Guest guest Posted February 1, 2005 Report Share Posted February 1, 2005 CODEX May Be In Effect By The Summer - URGENT! If you take supplements or ever plan to take supplements the following is VERY important. I am a cancer survivor, in part, through nutrition and nutritional supplements and I take all of this very personally. We are now in a very serious time as far as vitamins and supplements are concerned. It is not a game (as some have thought) nor is it something that “will resolve itself.†I am asking you to take the time to contact your representatives, senators and yes, even the White House. If Americans don’t stand up then we are *allowing* the world organizations to rule our country. Please pass this along to everyone in your address lists and to your newsletter lists. If you have specific questions, please email me. " This may well be law unless YOU call your senator, your representative NOW and demand that these restrictive laws NOT be implemented here in the US as THEY ALREADY HAVE BEEN in Europe. For anyone that cares about their health, or for example takes 1000 milligrams of Vitamin C or Echinacea and Zinc at the first sign of a cold PLEASE READ --- THIS IS URGENT. Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may end in June-August of this year (2005). After that U.S. supplements will be defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (Food Code) is setting the supplement standards for all countries in the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and will over ride U.S. laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to this take-over when the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are punished by WTO trade sanctions. CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004 and finalized " Step 8 (the final stage) " to begin implementation in June, 2005. The CODE includes: (1) No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use. (2) Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a " drug " requiring a prescription and must be produced by drug companies. Over 5000 safe items now in health stores will be banned, terminating health stores as we now know them. (3) CODEX regulations become binding internationally. (Already implemented in Europe.) (4) New supplements are banned unless given very expensive CODEX testing and approval. CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where zinc tablets rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient immune-enhancement herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples are now allowed by prescription only). They are now " drugs " . Vitamin C above 200 mg, niacin above 32 mg, and vitamin B6 above 4 mg-all are banned over-the-counter as drugs. No amino acids (arginine, lysine, carnitine, etc. (these are essential amino acids!), essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 9, etc.), or other essential supplements such as DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are allowed. The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They are made by a few people meeting in secret (see web sites below), not necessarily scientists. In 1993 the FDA and drug corporations tried to put all supplements under restriction and prescription. But over 4 million Americans told Congress and the President to protect their freedom of choice on health supplements. This successful outcry resulted in the DSHEA Law (pronounced DeeShay) was passed in 1994, and DSHEA protects YOUR freedom of choice on health supplements. But this will be over ruled by CODEX and the World Trade Organization. Virtually nothing about it has been in the media. What the drug corporations have failed to do through Congress they have gotten by sneak attack through CODEX with the help of a silent media. What can be done at this late hour? (1) Spread the word as much as possible. Inform yourselves fully at www.ahha.org <http://www.ahha.org/> , www.iahf.com <http://www.iahf.com/> , and www.alliance-natural-health.org <http://www.alliance-natural-health.org/> . There is power in making phone calls and sending faxes and mailings (or fed x’ing) to your Congressional Representatives and Senators. Don’t be afraid to contact those who are NOT your representative as well as those that are. Volume of contact is key. If you use email, please use the email form on the individual’s website as I’ve been told that has more impact.
