This is a time that so many swore would never come. Well, here it is,

waiting to slam the door on our choices! Choices that enable us to

take care of our health in ways that do no harm, while still being

affordable and highly effective!

> Most of you do not realize, nor can you begin to comprehend the

bottom line. It is profit --- NOT facilitating preventive maintenance

or safe healing. These methods do NOT keep one coming back with a

multitude of side effects, necessitating more appointments to receive

further medication for treatments.

> I can hear your thoughts echoing so many comments told to me over

the years: " This is nuts, you're talking about our health. Our

doctors want to heal and help us, not focus on their profits. "

> Please stop and think about it. Do they willingly let this cash cow

disappear? This self perpetuating industry, that keeps you coming

back for more, and more, and more? This practice becomes clearer when

you realize it is " THE " bery protocol that has been so deeply

ingrained over their many years of training. While your doctors are

certainly well intentioned, they, like so many other professionals,

function within the known paradigm of their training. So many have

come to the profession of healing with the desire to make a

difference and save lives, but unfortunately find their hands tied

professionally by insurance companies and managed care. Only with the

loss of their revenue to alternative care, are curriculums

competitively expanding to make them more " conversant " with these

areas.

> Please pay attention to language here; " conversant, " does not

mean " fully trained. " Ten weekend courses in " Herbs,

and Homeopathy " cannot prepare a medical professional for serious

application of these subtle and complex alternatives to patient care.

> There are obviously exceptions of medical doctors who DO undertake

the intensive, necessary training in many other areas and they can be

readily found in organizations like A.C.A.M. and Orthomed. (links

available at: www.healthfreedomrights.com)

> Many of you remember the television program, " Marcus Welby, M.D. He

epitomized the caring physician who went that extra mile to find what

was best for his patients. In all fairness to your doctors now,

Marcus Welby did NOT have his hours tied up with endless paperwork

demanded by HMOs and managed care. This is what happens when your

doctor must justify a treatment he decides to be NECESSARY for a

patient, even though the previously mentioned companies have specific

guidelines for diseases and care, that do not treat the individual,

but the statistics.

> If your best interests were being served by the medical profession,

you would not have such great difficulty locating alternative

treatment. The majority of insurance companies have not recognized

these modalities. Some progress has finally begun with these

companies, but most still require that difficult to obtain " doctor's

referral, " enabling you to get a second opinion from an alternative

care practitioner. Quite the " Catch 22. "

> I have received many emails asking for clarification of

the " snopes.com " explanation of Codex. Now, when you have a website

that is supposed to give the bottom line on urban legends and

internet rumors, their position is very distressing. They seem to be

cut from that " Big Pharma " cloth, spouting the party line. For the

most concise rebuttal, please read the following from John Hammell

at:

> Vitamins will not be removed from the US market in June. Here is

John's explanation from the above linked archive:

> The following statement was made in error and we have John's

answer, as follows:

> " In June 2005 the USA will be forced to accept Codex regulation of

vitamins, minerals, and dietary supplements: False.

> " IAHF: This IS false, but I never said vitamins would be banned in

the USA in June of 2005, Wallace Heath said that due to not having

all his facts straight, What I have been telling people is that

between July 4th and 9th 2005 the 28th General Session of the UN's

Codex Alimentarius Commission will be held in Rome, Italy and a

highly draconian global trade standard for vitamins and minerals will

be ratified at that time unless a last ditch global campaign to stop

this criminal agenda succeeds.

> " Unless we succeed in stopping this, the USA would be set up to

lose in a future WTO trade dispute as a result of which Congress

would be forced via the threat of cross sector sanctioning to

harmonize our supplement laws to the Codex standard or huge sanctions

could be levied against broad sectors of our economy. At the same

time this is happening, huge domestic attacks are occurring against

the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994, with the

Institute of Medicine at the National Academy of Sciences being

joined by the National Center for Complementary and Alternative

Medicine in calling for the Repeal of DSHEA.

> " This attack is not happening in a vacuum, its part of a broader

global pattern of pharma attack against the natural supplements

industry which I've been documenting since I created IAHF in '96 to

catalyze awareness of this complex issue. "

> Many of you do not understand the impact trade agreements like the

World Trade Organization (WTO) and General Agreement on Tariffs and

Trade (GATT) impose on our own government. John Hammell's following

examples, will give you perspective:

> " [An example of the WTO forcing our Congress to change a law

happened just prior to the recent US Presidential election when the

WTO ruled that US Tariffs protecting our steel industry were illegal

under international law. We lost in a trade dispute over this, and

the WTO's Dispute Settlement Body told Bush that unless Congress

scrapped the tariff that they'd begin imposing trade sanctions

beginning with Florida Citrus Growers...... (Gee- guess where Bush

needed votes?)

> " We're up against a mechanized system of international coercion. If

we can't protect an industry as important as our STEEL INDUSTRY what

makes people think we can protect ANY of our industries including our

dietary supplement industry?

> " The fact is, WE CAN'T protect our supplement laws in the USA

unless we can kill ratification of the global trade standard for

vitamins and minerals which stands to be ratified at the Codex

meeting in Rome between July 4-9th 2005 or else get this country out

of the WTO. (Last time anyone tried that was Ron Paul in 2000 via

House Joint Resolution 90 (see legislative history here :

> http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/cpquery/?

& db_id=cp106 & r_n=hr672.106 & sel=TOC_7355

> & HJ Res 90 was slammed.) "

> What you CAN do is write and call your Congressman and Senators to

voice your request that the US withdraw from the WTO. This is the

year to do it, or we must wait until 2010.

> You CAN contribute to the lawsuit for the Alliance for Natural

Health. Their record breaking lawsuit has moved up the court system

in England to challenge and remove the recently passed, poorly

written laws withdrawing 300 supplements from the marketplace in

Great Britain, by June 2005.

> The supplements to be removed are the most bio-available, natural

forms of many vitamins and minerals. The low dose synthetic

replacements are NOT equivalent. Lower dose, less effective products

will be sold at higher prices.

I am the one who tipped John off about SNOPES. Thanks for posting

this to the site. Lynn
