CAFTA outlaws many vitamins & supplements - stop CAFTA NOW!
Ask the Pharmacist Group ^

Posted on 07/23/2005 6:26:34 AM PDT by disclaimer

Defeat CAFTA and save your supplements. You must ACT NOW!

ACT NOW to preserve your access to nutrients, effective vitamins and minerals, and nutritional medicine! We have leverage - it's very close, perhaps within 1 vote!

Listen to Len & Joe (Ask the Pharmacist Group) discuss why this is an important issue for all of us!

CAFTA - BAD for jobs, small businesses, health stores, health freedom

In the fine print the US is being signed up to global regulations that override US supplement laws.

The outcome for CAFTA is up for grabs, as the vote is very close in the House of Representatives.

This is a unique opportunity to get our issue before Members of Congress who have not heard of Codex. The more people who call, the better.

A much larger number of calls are needed to delay CAFTA.

Contact Congress today

Recommened Action:
Call your Representatives' office

Call 1-202-224-3121 weekdays or call your representatives' local district office. If possible, take the time to visit their local district office in person.

or

Email your Representative. We've provided a link to a letter that you can edit to make it easy for you.

It's close! You can influence the decision.

Please ask your Representative to make arrangements with staff to remain vigilant. The treaty could be introduced to the House in the middle of the night or in the early morning.

It will take a lot of pressure, and many more calls and letters to raise this issue of the international threat to supplements. Many in Congress have not yet heard of Codex.

If opposition succeeds in delaying CAFTA, it could still come back for a vote later.

Calls need to number in the millions if we are to make this a 'third rail' issue. It is going to take sustained involvement by the public over a long time, to achieve adequate status for natural medicine.

****BTW, how do you select text from a .pdf file? I used to be able to do it easily . . . .****

On the tool-bar, to the right of the page navigation "Hand" there should be a "Select Text" button/tool. If your button labels are on you'll see "Select Text", if it's turned off it will only have a 'T'.

This is part of the "Basic" buttons for the tool-bar so make sure that is checked "on" or you won't even see the "Hand".

Can you imagine how your typical Rep. must feel when his or her office gets a phone call about vitamin supplements? I'm chuckling simply thinking about it . . . .

...and your statement illustrates very clearly that you don't understand the issue at stake.

Yes, my sister takes it instead of expensive prozac.

I'm glad that it works for her.

At least she won't be shooting up a high school.

Eric Harris was taking Luvox (a Prozac-like drug) at the time of the Littleton murders

by Peter R. Breggin, M.D.

On April 29 the Washington Post confirmed that Eric Harris, the leader in the Littleton tragedy, was taking the psychiatric drug Luvox at the time of the murders. On April 30 the same newspaper published a story quoting expert claims that Luvox is safe and has no association with causing violence.

In fact, Luvox and closely related drugs commonly produce manic psychoses, aggression, and other behavioral abnormalities in children and young people.

THE SHOOTING DRUGS -- PROZAC and its Generation EXPOSED on the Internet

Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil, Serzone, Luvox, Celexa, Effexor, Wellbutrin, and even Ritalin (amphetamine for kids) have cropped up at the crime scenes of so many school shootings, suicides, workplace massacres and other callous killings, that NO ONE can deny the truth any longer:

SSRI drugs actually cause people to kill, without feeling remorse, often with a smile, saying: "Sorry, but you deserve it." This horrible truth is HARD to accept, especially for the news media, and the few people who may benefit from them.

What might that issue be? Surely you can articulate it if it is so important.

Glucosamine, Chondroitin & MSM virtually eliminated all of my joint pain within a couple of months. I was taking so much aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. that coupled with acid reflux, when the stuff came up it was burning the inside of my mouth and leaving painful sores. I haven't had to take a NSAID in probably over 6 months now except for the occasional headache and the mouth sores have never returned.

I don't know what it is but CAFTA is turning normally sane people into moonbats.

There is a distinct possibility they've always been moonbats.

I'm supposed to take your disingenuous request seriously? I don't think so rude boy.

Great discussion we're having. Excuse me while I fire-off a letter to my Congressman that the WTO is trying to take away my dandelion-extract.

In many cases, that can't or shouldn't be done without a doctor's help. That assumes everyone has access to one, which isn't true.

Oh, give me a break. I often know more about the prescriptions that doctors have written for me or my family, all through my own research. I've even had to call and have a doctor correct an improper dosage or change the drug altogether. They're not "gods", not even close.

In fact, many are nothing more than middle men for HMOs and/or pharmaceutical companies.

Comments like: "Can you imagine how your typical Rep. must feel when his or her office gets a phone call about vitamin supplements? I'm chuckling simply thinking about it . . . ." from you certainly doesn't make great discussion.

Excuse me while I fire-off a letter to my Congressman that the WTO is trying to take away my dandelion-extract.

Why don't you go pick some dandelions while you're at it. You're not here for discussion, you're here to ridicule.

All of this also assumes perfectly educated people... Even if we miraculously get the former (dream on)

Well now we know where you're coming from... talk about pointy-headed elitism.

CAFTA - BAD for jobs, small businesses, health stores, health freedom

CAFTA - Good for multinational corporations, globalists, one-worlders, wage slaveholders, and the power elite.

The president likes it. And that's all there is to it.
