Dear Reader,
I was angered when I read the following, sent to me in an email yesterday ‘Codex Alimentarius is a law designed to hand over the control of natural remedies to pharmaceutical giants...’
What?! Surely this is not possible?
After looking at the official Codex Alimentarius website and scratching a bit deeper, I am afraid to say we are all in for a massive unpleasant surprise. The Codex plan is to suppress all beneficial, high-potency nutrients, and to allow only those and a few other vitamins and minerals that will be high-priced, low-dosage, and synthetically-made by drug companies.
Codex regulations will become binding internationally. Any nation that has entered into trade agreements through the World Trade Organisation (WTO) and its adjunctive treaties will eventually be forced to adopt Codex standards.
All “new” types of food supplements will be banned unless tested and approved in a drug-like manner. This is certain to be both time consuming and unnecessarily expensive. And, the validity of such tests is doubtful. A favourite ploy of drug and governmental authorities is to use such small doses of a supplement that tests do not show any noticeable value.
Codex standards are not based on accepted scientific research findings. Rather, the ‘standards’ are developed in a political and economically-driven atmosphere, with seemingly obligatory EU and drug-cartel approval.
This is just the tip of the iceberg the ripple effect of Codex will be felt and seen throughout the world and will touch every aspect of our lives.
If you want to continue to have the freedom to choose what you eat, which supplements you buy (and in what strength) and where your fresh produce comes from, this is what I need you to do NOW.

Codex Alimentarius: The end of our freedom to choose
We are told that Codex Alimentarius is a law that will officially cover all foods, whether processed, semi- processed or raw, but far more attention has been given to foods (including supplements) that are marketed directly to consumers. In addition to standards for specific foods, the Codex Alimentarius contains general standards covering matters such as food labelling, food hygiene, food additives and pesticide residues, and procedures for assessing the safety of foods derived from modern biotechnology. It also contains guidelines for the management of official (i.e., governmental) import and export inspection and certification systems for foods.
It all may sound like a good idea, however under the guise of ‘protecting’ and ‘regulating’ us there is something much more sinister: This UN-sponsored global food standards body is deceptively promoting “consumer protection”. Based on nonsense science (by wrongly treating nutrients as toxins) it is a serious threat to your health and your freedom to choose. CODEX ALIMENTARIUS serves the financial interests of massive multi-national corporations who are illegally pushing to implement CODEX ALIMENTARIUS globally.
Codex will control:
1. Vitamins, minerals and nutrients,
2. Genetically modified organisms,
3. Toxic residues,
4. Antibiotics, drugs, growth stimulants and other hormones in food animals,
5. Organic foods, and
6. Irradiation of food.
Codex Alimentarius: Act now!
Unless we take this last opportunity and act urgently we will not be able to buy vitamins or health/nutritional supplements without a doctor's prescription - they will be banned from 31st December 2009.
You may think this can't happen, you may think why haven't I heard about this before. The reason is that there are vested interests from giant multinational pharmaceutical companies, and it's not in their interest that you know about and oppose this.
Codex and our lawmakers in Europe are banking on public apathy. Despite considerable pressure already exerted, our government is still planning to implement this law - UNLESS THERE IS MASSIVE OPPOSITION IT WILL GO AHEAD.
Like many health and safety matters this was started with good intentions, in 1962 by the United Nations, to establish international free trade foods but now Codex has become a major threat to our civil liberties and freedom of choice.
Please, sign the petition to the Prime Minister ... but you need to do this before 5 September 2009.
It takes 10 seconds!
This is for our health, and well-being and the health and well-being of our children.
