Did You Fall for the 12/31/09 Codex Scam?

[Guest guest]

I am not so sure it was a scam...

My understanding was that it iwas in a bill...and that if passed, would have

been a serious issue...but also that the bill that contained codex A...would

expire at the end of the year and if reconstructed after that - could be a

potential mess...and potential problem...

so the bill expired and will now have to be re-crafted...

so feel free to correct what may be in error here...

NATIONAL HEALTH FEDERATION

 

A NOT-FOR-PROFIT HEALTH-FREEDOM ORGANIZATION

 

 

 

 

 

PRESS RELEASE

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DECEMBER 31, 2009 –

 

 

 

WHERE WERE YOU WHEN THE EARTH ENDED?

 

 

 

 

 

January 4, 2010

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Many of you kept hearing the message for these many months now, “Codex is

 

coming into effect as of December 31, 2009.†Depending on the source, the

 

message either stated directly or implied that your dietary supplements

 

were in danger after that date. And how many of you fell for that false siren

 

cry?

 

 

 

 

 

Be honest. Raise your hand if you did, and many will, because that false

 

cry of alarm was circulated on the internet for so long by persons who

 

should have known better, who still hold themselves out as “experts†on

Codex,

 

and who constantly tap you for donations so that their “expertise†and “

 

important messages†can be spread far and wide. What expertise? What

 

important messages? It’s nonsense; and too many people fell for and bought

that

 

nonsense hook, line, and sinker. And are still believing it even now!

 

 

 

 

 

Listen!

 

 

 

 

 

Well, December 31, 2009 has come and gone and there is no enactment of

 

Codex “regulations†on dietary supplements into law in the United States.

 

Yes, the European Union’s Food Supplements Directive has come into full

 

effect; but that is a far different beast, not to be confused – as so many

have –

 

with Codex Alimentarius.

 

 

 

 

 

Is Codex Alimentarius, as its standards are currently being developed, a

 

danger? Absolutely. But were the Codex Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplement

 

Guidelines going to be made into “law†as of December 31st? Absolutely

 

not. And we at the National Health Federation, the only health-freedom

 

organization accredited by Codex to attend and speak out at its meetings, have

 

told you for a very long time now that December 31, 2009, was not a Codex

 

threat date. The truth is it never was.

 

 

 

 

 

Fool Me Once, Shame on You – Fool Me Twice, Shame on Me

 

 

 

 

 

Those people who misinformed you all these months are the same ones who

 

almost five years ago also claimed that Codex would eliminate vitamins and

 

minerals from American health-food store shelves by July 31, 2005. Well,

 

that date also came and went without that happening. Now they have a larger

 

audience and one that is ignorant of these earlier false claims. How many

 

more false cries will have to come and go before people wake up to the fact

 

that they should stop listening to anyone who claimed that December 31st

 

was a Codex danger date? How much more time must pass before that audience

 

realizes that they have been suckers, steered in a wrong direction and with

 

a false message?

 

 

 

 

 

Now, these same Codex “experts†are pretending that somehow the date was

“

 

pushed back.†“Whew,†they say, now it will be later. Last November, if

 

not before, they must have seen this December 31st date coming up hard and

 

fast on them and wondered how they could possibly wiggle out of it. How

 

to explain, then, to their sucker audience when that date arrived that

 

December 31st was no longer a “danger†(since it never had been in the

 

beginning)? That’s it, yes, “Push Back.†The date was “pushed

back.†How

 

simple. How neat. And how absolutely false.

 

 

 

 

 

The Only Freedom Force at Codex

 

 

 

 

 

The only health-freedom organization that has any standing whatsoever at

 

the Codex Alimentarius meetings is the National Health Federation. We are

 

the only such ones who can speak out at Codex meetings, submit documents for

 

delegates’ review, and interact in real-time with the other delegates as

 

the meeting discussions are happening.

 

 

 

 

 

Even if you consider those who attend Codex meetings as voiceless, passive

 

observers, the NHF has still attended more Codex meetings than all other

 

health-freedom organizations combined. So, we not only have actual

 

participatory experience, but we have more experience in general. Plus, we

don’t

 

feed you a load of horse manure, unnecessarily alarming you, just so we

 

will look good. We tell you the truth.

 

 

 

 

 

Realize, the way Codex works is that they do not really listen to anyone

 

outside of the Codex process. That’s why the only ones who can make a

 

difference at the Codex levels are those on the inside, such as the NHF. That

 

is exactly how, at the last Codex Committee meeting in Germany, NHF was able

 

to stop a very anti-health document setting absurdly-low Nutrient

 

Reference Values (NRVs) from advancing. Without NHF, this document would have

 

advanced forward towards completion.

 

 

 

 

 

Get off the Sucker Train

 

 

 

 

 

So, where were you when the Earth “ended†last New Year’s Eve? On the

 

sucker train? And are you still on it? Do you still actually believe that

 

the Codex Food Supplements standards became law on or the day after that

 

date? The Tooth Fairy is more real than that nonsense, at least a child can

 

get some money for a tooth. With the other, you just get a red face.

 

 

 

 

 

If you want the real information on what is happening at Codex, visit our

 

NHF website at _www.thenhf. com/codex. html_

 

(http://www.thenhf. com/codex. html) . Better yet, make a donation to keep us

fighting for you in the trenches

 

at the Codex meetings. We need your help, here and now - you help no one

 

if you waste your time, money, and energy by chasing ghosts and worrying

 

about phantom regulatory deadlines.

 

 

 

 

 

_Donate here_ (https://www. thenhf.com/ simple_donations .htm) and help us

 

fight for your health freedom. The real health-freedom heroes are all of

 

those NHF Members and other supporters who did not fall for the 12/31/09

 

Codex joke and kept supporting us through thick and thin in the real fight.

 

 

 

 

 

Will you be part of the solution? Or will you be part of the diversion?

 

Please start right now to be part of the solution by sending this e-mail on

 

to everyone you know who would be interested in knowing the truth. And

 

help put an end to the misinformation about 12/31/09.
