Does everyone here know about CODEX ALIMENITARIUS?

WHAT CODEX WILL BRING

What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important

points:

 

Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or

therapeutic use.

 

Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies

and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and

sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices).

 

Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses

allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin).

 

Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a

third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies

could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered

a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.

 

Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape

clauses would be eliminated).

 

All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex

testing and approval.

 

Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.

The US plans to implement CODEX so that a number will be necessary to grow

your own chives or tomatoes.

According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of

International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look

forward to:

" If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals,

homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for

granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex

Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can

be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major

pharmaceutical firms. Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the

Canadian Health Food Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada

(HPB).

The Codex Alimentarius proposals already exist as law in Norway and Germany

where the entire health food industry has literally been taken over by the drug

companies. In these countries, vitamin C above 200 mg is illegal as is vitamin E

above 45 IU, vitamin B1 over 2.4 mg and so on. Shering-Plough, the Norway

pharmaceutical giant, now controls an Echinacea tincture, which is being sold

there as an over the counter drug at grossly inflated prices. The same is true

of ginkgo and many other herbs, and only one government controlled pharmacy has

the right to import supplements as medicines which they can sell to health food

stores, convenience stores or pharmacies. "

It is now a criminal offence in parts of Europe to sell herbs as foods. An

agreement called EEC6565 equates selling herbs as foods to selling other illegal

drugs. Action is being taken to accelerate other European countries into

'harmonization' as well.

Paul Hellyer in his book, " The Evil Empire, " states: " Codex Alimentarius is

supported by international banks and multinational corporations including some

in Canada, and is in reality a bill of rights for these banks and the

corporations they control. It will hand over our sovereign rights concerning who

may or may not invest in our countries to an unelected world organization run by

big business. The treaty would make it impossible for Canadian legislators

either federal or provincial to alter or improve environmental standards for

fear of being sued by multinational corporations whether operating in Canada or

not.

This will create a world without borders ruled by a virtual dictatorship of

the world's most powerful central banks and multinational companies. This world

is an absolute certainty if we all sit on our hands and do nothing. "
