"Big Pharma" won a major victory in Rome, Italy today.
VITAMINS AND MINERALS FOR OVER THE COUNTER SALE WILL BE PHASED OUT,
ALMOST COMPLETELY, ***IN EVERY COUNTRY ON PLANET EARTH*** !!!
The "German Model" of health care will now be the law of the
land - in every land. Below is a press release from Diane Miller
JD of the National Health Freedom Coalition, detailing the action.
Diane is in Rome at the meeting.
=====================================
Press Release - National Health Freedom Coalition: Codex Full
Commission adopts Codex Guidelines for Vitamin and Mineral Food
Supplements in final form July 4, 2005, Rome Italy. by Diane Miller
JD.
MINUTES AGO, THE FULL COMMISSION OF CODEX ALIMENTARIUS ADOPTED IN
FINAL FORM THE CODEX GUIDELINES FOR VITAMIN AND MINERAL FOOD
SUPPLEMENTS. This is the Step 8 adoption, the final stage
of adoption for the international Codex guidelines. The Codex
Vitamin and Mineral Food Supplements guidelines ARE NOW OFFICIAL
AND NO LONGER IN DRAFT FORM.
The Commission, attended by over 85 of the 171 Codex countries,
adopted the guidelines by consensus method.
There was brief discussion before adoption taking in comments
from a small number of countries and two NGOs.
Australia requested adding the word "only" in Section 1.3 between
the words "apply" and "in". The sentence would then read "These
guidelines apply only in those jurisdictions where products defined
in 2.1 are regulated as foods."
Australia's comments were followed by request from Venzuela and
Spain to clarify the spanish translation.
Venezuela was followed by China. China stated that every government
in making decisions about vitamins and minerals should take into
account the dietary limitations of their own countries, that
governments can select vitamins and minerals acocording to the
customs and habits of their country. China also pointed out that
there should be definitions of the sources of vitamins.
Columbia spoke up and commented that Vitamins and Minerals are
intended for deficiencies and are recommended for health reasons and
said that there has to be no exaggerated use of minerals.
Egypt commented and offered a clarification saying that vitamin and
minerals can be considered if daily needs are not being met.
After the countries were heard, the Chairman recognized NGOs (Non-
Governmental Organizations). National Health Federation (NHF) a
world wide consumer organization with NGO status at Codex was
recognized to speak.
Attourney Scott Tipps of NHF stood and requested the guidelines
not be adopted but rather be sent back to commitee for 3 important
reasons.
1) According to Codex rules a "purpose" statement must be part
of all guidelines adopted and the Vitamin and Mineral guidelines
did not contain a purpose.
Secondly, the guidelines did not define vitamin and mineral and
therefore it is unclear as to what is being regulated.
And lastly, he pointed out that the Chinese comments were
substantive and according to Codex rules on page 27 of the
procedural manual, a substantive amendment request should be
addressed at the committee level.
His comments were heard.
The NGO IADSA was then recognized. IADSA stressed the fact that the
draft guidelines should be adopted because they had been worked on
in committee for near 10 years and that valuable consensus had been
reached in the Bonn Germany committee meeting and the guidelines
should now be passed.
After all comments, the Chair, consulted with counsel to assess
whether the addition of the word "only" would change the meaning of
the sentence. After learning that it would not, he consulted with
Australia, and Australia repeated their request for amendment.
The Chair recommended adoption of the amendment and there was no
dissent.
Then the Chair recommended the guidelines be adopted at Stage 8 in
their final form and that China submit their substantive amendment
requests to the committee at their next meeting.
There was no further comment or dissent from any country and THE
GUIDELINES WERE ADOPTED.
WHAT THIS MEANS, in the United States, is that as soon as CAFTA
(Central American Free Trade Agreement) passes the House of
Representatives (it has already passed the Senate), THE U.S.
GOVERNMENT WILL BE FORCED BY THE TERMS OF THAT CAFTA AGREEMENT
TO RESTRICT VITAMIN AND SUPPLEMENT SALES IN ACCORDANCE WITH
"THE GERMAN MODEL" OF HEALTH CARE.
If and when this happens, the hard won 1994 DSHEA (Dietary Supplement
Health & Education Act) WILL BE NULLIFIED, and the dismantling of
the North American supplement Industry will begin.
However, it is not inevitable - the use of "supplements" and
other "alternatives" to conventional medicine regimens represents
over fifty percent (50%) of the total US health dollar spent
annually.
Eighty-eight percent (88%) of US adults use an "alternative," and
believe in them. Opposition is already gearing up for the battle.
This is a battle between "We the People," and the free world's
biggest, and worst, enemy - ever - "Big Pharma."
Stay tuned...
