Off topic in a way - but another instance of Big Business set hell bent at
fleecing us all even more. Greed really does know no limits does it?

CODEX ALIMENTARIS ENDS U.S. SUPPLEMENTS IN JUNE 2005
By Dr. James Howenstine, MD.

Working stealthily BIG PHARMA has rapidly pushed their legislative program
(Codex Alimentaris) in Europe that will eliminate the free choice Americans
now have to purchase vitamins, herbs, minerals, homeopathic remedies,
aminoacids and nutritional supplements. This elimination of all competition
for the pharmaceutical industry will produce an enormous increase in the
already exorbitant profits earned by the pharmaceutical firms. Of even
greater significance the lack of free choice to stay well by taking
effective nutritional substances will promptly be followed by a sharp
increase in illnesses that will only be treated in the future with
pharmaceutical drugs.
The new Codex Alimentaris adopted in a secret meeting in Europe in November
2004 is scheduled to take effect in June 2005. Because the United States
belongs to the World Trade Organization WTO any changes approved in Europe
automatically become law in the United States superceding our own laws (we
are no longer a sovereign nation). Failure to comply with these changes
institutes lawsuits which can not be won as they are settled in
international courts which care nothing about U.S. laws. Incidentally,
Europe has been very leery of genetically modified foods because of serious
concerns about their safety. By this same WTO mechanism Europe will be
forced to accept importation of U.S. GMO foods even if they know they are
bad for health.
The features of Codex Alimentaris are:
*
No supplements can be sold for preventative or therapeutic use.
*
Any potency higher than RDA levels (pathetically low) is a drug that
requires a prescription and must be produced by drug companies.
*
Codex regulations are binding internationally
*
New supplements are banned unless given Codex testing and approval
(certain to expensive and lacking in scientific merit). Norway and Germany
are already operating under the new Codex regulations. The price of zinc
tablets has gone from $4 to $52. Echinacea has risen from $14 to $153.
*
Codex regulations are not based on science or research findings. These
regulations were developed by 11 appointed persons. Guess who appointed
them?
Why Haven't I Heard About This?
The controlled press has been instructed to avoid commenting on this issue
until it becomes a fait accomplis. At that time your congressional
legislators will say they are sorry but there is nothing they can do to
reverse the Codex. The truth is they were, all but a few, bought and paid
for back when the World Trade Organization was ratified by the U.S.
Congress.
Can Anything Be Done To Stop This Codex?
I hope so but the remaining time is miniscule and the enemy has carried out
a brilliant strategy. There is no reason for any optimism about the
possibility of reversing the Codex regulations. A brilliant English lawyer
(Anderson), considered to be the top lawyer in that nation, has agreed to
fight the Codex in court because he thinks he can win. This fight needs
money because it is against the incredible financial resources of the
pharmaceutical industry. Two other sinister Directives need to be reversed
in Brussels as well as the implemented Codex Directive. Donations to the
http://alliance-natural-health.org are vital. These funds will be used to
try to overturn Codex and hire lobbyists to oppose the other 2 Directives.
Contacting your congressman and senator is desirable. If millions of persons
get involved the legislators may take notice. The New World Order leaders
were shocked when meetings in Seattle in 1999 and Quebec City in 2001
resulted in riots. When the responsible U.S. citizens that have kept
themselves well with intelligent use of supplements learn that there is
nothing available from now on they are likely to be very angry. For many
persons this may crystallize the realization that they are living in a
police state and that there is no longer any power in the hands of private
citizens.
What Can Concerned Individuals Do To Preserve Good Health?
If our donations do not stop this pharmaceutical juggernaut some planning
may still be worthwhile. Many large natural health product providers seem to
be oblivious to this danger. Perhaps they are planning on selling out to BIG
PHARMA at the last minute.
Buying a stock of the supplements that have helped you seems wise. Remember
the expiration date on a bottle is simply an educated guess. Manufacturers
want to error on the side of public safety and setting dates close to the
time of manufacture encourages increased sales volume. The U.S. military has
taken advantage of the probable safety of medicines beyond their expiration
date by continuing to use expired bottles for many months beyond their
expiration date. This program has saved the military many millions of
dollars in pharmaceutical costs. To determine safety of products involves
expensive testing for evidence of oxidation and other deterioration of
products so it is not done very frequently by most companies.
Essential Oils
Those of you who don't know much about essential oils may want to start
learning fast. Essential oils are very potent substances carefully grown and
distilled from flowers, trees, shrubs, plants, flowers, roots, herbs, bushes
and seeds. To make one pound of a pure essential oil may require 500 to 2000
pounds of carefully harvested raw plant material. An essential oil which was
found in the tomb of a pharaoh in Egypt had no sign of bacterial
contamination. The wide variety of essential oils permits therapy of many
different conditions. Perhaps the most valuable thing about essential oils
is that they do not expire worthless. They will be just as useful 25 years
from now as they are today. Young Living Essential Oils of Payson, Utah has
a fine reputation for quality products. They are multi-level marketing so
you will need a referral to a representative to buy products.
