HEALTH FREEDOM
versus CODEX
The
Fight For Your Life |
|
 Are you worried about CODEX?
For too long, the fear that the Codex Alimentarius Commission is going to restrict our access to dietary supplements has been looming.
A Bill entitled, "The CODEX Guidelines Vitamins and Minerals Rejection and Dietary Supplement International Protection Act of 2009" and will soon be introduced in the United States Congress.
We need your support to get this bill passed.
This bill does four things:
- Officially rejects the 2005 Guidelines on Vitamins and Mineral Food Supplements adopted by the Codex Alimentarius Commission and bars government officials from promoting them.
- Requires U.S. government representatives in international forums to energetically promote the principals of existing U.S. law (which include the 1976 Proxmire Amendment and the 1994 Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994).
- Proves a technical correction to FDA's Code of Federal Regulations (21 CFR 130.6) dealing with the review and adoption of CODEX Guidelines by requiring Congressional mandate to modify any laws dealing with dietary supplement regulations.
- Requires improved transparency and accountability into the U.S. CODEX activity by requiring transcripts to be taken and published in their un-redacted form on the US CODEX website in a timely manner and the submission to Congress of an annual report.
Congress has always supported the will of the people in protecting dietary supplement access. In fact, in 1997, Congress thought they had resolved all international harmonization issues involving dietary supplement in Section 410 of the Food and Drug Administration Modernization Act. However, the FDA failed to modify their Code of Federal Regulations to include this 1997 provision. Therefore, this legislation is needed to prove this technical correction.
We need your help!
The CODEX Alimentarius Commission was organized as a joint activity of two United Nations Organizations (The FAO and WHO) more than 40 years ago to promote improved food trade, i.e. that the foods shipped and sold between countries would be clean, free of dangerous pesticides, and properly labeled. Many feel there venture into the development of setting guidelines for vitamins and minerals food supplements that focused on potency rather than quality control was outside of their mission. These guidelines do not conform to existing U.S. law and should not be adopted. A thorough review of CODEX and the possibility of adoption in the United States uncovered a technical correction that is needed to insure that the United States Government by the Request of the United States Congress officially rejects the 2005 Guidelines, and that going forward, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) will be required to present any dietary supplement issues to the Congress for consideration.
We need to get 100,000 signatures as soon as possible. PLEASE send this to everybody that you know - Friends, Family, Downline - and join our fight for YOUR HEALTH FREEDOM.
Most of us have sat by and believed our Health Freedom is somewhat secure. This is not the case and we are in the last mile. Codex is real and will affect all of us sooner than we can imagine. Do not delay your actions and support until December, 2009. Your natural health business, your freedom, AND your life depends upon it!
