Guest guest Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 I found this extremely alarming when I read it. It your freedom and hopefully you will have a choice now is when you take a stand. Love you all Nadhirrah www.summerbear.org Codex, as it is known, is a UN-sponsored international effort to regulate or outlaw herbs, vitamins and nutritional supplements and permit high levels of contamination of the global food supply by dangerous chemicals by 2009 in the USA & worldwide. Watch the Codex video and find action links at: http://www.healthfr eedomusa. org The CODEX rules are made in secret and not based on real science. The three drug companies pushing for this German proposal - Hoechst, Bayer and BASF, were formed when the Nuremberg War Trials disbanded IG Farben, manufacturer of the poison gas used in Nazi concentration camps. Codex standards and guidelines were voluntary up until the Uruguay Round of GATT, but the US has signed on with SPS and TBT agreements, which created the WTO that has enforcement power via a new international court. The CODE includes: (1) No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use. (2) Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a " drug " requiring a prescription and must be produced by drug companies. Over 5000 safe items now in health stores will be banned, terminating health stores as we now know them. (3) CODEX regulations become binding internationally. (Already implemented in Europe.) (4) New supplements are banned unless given very expensive CODEX testing and approval. CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where zinc tablets rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient immune-enhancement herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples are now allowed by prescription only).They are now " drugs " . Vitamin C above 200 mg, niacin above 32 mg, and vitamin B6 above 4 mg-all are banned over- the-counter as drugs. No amino acids (arginine, lysine, carnitine, etc. (these are essential amino acids!), essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 9, etc.), or other essential supplements such as DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are allowed.
