New Zealand Health Freedom Battle Needs Global Assistance-

Codex Seen in Microcosm Via the NZ Lens.....

 

 

 

 

IAHF Webmaster: Breaking News, Codex, Trans Tasman Harm-onization,

Australia, New Zealand, All Countries

 

IAHF List: SEE URGENT ALERT BELOW MY MESSAGE Please forward this to

anyone you know in Australia or New Zealand and no matter what country

you

live in please take heed: the full court Pharma Press that New Zealand

Vitamin consumers are experiencing right now (Coming from pharma

dominated Australia) is soon to be felt by the WORLD unless more

people band

together to kill ratification of the Codex vitamin standard in July...

See http://www.lef.org/featured-articles/emergency_update_020705.htm

 

Also... some scurrulous LIES have just been disseminated to Mannatech

distributors and other network marketers on the Codex issue by Mark

LeDoux, Board member of CRN. IAHF will be skewering his disinformation in

the near future and we'll need all your help to awaken those who are

still sleep walking towards a largely unseen cliff which is being

obscured

by bald faced liars such as LeDoux. CRN is a pharma dominated vitamin

trade association whose membership includes Bayer, BASF, Pfizer, Wyeth,

Monsanto, etc, its a gross conflict of interest that Mannatech and

other network marketing vitamin companies belong to this horrible trade

association.

 

FROM MIKE BENDING IN AUSTRALIA TO VITAMIN CONSUMERS IN NEW ZEALAND,

AUSTRALIA AND THE WORLD:

 

Dear Health Freedom Advocate,

Some of you may have just plugged into these issues, some of you may

not be up to date. At present the Australian Therapeutic Goods

Administration (TGA) is trying to force its self upon the New Zealand

(NZ)

people. Elements in the NZ government have been trying to railroad this

legislation through the parliament.This process has been gathering

momentum

over the last two years or so....It also seems suspiciously well timed

in that it coincides with the prohibitive legislation being thrust upon

Europe, the UK and soon the world.

 

If New Zealand falls this will have disastrous effects for many

Australians as New Zealand is a back door for many safe and effective

health

products which have been banned or disallowed in Australia. New Zealand

has enjoyed liberal health laws for many years without any health

products posing danger to the public however, now, it seems the

Australian

TGA believes NZ's not so dangerous system needs conforming to our rigid,

restrictive system .....This is an obviously transparent grab at

controlling the NZ health industry by the pharmaceutical industry

dominated

TGA.

 

If you know of any New Zealanders then please distribute this news

letter and have them connect with David Sloan and the NZ Health Trust.

We need your help right now!

 

We have recently become aware that despite its assurances to date, the

National Party may be planning to support the Government's disastrous

Trans Tasman Therapeutic Goods Agency (TTTGA) legislation. If the

Government gets National's support, the legislation needed to create

the new

agency would be able to be passed.

 

If NZ adopts the TTTGA, economic experts say this will cost the country

jobs as some businesses go under while prices go up and consumers have

less choice.

 

Here is a list of actions we urge you to take NOW.

 

Please go to the website

http://nzhealthtrust.co.nz/cgi-bin/massmailerMPs.cgi?

to send an email to Opposition leader Don Brash and his health

spokesman Dr Paul Hutchison, asking them not to turn their backs on

the New

Zealand natural health products sector.

Dear Drs Brash and Hutchison

 

I have been following the Government proposal to create a Trans Tasman

Therapeutic Goods Agency which would give the power to control all

therapeutic products, including natural health products, medical devices

and pharmaceuticals to an Australian based agency.

 

Until now I have been glad to hear of National's opposition to this

proposal but recently have heard that despite its statements against the

Joint Agency, National is considering supporting the enabling

legislation. It has been shown the TTTGA will bring with it a

staggering increase

in compliance costs, the death of many New Zealand businesses and give

a commercial advantage to their Australian counterparts.

 

You should know that over 2 million New Zealanders use natural health

products and also this industry is predominantly made up of small to

medium local enterprises. By risking the local industry you are risking

the support of many New Zealanders like myself.

 

Natural Health Products must NOT be treated like pharmaceuticals or

regulated under the same body as them.

 

Natural health products simply do not have the same risk as

pharmaceuticals.

 

They need to be regulated as the separate industry that they are and

that regulation MUST be based in, and controlled by, New Zealand.

 

The proposals have already been shown to achieve nothing in the way of

increased public safety

 

Yours sincerely,
