Clarification for Americans on the IAHF List Who Are Confused

On What to Do & Whats Going On

 

At 02:42 PM 1/21/05, you wrote:

There is so much going on that this is becoming very difficult to glean

what should be written to my senator and congressman. Could someone in

your organization draw up a template letter so all issues and whatever

bills are to be voted on can be included in the template letter. I can

donate some money, but who should it reallly go to?

 

Sandra

 

Sandra-

 

We are dealing with an international issue. Writing to Senators and

congressmen on the Codex issue is a complete waste of time. Congress

whitewashed an oversight hearing on codex that I pushed for for 5

years on

March 20, 2001. I wasn't allowed to testify and had death threats for

pushing for oversight. A congressional staffer who tried to help got

fired from his job and was replaced by a pharma shill.

 

My witnesses weren't allowed to testify. The only person allowed to

testify was a cartel shill. In 2000 Congressman Paul attempted to get us

out of the WTO via H J Res 90. He got slammed. It went nowhere. Our

Congress of whores won't get us out of either the UN or the WTO although

they should, but we have to face our political reality. Attempts on US

soil to scuttle DSHEA are less of a threat than the offshore threat posed

by the EU FSD and Codex due to how we've been set up for harmonization.

 

AHPA just issued a press release which totally exposes the NAS IOM

report which calls for the repealment of DSHEA for numerous inaccuracies.

Attempts to scuttle DSHEA are DOA (Dead on Arrival) due to AHPAs

expose, but pharma front groups will try to lure vitamin consumers via

red

herring " alerts " which will just divert people from where their attention

should be placed.

 

We have been set up like bowling pins for International harmonization

to emerging Codex vitamin standard and must kill ratification in Rome in

July 2005.

 

First step to monkeywrenching the Cartel's agenda:

Support the UK based Alliance for Natural Health with a donation to

help them pay their lawyers

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org They'll be in the European Court

of Justice on Tuesday, January 25th and need donations from vitamin

consumers world wide.

As goes the EU, so goes the World. The EU is the dominant political

force at CODEX. To scatter the chickens at CODEX, the first step is to

blow the EU FSD to smithereens, which ANH will do on Tuesday, with all of

our help. I will be in the courtoom to report on their anticipated

victory for Life Extension Magazine. We're up against a Eugenics agenda

here.

 

Second Step: Watch the Emergency Health Freedom DVD on streaming video

at http://www.glycommunity.com/iahf and get several copies to pass

around to health food stores all over America and the world. Grasp

that in

America, the supplement industry is being led to the cliff from within.

NNFA's pharma dominated legal counsel published a spin piece against my

mssg that was published in the December issue of NNFA Today. Many

vitamin companies and health food stores belong to NNFA and mindlessly

trust

them. NNFA's pharma dominated legal counsel (Sidley, Austin, Brown and

Wood LLP) have numerous pharma clients. Its a total conflict of

interest that NNFA ever hired them.

 

Third Step- Support IAHF via paypal at http://www.iahf.com paypal

button is on the top of the scrollbar on the interior of the site. IAHF

needs funds for additional public speaking, traveling re this issue. IAHF

was created as a catalytic entity in '96 specifically to address the

Codex International threat to health freedom. I was kicked off the US

Codex Delegation prior to the 2000 meeting in Berlin, and had serious

death

threats for my efforts to get Congressional ovesight on the issue which

I've been walking point on since my article in Life Extension Mag was

the first to call it to global attention.

 

I have a genetic need for the supplements I use, and I've been a grass

roots health freedom organizor/ lobbyist since 1989. This is a true

global grass roots battle, we're up against a eugenics agenda. The

entitlement programs are all bankrupt (Social Security, etc) and the

ruling

elite are very concerned about the demographics inherent in a retiring

baby boom. They simply do not want us to reach age 65. Their attitude is

that they own us, and that they will tell us what we can and cannot

ingest into bodies they regard to be their property.

 

I'm not saying any of this tongue in cheek, either. Our birth

certificates have been monetized as collateral against an unpayable

debt, and

are literally being held by the International Monetary Fund. Our SS # is

our Slave Number. For deeper insight read this free online book:

Blueprint for a Prison Planet- The Plan to Microchip Humanity and Why You

Won't Believe It http://home.iae.nl/users/lightnet/world/blueprint.htm

 

See http://www.stoptheftaa.com An effort is afoot to destroy America

by forcing us into the FTAA (Free Trade Area of the Americas) intended

to be a carbon copy of the EU Dictatorship in our Hemisphere. This is

not " conspiracy theory " its conspiracy FACT.

 

Questions?

cover the ANH anticipated victory in the ECJ for Life Extension Magazine

IAHF Webmaster: Codex Emergency, Whats New, What to Do, Codex, EU FSD,

All Countries

 

IAHF List: I am off to Luxembourg this weekend to cover that transpires

in the European Court of Justice on January 25 when the UK based

Alliance for Natural Health http://www.alliance-natural-health.org

goes into

the largest courtroom in the ECJ to blow the hated, anti consumer, EU

Food Supplements Directive to SMITHEREENS.

 

If you are an American, to defend your health freedom, it is IMPERATIVE

that you take the following two simple actions IMMEDIATELY:

 

1) Read the news article below from the American Herbal Products Assn

which trashes the recent IOM Report, citing numerous gross and

misleading inaccuracies in it that shows just how low these Pharma Lap

Dogs will

go in their zeal to scuttle the Dietary Supplement Health and Education

Act of 1994.

 

Grasp fully the danger we are in: Members of Congress will accept what

IOM is saying, taking it at FACE VALUE unless YOU take the trouble to

EDUCATE THEM by calling them to tell them about AHPAs numerous quite

valid criticisms. Tell them you will drive them out of office if they

attempt to amend DSHEA in ANY WAY WHATSOEVER.

 

2) The UK Based Alliance for Natural Health had their legal fees jacked

up by the law firm representing them, and need EMERGENCY DONATIONS over

their secure server at http://www.alliance-natural-health.org as they

head into court this coming Tuesday, January 25th.

 

3. To FULLY GRASP the danger dietary supplement consumers WORLD WIDE

are in due to CODEX & the EU FSD, watch the DVD " Push Back From CODEX

CLIFF " which you may view at NO CHARGE on streaming video at

http://www.glycommunity.com/iahf This DVD was shot of our EMERGENCY

HEALTH FREEDOM MTG at ACAM in San Diego in November. Our program was

MC ed

by a health freedom ICON- Jonathan V. Wright, MD

 

4. Order copies of this DVD to pass out to health food store owners,

especially the ones that are members of NNFA, so we can blow their pharma

connected legal counsels spin against our message to SMITHEREENS just

as ANH is going to do on TUESDAY to the EU FSD.

 

5. Pray for ANH, IAHF, and all allied organizations world wide, and

work with us. We are a true grass roots movement, and we're only going to

keep growing in size. Please snowball this URGENT ALERT!! To help IAHF

on an emergency basis as well, please pump donations in to IAHF.COM

You will see the paypal button on the top of the scrollbar on the

interior of the site. Alternatively, please send donations to: IAHF 556

Boundary Bay Rd., Point Roberts, WA 98281 USA........ With YOUR HELP

we WILL

DESTROY the Pharma Cartel.... once and for ALL....... now please read

the very important article below, and snowball this alert. Each one,

teach 10, each 10 teach 10,000,000.

Flawed Report from IOM Calls for Amending DSHEA

2005-01-13 - American Herbal Products Association (AHPA)

 

(Silver Spring, MD) -- In a report based on erroneous assumptions and

discredited references, the Institutes of Medicine (IOM) has called for

amenndments to the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA)

that, while largely redundant to the current law, will almost certainly

be waved about and cited by critics of the dietary supplement industry

for years to come.

 

" It is unfortunate that such an imminently qualified group of experts

was presented with such flawed assumptions about the current regulatory

scheme for dietary supplements, " said Michael McGuffin, president of

the American Herbal Products Association (AHPA). " The recommendations

that resulted from all of the effort that went into this federally funded

project have been wasted, and the very credibility of the IOM has been

damaged. "

 

The prepublication version of the report, Use of Complementary and

Alternative Medicine (CAM) by the American Public, was made available on

IOM's website today and a press conference was held in Washington DC to

announce its publication. The report was purportedly prepared " to

explore scientific, policy, and practice questions that arise from the

significant and increasing use of CAM therapies by the American

public. " One

chapter of the report was dedicated to dietary supplements, as was a

significant portion of the press conference.

 

 

Errors in the report

 

Examples of errors included in the report include:

 

In discussing safety of dietary supplements, the report states,

" Instead of premarketing testing, FDA must prove that a supplement is

unsafe

to remove it from the market. " As all AHPA members who are familiar with

the requirements for new dietary ingredients know, this is not true.

The apparent reference in support of this misleading statement is a 1995

FDA document accessed on FDA's website – which AHPA has requested be

removed!

In a table that summarized and compares FDA regulation of foods, drugs

and dietary supplements, the burden on manufacturers to provide

conclusive evidence of safety prior to marketing new ingredients is

ignored,

and the table states that FDA bears the burden of proof for

" demonstrating safety or lack thereof " for all dietary supplements.

And what was

the reference for that oversight, which again ignores the law on new

ingredients?: IOM's own publication from 2004 – which AHPA requested be

corrected, prior to its final publication!

In discussing the ongoing process of awaiting FDA's final rule on good

manufacturing practice specific to dietary supplements, the report

states that GMP " will require standards… to reduce the risk of

contamination with pesticides, heavy metals, and other impurities. " It

is apparent

that IOM was not aware that all supplement manufacturers are currently

required to meet the same high standard of manufacturing practice that

is required for all U.S. food producers – and so are already required

to address all of the cited contamination issues.

The document cites a survey of public attitudes about dietary

supplements: " Slightly more than half (53 percent) were aware that

supplements

are not regulated by the government. "

 

" What is sad about this citation is that it makes it apparent that 100

percent of the panel was misinformed about the regulatory status of

dietary supplements, " commented McGuffin. " How can anyone propose

amendments to a law that they do not understand? "

Recommended amendments to DSHEA

 

The report's chapter on dietary states concludes by stating that " … the

committee recommends that the U.S. Congress and federal agencies, in

consultation with industry, research scientists, consumers, and other

stakeholders, amend the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of

1994 and the current regulatory scheme for dietary supplements, with

emphasis on strengthening:

 

Seed-to-shelf quality control,

Accuracy and comprehensiveness in labeling and other disclosure

Enforcement efforts against inaccurate and misleading claims,

Research into how consumers use supplements,

Incentives for privately funded research into the efficacies of

products and brands, and

Consumer protection against all potential hazards. "

 

" DSHEA is a good law that already forbids misleading claims and

requires accurate labeling, including label information that protects

consumers, " added McGuffin. " If FDA does a good job with the imminent GMP

rules, the quality control issue will be addressed. Incentivizing

research

is a worthy conversation, but `public domain' knowledge about herbs must

be considered in any new scheme. So we are left with research on

consumer use of supplements — is IOM proposing that the U.S. Congress

pass a

law to establish a statutory requirement that somebody conduct

surveys? "

 

IOM's press release can be read at

http://www4.nationalacademies.org/news.nsf/isbn/0309092701?OpenDocument.

 

The full IOM report is available online:

supplements (Chapter 9) can be purchased there for $3.00 by following the

prompts to " purchase PDF chapters. "
