Guest guest Posted August 22, 2005 Report Share Posted August 22, 2005 Original at http://www.rawlifeline.com/~blogger/2005_05_01_ Codex As this important issue has been racing around the internet I thought this artcle was quite direct and to the point in the urgency and mistreatment of this issue please understand that if we do not act on what we believe in we as a community will have many more challenges than we already have or will have. Changing the understanding of a society takes courage hard work and time lets not waste any more than we need to. As valuable as these products are for those who choose to use them I believe nothing compares to good old quality food to nourish our bodies to taste the Most Powerful food on the planet try raw food now...! IAHF Webmaster: Codex Emergency, What to Do, All CountriesIAHF List: Yesterday I sent the following public response to Lisa Garner regarding her grossly inaccurate response to a YL distributor named Jolinehttp://www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+329Today I received the FOLLOWING REPLY from Garner (see below) which I am posting publicly in order to illustrate an important point about the gross dishonesty that seems to pervade the network marketing vitamin company world when it comes to the Codex issue**(*** Note: This should NOT be misconstrued as an attack on individual network marketing distributors who I know to be doing their due diligence on this issue, but it is most definitly well DESERVED criticism levelled at the FRONT OFFICES of ALL Network Marketing Vitamin Companies because NONE are helping to address this issue, and MANY are CAUSING HARM to our efforts to fight back.)Each and every one of these companies should be ACTIVELY ENCOURAGING their members to help KILL the Central American Free Trade Agreement which could come up for a fast track vote THIS MONTH or in early June at the latest for the detailed reasons given at http://www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+329, but they're not.They're NOT because the TRUTH means LITTLE to these companies.The PRIMARY CONCERN of each and every network marketing vitamin company is NOT to defend consumer access to dietary supplements, its to SQUELCH the dissemination of ANY and ALL political information pertaining to health freedom issues that MIGHT SCARE AWAY potential new distributors from entering at the bottom.ALL other concerns are of little importance to these companies which employ dozens of PR Flaks such as Garner to keep a LID on the TRUTH when it comes to issues such as this.How do I know this? Simple: I've been lobbying professionally for health freedom since 1989, and have been around the block more than a few times. I can count the number of times the front offices of ANY network marketing companies have taken strong political stances on issues such as this on the fingers of ONE HAND.I was just ATTACKED by an incensed YLEO distributor who seems to think I owe Lisa Garner and the whole network marketing world an " APOLOGY " for expressing myself in the way I have on this matter, but her anger is about as ABSURD as it would be for someone in a marine battalion to be angered by someone who STRONGLY URGED that everyone pile into the FOXHOLES because radar indicated that an enemy bombing run was IMMINENT.If you are a distributor for YLEO, or any other network marketing company, please forward this widely.A REVOLT is clearly in order against the front office of YLEO and every other network marketing companies front office that is attempting to bury their head in the sand on this issue.Value your ongoing business? Value your ongoing ACCESS to dietary supplements?Great- grasp that YLEO has been mindlessly following the " advice " of the pharma dominated Council for Responsible Nutrition, and pharma dominated IADSA per the urging of the Direct Selling Assn and take it upon yourselves to THINK FOR YOURSELVES on this issue. Read yesterdays alert http://www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+329 and take the recommended actions.Rather than go into " PR MODE " as Garner does below, what would actually IMPRESS me would be if YLEO and all other network marketing companies actually asked all their distributors to send the FORM LETTERS to Congress opposing CAFTA and FTAA out of the realization that these trade agreements WILL DESTROY the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 unless STOPPED.The form letters that can defend YOUR BUSINESS & YOUR ONGOING ACCESS to dietary supplements are contained at the following two websites and should be send immediately:http://www.stoptheftaa.org/cafta/index.htmlhttp://www.citizen.org/tr\ ade/cafta/ Want more details? See yesterday's alert at http://www.ymlp.com/pubarchive_show_message.php?jham+329 I HATE DISHONEST PUBLIC RELATIONS BS, and THIS RESPONSE FROM LISA GARNER TO MY MESSAGE YESTERDAY REEKS OF IT: YLEO SHOULD BE POSTING AN ALERT ON THE FRONT PAGE OF THEIR WEBSITE, AND SHOULD BE ALERTING THEIR DISTRIBUTORS TO TAKE ACTION--- INSTEAD, THEY'RE TRYING TO SWEEP THIS MATTER UNDER THE RUG VIA SLICK PR INTENDED TO _PRETEND_ TO BE ADDRESSING THIS ISSUE: SEE:Fri, 06 May 2005 15:37:03 -0600 " Lisa Garner " , Cc: , , , , , , , , , Re: ANH views on Codex Dear Dr. Verkerk and Mr. Hammell, You are correct, the meeting with Mr. Winegar and ANH took place in2003.

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 YLEO brainwashes their distributors into thinking they are going to save the world and get rich at the same time as alot of ponzi schemes promise. YL will double their revenue when EOs and supplements are by prescription only!

Guest guest Posted August 23, 2005 Report Share Posted August 23, 2005 I will stay out of the issue of YLEO, but I do feel compelled to come to the defense of an industry I love: network marketing aka multilevel marketing or MLM for short. Yes, MLM has its share of scalliwags and scumbags and overdone hype. So does religion. That is no reason to give up on it. A pyramid scheme has no product at its heart. A bona fide company is about products (or service) first of all. It simply uses a different system of distribution. I have bought high-quality products from several nwm companies that I have absolutely no financial interest in. I don't have to leave my rural area to get them. They are delivered to my door or the post office. Instead of a series of middlemen, warehouses, stores, sales people and advertising agencies earning money from my purchase one of my friends makes a commission. Can I live with that? You betcha!
