I was thinking that CODEX was not a real threat anymore. But I got this from a very reliable professional yesterday. The big meeting is taking place July 5-12 and we need to voice our feelings concerning the lose of our freedom of choice concerning our health.

This is AN URGENT CRISIS: As unbelievable as it sounds, we in the U.S. are again on the verge next week of losing our right to use dietary supplements and nutrients.
The International Codex Alimentarius (food code) Commission meets July 5-9, 2005 in Rome to ratify the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline for ALL members of the World Trade Organization (WTO), including the United States. This guideline was developed by a United Nations Committee under the auspices of the World Health Organization. Once ratified, all members of the WTO, including the U.S., would be LEGALLY bound to abide by the rules of the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline and compliance would be mandatory in Europe beginning as early as this summer and in this country as early as next year.
The Vitamin and Mineral Guideline states, as summarized by Rima Liabow, M.D of the Natural Solutions Foundation, to the American Academy of Environmental Medicine:
1) "All therapeutic nutrients will be illegal for use unless tested as drugs before January 2010 and altogether after that date.
2) The application period for testing of a nutrient as a drug closes July 12, 2005 and virtually all applications (which cost approximately $800,000 dollars) have been rejected.
3) The Vitamin and Mineral Guideline will allow only a few ultra low dose vitamins and minerals and only in the synthetic, pharmaceutical-company manufactured formulations.
4) ALL OTHER VITAMINS AND MINERALS, AND ANY MORE POTENT DOSES, WILL BE ILLEGAL SUBSTANCES WHICH CANNOT BE OBTAINED WITH OR WITHOUT A PHYSICIAN'S PRESCRIPTION."
"The Chairman of the CODEX Committee for Nutrients and Foods for Special Dietary Purposes, Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, has publicly declared that 'Nutrition has no place in medicine" and nutrients may not be used to 'prevent, treat, or cure any disease or condition.'" We have naively thought we in the U.S. were protected by our hard-won Dietary Supplements Health Education Act (DSHEA), which was passed by Congress in 1994 to protect our right to use dietary nutrients as foods. The international Vitamin and Mineral Guideline will supersede our own laws, unless we act now to prevent this.
We DO have an advocate for the protection of our own laws allowing the use of dietary nutrients as foods and not highly restricted pharmaceutical substances, Dr. Edward Scarbrough, U.S. Manager for Codex. But Dr. Scarbrough can't act alone without concrete proof of a flood of US citizens' support for his position. PLEASE WRITE NOW with a Citizen's Petition to express your support. A letter is available by clicking here

that you can copy and paste into and email or print the letter out and fax, or write your own letter to Dr. Scarbrough. WRITE. Ignorance and inactivity on this issue have resulted in it getting this far. We are truly in imminent danger of losing our right to the natural prevention and treatment of disease.
