OT: Fw: OTC Supplements may be BANNED in U.S. by June 2005

[Guest guest]

Subject: [MoMAMissionPossible] Details on ban on

supplements coming in June 2005!

Greetings Everyone! :-)

Please forward this to everyone you know, including other .

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.

Subject: Banning Sales of Food Supplements Worldwide

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

act now!!!

Please read the very important health message below and contact everyone

you can think of.

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 DMAE, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM,

beta-carotene, etc. are not 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?

Do a LYCOS search for " codex alimentarius " and read all you can

.. . . . This thing is REALLY, R E A L L Y BAD !

IMO it's another way for the government to control us. This is going to hurt a

lot of people.
