Schneeman has just LEFT UC Davis to

work directly for the FDA, where she will be continuing her efforts to screw

vitamin consumers from around the world.

 

This is indeed a very SAD state of affairs.

 

See the following articles

http://www.thehealthcrusader.com/pgs/article-0104-ban.shtml

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

 

I note that her predecessor at FDA has just left FDA to go work for the so

called " World Health Organization. " This is one big happy incestuos family.

Schneeman is part of an effort orchestrated by the Pharma Cartel to create FALSE

DEFINITIONS of dietary supplement safety to set the USA up to lose in a future

WTO Trade Dispute. I had death threats because of an effort I made to get a

congressional oversight hearing on this scam which I am still attempting to

monkeywrench.

 

See FDA Press Release Below about Schneeman's new job now that she has just left

UC Davis....
