Young Living ignores the Threat to Supplement Distribution

[Guest guest]

IAHF Webmaster: Codex Emergency, Breaking News, Whats New, All Countries,

What to Do

IAHF List: If you are a network marketing vitamin distributor, or have any

friends who are, please forward this to them. The ignorant response of

Garner of Young Living Essential Oil is identical to numerous similar emails

I've received from the front offices of several network marketing companies and

you all need to be aware of the FLAWS in what they're saying.

If you are in YL, or any other network marketing vitamin company, you won't

get the TRUTH on this issue from the front office of your company. You are

being led like sheep to the cliff, but you CAN fight back IF you heed the

simple advice in this email about what to do.....

Dear Joline,

I have spoken with Young Living's Legal Counsel, who has reported that

we have, in fact, studied up on this issue and we are familiar with the

groups that were mentioned. Wade Winegar, our chief legal counsel, met

personally with ANH and their lawyers in London in his recent trip to

Europe. We appreciate 's concern, and truly value his views, and

still believe this is the appropriate response to our distributors.

Clearly, there are more detailed sites out there and we are not

attempting to be a source of information on Codex, FSD or any of these

issues. We do our lobbying in the most effective way possible and will

continue to do so. Again, the greatest influence an individual

distributor will have is to expand their business. The bigger the

business, the more likely it will be seen by lawmakers as part of our

economy and something with which they don't bother.

I hope that this is helpful information for you. If you have further

questions, please let me know. Have a great day!

I am sending this response to you out to thousands of people on the IAHF

email distribution list, many of whom are network marketing distributors from

various companies- all of whom are being misled in the same way. I'll also be

discussing this on the air on numerous radio shows I'm doing on this issue.

If your legal counsel did in FACT meet with ANH and their lawyers in London,

they came away with a very poor understanding of the situation facing Young

Living, and have fallen for the SPIN emanating from CRN, IADSA, NNFA and AHPA

on this issue.

These vitamin trade associations have turned their BACKS on consumers and

are pushing very hard for one set of supplement regulations for the PLANET, at

the EXPENSE of consumers. This information of mine is going to deeply anger a

large number of Young Living distributors when they take the time to examine

the truth of what I'm saying, and you and YLs legal counsel cannot afford to

ignore this information:

Please take the time to read this article by Suzanne , JD:

" WHO SAYS WHATEVER HAPPENS AT CODEX DOES NOT AFFECT US LAW- AND WHY DO THEY

SAY IT? " http://www.thelawloft.com/Freedom/050125_us_law.htm

I just returned from Washington DC where I was part of a conference that was

also attended by my very close friend Verkerk, PhD, Exec Dir of the

Alliance for Natural Health who I have been working with extensively for the

past several years.

Verkerk, myself, Tips (Legal Counsel to the National Health

Federation), Brenna Hill (Exec Dir of the American Association for Health

Freedom) and

several other health freedom activists have just formed an umbrella group of

health freedom organization to directly COUNTER IADSA, CRN, NNFA, and AHPA

(whose advice your attorneys have UNWISELY adopted.)

This new organization is the Coalition for Health Freedom. All of us within

it have been doing the heavy lifting on the Codex issue for many years, and

our understanding of the issue eclipses that of your legal counsel by a wide

margin and they should contact us to discuss this.

Young Living is NOT in fact lobbying in the most effective way possible, if

YL WERE doing so, you would be strongly urging your distributors to help KILL

the Central American Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA) and the Free Trade Area of

the Americas (FTAA)

The REASON you should help do this is because the FTAA threatens to destroy

the United States in the same way that the UK is being subsumed into the

European Union. All of our laws, including DSHEA, are being threatened by

globalization. Rob Verkerk of ANH concurs with this assessment, and so does

their

legal counsel. The FTAA will create an equivalent to the European Common Market

in our hemisphere, and the intention of those who are pushing this agenda is

to create the Western Atlantic Union, a hemispheric equivalent to the EU.

A FAST TRACK VOTE on CAFTA will occur either in May or June. Please educate

yourself on this issue by going to the following websites, both of which

contain form letters that can be sent with a single mouse click to your

Senators

and Congressmen:

http://www.stoptheftaa.org/cafta/index.html

http://www.citizen.org/trade/cafta/

Please tell THIS to your legal counsel: According to a March 22, 2005 White

Paper by attorney J. Prochnow, " Of particular relevance to this

discussion is Article 3 of the SPS Agreement, which reads " To harmonize sanitary

and phytosanitary measures on as wide a basis as possible, Members SHALL based

their food safety measures on international standards, guidelines and

recommendations. " According to Prochnow: " These provisions, with the use of the

word

" SHALL " effectively make the " voluntary " Codex guidelines MANDATORY for

member nations of the WTO, including the US. "

Please tell THIS to your legal counsel: The identical SPS language contained

in WTO is ALSO contained in NAFTA, CAFTA, and FTAA.

We have zero political leverage over the unelected bureaucrats that

" represent " us at Codex meetings, and we won't be able to kill ratification of

the

mindlessly restrictive Codex vitamin standard in July, but we CAN kill CAFTA

and FTAA in order to stop the broadening and deeping of the SCOPE and REACH of

the SPS Agreement, and frankly , the FUTURE SURVIVAL of the BUSINESS of

each and every YLEO distributor DEPENDS on this.

If YLEO fails to alert each and every one of its distributors to go to these

websites

http://www.stoptheftaa.org/cafta/index.html

http://www.citizen.org/trade/cafta/ to help KILL CAFTA and FTAA, my

recommendation is that they vote with their FEET by QUITTING YLEO.

The advice YLEO's legal counsel is giving to the YL distributors is

seriously flawed. A group of distributors should band together to file a

lawsuit

against YLEO for not properly defending their business interests. The same

should

happen amongst the ranks of every network marketing vitamin company in the

world that is making the collosal mistake of taking its cues on this issue

from CRN, IADSA, NNFA, AHPA, CHFA and other sold out vitamin trade

associations.

These trade associations are all being controlled at the top by pharma

interests and by the biggest companies who are actively pulling the wool over

the

eyes of the innovative companies because they're taking the tack that they're

" big enough to weather any storm " .

The words of Niemoller come to mind:

http://www.hoboes.com/html/FireBlade/Politics/niemoller.shtml

First they came for the Communists,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Communist.

Then they came for the Jews,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I wasn’t a Jew.

Then they came for the Catholics,

and I didn’t speak up,

because I was a Protestant.

Then they came for me,

and by that time there was no one

left to speak up for me.

by Rev. Niemoller, 1945

Network marketing vitamin companies will obviously say ANYTHING to sweep

accurate political information which threatens the supplement industry under

the

rug. They do this due to an extremely myopic mindset geared towards not

scaring off potential new distributors at all costs. This is mindless in the

extreme, and is totally unacceptable. YLEO is on the edge of a cliff. Does YLEO

want to survive? I ask this same question of all other network marketing

vitamin companies. CRN, IADSA, NNFA, and AHPA are NOT your friends. The newly

formed Coalition for Health Freedom ARE.

Your legal counsel met with the Alliance for Natural Health's legal counsel?

If so, they came away with a very poor understanding of what is going on.
