Health Freedom Threats: Codex, FDA, Vaccinations, GMOs
Codex Alimentarius (World Food Code)
Summarized in 7 Points
See Dr. Rima’s recent hard-hitting video expose on Codex’s plans for nutrients – The Theater of the Absurd: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P30Itrfhn8o
HealthFreedomUSA.org, the website of the Natural Solutions Foundation, is beholden to no one: our only interest is health freedom. Rima E. Laibow, MD, successful natural medicine physician since the 1970s, has studied 16,000 pages of Codex documentation. Her conclusion is that people who say that Codex is “consumer protection”, “voluntary”, or “harmless” are, at best, seriously mistaken.
Codex in Depth: http://www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php?page_id=161
1) Started in 1962 by UN, Imposed by WTO Sanctions
Codex Alimentarius was created in 1962 as a trade Commission by the UN to control the international trade of food. Its initial intentions may have been altruistic but it has been taken over by corporate interests, most notably the pharmaceutical, pesticide, biotechnology and chemical industries.
Codex Alimentarius is backed up by the crippling trade sanctions of the World Trade Organization (WTO). Any non Codex-compliant nation would face huge economic punishment since they would automatically lose in any food-trade dispute with a Codex compliant country.
2) “Nutrients are Toxins” Is Junk Science
Codex Alimentarius Commission (CAC) has two committees which impact nutrition.
One of them, the “Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses” (CCNFSDU), is chaired by Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, a physician who believes that nutrition has no role in health. This is the “top-guy” for Codex nutritional policy, and he has stated that “nutrition is not relevant to health”.
As unbelievable as it may sound, Dr. Grossklaus actually declared nutrients to be toxins in 1994 and instituted the use of toxicology (Risk Assessment) to prevent nutrients from having any impact on humans who take supplements! It is worth mentioning that Dr. Grossklaus happens to own the Risk Assessment company advising CCNFSDU and Codex on this issue. This company makes money when its toxicology services are used for the “assessment” of nutrients. Here in the U.S. we call that a “conflict of interest”.
Codex is made up of thousands of standards and guidelines. One of them, the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG), is designed to permit only ultra low doses of vitamins and minerals (and make clinically effective nutrients illegal). How can the VMG restrict dosages of vitamins and minerals? By using Risk Assessment (toxicology) to assess nutrients.
While Risk Assessment is a legitimate science (it is a branch of toxicology), it is the wrong science for assessing nutrients! In fact, in this context, it is actually junk science. Biochemistry, the science of life processes, is the correct science for assessing nutrients. Codex Alimentarius treats nutrients as toxins, which is literally insane.
Nutrients are not toxins – they are essential for life.
No matter what Codex Alimentarius officials say to convince you that Risk Assessment is a “science-based” approach to nutrients, it is not.
And it is worth repeating that Dr. Grossklaus, the head of Codex Alimentarius, owns the Risk Assessment company advising CCNFSDU and Codex on the “benefit” of using Risk Assessment to assess nutrients.
3) Not Consumer Protection – That’s Propaganda
Contrary to the propaganda, Codex Alimentarius has nothing to do with consumer protection. Nothing! Codex is about the economic ambitions of multi-national corporations, in particular, the pharmaceutical industry.
Using their multi billion-dollar marketing budgets, these industries have launched a massive media propaganda campaign to paint Codex Alimentarius as a benevolent tool of “consumer protection”, as well as to negatively taint the image of natural health options and mislead people to fear them as “dangerous”, so they will take drugs (which really are dangerous). Natural health products and options have an amazing safety record and are remarkably effective, especially when compared to pharmaceutical drugs.
Unfortunately, one-time defenders of health freedom such as National Nutritional Foods Association (NNFA) and Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN) have joined the propaganda bandwagon and are spreading false information saying that Codex Alimentarius is either “harmless” or benevolent “consumer protection”. Neither is true.
The membership of these one-time defenders of health freedom has become permeated by people from the pharmaceutical industry (for example, CRN counts as its members corporations such as Monsanto® and Bayer®).
4) Codex: Serious Threat to Health and Health Freedom
If Codex Alimentarius is implemented in the United States of America, therapeutic dosages of vitamins and minerals (and all other nutrients soon to follow) will become unavailable because they will literally become illegal.
Here’s how it would work, in a nut-shell:
Due to the junk science use of Risk Assessment (toxicology) to assess supposedly toxic nutrients, a false belief is being engineered saying that “nutritional supplements are dangerous to people’s health”.
Using this false belief generates calls to “protect” people from these “toxic” nutrients. After the calls come the bills to set ultra low permissible dosages (remember, nutrients are deemed “dangerous toxins” under this false belief). If enough of us and our Congressional delegates buy this nonsense, we and Congress would blindly comply with Codex Alimentarius’ VMG. And blind compliance is what the industries behind Codex Alimentarius intend.
Blind compliance goes hand-in-hand with lack of activism. This lack of activism allows our protective laws, classifying nutrients as foods with no upper limits (such as DSHEA), to be easily repealed and replaced with draconian laws to classify nutrients as toxins. And “harmonization” with the pro-illness, pro-pharmaceutical industry Vitamin and Mineral Guideline is there to fill the void.
Only intentionally ineffective, ultra low dose supplements would be legal, with or without a prescription, on the VMG list. If enough people do not take action, we can expect to watch nutritional supplement manufacturers and, thus health food stores, to go out of business, in a domino effect. The only player left standing would be Big Pharma.
Therapeutic grade vitamins, minerals, and amino acids would be eliminated from the marketplace (although a few low-dose supplements would be allowed by Codex, as a symbolic measure to avoid suspicion about their ulterior motive).
Natural health professionals would lose the tools of their trade (nutritional supplements) and health conscious people would be unable to choose natural health options for health promotion and disease treatment.
And that is, in a nutshell, how Codex Alimentarius is poised to make Natural and Nutritional Medicine (NNM) disappear from the legal health world and go underground. Who benefits? Big Pharma.
It would take a few years for the above scenarios to be feasible (Codex Alimentarius is meant to go into full global effect by 2010). The slower the process takes, the less alarmed people will be. That’s probably the logic of the architects of Codex Alimentarius.
5) Serves Economic Interests of Sickness Industries Through WTO and Napoleonic Code
More and more people are turning to natural health products globally. The “wellness” trend is a major trend in today’s society. The more natural health products people use, the fewer drugs they buy. The pharmaceutical industry, which is part of the “Sickness Industry”, fears the inevitable shift toward natural health care.
Instead of accepting the will of the people and rethinking the future of the pharmaceutical industry, the industry has decided upon an unethical course of action: the use of deception and deceit to eliminate natural health products completely.
Codex Alimentarius is a shrewd vehicle for protecting the pharmaceutical industry from the loss of income it stands to suffer due to the inevitable growth of natural healthcare.
Codex Alimentarius is the resistance of the dinosaurs to inevitability: the burgeoning desire of humanity for a healthier, saner, and more sustainable way of life.
The World Trade Organization (WTO) intends to force Codex Alimentarius upon the nations of the world, including the U.S. This would be done under the threat of massive economic sanctions if WTO-countries do not comply with Codex Alimentarius.
Furthermore, Codex is based in the Napoleonic Code, not Common Law. That means that under Codex Alimentarius, anything not explicitly permitted is forbidden. Under Common Law, we hold that anything not explicitly forbidden is permitted. The difference is the difference between health freedom and health tyranny. Codex Alimentarius would be able to ban supplements by default.
6) DSHEA Protects America From Codex Alimentarius
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA, 1994), an American law classifying our supplements and herbs as foods (which can have no upper limit set on their use), was passed by unanimous Congressional consent following massive grass-roots support organized by health food stores. Millions of American activists told Congress, in no uncertain terms:
“Protect nutritional supplements as foods or we will remove you from office”.
Congress listened and carried out the will of the people.
DSHEA appropriately classifies nutritional supplements as foods which can have no upper limits set on their use. DSHEA recognizes that people use nutrients safely to deal with their individually differing needs for nutrients. The concept of biochemical individuality means that people have different needs for nutrients at different times. Are nutrients toxins? No, they are not toxins. They are substances essential to prevent, treat and cure any chronic condition, in differing doses at different times in different people.
DSHEA protects the US from Codex Alimentarius’ deadly Vitamin and Mineral Guideline. We must reach our Congressional members, educate them about the facts on Codex Alimentarius and direct them to vote against anything that would threaten DSHEA.
Congress holds the keys to our health freedom. And it is their job to listen to us. Let’s not allow cynicism to tell us otherwise. We did it for DSHEA in 1994. We can do it again this year.
7) Your Action is Needed Now!
DSHEA is under significant legislative attack right now. Your letter-writing is crucial: if the members of Congress know that voting against health freedom means losing their jobs come election time, they will listen. Our job is to make sure they get the message loud and clear. Take action via our 3 easy steps and send personalized emails to Congress right now.
After taking action on HealthFreedomUSA.org, consider getting together with others in your area and visit your Congressional members in their home offices. If we wait, we lose our health freedoms. Once we “HARMonize” with Codex, by the way, we no longer have the right, while we belong to the WTO, to repeal or change that “HARMonization”!
Conclusion
The objective of the pro-Codex Alimentarius multi nationals is to “boil the frog slowly” so that we do not wake up to it in time to avoid Codex.
Once we have “HARMonize” to Codex Alimentarius, as long as we are in the WTO, we cannot amend or change what we’ve been “HARMonize” to.
Codex Alimentarius will go into global implementation by December 31, 2009, unless We, the People, avert it. We must act now because right now, with $758 Million spent on declared Congressional lobbying by Big Pharma last year, there are members of Congress who are trying to overturn DSHEA and allow Pharma-friendly free reign for Codex. If protective laws like DSHEA are destroyed, the sanctioning power of the autocratic WTO kicks in, and it will be impossible to get out from under Codex Alimentarius. We can protect our access to high potency nutrients and stave off an adulterated food supply only by putting pressure on Congress.

Thanks for putting this out in such an honest and encouraging way!!! You don't realize how refreshing it is - both that there are no attacks (as you said) but also that the message is uplifting and gives something to fight FOR instead of only fighting against...."

Looking For Fast Weightloss and Nutritional Supplements?
He is 91 and I'm 50!
30 years later, not too bad, hm?
We had lots of help, though. Especially from this store.They carry all the latest nutritional supplements, and all at great prices. Really fast shipping, great customerservice and guarantees, too.
Swanson's research library and updates,combined with super affordable prices, has really helped us out over the last 10 years or so.
If I look for a natural sweetener, for example, They have it. The ultra new LO HAN extract, and of course Stevia at a price that would make Publix Supermarket angry.
Same goes for Diet Aides. Their 30 Day Diet Formula beats what the national chain has to offer, in effectiveness, easy use and price.
It's a no brainer. If you are spending any amount of your budget on supplements, This is the place to go!

You don't need a business degree to startmaking money online! here!
Some people complicate the concept of making money online.
I myself have bought many products that promised 'the easy way to affiliate marketing ..' etc., but following through on their teaching was usually not easy or quite impossible for a newbie. Very discouraging!
Then, fortunately for me, and possibly you, too, training videos arrived.
So what’s the secret to making money online besides the technical know-how?
You have to master the art of acquiring customers and converting them into sales. You must become a master of marketing. If you know how to get customers to buy products… you will never look back.
Now there is a shortcut way while you get your marketing skills up to speed. And that is to use templates. Simply model what has worked for others in the past, but put your own unique spin on it.
There is a reason it’s called “copy” writing. Even the best in the world are swiping ideas from one another all the time.Most people online today are just lighter versions of the original masters of marketing

So what’s the secret to making money online besides the technical know-how?
You have to master the art of acquiring customers and converting them into sales. You must become a master of marketing. If you know how to get customers to buy products… you will never look back.
Now there is a shortcut way while you get your marketing skills up to speed. And that is to use templates. Simply model what has worked for others in the past, but put your own unique spin on it.
There is a reason it’s called “copy” writing. Even the best in the world are swiping ideas from one another all the time.Most people online today are just lighter versions of the original masters of marketing

the Stuff We Put in Our Mouths!
If you know me, you know I always rant about all the 'plastic' foods some people call normal groceries. Friends have criticized me:) for not buying certain things for my kid and , funniest of all, for not knowing how the drive through at the local MC D's works.
Well, for those wondering what's the big deal, natural versus artificial 'processed' food, here is some good info.
If we think about the biggest health problems and school problems, perhaps it would make sense to be more careful about what we take home from the supermarket.
Many recommended foods, like cold- pressed organic oils, The all natural sweetener STEVIA, a pure plant extract, organic nuts and seeds etc. can be mail ordered from Swansons Health Products without breaking the budget. I've been doing it for years.

New from the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition: Vitamins Alter Aging
I was just reading this in 'Total Health Breakthroughs':
"The next time you hear some nay-saying doctor claiming that there is no evidence that vitamins actually do anything, show him this:
A new study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition found that multivitamins can keep you younger, longer. The study found that those who took a multivitamin daily had 5.1 percent longer telomeres than those who didn't.
Telomeres are the key to aging. And it's not just your lifespan that's affected... Short telomeres dramatically boost your risk of serious diseases. One study of 60- to 75-year-olds showed that those with short telomeres had a 300% higher death rate from heart disease and an 800% higher death rate from infectious diseases."
So here is one more reason to just go ahead and do this one simple thing: take that vitamin every morning!
If we do something just for ourselves, even a little thing like that, we feel better already anyway. And even if we eat junk sometimes, I'm sure junk with all the necessary vitamins and nutrients combined is better than junk alone!
It doesn't have to break the budget, either. You can get all the best brand name products or just a simple all natural Multi Vitamin for less than supermarket prices here. All Natural -NOT synthetic - is the key. Afterall our bodies are natural , for the most parts, anyway :) They are much more likely to know what to do with Natural Supplements than with 'plastic', don't you think?

No More Artificial Sweeteners!
For years I've been hearing that those DIET sodas etc. are bad for you. But what matter, if at least they save us from getting fat, right? Wrong, and here is why:
Makes you think, doesn't it? I wonder how many of us do what I always did and try to compensate for the unhealthy "help" to our waist line -and other unhealthy habits- by taking multi vitamins and supplements for our particular problem areas. That's fine, I think. But what about this official and FDA approved "help", that is actually defeating it's own purpose?
There are natural alternatives, like extract of Stevia, the Sweet Herb. No adverse effects, no calories, no Worries! And you'll find it here at a lower price than Splenda at the store! I tried their Stevia Extract in individual Packets and it actually tasts better than any of the artificials.
Be Well,

A Nutrient For Olympic Brain Power and It Makes Your Baby Smarter, Too!
I just read this in a newsletter.Valuable Information for anybody, especially if you're pregnant or if you care about someone over 50.
Mental Rocket Fuel for Olympic Brainpower
February 24, 2009
By Jon Herring
The media is full of articles touting fish as brain food. And for once they've got it right. Fish really is brain food. And it's not just because of the omega-3s.
When it comes to "smart nutrients," dimethylaminoethanol - DMAE for short - is at the top of the list. And wild-caught, cold-water fish are chock full of it.
Why is it so good for you? Read on to find out.
The breakfast of champions
By the time an athlete has made it to the Olympics, his or her physical skills have been honed for years. But performance on game day challenges the brain as well. Mental agility is critical. The good news is you don't need to be an Olympic athlete to have Olympic brainpower.
Mental agility comes largely from acetylcholine, an important chemical messenger within the brain. Acetylcholine helps control learning, memory, attention, and general processing speed. It also sends out the signals that tell the body what to do.
The more acetylcholine you have, the faster those signals can go out. The faster the signals go out, the quicker you can think and react.1
So where does acetylcholine come from? Your brain makes it from choline, which is usually considered a B-complex vitamin.
Choline does many important things in the body in addition to its role in the brain. For example, it is vital for metabolism and cell signaling. Egg yolks are an excellent food source of choline, by the way.
Your brain is hungry for choline. While your brain accounts for only about 2% of your body weight, it is an energy hog. It gets first dibs on 20% of the calories you eat so that it can keep all systems alert and ready to respond.
And choline makes a big difference.
A supercharged beginning
Researchers at Duke University tested the benefits of choline in an unusual way. They gave choline supplements to pregnant rats to see if the supplements would make a difference in the brains of the offspring. The results? The brain cells of the offspring were larger and the electrical signals that create memories fired much faster than those of the control group.
Head researcher Dr. Qiang Li noted that previous studies had shown that animals given choline were smarter and learned things more quickly. But it was unclear if the brain was actually changed in the process.
After the study results came in, Dr. Li commented, "Choline didn't just change the general environment of the brain, it changed the fundamental building blocks of brain circuits - the cells themselves."3
This same research has been confirmed by other scientists around the country. As a result, choline now has the status of an "essential nutrient." It is especially important for pregnant and nursing women.
So why not just consume more choline? How does DMAE fit into this picture?

Does Your CoQ10 Really Work?
If You're Taking the Wrong Kind, You May Be Wasting Your Money!
The many health benefits of taking Coenzyme Q10 are already well established... Yet many patients I talk to in my practice tell me they don't feel any different after they start taking CoQ10.
When they show me the bottle, I immediately know why.
As it happens, most of the CoQ10 they are taking never makes it to their cells where it can do the most good.
In fact, most people over 50 have a hard time converting CoQ10 into its usable form. The lion's share of the valuable CoQ10 enzyme disappears - making it impossible to give your cells the protection and nourishment they need.
Fortunately, I've found a simple way to solve this problem forever ...
Click HERE to get the most powerful, most effective form of CoQ10 on the planet - NOW!
Imports, exports, and on-site construction
The problem is that choline has a hard time getting into the brain. It gets there eventually. But it's almost always delayed in shipping.
When your brain doesn't get good quality fuel, it doesn't slow down your breathing or your heart rate. Instead it sacrifices mental clarity, leaving you feeling sluggish and unable to concentrate. Thinking is hard work, but it's low on the list of vital functions. That means that when the brain lacks fuel, thinking is the first thing to go.
Fortunately, there is a faster way to get your brain the choline it needs.
The answer is DMAE - the precursor to choline. DMAE is like rocket fuel for your brain, and it is able to cross the blood-brain barrier much faster than choline itself.2
By importing the raw materials, the brain can do its construction on-site. DMAE gets turned into choline. Choline gets made into acetylcholine. Acetylcholine lets your brain take off.
Get more DMAE
The best dietary sources of DMAE are wild Alaskan salmon, sardines, and anchovies. These fish are also known to be very low in pollutants like mercury and PCBs, which are common in many other fish species.
Since DMAE is so good for your brain, could eating fish actually prevent brain disease?
Researchers are currently trying to answer that question. In fact, there is a study of almost 15,000 people underway to determine whether the amount of fish they eat affects their risk of developing dementia.
The first round of the study surveyed 14,960 adults aged 65 or older living in China, India, and five different Latin American countries. Almost immediately it was discovered that those who ate fish two to three days a week were 19% less likely to develop dementia than those who never ate fish. And the incidence of dementia dropped another 19% among those who ate fish almost every day!
This connection between eating more fish and lowering the risk of dementia held true across all of the countries, despite the different backgrounds of the adults involved. In spite of large differences in income, education, and lifestyle habits like smoking, the results were the same. Follow-up studies will look at long-term data with these same participants.4
Clear head, calm mood
The known benefits of DMAE include:
Boosting memory and brainpower.
Reducing depression.
Improving athletic performance.
Increasing concentration in kids with attention problems.
Making skin appear more youthful.5
DMAE's potential for treating dementia is very promising. But why not prevent memory loss in the first place by making sure you've already got it in your diet? Protect your brain by giving it what it needs to function at optimal capacity.
One of the best things about DMAE is that it can give you mental energy with no crash-and-burn. Caffeine will give you a similar buzz, but it gives you the jitters too. The ups and downs caused by excess caffeine are hard on your body. Boosting choline with DMAE is a natural way to stay focused and alert without any nasty side effects.
I highly recommend making wild (NOT farm-raised) salmon and sardines a regular part of your diet to shore up your DMAE levels. If you don't care for fish, supplements may be a good idea. This is one nutrient you simply have to have. For Olympic-level mental clarity, give your brain the fuel it needs.
To Your Health,

How do You like that? I always appreciate it when something gets explained in simple words, so I can remember. Perhaps I need more DMAE too! Seriously, though, I do get overwhelmed with all the stuff I should be taking; all that Good for You Stuff. That's where a good, simple explanation of the why and how all these vitamins and nutritional supplements work is very helpful. At the health food store, too many times the staff just tries to 'sell you' but aren't able to answer my questions. Now I found a great on-line vitamin store. They have explanations with every one of there products and if I want to really go in depth, they have a full archive of every conceivable mineral, vitamin and combination supplements. I like to go there and take my time choosing the right nutritional supplements. And the prices are reasonable enough, too.

Dirty, Dirty Rainforest Business
This could happen anywhere, especially if it's in a location that is poor and not easy accessable.
Chernobyl in the Amazon
Thu, February 4, 2010 5:43:11 PMFrom: Luis Morago - Avaaz.org avaaz@avaaz.org
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Dear friends,
Oil giant Chevron faces losing a historic lawsuit on its dumping of toxic waste in the Amazon -- let’s help the people of the rainforest win in the court of public opinion and before the law, by pressing Chevron’s new CEO to clean up this mess and stop Chevron’s dirty lobbying:
The final judgment is imminent after a long legal battle between oil giant Chevron and brave indigenous peoples of the Ecuadorian Amazon, who are seeking redress for the multinational’s dumping of billions of gallons of toxic waste in the rainforest.
If Chevron is forced to pay billions in damages, it’ll be a big step forward in bringing the world’s polluters to account. Staring defeat in the face, the oil giant has launched an aggressive last-ditch lobbying campaign to derail the lawsuit.
But Chevron’s newly-appointed CEO, John Watson, knows his corporation’s brand is under fire and is growing anxious about the risks of a public shaming campaign -- so let’s turn up the heat! Sign the petition calling on Watson and Chevron to clean up their mess in Ecuador, and it will be delivered to them, their shareholders and the US media -- click below to take action now:

Over the years, civic action like this has helped to transform the policies of some of the world’s biggest corporations. But most oil and gas multinationals spend hundreds of millions of dollars every year on lobbying and PR to reshape climate and energy policies and deny their environmental and human rights duties -- and Chevron is one of the biggest offenders.
From 1964 to 1990, Chevron-owned Texaco deliberately dumped billions of gallons of toxic waste from their oil fields in Ecuador's Amazon -- then pulled out without properly cleaning up the pollution they caused. Facing imminent defeat in the courts, Chevron has turned to legal machinations, powerful public relations firms and lobbyists to intimidate its critics into silence and avoid responsibility for the massive environmental and human disaster it has triggered.
Chevron has repeatedly vowed to refuse to pay for a clean up even if ordered to by the court, saying “We will fight this until hell freezes over. And then we’ll fight it out on the ice.” Its latest strategy: pushing the US government to bully Ecuador into burying the case.
We cannot sit back and watch Chevron make a mockery of justice like this -- let´s build a critical mass of support and help the rainforest inhabitants win this round, in the court of public opinion and before the law. Click here to sign the petition and help deliver a deafening message personally to Chevron´s new chief executive John Watson:

Citizens in Ecuador and around the world are joining efforts to stand up to one of the biggest and dirtiest corporations in the world. If we win, it’ll be another big step toward a future of corporate accountability, human rights and environmental protection. Let's add our voices and spread the word today!
With hope and determination,

Dear friends,
Oil giant Chevron faces losing a historic lawsuit on its dumping of toxic waste in the Amazon -- let’s help the people of the rainforest win in the court of public opinion and before the law, by pressing Chevron’s new CEO to clean up this mess and stop Chevron’s dirty lobbying:
