Codex Alimentaris the greatest threat to freedom of choice in health care that this century has ever produced.
Helke Ferrie Vitality Magazine Feb 2005

"If we don’t do something about it, the nightmare will become a walking reality in Canada sometime soon after August 1, 2005

Codex is a sub-committee of the United Nations mandated to establish guidelines on food trade issues.

...nations that are part of the World Trade Organization can be severely sanctioned.

In the early 1990’s Codex began to look at establishing internationally "harmonized" standards for food supplements.

Oct 1996, Codex met in Bonn, Germany to make radical changes in the rules governing dietary supplements for member nations. The proposals of greatest concern were those made by the German delegations, which is sponsored by Hoechst, Bayer and BASF. These are the three drug companies formed when the Nuremberg War Trials disbanded IG Farben, manufacturer of poisonous gas used in Nazi concentration camps. None of its directors were ever penalized for their actions during the war. They divided what remained from the company and split into three separate entities.

The three Nazi connected German drug companies have stated their main purpose as being to "...create a set of international standards to guide the world’s growing food industry and to protect the health of consumers." The drug company backed proposals.

In 2002 a European Union Directive produced such guidelines for Codex. The strongest effect of this Directive will be to cut off availability of all vitamins, minerals, enzymes and most other essential nutrients by re-classifying them as pharmaceutical drugs...eventually available by prescription only

... manufactured by pharmaceutical companies from synthetic materials including genetically engineered substances.

The WTO established in 1995 and the still to be ratified Free Trade Agreement of the Americas (FTAA) Canada and the US would be faced with serious actions if they don’t adopt these European guidelines. Codex authority is already part of these treaty tests.

As a result, Australia, Norway, Denmark and Germany have already adopted these "foods as drugs" guidelines.

Health Canada’s own website already lists the European Parliament Commission’s "upper safe limits" on supplements as desirable for Canadians to follow.

So without parliamentary debate, Health Canada quietly moved all supplements to the "drug" category effective Jan 2004, in order to get us ready to be "harmonized".

This prompted Bill C-420 (explained later).

Dr. Caroly Dean, a medical doctor and naturopath well know to Toronto is the President of "Friends of Freedom International" in which capacity she attended the Codex meeting in Bonn November 2004.

Effective Aug 2/05 all vitamin and mineral supplements on the EU Directive’s so called positive list, including everything from beta carotene to zinc, will only be available in the 25 EU countries if they comply with specific rules set out in the June 10/02 EU Directive relating to Food Supplements.

The effect of this Directive will be that thousands of European products and businesses will be gone this year.

In the UK alone, some 21 million people will suddenly have no access to any supplement vitamins, minerals, enzymes, fatty acids and more.

• It is based on outdated secondary literature
• Cites no evidence of dead bodies from vitamin overdosing
• It is produced by a "scientific" committee chaired by Pfizer’s very own Randy Dennin

Codex’s effort to save us all from "supposedly" dangerous food supplements.

If this Directive is not stopped, there will be only one medical world: the pharmaceutical world.

When this Codex project began in 2001, some 180 million protest letters reached their office, but Codex doesn’t give up on protecting us.

Now the fight is on in each country, because now Codex is now our problem as well.

In the US bill HR 4004 is before Congress. Known as the Health Freedom Bill.

In Canada we have an opportunity to save freedom of choice by supporting Bill C-420."

Natural Health Products at Risk... But New Private Member’s Bill Aims to Restore Freedom of Choice in NHPs (National Health Products)

by Dr. James Lunney, MP Member of Parliament for the Nanaimo - Alberta riding in Central Vancouver Island BC. He is a member of the Canadian Alliance. He was a Chiropractor for approx. 24 years before entering federal politics.

Natural health product regulations scheduled to come into force in early 2004.

They were crafted under the old Food and Drugs Act, without the legislative renewal that was promised.

Canadians were led to believe that NHPs would be considered by law as a third category; not food, not drugs.

The reality is that under the new regulations all natural health products will now be considered a subclass of drugs

...managed as food if no health claim

...drugs if there is a health claim

Mar. 20 2004 Dr. Lunney introduced the Private Member’s Bill C-420 to restore freedom of choice in personal health care.

Bill C-420 would place natural health products under the authority of a food directorate and would release the scientific information to allow Canadians to make informed decisions about their health care.

So it is important as you can see that each of you contacts your MP, the Minster of Health and the Prime Minister and insist that they do something about this.

The Minister of Health had been on record opposing this bill, but now supports it.

Jack Layton, MP Toronto-Danforth Leader NDP also supports (see Vitality April 2005)

Bill C-420 is now before the Standing Committee on Health.
