History has it that whenever there is a process of historic change

underway, the status quo engages agents of disinformation in order to slow down

this process. The case of the liberation of human health from the monopoly of

pharmaceutical drugs, and the incorporation of science based natural

health approaches into public health policies, is no exception.

 

 

A Modern Major General Exposed?

The fictional Major-General who appears in Gilbert and Sullivan's 1879

comic opera " The Pirates of Penzance " famously sings boastfully about his

extremely wide general knowledge. Hardly the most modest of people, he

comically claims to know about or to understand all manner of disparate

subjects,

and repeatedly tells the audience that he is " the very model of a modern

Major-General. " Not entirely dissimilarly therefore, the health freedom

movement has recently been subjected to the increasingly bizarre claims of a

real-life Major-General, a man who, rather like his counterpart in The Pirates

of Penzance, claims to be an expert in all manner of things.

Codex and Health Freedom – Be Wary of the ‘Instant Experts’

There is currently a significant amount of inaccurate and misleading

information circulating on the internet about Codex and other related health

freedom issues, much of which would appear to have originated on the website

of the so-called Natural Solutions Foundation. Whilst the Natural Solutions

Foundation's Medical Director, Rima Laibow, claims to have carefully

studied more than 16,000 pages of Codex documentation, the content of her

articles and the nature of her proposed strategies strongly suggests otherwise.

The following article may therefore help you to sort the facts from the

fiction.

Miracle in Rome?

The Natural Solutions Foundation reported after the July 2005 meeting of

the Codex Alimentarius Commission in Rome that a " miracle " had occurred, and

that World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture

Organization of the United Nations (FAO) had expressed " significant displeasure

with the anti-health approach to nutrition taken by Codex over the past 4

decades. " The Natural Solutions Foundation's reports also claimed, variously,

that a WHO Under Secretary for Food Safety had spoken " sternly, sharply and

scathingly of the fact that little contribution to human health had been

made by Codex " ; that WHO had stated that " things would be different in the

future " ; that the Terms of Reference of the Codex Committee on Food Labeling

and the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses are

going to be redefined; that " Codex will implement the WHO Global Strategy

for world health through diet, physical exercise and nutrition " ; and that

" Codex will make a yearly report to the World Health Assembly about its

progress in implementing the WHO Strategy " . So, is there any truth behind these

claims? In the following article we attempt to set the record straight,

and describe how the Natural Solutions Foundation's assertions are largely

either mistaken or exaggerated.

Codex meeting in Ottawa: Business as Usual, or " Stunning Victory " for

Health Freedom?

May 1-5, 2006, saw the thirty-fourth meeting of the Codex Committee on

Food Labelling (CCFL) take place in Ottawa, Canada. Along with the Codex

Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU), CCFL is

one

of the main Codex committees whose work is increasingly threatening the

future of natural healthcare and health freedom. Reporting on the meeting,

Rima Laibow and Major General Albert (Bert) N. Stubblebine III (U.S. Army,

Retired), founders of the so-called Natural Solutions Foundation, curiously

chose to describe the outcome as having been a " Stunning Victory " for health

freedom, despite the fact that this assertion has absolutely no basis in

fact. So, what really happened in Ottawa, and why are Codex reports issued

by the Natural Solutions Foundation increasingly at odds with those of more

experienced observers, including even those of its own Legal Counsel?

Big Media: Not an Ally in the Campaign for Vitamin Freedom

From time to time, people write and ask us why the media doesn’t give more

publicity to the issues that we cover on our website. If all of the things

on the Foundation’s website are true, they reason, then wouldn’t the

media be reporting on them as well? To illustrate why such thinking is naïve,

and in response to the many requests we have received to speak out about the

TV item on Codex that was broadcast in May 2008 on the Tros TV channel in

the Netherlands, the following article by Paul Anthony Taylor, the

Foundation’s External Relations Director, explains why Big Media cannot be

seen as

an ally in the campaign for vitamin freedom and how the inaccurate Codex

reporting of Rima Laibow is used as a means of discrediting all critical

reporting on Codex, from whatever source.

Dr. Matthias Rath - Biography

h.htm)

 

 

Dr. Rath was born in Stuttgart, Germany, in 1955. After graduating from

medical school he worked as a physician and researcher at the University

Clinic of Hamburg, Germany and the German Heart Center in Berlin. His research

focused on the causes of arteriosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.

 

In 1987, Dr. Rath discovered the connection between vitamin C deficiency

and a new risk factor for heart disease- lipoprotein(a). After publication

of these research findings in the American Heart Association journal “

Arteriosclerosis,†Dr. Rath accepted an invitation to join two-time Nobel

Laureate Linus Pauling. In 1990 he went to the United States to become the

first of Cardiovascular Research at the Linus Pauling Institute in Palo

Alto, California.

 

Dr. Rath worked together with the late Nobel Laureate in various areas of

nutritional research. The two scientists became close personal friends who

shared common humanistic values, including their determination for peace

and justice. In 1994, shortly before his death, Linus Pauling stated: “There

is no doubt in my mind that I was thinking about Dr. Rath as my successor.â€

 

Today Dr. Rath heads a research and development institute in nutritional

and Cellular Medicine. His institute is conducting basic research and

clinical studies to scientifically document the health benefits of

micronutrients

in fighting a multitude of diseases. Dr. Rath is the founder of the

scientific concept of Cellular Medicine, the systematic introduction into

clinical medicine of the biochemical knowledge of the role of micronutrients as

biocatalysts in a multitude of metabolic reactions at the cellular level.

Applying this scientific knowledge in the fight against diseases, he and his

research team have identified the following common health conditions as being

primarily caused by chronic deficiencies of micronutrients:

 

-- Arteriosclerosis (the cause of coronary heart disease and stroke)

-- High Blood Pressure

-- Heart Failure

-- Irregular Heart Beat

-- Diabetic circulatory problems

-- Osteoporosis

-- Many forms of cancer

-- Immune deficiencies as a precondition for a variety of infectious

diseases, including AIDS

 

 

Dr. Rath is a member of the New York Academy of Sciences, the American

Heart Association and other scientific organizations. His popular science

books “Why Animals Don’t get Heart Attacks – but People Do†and

“Cancerâ€

have sold several million copies in ten languages.

 

" Fighting for a medical breakthrough against existing interests and

dogmas is like sailing on the ocean, " says Dr. Rath, " the wind that blows in

your face becomes your compass. " And he adds: " You don't have to be a

university professor or Nobel Laureate; what counts is that heart attacks,

strokes,

cancer and many other diseases will essentially be unknown in the future. "

 

Dr. Rath is an outspoken advocate for patient rights and for free access

to natural health worldwide. His advocacy continues to be instrumental in

preventing a global ban on natural health therapies on behalf of the

pharmaceutical industry. To protect their global market of patented drugs, this

industry is seeking a global ban on preventive and therapeutic health

information in relation to natural, non-patentable therapies by abusing the

United

Nations “Codex Alimentarius†(Food Standard) Commission.

 

In recognition of his civil courage against the pharmaceutical interests

and his efforts on behalf of the people of the world, he received the

prestigious 2001 “_Bulwark of Liberty Award_

(http://www4.dr-rath-foundation.org/THE_FOUNDATION/About_Dr_Matthias_Rath/bulwar\

k.htm) †from the American

Preventive Medical Association.

 

Dr. Rath pioneered a new way of responsible enterpreneurship: all profits

from the sales of the micronutrient programs developed at his institute go

to the Dr. Rath Health Foundation, a non-profit organization, focusing on

research and education in natural health worldwide.

 

In addition, this non-profit organization supports a broad spectrum of

activities in the field of human health, social justice and – most

importantly

– in the preservation of peace. In this effort Dr. Rath sees the work of

his Foundation as following in the spirit of Nobel Peace prizewinners like

Linus Pauling, Albert Schweitzer, Martin Luther King Jr. and Nelson Mandela.

 

Dr. Rath comes from a modest background. His parents were farmers in

Southern Germany who passed their humanitarian values on to their children.

" These values, " says Dr. Rath, " are still a driving force for me. My life is an

example that you do not have to be born privileged to make a contribution

to a better world. "

 

 

Scientific Publications by Dr. Rath:

 

During his career Dr. Rath has made scientific discoveries that rank among

the most important discoveries of all time in the field of medicine.

 

Most importantly, his groundbreaking discoveries in the field of medicine

will improve the health and life of all people for generations to come.
