Working stealthily, BIG PHARMA has rapidly pushed their legislative
program (Codex Alimentaris) in Europe, which 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 significanceis that
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 be 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 all but a few were
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.
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 will 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?
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.
No Herbs? Use 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. They will be just as useful 25 years
from now as they are today.
