The Coming " US Health Movement v. Big Pharma " Codex War...

Tuesday, April 5th, 2005

This morning I received an e-mail from my attorney friend, and fellow

health activist, Ralph Fucetola, The Vitamin Lawyer, telling me about

the victory in Europe against the " European Food Directive " . It was

held, by the Court, to be invalid. Here's what Ralph said:

" Bulletin: EU Food Directive Held Invalid - 04/05/05 - The EU Advocate

General held: " The Food Supplements Directive infringes the principle

of proportionality because basic principles of Community law, such as

the requirements of legal protection, of legal certainty and of sound

administration have not properly been taken into account. "

The European Court is expected to uphold this determination in June,

thereby preserving access to Dietary Supplements. The Codex threat (see

below) remains real, but this is a great victory that will allow the

Health Freedom Movement to go from defense to offense: we want our rights

under DSHEA (the 1994 law that allows health claims for vitamins) to be

strengthened and we want the rest of the world's food supplement rules

harmonized to our freedoms!

Congratulations to the Alliance and all its supporters!

What does this all mean? It means we are going to get some breathing

room - it doesn't mean we've won the war. North America is Big Pharma's

next target.
