Health is an Inalienable Human Right

Firm Protest in Bonn Against Codex Plans

 

 

On Sunday 31 October the Dr. Rath Health Foundation welcomed an

international audience to the large auditorium of Bad Godesburg

municipal hall in Bonn. " Stop Codex " was the urgent appeal, with the

message: " We say 'No' to the unscrupulous plans of the Codex

Alimentarius Commission to prohibit free access to natural remedies

and information about them. " Since Monday, 1st November the Commission

has been meeting again in Bonn, under German patronage, to drive

forward goals which wholly disregard human needs and rights.

 

Dr. Matthias Rath left no doubt about who is responsible for the Codex

plans: none other than the pharmaceutical cartel, which for countless

years has been promising health but spreading illness. The profits of

the pharmaceutical investment industry depend on the continued

survival and expansion of its markets in patented drugs, genetically

modified foods and synthetic food additives - despite the fact that

there is an alternative to ineffectual pharmaceutical medicine,

embodied in scientifically based, effective natural remedies without

side effects, such as Cellular Medicine.

 

The large audience attending the event at Bad Godesberg municipal hall

clearly demonstrated that it was composed of people intent on taking

responsibility themselves: responsibility for preventing the

pharmaceutical cartel from continuing to turn the human body into a

market place for its " business with disease " .

 

Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, director of the Dr. Rath Research

Institute in California, gave information about Cellular Medicine's

latest, encouraging research results, highlighting the fact that the

strength of this natural approach to medicine lies in its scientific

foundation.

 

Dr. Wong Ang Peng from Malaysia gave a committed and passionate

lecture on the successes he has been able to achieve with the help of

Cellular Medicine in combating endemic diseases such as high blood

pressure, stroke, diabetes and cancer.

 

Paul Taylor, as British expert on the " Codex Alimentarius " , supported

Dr. Rath's appeal to protest actively against the Codex plans. He

encouraged the audience and people throughout the world to send

e-mails and, in particular, letters and faxes to members of the German

and European parliaments, and decisively reject plans to prohibit free

access to natural remedies. " All of us must act. Just think about it:

the life you save might be your own, " said Taylor, giving the audience

something to ponder.

 

Dr. Anthony Brink, solicitor and judge from South Africa, reported on

his battle against the business based on AIDS. Expensive, ineffective

anti-AIDS drugs are sold there - a medical catastrophe which harms

whole generations of socially disadvantaged AIDS patients.

 

The programme of accompanying events in the municipal hall's foyer met

with a very warm response. At the Dr. Rath Health Foundation stand,

hundreds of signatures were collected against the Codex Alimentarius

plans. Werner Pilniok spoke of the aims of his patient association,

which include providing a communication forum for

patients harmed by pharmaceutical medicine.

 

On Monday 1 November a large crowd of people gathered at the

Brotfabrik cultural centre in the Beuel district of Bonn, in order to

join a protest march with Dr. Rath past the building in which the

Codex Commission had on the same day begun its meeting to realise its

unscrupulous aims. Banners showed their absolute determination to

continue the protest against the plans, regulations and laws being

driven forward to protect the global pharmaceutical market. " Stop

Codex, free access to natural remedies, " declared this group of

critics battling for a healthy world. When the protesters reached

their destination there were several addresses, in which Dr. Rath, Dr.

Niedzwiecki and other committed doctors and members of the Dr. Rath

Health Alliance gave their solid vote in favour of free access to

vitamins and natural remedies. They appealed to Codex delegates not

simply to implement the profit-orientated guidelines of the

pharmaceutical cartel, but to listen to their own conscience. For

health is an inalienable human right that no one has the right to curtail.

 

Dr. Rath Speech Codex 2004

Responsibility for Health, Peace and Social Justice

 

We meet here today to raise our voices against one of the greatest

crimes in human history: the attempt to deny the right of free access

to natural health, the right to health itself.

 

Global economic interests of a whole branch of industry, the

pharmaceutical industry, aim to deprive us of this right. The

commercial basis of this branch of industry is the perpetuation and

spread of illnesses as a billion-dollar market for the sale of its

investment commodities - thousands of pharmaceutical drugs - which are

synthetic, patentable and associated with severe side effects.

 

Yet the unscrupulous Codex plans are not a sign of the pharmaceutical

cartel's strength. They are a direct reaction to a breathtaking

breakthrough in vitamin research and Cellular Medicine, which lays the

foundation for the eradication of today's endemic diseases.

 

Never before in human history has a single medical breakthrough been

able to eradicate so many endemic diseases at one time, and save so

many human lives, as the discovery of the importance of vitamins,

minerals and other vital factors of cell metabolism in preventing

cellular deficiencies and illnesses.

 

Never before in human history has a single medical breakthrough been

able to help reduce the major causes of death, both in industrialised

countries and also developing companies, to a fraction of their

current level. In industrialised countries, heart attack, stroke, high

blood pressure, cardiac insufficiency, cancer, osteoporosis and other

endemic diseases are being successfully combated; in developing

countries this extends to the consequences of malnutrition and

susceptibility to tuberculosis, Aids and other infectious diseases.

 

Never before in human history has the goal of attaining a world

without disease been as close as it is today. The most important

obstruction on the path to this goal is the opposition of the

pharmaceutical industry - a branch of industry based on the

perpetuation of endemic diseases.

 

Never before in human history has an industry risked the health and

lives of millions of people for as long and as systematically as the

pharmaceutical industry, with the aim of making billion-dollar profits

from the continued suffering and misery of millions of patients.

 

Never before in human history has there been a more comprehensively

fraudulent business than the " pharmaceutical business with disease " .

The pharmaceutical cartel promises to deliver the commodity " health " ,

cashes in to the tune of billions and just delivers more and more

illness. As compelling proof of this global deception, one can cite

the fact that not a single endemic disease has been eradicated over

decades. On the contrary, the billion-dollar costs of perpetuating

these illnesses are ruining private and public budgets worldwide.

 

The pharmaceutical cartel's Codex plans are, more than ever before in

human history, an unscrupulous attempt to sustain a multi-billion,

global system of fraud and deception by misusing governments and

national and international parliaments to pass protection and muzzling

laws, and to prevent affordable health care based on natural,

non-patentable remedies.

 

Never before in human history has a greater responsibility fallen on a

generation's shoulders than on ours here and today. Either we will now

succeed in liberating humanity from the scourge of the " business with

disease " , or this unscrupulous branch of industry will continue to

enslave humanity for generations to come.

 

We have come here today to show our strength and our resolve: no one

has the right to prevent our free access to natural remedies. No one

has the right to endanger our health intentionally by withholding

vital information. Health is a human right for us and for people the

world over!

 

From tomorrow, representatives of the pharmaceutical cartel's global

operations and its political henchmen will meet here in Bonn behind

closed doors, under the patronage of the German federal government.

The aim of this meeting is, once again, to try to enforce a global

prohibition on effective natural remedies which are free of side effects.

 

This first worldwide protection law of the globalisation era aims to

defend a whole branch of industry from collapse. For it has long been

clear that vitamin therapies and other non-patentable natural remedies

have become effective and economical alternatives to pharmaceutical

medicine.

 

In order to implement these pharmaceutical cartel protection laws, the

cartel and its political henchmen are spreading the myth of the

supposed side effects of vitamins and other natural remedies,

deceiving citizens into believing that the Codex Alimentarius is a

kind of " consumer protection regulation " .

 

This threadbare claim is the reverse of the truth. No one has yet died

from the non-existent side effects of vitamins and other natural

remedies. But by contrast over a million people die each year from the

known fatal side effects of prescribable pharmaceutical drugs. The

pharmaceutical drug VIOXX, which has now been withdrawn, was taken by

over 80 million people throughout the world. Even after withdrawal of

this drug, the time bomb of long-term side effects is ticking on in

these people. According to the US drug registration authority, umpteen

thousand patients will die of VIOXX-induced heart attacks in the next

few years, although they have long since stopped taking it.

 

In view of the Lipobay and Vioxx scandals, it is incomprehensible that

the governments of the world do not step up the search for natural

alternatives, but continue to back the fraudulent pharmaceutical

business with disease.

We say: we need consumer protection against the side effects of

pharmaceutical pills, and not against the supposed side effects of

vitamins!

 

Participants at the Codex Alimentarius conference here in Bonn next

week bear responsibility for the continued deaths of millions of

people from diseases which should long ago have been relegated to the

past.

 

We reject any democratic legitimacy which the Codex Alimentarius may

claim to have. With the exception of a few independent participants -

some of whom are here amongst us today - most members of this

so-called commission of experts are arbitrarily appointed

representatives who promote the interests of the global pharmaceutical

cartel.

 

We reject the right of Gerhard Schröder, as patron of this

unscrupulous event, to ignore the health and vital interests of 80

million people in Germany, and to misuse millions of euros from German

taxpayers to fund an event organised by the global pharmaceutical

lobby. We condemn him for helping to implement the pharmaceutical

cartel's Codex plans to keep people throughout the world in submission

to its yoke.

 

We also reject any legitimacy the UN may claim to have to implement

such unscrupulous plans, supposedly on behalf of the world's citizens,

which will lead to the predictable death of hundreds of millions of

people. With its decision in June of this year to retrospectively

legitimise the invasion of Iraq, a war declared to be an infringement

of international law has been justified after the event. With this

fatal decision the 16 members of the World Security Council -

including Joschka Fischer - have knowingly destroyed the UN charter

and the international legal system based on it. From now on any

country is fair game for global commercial and military interests, and

the UN charter, the sole protection for 150 small countries, has been

irredeemably destroyed.

 

In view of these sobering facts, we have to ask: What legitimacy can

we still accord to UN organisations - WHA and FAO - in whose name the

unscrupulous Codex plans are to be implemented? The plain answer is

that the destruction of the UN charter in June of this year has also

destroyed the legitimacy of UN organisations, which are all based on

this charter.

 

And that is why all decisions which the Codex Alimentarius Commission

takes next week will have no international legality, and why no

country in the world will be obliged to adhere to them.

 

In contrast to the undemocratic Codex event, we represent the

interests of millions of people in Germany, Europe and the whole

world. We are not here today for ourselves alone, but in order to

represent the health and vital interests of 6 billion people, who are

directly threatened by the Codex Alimentarius plans. The fact that the

great majority of these people have not yet heard of the Codex

Alimentarius is further evidence of the fact that the pharmaceutical

cartel and its henchmen can only operate in the shadows and behind

closed doors, and - like vampires - avoid daylight.

 

On behalf of the world's people we now urge the members of the Codex

Alimentarius Commission to relinquish the pharmaceutical cartel's

unscrupulous Codex plans immediately.

 

Free access to natural remedies must not be restricted, but instead

promoted.

Natural health is a human right and must be anchored in law in all

countries of the world.

 

We have been accused of labouring under a mistaken conspiracy theory

in our battle against the Codex Alimentarius. This argument is easy to

refute: one only has to take a clear look at the tendencies at work in

the pharmaceutical business with disease, and be familiar with the

history of this branch of industry's systematic development through

the course of the 20th century.

 

Let us look firstly at the tendencies underlying the pharmaceutical

investment industry. These can be summarised in a few points:

 

1. The pharmaceutical industry is an investment industry which does

not profit from promoting the health of human beings but from the

perpetuation and spread of diseases.

 

2. The speculative commodities of this branch of industry are

synthetic molecules which are patentable. It is these patent fees

which determine " return on investment " , i.e. the profit margin.

 

3. The prevention and the eradication of diseases destroy

multi-billion sales markets for the pharmaceutical industry and are

thus combated by the latter. That is why over 80 percent of the

pharmaceutical drugs marketed today are not proven to cure, but just

repress symptoms.

 

4. In order to conceal and perpetuate this multi-billion fraudulent

business, the pharmaceutical industry primarily invests its profits in

making whole social domains such as medicine, the media and politics

dependent upon it. The biggest fraudulent business in human history

functions in an astonishingly simple way: millions of people are

promised the commodity " health " , but what is delivered is in fact just

more and more illness - thus creating ever new sales markets.

 

5. Vitamins and other scientifically based natural remedies threaten

the survival of the multi-billion pharmaceutical investment industry

for two reasons: firstly they are not patentable and are thus unsuited

as an investment industry's speculative commodities. Secondly, and

still more importantly, they eradicate the cellular causes of endemic

diseases and thus prevent the perpetuation of these endemic diseases

as multi-billion sales markets for pharmaceutical drugs.

 

6. The pharmaceutical investment business with disease and the

worldwide use of vitamin therapies to eradicate illnesses are mutually

incompatible. It will be either the financial interests of a handful

of pharmaceutical shareholders that win the day - or the health

interests of six billion people. Both together will not work.

 

7. Illnesses will continue to exist for as long as there is a branch

of industry which earns multi-billion profits from the continued

existence of these illnesses. Only by getting rid of the

pharmaceutical business with disease will humanity succeed in freeing

itself from today's endemic diseases.

 

Now let us turn briefly to a short survey of the history of the

pharmaceutical industry:

At the end of the 19th century, the patentability of synthetic

molecules was developed as the foundation of the pharmaceutical

investment industry. Aspirin and other chemical substances were the

first medicines representative of this new investment business with

disease.

 

In 1915 the oil billionaire Rockefeller established the Rockefeller

Foundation, using its charitable status as a cover for targeted

investment in the development of a new multi-billion industry, the

pharmaceutical industry.

 

The global greed of the US Rockefeller cartel and the German IG Farben

cartel - the latter consisting of Bayer, BASF and Höchst -

increasingly collided. On 9 November 1929 an historic agreement was

signed: the two cartels divided the world between them. The

Rockefeller Group was promised the global oil industry, while IG

Farben took the global chemical industry for itself.

 

But IG Farben did not keep this agreement, for it still had an ace up

its sleeve. Bayer, BASF and Hoechst became the biggest election donors

for Hitler's rise to power. IG Farben's investments in these

politicians initially seemed to have paid off. Whenever the Wehrmacht

invaded a European country, IG Farben was already in the passenger

seat and seized the chemical industries and oil fields of Europe free

of charge.

 

Isn't it astonishing? Today's rulers want to convince us, the people

of Germany and the world, that the Second World War was a kind of

accident of history, triggered by a psychopath named Hitler. The fact

is, however, that wars, both now and in the past, have always had

primarily economic motives. The Second World War was no exception.

 

At the Nuremberg war crimes trial against 24 IG Farben bosses, the

chief US prosecutor Tellford Taylor said that without the financial

interests of IG Farben, Hitler's rise to power and the Second World

War would not have been possible. Fritz Ter Meer and other IG Farben

executive board members were sentenced to imprisonment for many years.

 

But instead of a wholesale break-up of the IG Farben cartel, the

Rockefeller Group's influence amongst the victorious powers succeeded

in papering over the cracks. The Rockefeller Group - in other words,

its former competitor - took over the share package of IG Farben.

Former war criminals such as Ter Meer took on directorship of the

resurrected pharmaceutical and chemical Groups Bayer, BASF and Hoechst.

 

A certain Ludwig Erhard played a leading role in these brazen staff

appointments. He publicly declared that the choice of post-war

directors was made on the basis of the specialist knowledge and

experience of the IG Farben managers in the " commercial and

chemical-technical field " . And since back-scratching is mutual, the

former IG Farben man Ludwig Erhard was soon appointed finance minister

in post-war Germany, and even German Chancellor in 1963.

 

As well as being the year when Ludwig Erhard became Chancellor and

Fritz Ter Meer resumed chairmanship of the Bayer Group's board of

directors, 1963 was also when the German government took over

chairmanship of the UN's so-called " experts' commission " to protect

worldwide pharmaceutical interests. This was given the as yet unknown

name of " Codex Alimentarius " .

 

The Codex Alimentarius meeting in Bonn next week is thus embedded in a

long historical tradition of forces which have never shown any concern

for the interests of human beings, but have always only been

serviceable political puppets of their cartel masters.

 

In 1982, a former pharmaceutical spokesman of BASF seized the top job

in the German federal government through a so-called constructive vote

of no confidence. His name was Helmut Kohl. The pharmaceutical cartel

had given Kohl a leg-up from being an ordinary BASF member of staff to

someone who occupied the central corridors of power. For 16 years

Helmut Kohl promoted the pharmaceutical cartel's global political

interests from the Chancellor's office of the Federal Republic of Germany.

 

On 21 June 1997, all these links and the role of Kohl - who was still

Chancellor - as the puppet of the pharmaceutical cartel, were revealed

for the first time. In my talk at Chemnitz municipal hall, I also

pointed out that the pharmaceutical cartel is itself the biggest

obstacle to humanity's self-emancipation from endemic diseases. This

talk and its circulation in the context of the incipient Health

Alliance, was the start of a process of awakening in Germany, which

culminated initially in the impressive election defeat of Chancellor

Kohl one year later, in September 1998.

 

With the election defeat of its political henchman Helmut Kohl,

pharmaceutical investment circles, mainly coordinated through Deutsche

Bank, sought a new home. Their choice fell on the USA, where a certain

George Walker Bush was starting to coordinate the global interests of

the Rockefeller Group via the White House and the Pentagon.

 

In order to facilitate this enormous transfer of the pharmaceutical

investment industry from its former stronghold in Germany to its new

stronghold in the USA, it was decided that Deutsche Bank would merge

with the Bankers Trust of America, one of the biggest US investment

banks. Everything had been perfectly prepared, but then it happened:

US government official Alan Hevisi, who was responsible for financial

mergers in New York, threatened to blast the multi-billion merger

sky-high by arguing that Deutsche bank had not yet paid compensation

for its past transgressions in financing the Nazi rise to power, the

Second World War and construction of Auschwitz concentration camp.

 

To enable the pharmaceutical investment industry to move to the USA

nevertheless, a diversionary manoeuvre had to be instigated which

would distract the attention of the media and the international public

until the investment bank merger had been signed and sealed.

 

This was the beginning of the Kosovo war. Schröder and Fischer became

the engines driving this war forwards. When Oskar Lafontaine - then

the third most powerful man in German political corridors - refused to

countenance the war, he had to go. On 24 March 1999 the first bombs

fell on Kosovo.

 

Three months and more than 10,000 dead later, on 4 June 1999, the

Kosovo conflict was declared over in a triumphant statement by Federal

Chancellor Schröder in Cologne. On the same day, 4 June 1999, Deutsche

Bank announced that its deal with Bankers Trust of America had been

signed and sealed. Gerhard Schroeder allowed his name to be

celebrated: the Kosovo peace declaration was given the name " Pax

Schroeder " .

 

Under cover of the Kosovo war, the whole pharmaceutical investment

industry had transferred from the home of the defeated pharmaceutical

puppet Kohl to that of the new pharmaceutical puppet George W. Bush.

It was not only the pharmaceutical investment industry which moved

with Deutsche Bank, but also the whole know-how for bringing

governments to power against the will of the people, and stage

managing wars and crises in order to pass emergency legislation which

then open the doors wide for cartel interests. The parallels between

the Reichstag fire in Berlin in 1933 and 11 September in New York are

not a matter of coincidence.

 

The day after tomorrow, on 2 November 2004, the new political puppet

of the pharmaceutical cartel will stand for re-election. If he is

elected, emergency legislation to shore up the global power of the

pharmaceutical cartel will be implemented, if need be with military force.

 

Humanity is currently undergoing one of the most critical phases in

its history. Only those who see what is happening, who are willing to

learn more, will be able to stand up to these powers.

 

The Dr. Rath Health Foundation and the members of our Health Alliance

have seen that these are the same interests which, on a global scale,

are responsible for illness and war. We are working to promote a

healthy, peaceful and just world. If you believe that you too must do

something, talk to us and commit yourself.

 

We appeal to the world's people to join us with the aim of liberating

the earth from today's endemic diseases. Help us to make health an

inalienable human right. No one has the right to withhold vital health

information from us.

 

We urge the world's politicians to combat the pharmaceutical

industry's plans to pass laws which prohibit dissemination of vital

health information on vitamin therapies and natural remedies. We say

" No " to the pharmaceutical cartel's Codex plans!

 

Together let us use the breakthrough in natural medicine research and

Cellular Medicine to eradicate endemic diseases for this and all

future generations. Let us work together for a healthy, peaceful and

just world!

 

Many thanks.
