You could lose your right to buy vitamins and supplements
over the counter!
Although little publicized, there is now a Toxic Power Play
for control of the global food supply and the natural
health industry
compiled by David Klein from Living Nutrition

Have you ever heard of the Codex Alimentarius? If not, don't
be surprised. It's one of the best-kept "open secrets" of
the U.S. government. Codex Alimentarius is Latin for "food
code" or "food regulations." It refers to a set of strict
regulations covering all aspects of food. Modern Codex
regulations are prepared by the Codex Alimentarius
Commission, which works with the EU and UN in an attempt to
regulate every aspect of food production, packaging,
preparation, preservation, and presentation of food "from
farm to fork." Codex also attempts to regulate supplemental
nutrients. It even goes so far as to eliminate organic
produce standards.
The World
Trade Organization (WTO) has accepted the standards of the
Codex, and at some point, if their plans are allowed to
proceed, member countries of the WTO will be required to
implement Codex "to harmonize the standards" for the global
trade of foods. It may present the greatest disaster for our
food supply--and thus for our health--that we have ever
encountered, here and abroad.
The Codex agenda, which has long metastasized in the
recesses of closed board rooms and governmental chambers, is
now coming to light. This is the paramount issue of our
times. If Codex standards ever replace the current laws in
the U.S. governing food and dietary supplements, it will
affect not just Americans' right to choose supplements, but
our right to grow crops with untampered seeds, to buy pure
organic food, and to live free of the tyranny of Big Agro-Chem-Pharma-Med,
through health-destructive FDA rules enacted and enforced by
a pro-corporate government that cares nothing about our
health freedom. Now more than ever, we must exercise our
democratic duty and be vigilant in protecting that freedom,
the health and survival of the Earth, and all her
creatures.
Codex is not just about nutritional supplements, although
that is an important aspect. In fact, it is the primary
political battlefield where the war is being waged about who
will regulate and control the global food supply, from field
and stable to table. This war is being waged by an
increasingly tangled web of global governmental and
international authorities, aligned with big business and
financial interests, wherein human health takes a back seat
to profit and power goals.
Codex will control: vitamins, minerals and nutrients;
genetically modified organisms; toxic residues; antibiotics,
drugs, growth stimulants, and other hormones in food
animals; organic foods; and irradiation of food.
The plan is to suppress all beneficial, high-potency
nutrients, and to allow only those and a few other vitamins
and minerals that will be high-priced, low-dosage, and
synthetically made by drug companies.
Codex regulations will be binding internationally. Any
nation that has entered into trade agreements through the
WTO and its adjunctive treaties will eventually be forced to
adopt Codex standards.
Although American dietary supplements are currently
protected somewhat by the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994 (DSHEA), its provisions are threatened
by Codex and an interlocking array of emerging regional and
international treaties, agreements, regulatory handshakes,
and other executive arrangements that will "harmonize" our
food laws to harsh standards, thereby relegating DSHEA to
the dust bin of history and suppressing our health
freedoms--unless we take immediate action.
Do we want to see a world where our access to safe,
nutritious foods and effective dietary supplements is
restricted, suppressed, and controlled by government in
alliance with its pharmaceutical and chemical bedfellows? If
not, we must act now, before it's too late. Contacting
government bureaucrats with your complaints is largely a
waste of time. Effective action takes the form of advising
others and contacting your representatives in Congress. We
must be persistently vocal because most politicians don't
see the light; they feel the heat. Make them
feel the heat.
