Critical Victory for Worldwide Natural Health Freedom Berlin, Germany. The pharmaceutical industry's efforts to protect its trillion-dollar global market for frequently dangerous drugs has been thwarted. At a meeting in Berlin, pharmaceutical industry executives and politicians representing more than 50 countries met this week under the umbrella of the United Nation's "Codex Alimentarius" Commission. The main purpose of this meeting was to establish global legislation intended to restrict access to nutritional supplements and other natural health therapies. This outrageous plan was met with an unprecedented outcry of protest. In the largest public health referendum ever carried out in history, over 100 million protest letters were sent by people from around the world to the members of the "Codex" Commission and to politicians. More than half of these protest letters were sent by concerned citizens of the United States who have recognized this Codex initiative as a direct threat to the freedom of access to dietary supplements and information about natural therapies allowed by DSHEA (Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994). This protest campaign was initiated by Matthias Rath, M.D., the world-renowned physician and scientist who led the scientific breakthrough in natural health that identified vitamin deficiencies as the primary cause of cardiovascular disease, cancer and others of today's most common diseases. It is Dr. Rath's medical breakthrough, which resulted in the development of safe and effective natural health products, that so critically threatens the trillion-dollar market of symptom-oriented and dangerous pharmaceutical drugs. Dr. Rath's initiatives also attracted more than 2500 attendees to a health symposium in Berlin on the eve of the "Codex" meeting. Speakers at that symposium included Professor Poleszynski, a dissenting "Codex" delegate and Dr. Reuss, a pharmaceutical industry "insider" reporting about the industry's deceptive strategies. Dr. Aleksandra Niedzwiecki, a world-renowned biochemist and director of Dr. Rath's research institute, reported about a major scientific advance proving the critical role of amino acids in the natural control of cancer. Breakthrough research such as this could not be used for the benefit of cancer patients around the world if the pharmaceutical industry's plan for the implementation the "Codex" regulations were successful. Censorship plans for natural health therapies by the pharmaceutical industry have been camouflaged by a barrage of unsubstantiated publicity about alleged side-effects of essential nutrients. Statistical data shows that the opposite is true: While there are no reported deaths from vitamins, the known side-effects of pharmaceutical drugs have become the fourth leading cause of death, surpassed only by heart attacks, strokes and cancer. Says Dr. Rath: "What is needed is consumer protection from the dangers of synthetic pharmaceutical drugs - not from vitamins and other nutrients that are essential for health and life." While the worldwide demand from over 100 million protest-emails has stopped the pharmaceutical industry's strategies at the level of "Codex Alimentarius", similar efforts continue at the level of the EU-Commission and the European parliament. Dr. Rath has affirmed his commitment to continue efforts to fight these and future attempts to undermine the world population's right to access to critical natural health therapies.
