READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT HEALTH MESSAGE BELOW AND CONTACT EVERYONE.
Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may end in June of this year (2005).
After that U.S. supplements will be defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (Food Code) is setting the supplement standard in all countries in the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and will over ride U.S. laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to this take-over when the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are punished by WTO trade sanctions, CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004 and finalized step 8 (the final stage), to begin implementation in June, 2005.
The CODE includes:
1)- No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use.
2)- Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a drug requiring a prescription and must be produced by drug companies. Over 5000 safe items now in health stores will be banned, terminating health stores as we now know them.
3)- CODEX regulations become binding internationally.
4)- New supplements are banned unless given very expensive CODEX testing and approval.
CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where zinc tablets rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient immune-enhancement herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples are now allowed by prescription only). They are now drugs! Vitamin C above 200mg, niacin above 32mg, vitamin B6 above 4mg are banned over-the-counter. No amino acids (arginine, lysine, camitine etc = essential amino acids!), essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 9, etc), or other essential supplements such as DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc, are allowed.
The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They are made by a few people meeting in secret not necessarily scientists. In 1993 the FDA and drug corporations tried to put all supplements under restriction and prescription. But over 4 million Americans told Congress and the President to protect their freedom of choice on health supplements. The DSHEA Law was passed in 1994, which does so. But this will be over ruled by CODEX and the World Trade Organization.
Virtually nothing about it has been in the media. What the drug corporations have failed to do through Congress they have gotten by sneak attack through CODEX with the help of a silent media. What can be done at this late hour?
1)- Spread the word as much as possible. Please look at these websites, and inform yourselves fully at - http://www.ahha.org - http://www.iahf.com - http://www.alliance-natural-health.org .
2)- Oppose Bills S.722 and H.R.3377. These support the CODEX restrictions with U.S. laws, changing the DSHEA law.
3)- Support H. R. 1146 which would restore the sovereignty of the U.S. Constitution over CODEX.
4)- Express your wishes to the President, Senators and Representatives - A-S-A-P.
5)- Contact health marketing groups that can get their members to inform the government.

Will this raise the price of foods that contain these vitamins and minerals, because they will need to be tested to see if the fall within the guidelines??
I don't get it----why wouldn't something like this be in the news?
I take a couple of supplement and have done so for years.
Unreal. Bump.
Where did you get this crap? It's not true.
Someone from Nigeria emailed it to him.
That, I'll buy.
I've been taking Saint John's Wort for years...and I still got these little bumps on my penis.
People...
I emailed it to him. This is not a fraud.
My name is Mikkilolo Kombobo, I am the husband of the now deceased former Minister of Trade Relations for Nigeria, who was brutally murdered by the opposition party. I, and my two children, are destitute, but my wife had very much money in a bank account, which I cannot access unless I can give the bank officials $1000.00 American Dollars...
I've been taking Cialis and I've had a woody for six weeks. All my baggy pants are worn out in the crotch. Do I need to see the doctor?
Source please.
Hey, Mikki, where's that $1 million you were supposed to deposit in my account? And did my credit card number go through for the "reasonable service charge"? I know it was probably just a minor delay and the mil will be there when I go to the bank in the morning, right? I hope so, cuz I'm running low on vitamins and elixir of eternal youth.
Gimme my blankie! WAAAA!
This post should be pulled unless it can somehow be converted to lawn fertilizer.
More than we needed to know. :-)
ALL YOUR VITAMIN AND MINERAL ARE BELONG TO US!
Somehow this makes me think of that dude with the blender and the mackerel in those orange juice commercials.
You're totally NUTS!
LOL
And I'm stuned that I won't be able to buy my vitamin supplements.
Oh, wait a minute, I don't buy any vitamin supplements...but I'm still pi**ed about this law!
