> Hathcock, PhD CRN's Vice President, Scientific &

> Regulatory Affairs

> formerly worked at the FDA alongside Dr. Beth

> Yetley. I recall Hathcock

> from when he used to work at FDA because he spoke at

> a press conference at

> the Beyond Deficiency Vitamin Conference in 1991 at

> which there were

> eminent scientists from all over the world extolling

> the virtues of dietary

> supplements, citing study after study, irrefutable

> scientific evidence

> attesting to the safety and efficacy of numerous

> dietary supplements,

> including folic acid in the prevention of neural

> tube defects which cause

> babies to be born with crippling deformities such as

> spina bifida, which

> condemns them to lives of ill health, sometimes so

> paralyzed they can't

> even move their hands or arms or even speak. I heard

> Hathcock condemn all

> of these scientific studies and say to the news

> media that " None of them

> were honored by the FDA, and the FDA would allow no

> claims based on

> ANYTHING that had been said at the conference. " I

> felt nauseas upon hearing

> this, and when Hathcock left the building, I

> followed him onto the Metro

> train, but when I sat next to him and attempted to

> question him, he got up

> and moved to another seat, refusing to answer any

> questions.

> Then- in '98, all of a sudden Hathcock reappears in

> front of me once more,

> this time on staff at CRN [Counsel for Responsible

> Nutrition], at a meeting

> of the US Codex Delegation the day before the Codex

> meeting in Berlin

> began, and he JUMPED quite VIGOROUSLY to the defense

> of Dr. Beth Yetley of

> the FDA when I was sharply CRITICAL of the fact that

> Yetley was IGNORING a

> letter from 5 members of Congress (see it under

> letters from congress at

> <http://www.iahf.com>http://www.iahf.com) which told

> her NOT to put the

> grossly unscientific, pharmaceutically funded paper

> generated by the

> National Academy of Sciences titled " A Risk

> Assessment Model for

> Establishing Safe Upper Levels for Nutrients " on the

> table at CODEX. (See

> this outrageous paper, which calls the deadly toxin

> fluoride an " essential

> nutrient " and which calls for a " 35 mg UL " on Niacin

> (because niacin causes

> some very sensitive people to experience flushing at

> low doses, and NAS

> considers that to be an " adverse drug side effect "

> when A) Niacin is a

> food, not a " drug " and B) The flushing is not the

> least bit " dangerous " ,

> all it means is that the niacin is working, that

> it's improving circulation

> by causing capillaries on the surface of the skin to

> dilate which causes a

> mildly irritating burning sensation that is no means

> " dangerous " I've taken

> megadoses of niacin for 20 years, and I'll be DAMNED

> Malter which was published

> in the Journal of Orthomolecular Medicine Second

> Quarter, 2000 Vol. 15,

> Number 2. Additionally, additional criticism of

> Hathcock's involvement in developing the methodology

> which NAS has

> intentionally misapplied in order to create a

> pharmaceutically funded

> utterly biased " safety standard " for vitamins,

> constitutes an effort to set

> up the dietary supplement industry to lose in a

> trade dispute before the

> WTO's Dispute Settlement Body. The paper defines the

> safety of vitamins (in

> a very biased, unscientific way) and the only legal

> basis by which a

> country can not agree to harmonize its laws to the

> emerging highly

> restrictive Codex vitamin standard is on a basis of

> safety. FDA has argued

> that IAHF's contention that Codex could impact US

> dietary supplement laws

> is " false " and as " evidence " they site the Federal

> Statute which implements

> the GATT Trade Agreement, which contains an

> exemption clause which in

> THEORY on PAPER " protects " our domestic laws from

> harmonization to

> international standards.

> The big LIE which FDA/CRN/NNFA/ and so called

> " Citizens for Health " are

> promulgating is that what's happening at Codex

> " can't " impact our US

> dietary supplement laws, but this is proven FALSE by

> an article by Jeanne

> Grimmett of the Congressional Research Service

> titled " Dispute Settlement "

> which documents the 7 Trade Disputes the USA has

> lost and the fact that in

> each case, our domestic laws were indirectly forced

> to be changed under

> threat of trade sanctions by the WTO's Dispute

> Settlement Body. My efforts

> to get Congressional Oversight Hearings on the Codex

> vitamin issue have

> been blocked by the pharmaceutically dominated CRN,

> and NNFA which have

> told Congressman Burton simply that " oversight

> hearings on the Codex

> vitamin issue aren't necessary " . (Despite my efforts

> Warning, Burton has an aide named Beth Clay, who
