Fw: OT:CODEX-Important Facts .....revisited

[Guest guest]

Hi!

I`m re-posting this message* from a few months ago as it really does now seem to be "a few seconds to midnight" on this very serious issue & I have a sense that perhaps there just might be a stirring of interest in the topic & so maybe some might like to check out the very clear material available at the sites listed.

(*-I have extended it a little)

If you yourself are in the position of wondering what all the fuss is about, please consider taking a few minutes to visit at least one of the websites listed below so that any decisions you are making on the subject are based on the actual facts of the situation.

Thank you very much!

OT:CODEX-Important Facts .....

Hi everyone,

In response to the sense of shock,alarm & powerlessness that I felt on reading the recent very long letter of Dr Laibow summarizing the activities of Codex, I (-probably like others who took the time to read it fully), have been wondering about it`s veracity, it`s authenticity:

Unfortunately, it seems to be true!

Dr. Matthias Rath, a major league health good guy, seems to be the leading disseminator of info on Codex & also the main proponent of action to forestall what he describes as:

"The Greatest threat to Health in the History of Mankind"

(-Clearly, he`s not too happy about it!)

Before you dismiss this as just another case of internet hysteria/paranoia (-tempting though that maybe to some!-), please take at least a quick look at the brief second web page listed below........

-Paronoia? -I don`t think so!

These web pages are helpful, both to get a sense of what Dr Rath is about and, importantly, to confirm/clarify just what Codex is attempting and what we can do about it.

The second address is his primary Codex page:

(-for anyone who feels that, "life`s too short" or whose limited eyesight makes reading anything the length of Dr Laibows`s recently posted, highly informative missive too much of an ordeal), I assure you that this a very concise, single page, to-the-point summary of the extremely restrictive legislation Codex is surreptitiously trying to impose on us all: -ie. the whole world !-

From some of the replies already posted on this topic on this board, (re. people`s experience in countries where this legislation has already progessed further than in the US, Canada for example), I have a sense that some people feel that, "It doesn`t seem to be too bad, too restrictive....."

Regrettably, this response demonstrates a fatally flawed take on what`s really happenning!

From what I have learned, it appears that the strategy is to move so slowly, so gradually as to be inobtrusive, like a hunter carefully closing in on it`s prey, unnoticed till the final lethal strike, then it`s "fait accompli !", done, accomplished.....effectively too late! ! (to take any effective counter action............ -Other analogies: "under the radar"....stealth airplanes...... )

-Too fanciful? -Actually, this response, tempting though it may appear, serves only to demonstrate how just effectively this surreptitious strategy has been working so far!

In the UK also, this scenario fits the facts: Lots of talk about harmonizing with European Laws, much apparent "concern" about "safe levels" of vitamins...........Yeah right! - like pharmaceuticals, alcohol, tobacco are............."safe"? -They don`t seem very concerned about the safety of these products, do they?

A single example....... Apparently, it is intended to eventually "protect" us from "unsafe" levels of Vitamin C ! - And what`s their proposal for a "safe" daily maximum amount of vitamin C ? -200mg!!! -While this might appear quite reasonable to anyone unfamilar with the effective use of large, therapeutic doses of Vit C, anyone who is familiar with such usage knows that:

-Sadly, this is harmful, highly unethical nonsense!

Attempting to quietly remove the unpatenteable ( & consequentally, vastly less profitable) alternative treatments : -What is really going on here is a devious attempt to reduce the permitted levels of such potentially valuable substances as Vitamin C to such low levels that they no longer present the valuable therapeutic effects that they demonstrate at higher doses, & consequently, to prevent them functioning as effective, safe, & very affordable alternatives to the patented, HIGHLY PROFITABLE, ( & frequently highly problematic & potentially dangerous!) drugs that the big pharmas want us to buy instead: -Effectively, Codex, while pretending to take "the moral high ground", is attempting to legislate therapeutic levels of vitamins/ supplements out of existance by faking totally groundless, or utterly disproportionate concerns over their safety !

Vitamins are orthomolecular substances which naturally fit into our bodies on the molecular level: In contrast, patented drugs are frequently based on discoveries from the plant world. Unfortunately, in order to gain their patents, they have to have undergone some modification on a molecular level, so the drug companies, in order to gain their patent (effectively a licence to print money while it lasts!) struggle to introduce a molecular change that doesn`t destroy the beneficial effects of the substance. However, this molecular change generally means that the substance no longer properly fits into the molecular structure of our bodies: A consequence of this?.............SIDE EFFECTS!!! -Orthomolecular medicine refers to such modified substances as............TOXIMOLECULAR! - A case in point that comes to mind: There is a natural substance, beneficial to women at "that time of the month", it`s called PROGESTERONE, I believe it is derived from Mexican yams & works well. BUT, being a natural, orthomolecular substance, it had one major drawback to the pharmas, not patenteable: No patent? -no big profits! ............ What to do? -Modify it at the molecular level, patent it, & market it as.......PROGESTIN!!! -Of course, now it`s been changed into a toximolecular product, it now comes with it`s own side effects, but hey, it`s now patentable & that`s the important thing,................. isn`t it???.........................

On the specific substance, Vitamin C, I am speaking directly from my own experience: For the past 13 years, I have found it not only safe but significantly beneficial to consume between approx 10,000 & 20,000mg of VitC per day. This figure is entirely consistent with all true, authentic research on the subject, people`s optimum daily amounts vary, the normal optimum figure varying between about 1000 & 20,000 mg/day. (When in good health: -Can be 10 times as much when not.)

Why is Codex pressing for such a low figure? -Please see the above webpage (marked Codex) for a succinct explanation!

Thank you for your attention,

May you be Well and Happy!
