>> Hi Folks,
>>
>> A couple of months ago I wrote a note about the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (food
>> code) and about how your life could be severely affected if this law
>> passes.
>>
>> Now, I want to give you some updated information, especially on a recent
>> legal ruling in Europe.  First, though, if you are as angry and concerned
>> as
>> I am about this please read the following carefully and then make sure to
>> contact everyone you know to prevent this attack on our freedom of
>> choice.
>> I
>> encourage you to forward this important message to everyone on your
>> contact
>> list. As well, you should telephone, mail or email your elected
>> representatives!
>>
>> Write your government officials and tell them your opinion on this
>> matter -
>> NOW. http://www.congress.org/congressorg/dbq/officials/
>>
>> In Canada write your M.P. <http://canada.gc.ca/directories/direct_e.html>
>>
>>
>> Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral, herb and other supplements
>> may
>> end before the end of this year (2005).  The large Drug Companies would
>> prefer that you were oblivious to this fact and kept like a mushroom. (In
>> the dark and fed Sh_t)
>>
>> If these laws come into effect all supplements and Vitamins will need a
>> prescription. They will also be produced and supplied only by the Drug
>> Companies. This means that a low quality bottle of Vitamin E (90 caps)
>> may
>> soon cost you a doctors visit and well over eight hundred dollars. The
>> pharmaceutical companies even include baking soda and table salt on their
>> list of, soon to be called, "drugs" that they wish to sell and control.
>>
>> The following is a compilation of information I have received from a
>> large
>> number of sources:
>>
>>
>> After July, North American supplements will be defined and controlled by
>> the
>> World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO).
>>
>> It is called the CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (food code) and it is setting the
>> supplement standards for all countries in the WTO. CODEX met secretly in
>> November, 2004 and finalized 'Step 8 (the final stage)'to begin
>> implementation in July, 2005, severely restricting the use and
>> availability
>> of numerous vitamins, minerals and other supplements.
>>
>> In the US, the President and Congress agreed to the takeover when the WTO
>> treaty was signed, therefore these supplement standards WILL BE ENFORCED
>> BY
>> THE WTO AND WILL OVERRIDE US LAWS. CODEX violations are/will be punished
>> by
>> WTO trade sanctions.
>>
>> CODEX Includes:
>>
>> No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use.  (Obviously
>> they know nothing of Vitamin C preventing and curing scurvy, Vitamin D
>> preventing and curing rickets and osteoporosis, or vitamin B curing and
>> preventing anemia. It also ignores the mountain of evidence showing our
>> diets are chronically deficient in essential nutrients because of
>> factory-style farming practices).
>>
>> Any potency higher than RDA (recommended daily allowance, aka 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. CODEX regulations become binding
>> internationally. 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 above are now allowed by prescription only. They are now
>> 'drugs'.
>>
>> Vitamin C above 200mg is banned for over-the-counter and sold as a
>> prescription drug only.
>>
>> Niacin above 32 mg is banned for over-the-counter and sold as a
>> prescription
>> drug only.
>>
>> Vitamin B6 above 4 mg is banned for over-the-counter and sold as a
>> prescription drug only.
>>
>> Same for Amino Acids like arginine, lysine, carnitine, etc.
>>
>> Same for the Omega Essential Fatty Acids and many more supplements
>> including
>> DMEA, DHEA,CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc.
>>
>> The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They were made by a few
>> people meeting in secret; not necessarily scientists.
>>
>> In 1993 the FDA and drug companies 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 overruled by
>> CODEX and the WTO.
>>
>> 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. I'm sure most Crack dealers are
>> more
>> honest.
>>
>>
>> Canadian Author Helke Ferrie, has a clear, concise explanation of the
>> dangers of "Codex."  Read this, and get worried:
>>
>> LIFE UNDER CODEX
>>
>> In the mid-1990s my mother, then in her 80s, had a stroke. She lived in
>> Germany. When she left hospital, I was ready with a nutritional plan that
>> included high-dose vitamins: C, E, and B - especially Inositol, as well
>> as
>> Co-enzyme Q 10. I went to the pharmacy, whose owner was a family friend
>> for
>> some 25 years, and handed him my list.
>> He handed me a small packet with a price sticker of DM 200 (then about
>> $200)
>> containing vitamin E capsules manufactured by one of Germany's largest
>> pharmaceutical companies. The source was synthetic, not the "mixed"
>> version
>> from living plant sources I wanted which contains the whole E spectrum.
>> The
>> package contained a total of 10,000 international units of E, the
>> equivalent
>> of a mere 25 capsules of 400 IU each that we are used to buying (I take
>> that
>> many in 3 days). Our bottles contain 90 capsules and cost about $20. If
>> Codex rules in Canada, we will likely pay $800 for a bottle of 90
>> capsules
>> of low-quality vitamin E - if Health Canada lets us buy that many at
>> once,
>> and if you can find a doctor willing to prescribe it.
>> He then handed me a tube-shaped metal container with vitamin C
>> effervescent
>> tablets. Each tablet, when dissolved in water, would release 10 mg of
>> vitamin C in a refined sugar solution. Thus, this ridiculously low
>> amount,
>> was to be taken in a toxic medium that would neutralize the vitamin
>> without
>> it doing anything at all. The cost: about $10 for 12 tablets.
>> Then he asked me, "What's Co-enzyme Q 10? Are you allowed to buy all this
>> in
>> Canada in such dangerous dosages?" When I told him what I take daily, his
>> eyes popped. Then I asked, "Why can't I buy these supplements here?" He
>> replied, "Well, Germany is a Codex country." Oddly, Germany has several
>> government-run hospitals where environmental illness is treated with
>> nutrients only, intravenous vitamin C etc. Life is full of paradoxes and
>> few
>> more follow below.
>>
>> CODEX AND THE EU
>>
>> Dr. Carolyn Dean, a medical doctor and naturopath well known to Toronto
>> readers, is currently the president of "Friends of Freedom International"
>> in
>> which capacity she attended the Codex meeting in Bonn last November. She
>> describes Codex as "the ultimate Big Brother marching backwards into the
>> future."
>> Effective 1 August, all vitamin and mineral supplements on the so-called
>> "positive list", including everything from Beta Carotene to Zinc, will
>> only
>> be available in the 25 EU countries if they comply with specific rules
>> set
>> out in the 10 June 2002, EU Directive Relating to Food Supplements. All
>> products must show maximum safe levels "as established by science."
>> Those nutrients found in the mythic "balanced diet" are to be subtracted
>> from the final values, and Article 6 (2) decrees that labels shall "not
>> attribute to food supplements the property of preventing, treating or
>> curing
>> a human disease, or refer to such properties."
>> So, the Directive's "science" knows nothing of Vitamin C preventing and
>> curing scurvy, Vitamin D preventing and curing rickets and osteoporosis,
>> or
>> vitamin B curing and preventing anemia. It also ignores the mountain of
>> evidence showing our diets are chronically deficient in essential
>> nutrients
>> because of factory-style farming practices.
>> To "ensure a high level of protection for consumers and facilitate their
>> choice", they even included baking soda and table salt. We must assume
>> they
>> will be unavailable as of 1 August anywhere in Europe - with interesting
>> consequences for the tourist industry in the baked goods paradises
>> Austria,
>> Switzerland and France.
>> Now, there is also a "negative list" covering essential fatty acids,
>> phytonutrients, all the enzymes and more. Those cannot be marketed at
>> all,
>> until the EU scientific committee in charge has made a final decision.
>> So,
>> forget omega-3 and omega-6 fats, cod liver oil, and much more.
>> The effect of this directive will be that thousands of products and
>> businesses will be gone this year. In the UK alone some 21 million people
>> will suddenly have no access to any supplement vitamins, minerals,
>> enzymes,
>> fatty acids and more. Since the onus is on businesses to produce the
>> scientific information on safety, they can't produce or sell anything -
>> not
>> even to physicians who have the power to prescribe any toxic drug as well
>> as
>> any essential nutrient. Obviously, there will be ludicrous enforcement
>> issues: Picture basement-concocted vitamins sold in dark alleys alongside
>> crack and Ecstasy.
>>
>>
>> Here is a fact. Contrary to pharmaceutical drugs, there are few
>> fatalities
>> from supplements. Can you just imagine the news coverage if vitamins and
>> supplements created the amount of death that drugs do?
>>
>> There is no need for more control of supplements than is already in
>> place,
>> which is substantial. Instead of drastically restricting supplements, why
>> don't they better control and restrict the extremely dangerous
>> pharmaceutical drugs which are now killing us at the rate of a major
>> airline
>> crash per day?
>>
>> Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the United Nations and the
>> World
>> Health Organization working in conjunction with the multinational
>> pharmaceutical cartel and international banks.  Its initial efforts in
>> the
>> US with the FDA were defeated, so it found another ally in the FTC. Now
>> Codex, with the FTC and the pharmaceutical cartel behind it, it threatens
>> to
>> become a trade issue,
>>
>> Codex began simply enough when the U.N. authorized the World Health
>> Organization and the Food and Agriculture Organization to develop a
>> universal food code.  Their purpose was to 'harmonize' regulations for
>> dietary supplements worldwide and set international safety standards for
>> the
>> purposes of increased trade. Standardize labeling and regulatory
>> requirements between countries to facilitate increased international
>> trade.
>>
>> Pharmaceutical interests stepped in and began exerting their influence.
>> Instead of focusing on food safety, Codex is using its power to promote
>> worldwide restrictions on vitamins and food supplements, severely
>> limiting
>> their availability and dosages.
>>
>> Real Goals of Codex
>>
>> This is to bring about international 'harmonization.' While global
>> harmony
>> sounds benign, is that the real purpose of this plan? While the stated
>> goal
>> of Codex is to establish unilateral regulations for dietary supplements
>> in
>> every country, the actual goal is to outlaw health products and
>> information
>> on vitamins and dietary supplements, except those under their direct
>> control. These regulations would supersede domestic laws without the
>> people's voice or vote in the matter.
>>
>>
>> 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
>> 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 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.
>>
>>
>> There is some hope.
>>
>>
>> A couple of days ago there was tremendous news for the millions of people
>> in
>> Europe who choose to use food supplements. Following a landmark challenge
>> in
>> the European Courts of Justice (ECJ) brought by the Alliance for Natural
>> Health and Nutri-Link Ltd to the contentious Food Supplements Directive,
>> which effectively proposed to ban 75% of vitamin and mineral forms,
>> Advocate
>> General Geelhoed, the senior adviser to the ECJ, gave his Opinion in
>> favour
>> of the Alliance's case.
>>
>> What does this mean? That the chances of consumers being able to continue
>> using the natural food supplements they believe are beneficial to their
>> health are now greatly increased. There has been uproar about the
>> proposed
>> EU ban, and maybe, against the odds, the consumer is going to come out on
>> top in what is a remarkable modern day case of David and Goliath.
>>
>> In a statement released in Luxembourg today at 0830 GMT, the Advocate
>> General concluded that:
>>
>> The Food Supplements Directive infringes the principle of proportionality
>> because basic principles of Community law, such as the requirements of
>> legal
>> protection, of legal certainty and of sound administration have not
>> properly
>> been taken into account.
>>
>> It is therefore invalid under EU law.
>> It should be stressed that the Advocate General's pronouncement is not a
>> ruling. That will come from the ECJ judges, later - probably around June.
>> But typically, in the vast majority of cases, the Court Judgment follows
>> the
>> recommendations of the Advocate General.
>>
>> If the Advocate General's recommendations are adopted, in effect, the ban
>> on
>> vitamin and mineral forms not included on the EU's 'Positive list,' due
>> to
>> come into effect on 1 August 2005, will be declared illegal.  In essence,
>> the positive list of allowable nutrient forms will be deemed to be too
>> narrow, too restrictive, and based on flawed science.
>>
>> This would avoid the totally irrational situations that the Food
>> Supplements
>> Directive would otherwise create. For example, synthetically produced
>> selenium would have been allowed on the positive list, while the natural
>> source found in Brazil nuts would not; synthetic forms of Vitamin E
>> (often
>> used in 'adverse' vitamin studies reported in the media) would be
>> allowed,
>> but the natural, most beneficial food forms would not.
>>
>>
>>
>> I should note that this ruling in no way effect the upcoming
>> implementation
>> of Codex laws in North America. The news is encouraging but the fight is
>> far
>> from over and we need to do everything we can to persuade our politicians
>> to
>> listen to us and not heed the words of the scummy drug corporations and
>> blindly follow their grandiose plans for world domination.
>>
>> So, what can be done at this late hour?
>>
>> Don't be a mushroom! Get out of the dark. Spread the word as much as
>> possible and inform yourselves fully.
