Sharon: you commented:

The FDA must be in bed with the Pharma people everyone else is.

 

I cannot but agree with your perspective from what I have been reading and hearing. And I doubt it is just in the USA either. Here in Australia we have the TGA, and Great Britain has its own organisations.... then you have the debacle of CODEX happening in and across Europe. The one positive light currently is that NZ did not get the 'numbers' etc so that they could vote to become a part of the organised TGA down here...........

 

Interested .... As part of it’s overall commitment to educating New Zealanders on issues affecting their health and health choices the Trust has been leading the opposition to the New Zealand Government’s plan to treat natural health products as drugs and give the power to control them to the controversial Australian Therapeutic Goods Administration. The Trust has spent the last 5 years presenting evidence to the New Zealand Parliament on how damaging this proposal would be to the natural health options of New Zealanders.

It is simply amazing how little the 'average' person, or health food shop keeper seems to know about what CODEX is all about. Dr. Matthias Rath has many many papers writte to help us educate ourselves..... about what is happening and about the frauds being perpetuated by 'other' organisations. Here are links to just a few.

And for anyone who is even slightly interested in what the FDA and BIG PHARMA are up to a GOOGLE search can keep you reading and retching for hours. For example:

Regarding Australia NZ and the TGA this is worth reading and noting I think.

The Australian Therapeutic Products Bill 2007Update - 28th July 2007

Following on from the Pan crisis and Codex, the Australian government expects to control vitamins and supplements in New Zealand in 2008.(See below also to see similar changes in America.)

 

 

 

 

 

"There is a world of difference between potentially harmful nonbiological drugs and innocent - if sometimes misapplied - nutrients.........alien chemicals and natural nutrients should not be treated alike, and if medical education were on the ball, they never would be."

Roger Williams, Nutrition Against Disease, Pitman Publishing Co., 1973.

Bill Defeated in NZ Parliament but Australian Government Expects Legislation to be Passed this Year - Recent Developments.

The Australian government, like other governments around the world (see Misinformation About Pan, & Increased Regulatory Control of Alternative Medicines in Australia & NZ, Pan Crisis, TGA & Pan, Codex in Australia, Pan Crisis & Future of Alternative Medicines, Alternative Medicine Takeover, Response to Government Inquiry), continues to seek to impose restrictions on vitamins and supplements with the Therapeutic Products Bill 2007 which is intended to control the industry in New Zealand (1,2,3,4). According to Adams (5):

 

 

 

 

"New Zealanders face losing their access to thousands of safe and effective natural supplements if the Therapeutic Products and Medicines Bill is passed. That is the inescapable reality.

This bill would hand over all rights New Zealand has to control its own health-products laws to an Australian corporation which will apply the same style of rules that have seen the Australian natural-products industry crippled over the past 15 years."

These changes are understandably causing considerable concern in New Zealand (5,6,7,8,9,10,11) as trends in Australia and around the world reflect a movement to restrict health freedoms by imposing increasingly draconian restrictions on the marketing of vitamins and dietary supplements (see Misinformation About Pan, & Increased Regulatory Control of Alternative Medicines in Australia & NZ, Pan Crisis, TGA & Pan, Codex in Australia, Pan Crisis & Future of Alternative Medicines, Alternative Medicine Takeover, Response to Government Inquiry). It is history now that the Pan crisis in Australia (Pan Crisis) was just a devious and scientifically baseless excuse to introduce draconian controls over the vitamin and supplement industry (Misinformation About Pan, & Increased Regulatory Control of Alternative Medicines in Australia & NZ, TGA & Pan, Codex in Australia, Pan Crisis & Future of Alternative Medicines, Alternative Medicine Takeover, Response to Government Inquiry).
