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?

 

Go to the Advocacy Action Center Click Here ( or

http://capwiz.com/nnfa/home/) and voice your opinion to Congress on

upcoming legislation which effects your access to nutritional

supplements. One Click letter to both of your senators and house

representative in Congress, and the president. Follow up with calls

and faxes.

 

SPREAD THE WORD:

Tell everyone, your friends, co-workers, natural and alternative

health care as well as western medicine practitioners.

Let your local health food stores and restaurants know. You would be

surprised, but most of them never heard of CODEX.

 

If we can pull of of the Kyoto Treaty, we can pull out of Codex.

INSIST they pull out of CODEX.

 

 

 

 

In the beginning of a change, the patriot is a scarce and brave man,

hated and scorned. When his cause succeeds however, the timid join

him, for then it costs nothing to be a patriot.- - Mark Twain

 

Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can

change the world. Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has - -

Margaret Mead

 

In a time of universal deceit, telling the truth is a revolutionary

act.-- George Orwell
