ACT NOW OR YOU WILL NOT BE FREE
Dr. Ed Scarborough, US Manager of Codex, has issued a formal written statement
1 to the Codex Alimentarius Commission
2 that the United States Delegation, during the July 4-9, 2005,
meeting in Rome, will support compulsory rules created by this international organization directly
overruling U.S. law regarding access to vitamins. The Codex is a joint venture between the United
Nation's World Health Organization and Food and Agriculture Organization (WHO/FAO). YOU MUST ACT IMMEDIATELY IN TWO WAYS: 1. CONTACT: Tell them you DO NOT want your FREEDOM of choice taken away by these international organizations!
Tell President Bush, your two Senators and Representative to instruct Ed Scarborough to defend and
uphold US law at Codex in Rome! Tell him to REJECT the Codex Guidelines for Dietary Supplements.
2. FINANCIALLY SUPPORT:
Right Now International Organizations Are Taking Away Your Freedom
of Choice
George W. Bush
Your Two U.S. Senators and your U.S.
Representative
Send money to the people that are representing YOU, the man in the street. We have no ties to industry. Dr. Carolyn Dean, president of Friends of Freedom International (FOFI) based in NYC, is attending Codex as a Board Member of the National Health Federation, a recognized NGO (non-governmental organization) 3.
FOFI governing council members Trueman Tuck and Peter Helgason will also attend Codex as delegates watch dogging the Health Canada delegation.
FOFI regularly lobbies Congress, prepares briefings for trade regulators fighting border disputes between Canada and the U.S. under NAFTA rules, and works with health freedom leaders across the globe. 4
Your support of Friends of Freedom International is VITAL to continue these battles ! 5
The REAL HARM of the mandatory upper limit program, detailed below, would fall heaviest on the consumer who would no longer be able to access the products they have become accustomed to in order to maintain their health.
Call to Reject Compulsory Guidelines: Health freedom leaders and ordinary citizens from around the world are calling for the rejection of Codex guidelines for Vitamins and Minerals because the guidelines include a provision to establish "upper limits" on vitamins and minerals based on a "risk assessment" protocol which has already been determined by "consensus" in the cloakroom. Formal "consensus" will be "officially" revealed at the Codex meeting in Rome. The cloakroom model favored by the Food and Food Supplements Chairman Rolf Grossklaus is the German model of risk, which is based on whether or not vitamins and minerals interfere with drugs. Based on actual studies of real incidents, there is more risk in eating food than in consumption of dietary supplements. 6
The German delegation has issued its proposed Risk Assessment "guidelines" 7 which, if adopted, would severely limit access to normal American quantities of vitamins.
Vitamin C, for example, would be limited to 225 mgs. The German "scientific" justification for severely limiting access is based on faulty and archaic scientific standards which automatically favor protection of drugs. 8
An enforceable "upper limits" program based on a Codex "risk assessment" protocol would infringe on an individuals' right to make their own health choices.
WTO: Although Codex is a voluntary membership organization, the majority of members of Codex also belong to the World Trade Organization (WTO). The WTO has mandatory agreements that identify Codex as THE international food standard program that all of the WTO member countries must abide by. 9
The WTO/Codex connection has been deliberately obscured during Codex deliberations so that the urgency to be concerned about the impact of the so-called "guidelines" (read world regulations) becomes shrouded in United Nations-political technospeak. 10
For a complete inside view, read Peter Byrne's exposeŽ on Codex. 11
It isn't going to get any clearer than this, folks.
In a nutshell, President Bush, your two U.S. Senators and your one Representative member WORK FOR YOU!
MAKE THEM WORK FOR YOU!
