last call for CODEX

[Guest guest]

For those of you who have not been following the under-publicized

event called CODEX, here is a short course.  As of 1 August in Europe, more than ¾ of everything we consider readily

accessible  as a vitamin, mineral, or supplement will be banned from sale.  This

is not a joke.  This is not a misprint or mistake.  It is absolute FACT!

While we sat here in the U.S., fat, dumb, and happy, the

World Trade Organization, the World Health Organization, and our own wonderful

government have sold us and the majority of the world down the tubes for the

benefit of big dollars in the pharmaceutical industry.  I am not a conspiracy

theorist.  I am not anti-business.  I am not even anti medical establishment. I

am simply stating the facts as they exist at this moment in time.

Without going into lots of ugly detail that is easily

obtainable, what is happening is that unless you, as a manufacturer are willing

to foot the bill for extensive testing to “prove” your supplements

are not harmful, they will be banned from manufacture and distribution.  So,

you won’t even be able to give them away because you will be guilty of a

federal crime.

Now we have a law on the books called DESHA that was

supposed to protect our rights as citizens of this country from the threat of

loosing our vitamins, minerals and supplements.  The FDA was stopped dead in

their tracks as long as those manufacturing and distributing supplements did

not make claims that the products are treating or curing diseases.  And, unless

someone died of gross negligence on the part of the manufacturer or

distributor, all of our supplements can (as of right now) be sold as

nutritional supplements.  End of story. 

However, when congress votes tonight or tomorrow, or no

later than Friday on passing CAFTA (Central American Free Trade Agreement) and

it passes, article 6 within those pages of free trade garbage will force our

government to comply with ALL of the regulations set down by the World Trade Organization

and that includes CODEX as defined by the World Health Organization.

So what, you say?  Well the short story version is that

DESHA will be thrown out because it is in conflict with the rulings of the

world court and the WTO.  That means that all of our supplements will either

have to be federally tested and approved or they will cease to exist.

Time and space for only 1 example:  Iron is something that

most people really do get enough of in their diet.  Most iron deficiencies are

not really deficiencies, but rather the inability of the body to utilize the

iron that is already present.  Lets just set that aside for the moment. 

Because too much iron in your diet can be harmful, the WHO through the auspices

of the WTO have proclaimed that any product with IRON in it will be banned

unless there is incontrovertible  proof in studies done to the satisfaction of

the FDA (in the US) that the level of iron present in the product in question

is safe.  That means that unless you pony up the dollars, your basic

multi-vitamin with iron will become a thing of the past unless you purchase a pharmaceutical

company version of it WITH A PRESCRIPTION FROM YOUR DOCTOR!  Are you getting

the picture? Where is the money trail?  Who is protected from what? And who is

laughing all the way to the bank?

I just got off the phone with one of my friends in the UK who is a

supplier of supplements I recommend to people fighting cancer.  I use the

product myself.  The UK health agency has gone to him and told him that in

order for his 2 products to remain on the market (never mind that he has

hundreds of users who have never shown a side effect and the products

themselves have a 200 year safe history), he will have to pay over $3,000,000 (US

equivalent) per item for testing.  He told me that he never expected to gross

that amount let alone net and still have profit left over.  What are his

options?  None.  Will the 49 documented studies published on PUBMED have any

bearing on this decision? NO.  The reality is that if he continues to sell his

products in the UK,

he will go to jail. 

That is what is coming here.  Most vitamin, mineral, and

supplement suppliers are little mom and pop type operations. (less than 50

employees).  Most have multiple products. Guess what is going to happen to them

in 3 years?  What is going to happen to your supplement supply in 3 years?

Are you getting the picture?

The clock is at the 11th hour plus.  Within the

next 3 or 4 days, the whole game is about to finish.  Win or loose, the game

will be over.  We are not going to be able to go back and reset the clock.  We

are not going to be able to take another vote.  WAKE UP PEOPLE.  There is

precious little time left.

The senate passed CAFTA on 2 July.  The president signed the

CAFTA bill last year pending ratification in congress.  All that is left for

this nightmare to begin is one little vote in congress and our rights are tubed

again.

Get on the phone, get to your emails, whatever it takes but

contact everyone and anyone you can think of to fight this.  Contact your

congressman.  Contact all the congressmen from your state and tell them to vote

NO on CAFTA because of article 6, CODEX.

Of course you can choose to be complacent because there are

only a couple of things you use.  So what.  Your Dr can write a scrip for your

vitamins and the insurance company will pick up all but the copay.  So what? 

Well, the little guy gets screwed again.  Your complacency will effect all of

us.  It is not too late, but there is only moments before this is yet another

opportunity lost. 

Where do you Stand?  Can you justify sitting on your hands

while more of your freedoms are stripped away?  Can you excuse yourself from

this because you just don’t want to get involved?  

I work with terminal people every single day that are

staying alive only because of supplements.  The mainstream medical community

has already condemned them to death.    What happens when that becomes you? 

How will you feel about it then?
