Clock Ticking on Codex �Nutracide�

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) April 21, 2007 -- April 20, 2007 � The Codex Alimentarius is under review by the FDA until April 30, 2007 and open to public comment until then.

Experts in nutritional science have warned that the Codex Vitamin and Mineral Guideline, approved with strong US government support at the July 2005 Codex Alimentarius Commission meeting, is organized "Nutracide", capable of killing literally billions of people through institutionalized under-nutrition. Limiting effective, but harmless nutrients such as Vitamin C to super-low doses based on the premise that they are dangerous industrial chemicals, large dose to ward off the flu or beat a cold (or cure cancer) would be illegal substances like heroin. This is particularly ominous at a time when the threatened Avian Flu Pandemic, which kills by depleting Vitamin C so rapidly patients die of acute scurvey) makes clear how important high dose vitamin administration could be to save vast numbers of lives.

Rima E. Laibow, MD (Natural Solutions Foundation) and Ed Baumann, PhD (National Association of Nutrition Professionals) joined to point out that Codex Alimentarius "Vitamin and Mineral Guideline" (VMG) relies on "good science gone bad� (toxicology applied to non-toxic, essential substances to determine nutrient levels so low that they have no impact on any human being). Once implemented, VMG will mandate global under-nutrition leading to a huge upsurge in preventable, and nutritionally treatable, diseases of chronic under nutrition. These diseases can be prevented, treated and cured with adequate nutrition and detoxification (removal of toxins). The necessary nutrients, however, will be prohibited under the current Codex regulations.
Vitamins and other supplements which are not on the CODEX list of allowed items will become illegal. Those that are allowed are classified as toxins and must be limited to minuscule amounts. Additionally:
1. Codex Alimentarius requires that all meats, poultry, fish, fruit and vegetables
must be irradiated by Dec. 31, 2009.
2. Codex Alimentarius requires that all dairy cattle are to be given Monsanto
bovine growth hormone by Dec. 31, 2009.
3. Codex Alimentarius reclassifies vitamin and mineral supplements as toxins and

dramatically limits their dosage and availability.
4. In 2005 there were five bills submitted to Congress to weaken or eliminate
DSHEA, the 1994 law supporting access to supplementation and natural health
therapies.
Dr. Laibow, the Medical Director of the Natural Solutions has created a petition in support of the DSHEA and ongoing access to natural health care and supplementation at http://tinyurl.com/2u7ghc.
