From Phillip Day - Urgent! Action needed this weekend

Fri, 21 Jan 2005 14:00:31 -0000

 

 

 

Hi Folks,

 

 

 

The Campaign for Truth in Medicine requires your help urgently over

the next day or so to help the Alliance for Natural Health fight a

landmark initiative in the European Court which threatens the freedom

of choice in healthcare for all European citizens. Please read Dr

Robert Verkerk's letter below, and then pen the required e-mails off

without delay. If you are an ex-patriot Brit, still write in. This is

one of the most important things we all need to do this year.

 

 

 

Many thanks for your help!

Dear CTM r,

 

 

 

URGENT - ACTION NEEDED THIS WEEKEND BY UK CITIZENS

 

 

 

Please pass on this message to your friends – distribute as widely as

you can to UK contacts.

 

 

 

We are sending this message to seek your urgent assistance with the

campaign to stop the EU Food Supplements Directive's proposed ban on

75% of vitamin and mineral forms, found in some 5000 products

currently sold in UK health stores and via practitioners.

 

 

 

We will be in the European Court in Luxembourg on 25 January defending

our landmark case to overturn the ban.

 

 

 

On the same evening of our case, this coming Tuesday, to coincide with

the legal action being taken in Luxembourg, Conservative MP Chris

Grayling and Labour MP Kate Hoey will lead a cross-Party effort to

force the Government to renegotiate the Directive and end the threat

to most bio-available forms of vitamins and minerals in the UK.

 

 

 

The Opposition have given up half a day of the time allocated to them

for this debate, and it will provide an opportunity for MPs to vote

against the Directive and to instruct the Government to go back to

Brussels and renegotiate its provisions.

 

 

 

We need your help. We need to put as much pressure on MPs as possible

to vote with us on Tuesday. Please can you send an email to your own

MP at Westminster over the weekend or before Tuesday lunchtime urging

them to back the motion and to oppose the Directive.

 

 

 

The email address for MPs works in the following way: the surname and

the initial followed by @parliament.uk. So John Reid, the Health

Secretary's email address would be reidj and the Junior

Minister involved, Melanie Johnson's would be johnsonm.

 

 

 

You might like to send an email to both of them as well.

 

 

 

If you don't know who your MP is, please go to:

http://www.locata.co.uk/commons/ and type in your postcode.

 

 

 

Please give us your help. The Alliance for Natural Health, and its

collaborating organisations in Europe and around the world, are in the

last-chance saloon for leading-edge food (dietary) supplements. We

have to get the UK Government - who are opposing our case in the

European Court -to listen.

 

 

 

And if they won't, we need to let them know how angry we are.

 

 

 

Thanks in anticipation of your help.

 

 

 

Dr Robert Verkerk
