Thomas Jefferson in a letter to
Dr. Benjamin Rush wrote, "It behooves every man who values
liberty
of conscience for himself, to resist invasions of it in the
case of others: or their case may,
by change of circumstances, become his own."
All over our country, corporation-serving Congressmen and
Congresswomen are initiating bills that would decimate health
freedom by eradicating the Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act (DSHEA).
DSHEA is a law passed in 1994 that
classifies nutrients as food and prevents any upper limits on
nutritional supplements. Because of DSHEA and another law which
says the US cannot harmonize with any regulation which violates
US law, the anti-supplement policy of the US CODEX Office is
currently illegal (because CODEX would enforce upper
limits on nutrients and therefore goes against DSHEA). But if
DSHEA were eliminated, the anti-supplement policy of the US
CODEX Office would no longer be illegal. And our pending lawsuit
against the US CODEX Office would become meaningless.
We must keep DSHEA the law of our land!
There is a very good reason why the corporation-serving
Congressmen and Congresswomen are launching bills that would
decimate DSHEA. It's not because they care about "consumer
protection" or "health care". It's because as long as DSHEA
remains intact, CODEX ALIMENTARIUS' destructive Vitamin and
Mineral Guideline (ratified on July 4, 2005 in Rome) is barred
from practical implementation in the U.S. With DSHEA gone,
there would be virtually nothing to stop the anti-nutrient force
of CODEX ALIMENTARIUS short of a massive, forceful, cohesive
popular movement to drive back CODEX ALIMENTARIUS and
reinstitute DSHEA.
The corporations, especially big pharma, whom these Congressmen
and Congresswomen are serving, would be happy about the
elimination of DSHEA. This is because natural health products,
which DSHEA is protecting, causes people to turn away from
pharmaceutical drugs.
Not only would the bills proposed decimate DSHEA, but there are
simultaneous (and equally destructive) bills up for
Congressional approval in both houses that would give the
FDA
draconian powers to eliminate nutritional supplements from the
market. The funny thing is that the corporation-serving
Congresswomen and Congressmen who are driving these anti-health
freedom bills (and who deserve nothing less than to be swiftly
removed from office come election time), are supporting
tyrannical measures against safe nutritional supplements while
pharmaceutical drugs continue to kill hundreds of thousands of
Americans every year. And they are not making a peep about
drugs!
Their bills would grant hundreds of millions of dollars in
taxpayer money to the FDA to "regulate" nutritional supplements
(which are so safe that the hypocrisy of regulating and
restricting nutrients while allowing Vioxx back on the market
after it was proven to kill nearly two hundered thousand
Americans is a demonstration of sheer insanity, not
public service). The FDA, as you may be aware, is a rather sorry
story of unwholesome influence by special interests and
revolving door policies with pharmaceutical companies. Giving
the FDA the power to eliminate nutritional supplements from the
market is equivalent to giving the pharmaceutical industry the
power to eliminate nutritional supplements from the market:
this irresistible power would be used without missing a
heartbeat.
At HealthFreedomUSA.org, we are serious about protecting and
promoting health freedom. We are happy to have you by our side
as a concerned natural health proponent. Our job is to inform
you about what actions to take, and your job is to evaluate the
information we provide you and then take action if you see merit
in our calls to action.
It is time to take action on the anti-health freedom bills
explained above. Now is the time.
Please click over to this new page we've created and follow the
simple instructions to protest the 5 bills via the comfort of
the Internet. If you don't take action right now on these
bills along with the thousands of others who are getting this
email, CODEX ALIMENTARIUS would be given free reign to make the
pharmaceutical industry a fatter cat than it already is.
