Codex posts

[Guest guest]

Hi there! You have asked for member responses to the Codex posts. I

am thankful you continue with other health posting. It has been

difficult for me to read the Codex posts, over the last months. It

is overwhelming and discouraging, induces a feeling of helplessness.

Naturally, this is the effect the people behind Codex want. We are

to feel powerless, incapable of acting. Please be very careful not

to portray the situation as doom and gloom, and continue to offer

options for people to act (the remedy for helplessness). Also,

please be mindful that not all your readers are Americans, and so

urging us to contact U.S. congressmen, is not an option for

everyone. On occassion, I note options offered for Canadians, and

this is helpful. I have forwarded an Alt. Med. post on Codex to my

Naturopath, who is well connected. Some of our local Health

Publications have written articles on Codex, so it's not completely

unknown. Speaking to people about it, generally, I find the subject

of Codex met with: " What's that? " There are activists in Canada, who

have been warning about the Pharma take over of nutritional

supplements. They don't want supplements banned, they just want to

swoop in like pirates, and have absolute control and ownership of

them. This was from a former Health Canada employee. Some of your

member postings are right (in my view), in that " They " own the system

and have created it, and we cannot fight them on their own turf.

They are likely vulnerable, nevertheless, and knowing where and how

to battle outside their turf seems one way of approaching this.

Surely there are brilliant minds, who can guide us in how and where.

Please continue your updates on Codex, but please be mindful of the

effects upon us. Continue to advocate actions, and I like the

suggestion of a goal of informing 4 persons a day. Just my

thoughts. Steve
