KISS YOUR VITAMINS GOODBYE!

The U.S. Delegation to Codex has just issued a formal written

statement to the Codex Alimentarius Commission that the United States,

during the July 4-9, 2005, meeting in Rome, will support compulsory

rules created by this international organization directly overruling

U.S. law regarding access to vitamins.

 

The U.S. law that is about to be vanquished is the Dietary Supplement,

Health and Education Act of 1994. Codex is a joint venture between the

United Nation's World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture

Organization. (WHO/FAO) The World Trade Organization (WTO) has already

stated that it will enforce Codex " guidelines " as the world standard

for trade in dietary supplements. This will mean that gradually,

pill-by-pill, our access to the dietary supplements we depend on will

disappear.

 

For those not familiar with the Dietary Supplement Health and

Education Act of 1994, it was passed because 2.5 million ordinary

citizens wanted to make sure dietary supplements such as herbs,

vitamins, minerals and other food-based supplements could stay on the

over-the-counter market. Movement to create this law, known as DSHEA,

started when a 1992 FDA task force published a report announcing the

FDA's desire to remove these products from the shelves as they

represented a " disincentive for patented drug research " .

 

Immediately following this announcement, millions of Americans learned

about how famed vitamin doctor, Jonathan Wright's patient-filled

medical office was raided the same month by nearly two-dozen

gun-toting, flak-jacketed FDA agents in the name of regulating

supplements. Battering down an unlocked office door, these agents,

backed by burly sheriff's department deputies, lined up staff and

patients against the wall, pulled IVs from patients arms in middle of

treatments, confiscated patient records, took the hard drive from the

office computer all because Dr. Jonathan Wright was using nutritional

supplements to heal very sick people who could not get help from

standard allopathic medical care.

 

As the story developed, it turned out that this Gestapo-style raid was

standard operating procedure for the FDA and as the general public

became aware of just how many doctors' offices, manufacturing

companies, distributors and health food stores had been assaulted by

similar raids, the horror of all this forged a mighty health freedom

army that resulted in unanimous passage of DSHEA.

 

The idea of the law was two-fold:

 

1. DSHEA was to make a clear distinction between FOOD, which is

considered generally safe and did not need to have permission from the

FDA to be allowed on the market and DRUGS, which are generally toxic,

potentially deadly and in need of lengthy evaluation before they were

available to the public under prescription from a doctor.

 

2. DSHEA provides the FDA with plenty of legal authority to remove

herbs or dietary supplements from the market providing the agency has

plenty of REAL evidence of REAL harm to the public. The FDA also has

the authority to limit the amount of a supplement to low levels IF the

agency has plenty of REAL evidence to prove higher levels ARE ACTUALLY

dangerous.

 

The FDA and its Big Pharma backers have never liked DSHEA because

these products and the related natural healing arts services often

related to them are putting the allopathic drug/surgical/chemical

medical industry to shame.

 

In my book, Death by Modern Medicine, using the allopathic medical

industry's own official reports, I document how 784,000 people die

every year in the American medical system while following doctors'

orders in a highly-regulated allopathic system. The proof that dietary

supplements and the practitioners who promote them are safe and work

as expected is evidenced everywhere. Studies conducted all over the

world have shown that supplements are actually safer than food and

there is simply no hard evidence to show there is ANY risk factor

worthy of discussion, much less needing universal " risk assessment " .

 

Yet, the U.S. Delegation, along with its Big Pharma backers are bound

and determined that Codex force " risk analysis assessments " upon the

American dietary supplement industry so they can bypass the expressed

will of the American people.

 

The REAL reason for promotion of " risk assessment " is based on two

agendas. First, to be able to strip the over-the-counter marketplace

of everything but low quality, low dose-level products that won't do

much to support or improve health. Second, to set up the framework to

allow Big Pharma to take over the supplement market as a new form of

drugs where prices can be jacked up outrageously and doled out by

doctors for a fee.

 

UNDERSTAND THIS: If you do not ACT NOW, you and everyone you love,

will be condemned to living under an international law that denies

your basic right to maintain your health. WITHOUT HEALTH, YOU HAVE NO

FREEDOM!

Readers are also invited to familiarize themselves with IAHF

(International Advocates for Health Freedom).

 

The International Advocates for Health Freedom is a catalytic entity

designed to foster networking between health freedom activists world

wide in order to foster opposition to the elements of coercion: the

UN's International Council of Drug Regulating Authorities, and all

regulating bodies falling under its auspices including the FDA, TGA,

HPB, MCA, MCC etc.

 

The founder of IAHF, John Hammell, has been fighting professionally

for health freedom for 10 years, and first got involved with

alternative medicine after recovering from a life threatening illness

in 1980 via a suppressed alternative treatment mode ( orthomolecular

medicine) after mainstream methods almost killed him. His personal

belief is that herbs and other dietary supplements are gifts to us all

from our Creator. As such, he believes it to be highly immoral for

anyone to try to restrict their availability or to do anything which

would hamper consumer access. For more of an insight on John Hammell

read his articles Why I Fight for Health Freedom and Urgent Appeal

From An Orthomolecular Psychiatric Survivor: Vitamin Access Threatened

Globally.....

 

IAHF staunchly opposes all " harmonizing " language which the

multinational corporations are trying to insert into legislation world

wide in their effort to enslave us via world government. IAHF believes

strongly in individual liberty as espoused by the US Constitution, the

Libertarian Party, and by the International Societies of Individual

Liberty (ISIL). Central to our philosophy is that the elements of

coercion have no right whatsoever to tell us what substances we can

ingest into our bodies, as they belong to US, not the statists. IAHF

is currently working with health freedom fighters located in America,

Canada, Mexico, Brazil, the UK, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, Sweden,

Norway, Iceland, Australia, New Zealand, Japan, Malaysia, S. Africa,

and Zimbabwe. IAHF does not discriminate against anyone on a basis of

religion, politics, race, or gender - if you are a health freedom

fighter, you are one of us!
