The good guys lose one....THE FIGHT GOES ON " PHARMACEUTICALS " WIN

ROUND ONE

It appears from the information on the web is that the European

commission has voted in favour of the Codex Alimentarius. What a

shock. Any body else has the latest info? the fight is not over.

Why the EU Wants To Restrict Dosages of Vitamins (San Dimas, CA- USA)

The biological action of virtually every prescription drug can be

duplicated with nutritional supplements, a fact that pharmaceutical

companies want to keep hidden from the public. The therapeutic

benefits of many vitamins, minerals and herbs are dependent upon

dosage, which may be a chief reason why the European Union (EU) wants

to restrict the dosage of essential nutrients in vitamin pills.

Examples abound in regards to the therapeutic benefits of high-dose

vitamins. For example, high-dose thiamin-vitamin B1 (300 mg or more)

has been shown to benefit patients with multiple sclerosis.

High-dose riboflavin-vitamin B2 has been used effectively to remedy

chronic migraine attacks. High-dose (1500+ mgs) niacin-vitamin B3

lowers cholesterol and may help in the treatment of schizophrenia.

High-dose pyridoxine-vitamin B6 may help with mental depression. High-

dose inositol may calm anxiety

High-dose vitamin B12 (1500+ mcgs) may resolve cases of insomnia,

memory loss, false senility and nerve disorders.

High-dose folic acid (800-5000 mcg) may prevent Alzheimer's disease,

heart and blood vessel disease, and reduce the risk of birth defects.

High-dose vitamin C acts as an anti-histamine and may thwart an

allergy attack, prevent cataracts, replace the need for blood

pressure lowering drugs, prevent kidney stones and gall bladder

attacks.

High-dose vitamin D (4000+ units) may normalize blood pressure, calm

down autoimmune reactions, prevent bone thinning and block the growth

of existing tumors.

Under regulations being considered by the EU, non-essential food

supplements such as lutein, green tea, ginseng, and other herbal

products may be banned from use without a physician's prescription.

public's right to exercise self care, and to practice prevention,

will take a step backward if the EU rules go into effect. The public

will become more dependent upon over-priced prescription drugs which

produce far more side effects than vitamins and herbal products.
