Guest guest Posted April 7, 2005 Report Share Posted April 7, 2005 Codex Alimentarius The Codex Alimentarius Commission was established under heavy influence of the pharmaceutical industry in 1963 following resolutions passed at the Eleventh Session of the Conference of the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations in 1961, and at the Sixteenth World Health Assembly in 1963. (More on the history of codex here) From its very beginning CAC's clear intention was to protect corporate interests in the global pharmaceutical and food markets. http://www4.dr-rathfoundation.org/PHARMACEUTICAL_BUSINESS/health_movement_agains\ t_codex/ Codex Alimentarius is creating dozens of international trade standards. One of the most controversial documents is entitled: “Draft Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements” http://ahha.org/CodexGuidelines.htm The Codex Draft Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements was finalized at the November 1-5, 2004 CCNFSDU session in Bonn, Germany - after over a decade of deliberations! What the World Trade Organization will do with the Guidelines was not addressed at the session. Final step in the process will be approval by the Codex Alimentarius Commission session in the summer of 2005. http://ahha.org/codex.htm VITAMINS ON THEIR WAY OUT IN EUROPE; USA IS NEXT http://www.doctoryourself.com/codex.html http://www.doctoryourself.com/ Disease, not war, is the single largest killer on Earth. Optimum nutrition strengthens bodies. Supplements are the answer, not the problem. Yet, in Europe, food supplements are being banned as you read this. In Britain, they are going to be gone this year (2005) unless a costly court battle can stop what is known as the " European Union Food Supplement Directive. " DEATH BY MEDICINE (December 2003) http://www.doctoryourself.com/deathmed.html Carolyn Dean MD ND, Martin Feldman MD, Debora Rasio MD, Dorothy Smith PhD, Gary Null PhD. (Reprinted with permission.) ABSTRACT A definitive review and close reading of medical peer-review journals, and government health statistics shows that American medicine frequently causes more harm than good. The number of people having in-hospital, adverse drug reactions (ADR) to prescribed medicine is 2.2 million.1 Dr. Richard Besser, of the CDC, in 1995, said the number of unnecessary antibiotics prescribed annually for viral infections was 20 million. Dr. Besser, in 2003, now refers to tens of millions of unnecessary antibiotics.2,2a The number of unnecessary medical and surgical procedures performed annually is 7.5 million.3 The number of people exposed to unnecessary hospitalization annually is 8.9 million.4 The total number of iatrogenic deaths shown in the following table is 783,936. It is evident that the American medical system is the leading cause of death and injury in the United States. The 2001 heart disease annual death rate is 699,697; the annual cancer death rate, 553,251.
