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.
