READ THIS VERY IMPORTANT HEALTH MESSAGE BELOW AND CONTACT EVERYONE.
Your right to choose your vitamin, mineral and other supplements may end in June of this year (2005).
After that U.S. supplements will be defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The CODEX ALIMENTARIUS (Food Code) is setting the supplement standard in all countries in the WTO. They will be enforced by the WTO and will over ride U.S. laws. The U.S. President and Congress agreed to this take-over when the WTO Treaty was signed. Violations are punished by WTO trade sanctions, CODEX drastically restricts vitamins, minerals, herbs and other supplements. CODEX met secretly in November, 2004 and finalized step 8 (the final stage), to begin implementation in June, 2005.
The CODE includes:
1)- No supplement can be sold for preventive or therapeutic use.
2)- Any potency higher than RDA (minimal strength) is a drug requiring a prescription and must be produced by drug companies. Over 5000 safe items now in health stores will be banned, terminating health stores as we now know them.
3)- CODEX regulations become binding internationally.
4)- New supplements are banned unless given very expensive CODEX testing and approval.
CODEX now applies to Norway and Germany, among others, where zinc tablets rose from $4 per bottle to $52. Echinacea (an ancient immune-enhancement herb) rose from $14 to $153 (both examples are now allowed by prescription only). They are now drugs! Vitamin C above 200mg, niacin above 32mg, vitamin B6 above 4mg are banned over-the-counter. No amino acids (arginine, lysine, camitine etc = essential amino acids!), essential fatty acids (omegas 3, 6, 9, etc), or other essential supplements such as DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, etc, are allowed.
The CODEX rules are not based on real science. They are made by a few people meeting in secret not necessarily scientists. In 1993 the FDA and drug corporations tried to put all supplements under restriction and prescription. But over 4 million Americans told Congress and the President to protect their freedom of choice on health supplements. The DSHEA Law was passed in 1994, which does so. But this will be over ruled by CODEX and the World Trade Organization.
Virtually nothing about it has been in the media. What the drug corporations have failed to do through Congress they have gotten by sneak attack through CODEX with the help of a silent media. What can be done at this late hour?
1)- Spread the word as much as possible. Please look at these websites, and inform yourselves fully at - http://www.ahha.org - http://www.iahf.com - http://www.alliance-natural-health.org .
2)- Oppose Bills S.722 and H.R.3377. These support the CODEX restrictions with U.S. laws, changing the DSHEA law.
3)- Support H. R. 1146 which would restore the sovereignty of the U.S. Constitution over CODEX.
4)- Express your wishes to the President, Senators and Representatives - A-S-A-P.
5)- Contact health marketing groups that can get their members to inform the government.

What about buying them over the internet?
I think you need to see a better tailor,,,who understands the phrase...."how's it hanging"!
Walk proud...try not to crouch so much....especially if you're in a Diner...them waitresses can read you a mile away.
I'm pretty sure they cut for high card on potentential Viagra candidate's.
Don't ask me how I know this
I can see why you posted this- sounds like "pills" are a very important part of your life.
Resistance is futile, though. The WTO will outlaw mackerel as soon as they catch on.
I just thought I would share!!! I'm trying to get in touch with the feminine side of me!!!
Like that will really happen!!!
Glad I have my own herb garden. Even my boneheaded dogs and cats know to go out and eat some grass when they have an upset stomach.
And if you eat a healthy diet, you don't need suppliments in the first place. I do take iron because I don't eat much red meat, and I can't choke down enough spinach to make a difference. But...when I find that iron ore vein in my back yard, I'll be diggin' for all it's worth, LOL!
I think this article is bogus, eventhough it doesn't apply to me in the least.
Eat your veggies, Friends! Make yourself a fruit Smoothie once in a while. 'Tain't Rocket Science.
If it were true it wouldn't last long. But it might convert a few million DUhmmies to the limited-government anti-world gummint philosophy after seeing what THAT could mean.
It would be if it was real. It's not.
bump ('cause somebody will be along with the truth)
Yer braggin'! I've been taking Cialis too and I've only had a woody for five weeks and three days.
Well, then, you obviously aren't in need of immediate medical attention.
I think I'll go adjust my tin foil now.
Hey, dvan, you're taking some crap for posting this and you haven't come back to defend it. Whatzzup with that?
The ads say if it lasts more than a few hours to seek immediate medical attention. Can you imagine THAT Emergency Room visit. And when they lay you down on the stretcher ...
He's depressed because they took away his St. John's Wort. Be gentle, Dog...
Do you know how this line of drugs was discovered? I did a brief stint as a contractor at a major pharma company (who has a product in this market) and my supervisor told me the story. Viagra was initially meant as some kind of heart or blood pressure drug. It failed in patient tests. But when the researchers asked for the remainder of the test samples to be returned after the failure of the tests, the men all refused to give their remaining pills back.
I have also heard this is true in Germany today. But here? I doubt it.
Get ready, before they'll apologize - the freepers I posted to will now start defending the legislation proposed by Dick Durbin and Hillary.
