Would some of you like to assist IAHF with demonstrations against the

FDA in Miami (Sept 13), Boston (Nov. 2) and Phoenix (Nov. 30)?

 

How would you like to join me by registering for these " FDA Public

Meetings " (See their info below), so that YOU TOO can be given 4

Minutes to GIVE THESE BUREAUCRATS FROM HELL A PIECE OF _YOUR_ MIND &

we can videotape it and put it on the WEB to fire up still MORE people

so as to generate a TSUNAMI of opposition to the FDA's CODEX Agenda

and other egregiously offensive policies as well as to the FTAA?

 

If I am the only one, I'll only get 4 minutes to speak, but if SEVERAL

of you JOIN me in each of these cities, we can not only coordinate our

presentations to really SLAM the FDA hard and give 'em something to

THINK ABOUT, but we can ALSO have DEMONSTRATORS in front of the

buildings where these meetings will be taking place, if enough of you

turn out to help!

 

Another reason to attend is to MONITOR the so called " Quackbusters "

who always attend these meetings. These are allies of the FDA's and it

pays to learn what they're up to. They always let their guard down and

get really cocky at these meetings because the FDA are their friends

and we can expect a bunch of them to be out in force urging the FDA to

attack the supplement industry and alternative medicine. Its very

important that we be there to COUNTER them.

 

We can ALSO use this as a way to get a jump on the FTAA, before

Congress has even dropped a bill, and we can send PHOTOS of our

demonstration to every member of Congress along with WARNINGS to those

who violated their OATHS by voting for CAFTA that if they don't RECANT

and admit they made a MISTAKE, we're going to organize TIRELESSLY

against them, ESPECIALLY if they COMPOUND their error by ALSO

supporting FTAA- see http://www.stoptheftaa.org, and see this article

which documents the threat posed by the harmonization language in FTAA:

HERE IS FDA's ANNOUNCEMENT- IF YOU WANT TO PARTICIPATE- YOU MUST

REGISTER ON THEIR

WEBSITE IF YOU WANT TO SPEAK AT THE MEETINGS, YOU DON'T NEED TO

REGISTER IF YOU ONLY WANT TO DEMONSTRATE OUTSIDE

 

FDA to Hold Public 'Conversations' in Three Cities

To help inform consumers about agency programs and to get public

feedback, FDA is holding a series of three public meetings called

" Vision 2006 -- A Conversation With the American Public. " Discussion

topics include drug safety, direct-to-consumer advertising, dietary

supplements, FDA's " Critical Path " initiative, and the advisory

committee process. Meetings are scheduled for Sept. 13 (Miami), Nov. 2

(Boston), and Nov. 30 (Phoenix).

WHY ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO HELP WITH THIS & MORE INFO

 

 

The Dietary Supplement Health & Education Act of 1994 ( " DSHEA " ) is the

only reason you have access to the dietary supplements you enjoy. This

legislation was passed in the face of a direct FDA rulemaking effort

which threatened to destroy your access to supplements in the early

'90s. Today this legislation is under an unprecedented level of attack

both at the international level due to CODEX and global harmonization

of the laws via CAFTA and FTAA, and domestically, with numerous bills

pending in congress that threaten to DESTROY DSHEA.

 

Please let me know if you can join me at a public meeting scheduled by

the FDA on

September 13th in Miami where I need your assistance to let them know

that although they are unelected bureaucrats who seem to think they

can violate the law, and walk all over us with impunity and get away

with it, that they CAN'T, and that WE'RE MONITORING THEM. I intend to

let them know I'm MAD AS HELL, and I'm NOT GONNA TAKE IT ANYMORE (see

specifics below...) I'll have a camcorder and tripod, and need a

volunteer to help film this event so we can put it on the web, to fire

up still MORE people, because a new revolt against the FDA is clearly

in order for the coming year!

 

(We also need demonstrators to protest the meeting from the SIDEWALK

to BACK UP those of us who'll be INSIDE the meeting.)

 

See this FDA Announcement: If you want to help, you'll need to go to

FDA's website and register for the meeting due to limited seating.

Also please contact me at jham, 800-333-2553 to let me know

you'll be there.

 

WHAT I INTEND TO MAKE AN ISSUE OF

 

On July 4th, 2005, in Bonn, Germany, a crime against the American

people was committed by the FDA and the USDA when US Codex Manager

Dr.Ed Scarbrough moved to ratify a finalized Codex vitamin standard

that is intended to screw the American people via harmonization of our

laws to a mindlessly restrictive international Codex standard.

 

 

Scarbrough's accomplice in crime at Codex is Dr.Christine Lewis Taylor

of the FDA who is " on loan " to the World Health Organization where she

is spearheading WHO's " Nutrient Risk Assessment Project " which is in

charge of filling in the blanks on allowable potencies for vitamins,

minerals, and other dietary supplements at Codex.

 

WHY WE NEED TO READ FDA THE RIOT ACT

 

Last May, Taylor sent out a call for applicants to participate in a

(so called) " Nutrient Risk Assessment Workshop " which was convened in

order to generate the methodology intended to be used to " fill in the

blanks " on allowable potencies of vitamins, minerals and other dietary

supplements at the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission.

 

She EXCLUDED over 100 very qualified people from OUR SIDE who wished

to participate including Dr.Rob Verkerk from the UK based Alliance for

Natural Health, despite the fact that his organization was one of only

15 organizations that submitted comments to WHO when they also

requested comments from people about what they're doing.

 

ANH's comments totally expose the gross lack of science inherent in

WHO's " Nutrient Risk Assessment Methodology " wherein they're only

looking at supposed " risks " posed by vitamins and minerals while

totally IGNORING their many BENEFITS. Additionally, ANH has noticed

that WHO has been taking a very SELECTIVE look at the medical

literature, only focusing on negative studies while ignoring positive

studies. They've been basing conclusions on flawed animal data in

cases where far more accurate HUMAN DATA is available, and a host of

other things which clearly illustrate BIAS.

 

This isn't surprising given that Taylor is a registered Dietician, and

the American Dietetic Assn's official policy is that no one needs to

use dietary supplements- their view is that you get all the nutrients

you need from your FOOD (despite the fact that massive evidence

indicates that the soil has been steadily depleted of nutrients by

modern agricultural techniques.)

 

Please see ANH's extensive submission to the WHO at

www.alliance-natural-health.org/_docs/ANHWebsiteDoc_121.pdf

 

Please see this table which shows how WE THINK they plan on filling in

the blanks for allowable potencies at CODEX

www.alliance-natural-health.org/_docs/ANHWebsiteDoc_145.doc

 

These genocidal numbers are what the German government wants, and from

her actions, we think Christine Taylor intends to ignore the wishes of

the American people who voted with their feet against this via passage

of DSHEA. We think she's working with the Germans and against the

American people. We need to make an issue of this because a

congressional oversight hearing on the Codex issue was WHITEWASHED on

March 20, 2001 and the truth did not come out then.

 

We need to push HARDER for PROPER Congressional Oversight on Codex,

ESPECIALLY now that CAFTA was rammed down our throats with FTAA yet to

come. We need to rally the troops and build our grass roots strength

big enough to overcome the spin against our message from the pharma

dominated vitamin trade associations.

Add $6. more for a total of $30. and I'll throw in a copy of the Audio

Tape of the Best Public Talk I've Ever Given on the Codex Issue (From

the PANLA Conference in Pennsylvania in July)

 

Kevin Miller, producer of this documentary on Codex is being sued by a

Rockefeller alligned controlled opposition group which attempted

unsuccessfully to influence the contenct of the DVD and to block

Miller from interracting with IAHF.

 

This controlled opposition group attempted unsuccessfully to hijack

our movement at a conference in Washington DC at which IAHF and allied

organizations banded together to form The Coalition for Health Freedom
