A possible MIRACLE in Rome in the CODEX battle¡­

[Guest guest]

At the very end of today¡¯s deliberations, the WHO, one of the

parent bodies of CODEX, made it clear that CODEX had done little to

advance health during its 42 years of existence and that was about

to end. The WHO Global strategy for diet, exercise, nutrition and

health WOULD be implemented by CODEX and, in order to do that, the

two committees of CODEX which could deal with nutrition WOULD deal

with nutrition. The focus and mandate of the CODEX Committee on Food

Labeling (which prohibits claims of any health benefit) and the

CODEX COMMITTEE on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (Dr.

Grossklaus¡¯ committee) are going to change their Terms of Reference

(focus and mandate) to include nutrition and CODEX will make a

yearly report to the World Health Assembly about its progress in

implementing the WHO Strategy!

 

No choice, no way out for CODEX out of this one. Unless, of course,

the Bigs (Big Pharma, Big Agra Biz, Big Chema, Big Biotechna and Big

Medica) get to twist some arms and fill some pockets.

 

The battle is not over, by any means, and the war is not won BUT we

have some heavies, who, by the way, hold the purse strings for

CODEX, on the side of health freedom. Now we need to lobby, support

Congressional pressure on the process, become strongly useful to the

WHO and FAO in shaping their policies and help the US CODEX Office

turn into a bunch of heroes who help CODEX change direction and

adopt DSHEA as the international standard.

It can be done. Let¡¯s do it together!

 

We are already working on strategies domestically and

internationally to make sure we do not lose this golden (and totally

surprising) gift to our side.

 

Have you ever heard of anything in the health and health freedom

arena which is such sudden, surprising and unexpected good news? I

haven¡¯t. This is unprecedented! Let¡¯s make sure we don¡¯t let this

wonderful opportunity slip away either through complacency or

inaction.

 

How do we make sure this is made the most of?

 

Tell everyone you know and, if you have not already done so, follow

the six easy steps to protecting America from CODEX and turn up the

volume. It seems the WHO and FAO are playing our tune, the tune of

health freedom! Let¡¯s all dance!

 

Yours in Health and Freedom,

 

Dr. Laibow, in sveltering Rome
