Does this mean supplements like fish oil pills, vitamins etc? What a way to control people! For example, my husband reduced his BP and bad cholesterol by using fish oil rather than a statin. A boost for the pharmaceutical companies or what?

Any doubt this jackass is a communists pig.

He can “sign” whatever he wants. He is a pretender, and people will not follow this chump wannabe dictator. They just won’t do it.

Please note a minor error: Executive Orders are *not* legislation, though they are one of the more offensive abuses of the “Imperial Presidency”, and as often as not are sounding boards of presidential mental health.

Even more troubling are Presidential Signing Statements, where the president effectively rewrites legislation by saying what parts he will enforce and what parts he will ignore, taking away congressional authority; and how he wants to “interpret” the law, taking away federal judicial authority.

As such, PSS’s are clearly unconstitutional and a threat, and must be stopped; and EO’s must be limited to directives for enforcing new and existing laws, not to promulgate new parts to the executive branch.

Obama quietly gave permission for Codex Alimentarius - the United Nation's worldwide plan for food standards - to take effect in the U.S. via Executive Order 13544 of June 10, 2010.

Is that the correct date? It's almost a year ago and I'm still buying OTC supplements.

Cheers!

Big Pharma must have cut a deal with him. Eliminate their competition, and get large campaign donations. Not to mention Single Payer Drug preference........

This is Nationalist Socialism at the very definition of the term.

Is anyone, anyone at all surprised by this?

Shut these companies down and he’ll have even more in the unemployment line.

But that might be what he wants.

Obama Signs Legislation To Make Supplements and Alternative Health Remedies Illegal

Article and # 13.

[Will88]

It this is true, it’s very odd that the companies that would be affected first and most by this haven’t done anything to notify their customers or to initiate some sort of political action.

I order supplements online from some well know distributors and haven’t heard anything about this, or anything new on CODEX.

I’ll suggest we just follow his example and ignore laws like this one that we don’t like.

Since this article is from 2010, I am wondering if the whatever it was that he signed is supposed to take effect on a certain date which has not yet arrived? Or they just haven’t clamped down yet?

In the EU as of May 1, no herbs are allowed to be sold. Only licensed doctors can “prescribe” herbs, no one else can sell or legally buy them anywhere. I read a while ago that in England, they made allowances so that herbalists or naturopaths who are specially “licensed” by the government may be allowed to dispense herbs. I also read that many Chinese and other herbalists and herb stores were closing up.

We are quickly devolving into a hateful fascist state. I can’t understand people who don’t see this.

There is not a private sector industry these communist will not attack or take down.

Barry wants everyone to have a govment job, buy at guvment sto'.

[Myrddin]

Bastard. My supplements keep me healthy and away from the expensive medical services. It figures this asshole would take this action. Likely for a pile of cash from the pharmaceutical industry.

[freespirited]

I read the Executive Order. I dont see anything to indicate that the U.S. is adopting Codex Alimentarius.

Regardless US law takes precedence over Codex recommendations and standards. Much ado about nuttin’ here IMO.
