Codex Alimentarius - Dare you ignore it?

More and more people are becoming concerned about the shady, secretive organization that is Codex

Alimentarius - the thinly-veiled propaganda arm of the international pharmaceutical industry that does

everything it can to promote industry objectives whilst limiting individual options to maintain health

(which would diminish mermbers profits).

Codex alimentarius is one of the major bodies behind the effort to limit access to nutritional products

and information. Its motivation is not rocket science and neither is the source of its funding - moneythat somehow expected to return a profit to its members . . . Most of the information available

regarding codex alimentarius refers to its role in the USA, but it is not a US-specific body. Far from it,

Codex has wiggled its dirty little tentacles into just about every national or international body

concerned with public health. Posing as a benefactor, it then uses its significant financial and political

clout to do its masters bidding.

As you can read in the excellent article below, there is much to be concerned about when considering

codex alimentarius - ignore it at your peril.

What's really behind Operation Cure-All? Is it just the FDA and FTC taking their power too far? Or is

there a deeper, more sinister purpose to this campaign? Who are Codex Alimentarius?

How could a country that prides itself in its freedom of speech, freedom of choice, and freedom of information be facing such severe restrictions in health freedom and dietary supplements? Haven't the

 people made their will known?

Didn't our government pass the Dietary Supplement Health & EducationAct of 1994 to insure our right to health supplements?

Indeed, our government did. But the FDA and FTC have found ways to get aroundthat. The laws put in place to protect us are being ignored. And what's worse is that those laws are

about to be superseded, if the powers that be have their way.

OPERATION CURE ALL IS JUST ONE MEANS TO AN END

You see, Operation Cure-All is just a tactic, a vehicle, in a much bigger overall plan. It is a result of 

"Codex Alimentarius" (meaning food code) -- a set of regulations thataim to outlaw any health information in connection with vitamins and limit

free access to natural therapies on a worldwide scale.

WHAT'S BEHIND CODEX ALMENTARIUS?

Behind the Codex Alimentarius Commission is the United Nations and the World Health Organization

working in conjunction with the multinational pharmaceutical cartel and international banks. Its initial

efforts in the US with the FDA were defeated, so it found another ally in the FTC. Now Codex, with

the FTC and the pharmaceutical cartel behind it, it threatens to become a trade issue, using the

campaign of Operation Cure-All to advance its goals.

Codex began simply enough when the U.N. authorized the World Health Organization and the Food

and Agriculture Organization to develop a universal food code. Their purpose was to 'harmonize'regulations for dietary supplements worldwide and set international safety standards for the purposes

of increased trade. Pharmaceutical interests stepped in and began exerting their influence. Insteadof focusing on food safety, Codex is using its power to promoteworldwide restrictions on vitamins and food supplements, severely limiting

their availability and dosages.

REAL GOALS OF CODEX

This is to bring about international 'harmonization.' While global harmony sounds benign, is that the

real purpose of this plan? While the stated goal of Codex is to establish unilateral regulations for 

dietary supplements in every country, the actual goal is to outlaw health productsand information on vitamins and dietary supplements, except those

under their direct control. These regulations would supersede United States domestic lawswithout the American people's voice or vote in the matter.

HOW CAN IT BE POSSIBLE?

Americans gasp at the thought. It goes against everything America stands for. Many believe this can't

 be possible. The truth is, it's not only possible, it's required by the Codex Alimentarius agreement.

In fact, under the terms of the Uruguay Round of GATT, which created the World Trade Organization,

the United States agreed to harmonize its domestic laws to the international standards. This includes

standards for dietary supplements being developed by the United Nation's Codex Alimentarius

Commission's Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use.

The Uruguay Round Agreements carry explicit language clearly indicating that the U.S. must

harmonize to international standards:

"Members are fully responsible under this Agreement for the observance of all provisions.... members

shall formulate and implement positive measures and mechanisms in support of the observance of the

 provisions.... by other than central government bodies." [WTO TBT Agreement at Article 3.5]"

In other words, the federal government must NOT ONLY CHANGE FEDERAL LAW, but must

ALSO require state and local governments to change their laws as well to be in accordance with

international law.

 Not only that, but Codex Alimentarius is now enforceable through the World Trade Organization

(WTO). If a country disagrees with or refuses to follow Codex standards, the WTO applies pressure by

withdrawing trade privileges and imposing crippling trade sanctions. Congress has already bowed to

this pressure several times and so have the governments of many countries.While the exemption clause (USC 3512(a)(1) and (a)(2) was created to supposedly protect our laws

from harmonization to international standards, it has proven to be totally ineffective. The United States

has already lost seven trade disputes despite the exemption clause. Due to the enormous pressures put

on them by lobbyists from multinational corporations (who contribute millions to congressional

campaigns), Congress bowed to pressure and changed U.S. laws.

It appears our government (as well as al others) is being manipulated one way or another to serve the

goals of the UN, the World Health Organization and the World Trade Organization. Food controlequals people control -- and population control. Is this beginning to sound like world

government and one-world order? Could this be the real goal behind Codex Alimentarius?

The United States, Canada, the Europeans, Japan, most of Asia, and South America have already

signed agreements pledging total harmonization of their laws including food and drug laws to theseinternational standards in the future.

WHAT CODEX WILL BRING

What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important points:

Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or therapeutic use.

Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies and the big

 phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and sell the higher potency products

(at inflated prices).

Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses allowed (such as 35 mg.

on niacin).

Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a third category (neither 

food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies could regulate and sell. Any food with anytherapeutic effect can be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.

Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape clauses would be

eliminated).

All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex testing and approval.

Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.

According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of International Advocates for 

Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look forward to:

"If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino

acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name

of the game for Codex Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can

 be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms.

Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the Canadian Health Food Association and the

Health Protection Branch of Canada (HPB).

congresswomen. Write to them insisting we hold a PROPER Oversight Hearing on Codex. An

oversight hearing was held in March, but the truth was not allowed to come out. Witness who could

have exposed what was going on, and who wanted to testify, were denied the opportunity to testify.

Congress is strongly resisting another Codex hearing, telling their constituents it is not necessary. This

could not be further from the truth.

CTM Comment: Codex is of course the single most virulent assault on human freedoms in recent

times. The desire to control of vitamins, minerals, herbs and other nutritional factors has ironicallycome about as a result of the inability of orthodox medicine to destroy the practice of the public

 practicing health without drugs. Now government and the chemical industry will seek to control and

 profit from that which was available directly to the public in times gone by.

Overturning the Codex by a mass public backlash is CTM’s sworn goal. This can be accomplished

only with large numbers of the public all committed to this endeavor. As the above article states, the

Internet itself has been able to grant access to information freely to anyone seeking it, and this has

destabilized the flow of money and profits to institutions which have traditionally believed their highly

lucrative monopolies to be safe. There can be no more pressing reason to join the Campaign for Truth

in Medicine for FREE than to assist us in pressuring for the scrapping of Codex.
