We should get as much people as possible to participate.

Today, Senator McCain introduced a bill that if passed will require prescriptions for all nutrients. Contact your senators and congressmen and also contact McCain. This has already taken place in Europe where you need a prescription for just about any nutrient in any amount.

The Food Safety Bill That Would Make Us Less Safe
by James J. Gormley
October 7, 2009
According to the article, if this bill passes, it will:
">> Undermine DSHEA and move the U.S. one step closer to harmonizing our standards under Codex with those of restrictive regimes like the European Union. (DSHEA, or the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act, says that supplements are food and are safe for consumption unless proven otherwise - ensuring that millions of Americans are able to enjoy access to safe, effective and affordable dietary supplements).
>> Give the FDA inappropriate, and unprecedented, control over farms and direct-to-consumer distributors. If passed, the bills would charge facilities an annual $500 registration fee, require additional record keeping, and expand the FDA's authority to quarantine geographic areas for alleged food safety problems - all without significantly improving food safety.
>> Harm U.S. organic farmers by imposing overlapping regulations.
>> Hurt food supplements and health-food stores by imposing standards that are already covered by the AER (Adverse Event Reporting) Law, cGMPs (current Good Manufacturing Practices) and food facility registration.
>> Cripple local food co-ops, farm stands, independent ranchers and artisanal food producers by imposing unnecessary standards and unfair bureaucratic burdens...."

Codex Alimentarius Questions
Joyce (Joelton, Tn) on 09/13/2009
Would you financially be able to stay in business in if you had to keep the information contained within the state from whence it came? Is this the way they plan to destroy the internet? I was expecting it to arrive soon, but it just now occured to me that this could be the way they do it.
Now I wonder how they plan destroy our one source of information that I have come to trust? WND? It is internet. The bills they already have will cover health care help sites.
We might also want to alert these other health sites to the possibility and have them join in. I wonder if this question has even occurred to them? We need to get people awake and fast.

Regarding codex alimentarius, the site below seems to dispel any concerns....?

I was wondering if anyone out there who works in an industry that will be affected by this knows exactly what is going to happen at the end of 2009. Are many organisations going to be put out of business when this happens?
Authorities, who are apparently looking out for our health, are happy for us to go out and buy cigarettes, but are about to take away our freedom to buy vitamins legally! Is this really going to happen?
Anyway, my suggestion is to set up a page on Codex allowing people to share information and suggestions on other ways to obtain our illicit vitamins & minerals through food, herbs, nuts etc. I doubt that there's anything we can do to stop this. I signed a petition, but most people have never heard of Codex Alimentarius, and that is worrying!
Thanks folks.

Does anyone else of something we can do? Time is running out for vitamins, organic farming, organic foods, natural supplements, herbs, alternative medicine etc. In a few months they might be ILLEGAL.
Please advise.

12/14/2008: Ted from Bangkok writes, "...Anyway, I prefer to buy in bulk chemicals for a very good reason: the Codex Alimentarius, which stops the sale of all supplements and natural remedies begin on December 31, 2009. So you won't get any more supplements after this date. I haven't followed up Codex Alimentarius, but I do know their estimates for worldwide death is about 3 billion. 2 is from preventable disease like this one. It really helps to go to youtube and educate yourself this codex alimentarius"
I will be reading up on this. I wonder what Obama's position is on this. From the little I did read tonight, at the very least people must be made aware of what it would mean.
