Dear Friends,

Aloha! This bill is very important to act upon! It restricts all

naturals supplements, outlaws organic farming....This would effect our

ability to heal ourselves naturally and eat/grow organic foods. PLEASE

take a few minutes to go to the website (link below) of your State

Representatives, copy a letter from below and email/fax it to them. I

did all three: email, fax. and phone. Please send this to your

friends. The bill is voted on April 22. Thank you so much for taking

the time, it will make a difference. Many Blessings to you.

Aloha Ke Akua - Love and Blessings,

Maria Gardner

The proposed so-called " CODEX ALIMENTARIUS " (Latin for " Food Rules " )

legislation now before Congress, if passed into law, will outlaw all

organic, free-range, and bio-dynamic farming and make illegal the

non-medical prescription, availability, and sale of meaningful dosages

of all vitamins, minerals, herbs, and nutritional supplements, and

bring about the extinction of most health-food stores and privately

owned nutrient manufacturers in America immediately following passage

of such law. The others [would] last a little longer, but [would]

eventually go down.

If you have not yet attained certainty that the above statement is true

and would like to confirm it for yourself, please read the communique

below from Dr. Rima Laibow, MD, one of the few people in the world who

has read all 15,000 pages of the proposed legislation. FYI: The fatter

the proposed legislative package, the more sinister the measures buried

within, and the greater the danger to any party under its jurisdiction

(i.e. YOU).

If you already understand the extreme importance of thwarting the

proposed CODEX ALIMENTARIUS legislation you can get right into action

by [sending the 3 sample letters included below] to both of your

Senators and your Representative in Washington, DC, i.e. three (3)

letters each, to three (3) parties ... (content of letters can be

varied; these are suggested samples).

The target is ONE MILLION FAXES to Congress between March 23, 2005, and

April 22, 2005. Please step up and do your part to ensure that the ONE

MILLION FAXES arrive and that our DC representatives get the message

that we do not want anything to do with CODEX ALIMENTARIUS.

FYI: FAX is better than email (more substance) and faster than snail

mail. Do your best to fax, but in the event you cannot, please get the

message to DC the best way you can before April 22, 2005.

*************************************************

This is a very serious situation, but can be overcome with room to

spare if you and those you know will step up to the plate and make it

happen. Please take time out of your day to forward this email, along

with the 3 sample letters at the bottom, to everyone you know. Then

customize each of the sample letters at the bottom for both of your

Senators and your Representative, print them out, sign them, and fax

them to their respective destinations. [best to fax no more than one

message a day to each recipient.]

Everyone else is counting on you to come through (whether they know

about this proposed legislation or not).

ATTENTION:

RE CODEX ALIMENTARIUS

Letter from Rima Laibow, MD

http://www.nmaseminars.com/

March 23, 2005

Dear friends and colleagues,

Each of us is deluged daily with so much information that we are forced

to choose quickly between what deserves our attention and what to throw

in the circular file. I implore you to read the following. Your

professional and personal lives as you know them depend on it.

No doubt you have received as many rambling, lengthy emails about Codex

Alimentarius as I have. I have deleted more of them than I can count

that were either too alarming or too complacent in nature and lacking

in credibility. Now, let me ask you if you know anyone who has actually

read all 15,000+ pages of the working documents of the Codex

Alimentarius Commission? Well, I have. As such, allow me to attempt to

put an end to any confusion you may have about Codex Alimentarius by

sharing what I have learned and what I believe to be a reasonable and

appropriate level of concern.

What's the bottom line for a healthcare professional practicing

alternative, nutritional, natural, or environmental healthcare? The

World Trade Organization (WTO) is poised to take away your right to

practice the healing arts guided by natural laws, scientific

principles, and your clinical expertise and judgment. Through the

Orwellian process of harmonization (forced alignment) with WTO

standards that regulate trade, distribution, and process ing of food,

herbs, and nutrients, your professional rights and options [would] be

eliminated within the next few years. The proposed standards are

extremely detrimental to the environment, your medical practice, and

the food supply.

Okay. I saw that one eyebrow go up and heard that deep sigh. Let me

tell you that alarmism is not and never has been in my nature. I am a

medical doctor, have a wide variety of interests, am passionate about

healthcare freedom, and pride myself in my rational thinking and logic

skills. I floss my teeth regularly and eat a nutrient-dense whole foods

diet and, yes, occasionally sample the more decadent side of the

culinary arts. Neither my family nor I had a bomb shelter during the

Cold War era and I did not withdraw from society or stock up on

gasoline, food, or batteries in anticipation of Y2K. Read on.

The ability of physicians to legally practice environmental or natural

medicine, their access to the substances they rely on to do so, and the

rights of patients to chose these treatments are about to be

criminalized in the United States by a draconian set of international

regulations which have already become law in Australia, Canada and the

European Union (EU). These standards, collectively known as CODEX

ALIMENTARIUS, (from the Latin for " Food Rules " ) have been promulgated

by the Codex Alimentarius Commission [established for this purpose in

1963 by the United Nations (UN)] in every area having to do with the

production, processing, packaging and use of food, herbs and food

components.

Think that can't happen here? Think again. It can and it will, unless

we take appropriate action and activate each member of our personal and

professional networks. Skillful disinformation would have you believe

that CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (hereafter referred to as CODEX) is a hoax and

that, at the same time, it is beneficial for you and your patients.

(The inherent illogic of this position is obvious to the discerning

reader.)

The Codex Alimentarius Commission was empowered to work with other

UN-linked organizations in order to develop and promulgate uniform

world-wide standards for food, nutrition and agriculture. The WTO,

successor to the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT), is

empowered to enforce global compliance with all CODEX standards via

trade sanctions across the entire economic spectrum. Member nations

(including the United States) agreed, upon signing the WTO treaty, to

always allow the standards and regulations of the WTO to supersede and

take complete precedence over national standards, laws, and

regulations.

Once accepted CODEX takes on the force of law and cannot be repealed or

changed by the WTO member nations.

Presenting itself as a consumer protection strategy, CODEX policies

masquerade as both benign and beneficial while, in reality, they are

neither. Given the medically and environmentally horrific stipulations

and requirements of (See, for example, the urban legend site,

http://www.snopes.com

article " Vitamin See " which promulgates FACTUALLY INACCURATE

DISINFORMATION about the real nature and impact of CODEX and the FDA's

Response to Questions page,

http://www.cfsan.fda.gov/~dms/dscodex.html

the implementation of these " standards " will result in incalculable

harm to the healing arts and the patients who depend on them.

Once CODEX is adopted by a nation, there is a " phase-in period " during

which the administrative structure is established according to a strict

timetable. Bear in mind that in the United States, nutrients are

currently classified as foods [under the 1994 Dietary Supplements

Health and Education Act (DSHEA)] and that any substance not explicitly

forbidden is permitted as a nutrient in the United States. Under CODEX,

any substance not explicitly permitted by CODEX policy is banned as a

nutrient.

The CODEX preamble specifies that supplements and nutrients 'may not be

used to prevent, treat or cure any disorder.' Yet, more than 80 percent

of Americans use supplements for exactly these purposes. Nutritional

and environmental physicians, naturopaths, nutritionists, chiropractors

and other licensed health professionals employ hundreds of natural

minerals, supplements, and herbs precisely because they are effective

in preventing, treating and curing many diseases.

These natural health options will become illegal if the United States

is " harmonized " with the WTO this spring while compliance with CODEX is

still " voluntary " or when t otal compliance becomes mandatory, as it

will be the case after the next CODEX Commission meeting in Rome.

Health food stores [would] no longer be able to market and distribute

nutritional supplements. Most health food stores and privately owned

nutrient manufacturers [would], I believe, no longer be in business

after CODEX takes effect.

I know. This is all difficult to believe upon first hearing it. You may

have heard that is easy to get people to believe a lie, particularly an

outrageous lie. In my experience, the opposite is also true: It is

difficult to get people to believe the outrageous truth. Keep on

reading, because this is a truth you definitely need to understand.

Once CODEX is implemented (either through 'harmonization' or mandatory

compliance), we [would] be forced to follow the European CODEX model in

which it [would] be illegal to manufacture, buy, sell, recommend, or

use any b ut 28 ultra-low dose nutrients whether you are a licensed

health professional or not. " Only synthetic versions of that " short

list [would] be allowed and natural supplements, herbs, enzymes and

other non-pharmaceutical treatments [would] be banned. The only legal

health option left [would] be the pharmaceutical one.

CODEX regulations have been " harmonized " (i.e. approved) in the EU,

Canada and Australia. The United States is next unless we act

decisively and act now. Though CODEX regulations are passed quietly and

without effective public notice in infrequent meetings abroad that are

invisible to most Americans, they have grave and devastating impact on

American's health freedom.

Here in the United States, the 'harmonization' laws which [would] enact

CODEX policy have been defeated by Congress several times, each time by

a smaller margin. Given the composition of the current Congress, it is

virtually certain that it will be passed unless we take swift and

immediate steps to assure that does not happen.

This legislative stealth attack on health freedoms will probably play

out in May or early June of 2005 unless we take effective steps to help

assure that health freedom becomes the " Mother of all third rails " for

every politician in the country.

CODEX is the result of a complex relationship between the UN (which

established the Codex Alimentarius Commission in 1962); the WTO (which

is authorized to enforce CODEX through trade sanctions); the World

Health Organization (WHO), which s to the CODEX regulations

(despite the fact that they directly and explicitly conflict with their

own findings and policies such as the FAO/WHO official publication,

" Diet, Nutrition and the Prevention of Chronic Diseases " ); the Food and

Agriculture Organization (FAO), the United States Food and Drug

Administration (FDA); and the United States Department of Agriculture

(USDA) working in concert with industry representatives of (and others

unofficially representing the interests of) the pesticide, chemical,

pharmaceutical, and dairy industries.

Consumers, health scientists, physicians and other practicing natural

medicine and other health-focused voices have been totally absent from

official CODEX deliberations. A few observers have been present at

official deliberations but they have not been permitted to speak in the

sessions. Full ratification is expected in Rome during the July 4-9,

2005 meeting of the CODEX ALIMETNARIUS Committee.

Of course, the real work of such a complex regulatory structure takes

place outside of those official sessions. And none of the health

advocates have had access to those meetings, agreements and sessions.

Yet CODEX will take away our health freedoms if we allow ourselves to

be " harmonized " or mandate d to comply with CODEX.

Everyone knows if they have a jar of pickles and they remove the pickle

label and put a mayonnaise label on it, that they're going to find

pickles when they open the jar. The packaging of CODEX policy under the

label of protection of fair trade, public health, and safety does not

make it so. Underneath CODEX's altruistic labeling is a poisoned apple

of extremely adverse global policy that is, in fact, driven by economic

concerns of large corporate interests.

Once implemented, CODEX ALIMENTARIUS [would do] the following:

1. VITAMINS, MINERAL, NUTRIENTS AND PHYSIOLOGICALLY ACTIVE SUBSTANCES

(a) The CODEX preamble forbids the use of nutrients to " prevent, treat

or cure any condition or disease " .

(b) CODEX defines minimum allowable dosages of permitted nutrients as

15 percent of the amounts naturally occurring in foods, while maximum

allowable doses of any permitted nutrie nts may not exceed the dose of

that nutrient found in food. Supplement values subtract the amount

assumed to be in the daily diet from the maximum allowable dose and the

result is the permitted upper limit of a nutrient. This system is based

neither in science nor clinical requirements.

permitted [would] be classified as illegal substances (in the same

class as heroin)

(i) Theoretical exceptions exist for natural substances which are

submitted and accepted for testing. A substance successfully tested in

this way may then be prescribed at the tested dosage only. The

permission to use a nutrient in this way, by prescription only,

however, expires in 2009.

(ii) The cost of this procedure is staggering, most applications for

such testing have been turned down and, since natural molecules cannot

be patented, potential manufacturers are unable to recoup the costs of

testing through later sales.

(iii) The period for submission of applications for this process ends

on July 12, 2005 and cannot be extended

(d) The European Union (EU), whose European Supplements Directive is

the model administrative agency for CODEX implementation, permits a

total of 28 ultra-low dose nutrients. All other nutrients (e.g. alpha

lipoic acid, 1-gram doses of vitamin C, Co-Q 10, fish oil, and

curcumin) are banned substances and may not be manufactured,

distributed, recommended, sold, supplied or be in the possession of

anyone, including licensed health professionals. Vitamin C, for

example, at any dosage higher than 200 mg per day [would] be illegal. A

gram of Vitamin C [would] be an illegal substance! The dose of Co-Q 10

which has been shown to resolve breast cancer in some patients (400 mg

p er day) [would] be illegal because Co-Q 10 [would] be totally

forbidden at any dose (following the European Supplements Directive

model).

(e) The allowable maximum upper limits for permitted nutrients have

been set so low that they have little or no clinical impact in keeping

us healthy and none at all in returning us to a state of health if we

are ill. Those which are available would be exorbitantly priced, as

current experience in Norway and Germany reveals, where profit margins

of synthetic, permitted nutrients are being harmonized to match drug

profit margins.

(i) On August 1, 2005, 75 percent of the natural substances currently

available in health food stores and pharmacies in Europe [would] become

illegal as a direct result of CODEX.

(ii) Only synthetic forms of permitted nutrients [would] be available.

All natural versions [would] be illegal substances. Only syntheti c

nutrients (at ultra-low dosages) manufactured by pharmaceutical

companies [would] meet the molecular standards for use in humans or

animals.

2. HERBS AND HERBAL TREATMENTS

(a) Herbs, originally part of the CODEX deliberations, were summarily

removed and placed under a closed committee of the WHO where they are

held to be untested drugs and therefore illegal.

(b) The European Supplements Directive, the model agency for CODEX

administration, has produced a very short list of herbs which may be

used and the conditions for which they may be used (another short and

very trivial list).

listed are strictly forbidden.

(d) There is the possibility that a few formulas of well known Chinese

herbal medicines may be exempt (but that remains to be seen)

3. TRADITIONAL HEALING ARTS

(a) CODEX stipulates which conditions may be treated using herbs and

allows only minor, self-limited conditions. Treating any other

conditions with herbal remedies [would] constitute a crime.

(b) Some complex oriental herbal formulas may be permitted but most

[would] be lost.

use herbs and natural substances [would] be forbidden world-wide. Since

most people do not have access to pharmaceutical medicine, this

effectively removes the legal possibility of people legally accessing

any form of tribal or traditional medicine.

(d.) Herbal, shamanic, energy based (e.g. Reiki and acupuncture)

medicine are forbidden forms of treatment.

4) GENETICALLY MODIFIED ORGANISMS (GMOs)

(a) CODEX makes the un-labeled use of GMOs legal in all foods under all

circumstances, even though there is significant opposition to the

widespread use of GMOs at this time. Farmers in Iraq, for example, must

purchase their seeds from Monsanto and are forbidden from retaining

seed crops under the new Iraqi constitution. Similar laws exist in

other less exotic places.

(b) Many GMOs have been genetically engineered so that seeds WILL NOT

GERMINATE without the use of specific pesticides (such as " Roundup " by

Monsanto). In fact, mounting scientific evidence makes it clear that

the incidence of birth defects, chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue

syndrome, asthma, severe allergies, and a host of other conditions have

a causative or contributory relationship with increasing levels of

pesticide exposure that these crops [would] require.

either the planet or its people by objective, non-industry scientists.

Genetic drift through the spread of GMO genetic material is recognized

as a major threat to the biological integrity of the entire plan et.

5. TOXIC RESIDUES

(a) CODEX sets permissible upper limits for pesticide residues, toxic

chemicals, hormones in food and other environmental contaminants that

are many times higher than levels advocated by chemical and pesticide

industry lobbying groups.

(b) The current acceptable levels of toxins are already responsible for

most of the incidence of cancers, heart disease, autism, chronic

degenerative conditions, and organ failures that associated with

mortality and morbidity globally. Increasing the permissible levels of

toxins can only accelerate personal and global suffering.

6. ANTIBIOTICS, GROWTH STIMULANTS AND OTHER HORMONES IN FOOD ANIMALS

(a) CODEX mandates that all animal feed must be treated with

antibiotics, hormones and growth stimulants world wide.

(b) Organic, free-range, and biodynamic farming [would] become illegal.

7. IRRADIATION OF FOOD

(a.) CODEX mandates irradiation of food under circumstances now hotly

contested by food safety advocates. Allegedly designed to 'protect us

from food borne illness', the irradiation of food is by no means agreed

to be a safe procedure (by non-industry scientists) since there is

considerable scientific evidence that protein structures are modified

in unhealthy ways by introducing ionizing radiation into food before it

is consumed.

(b) The irradiation of food produces huge free radical populations. The

only protection against their pervasive damage is high doses of

anti-oxidants (which [would] be illegal under CODEX).

At this point it [would] likely come as no surprise to you that there

has been no effective representation from health advocates, nutritional

supplement manufacturers, natural healthcare professionals, or other

non-pharmaceutically oriented group at the Codex Alimentarius

Commission meeting. The Co dex Alimentarius Commission meets every two

years, always offshore (Rome, Bonn, Paris, etc.) and never in

Smallville, USA, a fact that helps perpetuate its opacity to the United

States citizenry. The United States' representatives to the Codex

Alimentarius Commission have well-documented, very unwholesome

conflicts of interest with the very industries that stand to profit and

benefit from the wholesale implementation of the CODEX standards.

CODEX sets international standards for everything from parmesan cheese

to sweet cassava, canned sardines to chicken meat, Echinacea to rice.

The standards which comprise CODEX are virtually complete: final

ratification of the entire package is expected at the Codex

Alimentarius Committee meeting in Rome from July 4-9, 2005.

Before ratification, " harmonization " is " voluntary " but can be enforced

by WTO trade sanctions. After ratification, compliance with CODEX is

mandatory and enforcement by the WTO is a powerful threat to make sure

that it is complied with properly.

It is imperative that concerned health professionals and their

patients, friends, relatives, suppliers, etc., become fully activated

to stop CODEX from being enacted in the United States.

Now that we know more about the boat in which we are adrift, let me

hand you a paddle. This threat to our profession and to our ability to

choose the type of healthcare for our selves demands one of the most

powerful tools available to us: grass roots political action. We can

use the Democratic Process to our advantage by:

1. Getting activated. If you do nothing now, when CODEX is ratified you

[would] have nothing left of your environmental or nutritional medicine

practice. It is imperative that you alert your colleagues, friends,

patients, relatives, suppliers and everyone else you know to this

danger so they can join you in taking effective action.

2. FAX, do not use regular mail or email, your Congressional Delegation

re: your strong outrage at the limitation of our health freedoms

through CODEX and a group of domestic efforts to reclassify nutrients

as drugs and eliminate them as foods.

3 Visit www.healthfreedomUSA.org to find your Congressional

Delegation's FAX number and three sample letters to Congress. Send each

targeted Congressman all three letters signed by you. We need to have a

minimum of one million faxes to Congress in the next 4 weeks.

3. Provide sample letters and a list of local Congressional District

members' FAX numbers for patients in your office. This information is

available on the Natural Solutions Foundation website,

http://www.healthfreedomUSA.org . Offer to FAX letters for t hose

patients who do not have fax machines available to them.

4. Become a supporter of the Natural Solutions Foundation, a not for

profit organization (of which I am the Medical Director) to preserve,

protect and defend health freedom in the United States.

In addition to our other activities, the Natural Solutions Foundation

has commissioned a major documentary to tell the story of CODEX to the

American public. Become a supporter of this effort. See

http://www.healthfreedomUSA.org

for details.

We would all like to put our heads in the sand and try to believe that

CODEX would, could and should not happen here. But it can and, unless

we take action now, CODEX will become the law of our land.

5. For a discussion of the domestic legislative assault on health

freedoms,

go to

http://www.healthfreedomUSA.org

Whether your motivation is global or local, professional or personal, I

ask that you take action now. FAX letters supporting health freedom, a

safe food supply and a clean world: FAX letters to Congress and alert

your entire network to do that same.

Yours in Health and Freedom,

PROTECT MY HEALTH FREEDOM!

VOTE AGAINST the Dietary Supplement Safety Act and all similar

legislation

Dear [senator/Representative] [surname]:

As your constituent I want to inform you of my very strong opposition

to any version of the CODEX ALIMENTARUS regulations (or any other

legislation which restricts my health choices and freedoms) becoming

law or governing regulation in our country. The draconian regulations

of CODEX will do irreparable harm to the health and well being of the

entire population of this country since it will make it illegal for

anyone, including licensed physicians, to offer, choose, dispense, or

use natural health promotion and treatment agents like Vitamin C, Co-Q

10, zinc, and calcium at clinically effective dosages. It will also

make the use of ANY nutrient (other than 28 permitted low-dose,

natural substances) illegal at clinically meaningful doses. This set of

regulations has already become law in Australia, Canada and the EU.

I urge you to vote against measures which reclassify food supplements

as drugs and increase adverse-results scrutiny in a biased manner while

not applying the same standard to known toxic drugs (the fourth leading

cause of death in the US when used according to labeling instructions)

such as the soon-to-be reintroduced sequel to S722, " Dietary Supplement

Safety Act. " Please be assured that I will use every means available to

me to preserve and protect my freedom to choose natural treatments and

substances when I feel that is in my best interest and look to you, as

my elected representative, to protect me from this impending loss of

health freedom.

I appeal to you to act as a staunch defender of my interests, and that

of other Americans, not those of the special interests which understand

that a healthy populace spends less on medication than one with no

access to effective natural preventive and treatment strategies. I look

to you to prevent our country from being " harmonized " with the

destructive and restrictive regulations of CODEX ALIMENTARUS to force

ill health on all Americans. Please be assured that I watch carefully

Dear [senator/Representative] [surname]:

I urge you to support HR 1146, which will restore American sovereignty

in matters of health and other areas. As your constituent I wanted to

make you aware of my very strong opposition to any version of the CODEX

ALIMENTARUS regulations (or any other legislation which restricts my

health choices and freedoms) becoming law or governing regulation in

our country. Based on regulations of the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS Commission

of the UN, our health freedoms are in danger of being ripped away, as

they have been in Australia, the EU and Canada. The draconian

regulations of CODEX, based entirely on junk science, will do

irreparable harm to the health and well being of the entire p opulation

of this country since it will become illegal for anyone, including

licensed physicians, to offer, choose, dispense, or use natural health

I urge you to support HR 1146 in order to restore sovereignty to this

country. FDA Policy on Standards* states " where a relevant

international standard exists, or completion is imminent, it will

generally be used in preference to a domestic standard.... " Under that

standard, the highly restrictive CODEX and European Supplements

Directive regulations will be used to control access to essential amino

acids, fish oil, and therapeutic doses of vitamins and minerals and

great harm will come to the American people as confirmed in vast

amounts of research. Please be assured that I will use every means
