Codex Alimentarius - The Silent Stalker Of Your Health Freedom
Codex Agenda Only low-potency, "me too" supplements available that will do nothing for your health. All or most foods genetically-modified. Beneficial supplements unavailable or sold by prescription only. All Coming to You in the Future, if Codex Has its Way. Educate & Empower Yourself About Codex - Protect Your Health And That Of Your Loved Ones What Is Codex? Codex Alimentarius is Latin for "Food Code." The Codex Alimentarius Commission, based in Rome, Italy, and created in 1963, is an international organization jointly run by the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO) of the United Nations. One of its 27 committees, the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Use (CCNFSDU) is responsible for Dietary Supplements and Special Foods. The CCNFSDU meets once yearly in Germany (its host country) and the National Health Federation is the only health-freedom group that is a Codex-recognized organization with the right to attend and speak out at these meetings. Codex's published goals are to develop and adopt uniform food standards for its member countries and to promote the free and unhindered international flow of food goods, thereby eliminating trade barriers to food and providing food safety. How does it affect the health of U.S. and other Citizens? Unfortunately, implementation of this goal has headed in the wrong direction. Why? Because, among other reasons:
The U.S. FDA despises the 1994 DSHEA Act - which, by removing the FDA's arbitrary enforcement powers, has protected our rights to healthy food supplements. Unfortunately, as a cozy friend of the drug companies and with an anti-supplement mentality, the FDA has acted to suppress supplements in favour of drugs instead. The FDA knows that it is politically difficult to attack DSHEA directly, so it and its allies try indirectly to eliminate DSHEA by having supplements treated as drugs rather than as foods. The FDA is using harsh and restrictive Codex guidelines and other international, anti-health harmonization rules and regulations as one way to undermine DSHEA. The NHF has been monitoring Codex meetings since the mid-1990s and actually present at these meeting s since 2000. Having recognized the threat early on, the NHF obtained official Codex-recognized status as an INGO (International non-governmental organization), which allows the NHF the right to speak out for health-freedom at these Codex meetings and against this U.S. FDA and Codex agenda. No other health-freedom organization has such status, so the NHF is unique in this respect and the lone non-governmental voice at Codex for health freedom. What can you do to help fight for our health freedoms? Be persistently vocal and contact your legislators to complain about the lack of representation by the FDA and Dr. Barbara Schneeman at Codex meetings. Remember, politicians do not see the light, they feel the heat. Write your clearly stated concerns, then call, e-mail, and also fax, use every approach. If you reside in their district, they will listen to you, as they want your vote and your money. Write letters to the editor, educate friends and co-workers. It must be a grass-roots effort to save our country as history has shown that we cannot expect politicians and bureaucrats to do it for us. To further educate yourself on Codex: Visit www.thenhf.com.

Help the NHF conquer the Codex Grip, don't wait until it's too late. Know Your Enemy And What You Can Do To Fight Back About the National Health Federation: Established in 1955, the National Health Federation is a consumer-education, health-freedom organization working to protect individuals' rights to choose to consume healthy food, take supplements and use alternative therapies without government restrictions. With consumer members all over the world, and a Board of Governors and Advisory Board containing representatives from 6 different countries, the Federation is unique is being the only consumer health freedom organization in the world to enjoy official observer status with the Codex Alimentarius Commission. UK Petition We the undersigned petition the Prime Minister to oppose the adoption of the Codex Alimentarius (WHO/UN) proposals for restriction of the presently freely available herb/vitamin/mineral food supplements. The principle of self medication with herbal/vitamin/mineral food supplements would be restricted to 'prescription only' status, if the Codex Alimentarius is applied in this country. Since the NHS priorities are ill health diagnosis and treatment, the good health preservation that supplements provide will be inaccessible to the majority of our population and the cost to the NHS will increase, and the health of the population will decline.
