Planned Europe-wide ban on vitamin therapies Dear Advisers, Europe is once again standing at the crossroads. On 12th March the European Parliament decides whether the people of Europe will continue to have unrestricted access to side-effect free natural therapies or whether the pharmaceutical lobby will succeed in reducing the European Parliament to the role of the pharmaceutical cartel's Strasbourg puppet show. Never before in history has there been such an intense struggle over the right of the European people to natural, effective and side-effect free health care. To date over 400 million (!) e-mails have been sent to EU politicians demanding this right and rejecting the unscrupulous EU Directive providing for a Europe-wide ban on vitamin therapies and whole groups of natural substances, for example natural amino acids. Only by being aware of the background facts can we understand the aggression with which the pharmaceutical lobby and its political marionettes are acting. How, otherwise, can we explain - that there are still MEPs, particularly those from the pharmaceutical republic of Germany, who are ignoring the 400 million no votes against this Europe-wide muzzling law. - that there are still EU politicians who believe in the pharmaceutical lobby fairy tale of consumer protection from vitamins and other natural substances, whereas every child now knows that no-one has ever died from taking vitamins, whereas every year hundreds of thousands of people die from the lethal side effects of pharmaceutical drugs (remember Lipobay?) - that the planned EU Directive would ban precisely those natural substances which have now proved vital to the breakthrough in the natural fight against cancer: optimum doses of vitamin therapies in conjunction with natural amino acids such as lysine and proline. These are now to be outlawed under this unscrupulous EU Directive because they threaten a billion-pound market in chemotherapy and other hazardous anti-cancer drugs. - that the newly-erupting EU corruption scandal has now revealed that the pharmaceutical lobby has managed to infiltrate a member of the supervisory board of the second-largest pharmaceutical company in the world, in the person of EU commissar Bolkenstein, into the 'cabinet of Europe' , without this man ever having been elected by anyone. Are you really surprised that the debate about EU corruption seems never-ending, given that the unelected and anonymous pharmaceutical cartel is sitting in the highest political body in Europe and is now issuing its own laws from there? In view of these alarming facts, the eyes of millions of Europeans have turned to Strasbourg, where the European Parliament votes on the EU Directive for the banning of natural therapies on 12th March. EU politicians have the following choice: either to send out a message against corruption of the EU by the pharmaceutical lobby by rejecting this directive, or to vote for it, and in so doing reduce the entire European Parliament in the eyes of the world to a Strasbourg puppet show run by the pharmaceutical cartel. Worse still, any such decision would endanger the health and lives of millions of Europeans. On 12th March every European politician present will be taking the most important decision of his or her life - and they will have to take responsibility for it. What you should do before the vote on 12th March: - Phone the MEPs from your region, either in their UK or Brussels office and insist on speaking to the MEP personally. As a voter you have that right. Speak up for yourself! - Demand a clear no vote from the MEP on the EU Directive on Dietary Supplements on 12th March. No MEP has the right to ignore 400 million votes. - Tell the MEPs that if they do not vote against this muzzling law, the debate on EU corruption will grow still louder, because one group and one group alone will profit from the outlawing of natural therapies: the pharmaceutical industry. - Point out that the consumer protection argument used by the pharmaceutical lobby to attempt to force this directive through the European Parliament is ridiculous in face of the facts: no person has ever died from taking vitamins, whereas the side effects of pharmaceutical drugs have become the fourth -most common cause of death. - Say that it is unacceptable for laws affecting the health of all the people of Europe to be made by a commission for which no-one has voted. Make it clear that it is unacceptable, that members of the supervisory boards of pharmaceutical companies are sitting on the European Commission (e.g., EU commissar Bolkenstein) from where they are writing Europe's laws in the interest of pharmaceutical companies and other economic interest groups. Say to them: that's corruption! - Ask them: who voted you into the European Parliament? As EU politicians, was it the voters, the people of Europe to whom you are answerable or the big multinationals? - Insist that the MEPs allow a voice for the greatest peoples' movement in Europe and the 400 million votes for natural health on 12th March. Demand that Dr. Rath is not muzzled but is allowed, on behalf of humanity, to speak in the European Parliament and officially inform the MEPs. - Vote for the right to free access to natural therapies in Europe. For more information go to the website www.petition450.org. There you can cast your vote by clicking a mouse and send your protest to all the responsible politicians. Vote before March 12th. - Speak to friends and acquaintances about the breakthrough by vitamin research and cellular medicine in the fight against cancer. For the first time it is possible to combat the causes of cancer by natural means and with no side effects. For further information go to http://www.stopping-cancer-naturally.org. Also draw their attention to Dr. Rath's lecture series at the end of March (see box below). - Tell your acquaintances about the connection between the progress of vitamin research and the pharmaceutical industry's machinations to outlaw this information via new muzzling laws, simply in order to protect their billion-pound markets in pharmaceutical drugs. 12th March 2002 is an important date for the people of Europe. Do your bit to see that the decisions made in the European Parliament on that day serve our health interests rather than the pharmaceutical industry trade in disease. Do it now. Best wishes Dr. Matthias Rath
