Fwd: Details on ban on supplements coming in june 2005!

[Guest guest]

Hi! Please forward this to everyone you know,

including other

groups. Also, call your local news stations. I

called mine, and

received a call back from channel 4 in Detroit.

They will be

investigating this story! Another idea is to

print this out and

post it on the bulletin boards at your local

health food stores such

as Whole Foods. Lastly, you should call or write

to your state

representatives, congressman, and the president

and vice president.

Sometimes it seems like things like this our out

of our hands, but

if everyone reading this truly takes action,

something can be done.

Let's try it this time and see if we truly can

prevent this from

happening.

 

READ BELOW:

 

 

Banning Sales of Food Supplements

Worldwide

 

If we don't act now, we have no right to complain

afterwards. Act

now!

 

Read this very important health message below and

contact everyone.

 

Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and

other supplements may

end in June of this year (2005). After that U.S.

supplements will be

defined and controlled by the World Trade

Organization (WTO) and the

World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX

ALIMENTARIUS

(Food Code) is setting the supplement standards

for all countries in

the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and

will override U.S.

laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to

this take-over when

the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are

punished by WTO trade

sanctions. CODEX drastically restricts vitamins,

minerals, herbs and

other food supplements. CODEX met secretly in

November, 2004 and

finalized " Step 8 (the final stage) " to begin

implementation in

June '05.

 

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.

 

(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,

vitamin B6 above 4 mg

-all are banned over-the-counter as drugs. No

essential amino acids

(arginine, lysine (used effectively for fever

blisters), carnitine,

L-Tryptophan (used effectively for eliminating

depression), GABA

(used effectively for eliminating anxiety), etc.,

Essential Fatty

Acids

(omegas 3, 6, 9, etc.), or other essential

supplements such as

DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc. are

allowed!

 

The CODEX rules are not based on real science.

They are made

by a few people meeting in secret (see web sites

below), not

necessarily scientists. In 1993 the FDA and drug

corporations tried

to put all supplements under restriction and

prescription. But over

4 million Americans told Congress and the

President to protect

their freedom of choice on health supplements.

The DSHEA Law

was passed in 1994, which does so. But this will

be over ruled

by CODEX and the World Trade Organization!

 

Virtually nothing about it has been in the media.

What the drug

corporations have failed to do through Congress

they have gotten

by sneak attack through CODEX with the help of a

silent media.

What can be done at this late hour?

 

(1) Spread the word as much as possible. Inform

yourselves :

http://www.ahha.org

http://www.iahf.com

http://www.alliance-natural-health.org.

 

(2) Oppose bills S.722 and H.R.3377. These

support the

CODEX restrictions with U.S. laws, changing the

DSHEA law.

 

(3) Support H. R.1146 which would restore the

sovereignty of

the U.S. Constitution over CODEX, etc.

 

 

(4) Express your wishes to the President,

Senators and

Representatives (They got us into this!) ASAP.

 

(5) Contact multi-level health marketing groups

that can get

their members to inform the government.

 

(6) Contact the British Alliance for Natural

Health (see web site

above).

It has succeeded in challenging the CODEX

directives in World Court

and will appear in court again later this month

or next. They need

help

financially, having carried the fight effectively

for everyone. CODEX

and

the FDA wish to " protect " us by controlling

supplements in the same

way they do prescription drugs. A study of the

latter by three

medical

scientists was reported in the Journal of the

American Medical

Association, April 15, 1998 -Vol. 279, No. 15, p.

1200: " Incidence of

Adverse Drug Reactions (ADR's) was found to be

extremely high. "

Covering 30 years (1966 to 1996) it was found

that in the U.S. an

average of 106,000 hospitalized patients per year

(290 per day!!)

DIE from ADR's and 2,200,000 need more

hospitalization for recovery!

These were FDA approved drugs, properly

administered by competent

professionals in hospitals--none were considered

malpractice. This

is the number four cause of death in the U.S.

When combined,

these account for 7% of all hospitalized

patients. This is equivalent

to a 9-11 attack every ten days. There are very

few fatalities from

supplements or the news would be on every front

page. There is no

need for more FDA control of supplements than is

already in place,

which is substantial. Instead of drastically

restricting supplements,

why doesn't the FDA better control, restrict the

extremely

dangerous pharmaceutical drugs and require

double-blind studies

of multiple Px interactions which are now killing

us at the rate of

a major airline crash per day?

force. " [Ayn Rand, The Nature of Government]

Hi,

 

I just wanted to comment on this because I live in Norway where this

is in effect.

 

When I first moved here I was amazed at how tiny the food stores were.

This is due mainly to the fact that all they sale is food with a teeny

tiny section for beauty and vitamins. When I went in to a pharmacy I

was amazed again at the huge selection on vitamin supplments avalible

(I can't spell.) In health food stores here there are even more

choices. It says that anything higher than the daily need would be

unavailable without a persprection, untrue, it is behind the counter

and only needs to be asked for. Herbals supplments are behind the

counter also because they are in bulk and measured out. It is not seen

here as loosing a freedom because things are better quialty here since

it went into affect. Also prices for these things actually went down

vitamins and herbal supplents here are less expensive than they are in

the States. I can buy a 4 month supply of vita B complex, no fillers,

no sugar, 100% of what is said is needed for $2. I also take Omega 3

with A, D, E and calcium a 2 month supply $5 and sea kelp a 2 month

supply $7. Now in a country where a pound of oragnes is $15 I think

these are pretty good prices esp when the govn't makes sure we are

getting the best quality vitamins.

..

I just wanted to give another view to this problem, sometimes things

are not as bad as they seem Then again the States may take it in a

different direction that Norway did, and I can't say how it is in

Germany. But no one here is suffering from lack of vitamin choices

over-the-counter. And behind the counter is just to ask.

 

Love and kisses,
