Subject: Fwd: Urgent Message Please Review and Respond Immediately Date: Tue, 28 Oct 1997 09:23:43 -0800 (PST) From: Steve Guich <sguich@brains.bic.uci.edu> To: Undisclosed recipients:; ***************************** | Steven M. Guich, PhD. | | Brain Imaging Center | | UC Irvine | | sguich@brains.bic.uci.edu | ***************************** PLEASE SEND THIS EVERYWHERE YOU CAN. MEDIA: Please cover this immediately! Please have Dr. Wright on your daytime and evening shows ASAP. If anyone has Michael Reagan's mail site, please advise him. And any others you may know throughout the nation. --------- Begin forwarded message ---------- Hello, Please read the attached information. We have only a very short period of time to protect our freedom to buy vitamins and other supplements. Please direct this mail to everyone you can think of ASAP! It concerns the right to use vitamin supplements and therapeutic dosages of herbal remedies, food supplements and generally all forms of healing methods based on non-pharmaceutical approaches! It is NO JOKE. We are about to lose our hard won health freedoms RIGHT NOW. This message has been updated 10/21/97. YOU MAY LOSE THE RIGHT TO YOUR VITAMINS, HERBS, AND OTHER SUPPLEMENTS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS!!! An insidious bill, called the CODEX LAW or CODEX ALIMENTARIUS, has already been sneaked through both the Senate and the House of Representatives in record time. It has been passed by both houses. The Codex is a nutrition code to set worldwide standards for foods, drugs, pesticides and their trade. The latest German proposal includes the following provisions: 1. No vitamin, mineral, herb or food supplement can be sold for preventative or therapeutic use. 2. None sold as a food can exceed dosage levels set by the Commission. For example, 50 mg of vitamin C is the top dosage sold in Germany today. 3. CODEX regulations for dietary supplements would become legally binding in the USA through the GATT Treaty, which would involve enormous fines in America if we did not comply. 4. All new dietary supplements will be banned unless they pass the CODEX approval process. You can imagine what that means. The wording in the Congressional Bill uses the term "harmonization" which means that most senators and congresspersons are likely not aware of the implications. The delegates that make up and decide on the CODEX mandates are made up of 90% of the giant Multi-national Pharmaceutical corporations. The drug companies want to monopolize and create pharmaceutical versions of the Natural healthfood and nutrient business throughout the world. An example of the consequences: possession of DHEA is now a felony in Canada with the same penalty as that for possession of drugs. You could go to jail for having DHEA in your house. You have LESS THAN 10 DAYS to save your vitamins! The latest development as of 10/18/97 is that the House and Senate are now voting on a 3rd merged version of the Codex Bill. (The House Companion Bill). What you need to do now is very simple. 1. First, pick up your phone and call 1-800-972-3524. This is the Congressional switchboard. Leave a message for your Senators AND your Representatives. Request that the Harmonization Language in the FDA Reform Bill be amended when it goes to the Conference Committee. State that you oppose to Codex Bill and any attempt to regulate nutritional supplements as drugs. This committee, as far as we know, will be meeting THIS WEEK, the week of 10/21. Also state that you request a public comments period concerning the harmonization agreements. 2. Please telephone, fax, and email everyone you can think of. Make a phone tree. Email everyone on your list. Send them this information and ask them to make calls as well. To stay updated on what to do, email Jham@concentric.net and request to be put in his distribution list. Or, call John Hammel at 1-800-333-2553 for a recorded message. (I believe this is the correct email address. Try all lower case if it doesn't work . The address is given in John's phone message.) - Monte ------------------------------------------------------------------ I have sworn upon the altar of Almighty God eternal hostility against every form of tyranny over the mind of man. - Thomas Jefferson ------------------------------------------------------------------ The Idaho Observer http://www.proliberty.com/observer ----------------- End Forwarded Message ----------------- 639 Whispering Hills Road, Suite 219 Boone, North Carolina 28607 USA Tel.: 704-265-0023 Fax: 704-265-0473 > > Email: wcrist@boone.net-- END included message
