Subject: Re: CS>CODEX in Rome
Nenah,
Nothing further from my mind that argue a pointless issue but I need to
remind you that the same type of sentiment was running when we signed into
WTO.
I remember " the chinese are going to tell us what to do.." and so on.
Nenah, I have been in the supplelement business for ten years (ex-chemist
in my previous corporate career), I belong to their associations, know
most of the principals, meet with them at seminars, conferences, etc,
consult for some and nobody is attaching any significance to the Codex or
Cafta as a threat to our domestic liberties.
I did call Mel Martinez's office (senator) and asked once again what would
the effect be and the legal advisor expressed a similar view. These
treaties are to regulate our traffic to them not to control our internal
affairs. Only Congress can act to rescind or modify DSHEA.
I make my living formulating, consulting and selling supplements and I am
not concerned by Codex. Europeans are under the authority of Codex and
they deserve it because for many years they have been scolding us for our
liberal approach to supplements and giving us the same falacious argument
as the dieticians in this country use, namely that " a balanced diet
supplies the necessary nutrients,,,"
Keep also in mind that in Germany, England and France the Homeopathic
medicine is going to boom.
Rath thought to gain reverse momentum to affect Rome's meeting by
capitalizing on our freedoms. Unfortunatelly it did not work.
I must say that some countries such as Indonesia, Philipines, etc are
presently using much tighter rules than Codex and thus they represent an
opportunity for more imports from US.
What will do our industry in, is the "enemy within" Many schools of
Naturpopathy are no more than alopathics using natural remedies. They
believe in remedying, rather than curing. They use herbals not to cure but
to "manage" disease. Is a trade off of synthetics for natural compounds
but the underlying healing philosophy is much different from that of the
tradicional naturistic physicians.
Be aware of schools emerging all over offering two years of weekend
training for MD allopaths to get a degree in naturopathy.
The NIH has a definite agenda to destroy us by accepting to run studies
(double-blinds, placebo controlled, multicenter, etc.) on specific
supplements against specific diseases. Those who submit to that approach
are totally unaware of biochemical individuality and pretend to gain the
seal of approval of the NHI for commercial purposes. Many fail and they
blame the establishment. Fools. They are the ones who make money peddling
compounds but they have no idea about their physiological dynamics.
These are the folks that are doing us in together with the the
FDA-AMA-FTC cartel and our fury and discust should be primarily directed
against them.
But then, that is just my opinion....
PS I'll never feel "shouted" at by you.
Friendly
Frank Cuns-Rial..
Hi Frank.
Thanks for telling us that bit of info about you. I find it fascinating. I
also agree that an allopathic approach to herbs never works, and that the
NIH approach to supplements is indeed idiotic.
I sincerely hope you're right about CAFTA not superseding the DSHEA. I
really do. But, just in case...CAFTA isn't a good "treaty" anyway so I do
hope you and others notify your congressmembers to NOT vote for CAFTA.
My best to you,
Nenah
