Dear Friends,
I hope this newsletter finds you well and enjoying the spiritual and physical renewal of spring.
This is not going to be one of those warm and fuzzy newsletters. I apologize in advance for its alarming tone but this is vital information that we must know. It effects the whole world and we are being spoon fed bits and pieces of information and misinformation to lull us into submission.
Codex Alimentarius…Chances are you have never heard of it. Don’t feel too bad; chances are your Congressperson or Representative hasn’t either. The literal translation is “Food Code”. Codex was started in 1962 by the U.N. as a commission to control the trade of food worldwide. Arguably it was started with good intensions, but has since been corrupted by the powerful chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries. These influences are threatening our right to clean food and alternative healthcare.
Most countries have already succumbed to the Codex/World Trade Organization’s treaty. If the United States lies down and become Codex compliant, we will NOT be able to buy vitamins of therapeutic potency. They will be so diluted that they will be useless. As a matter of fact vitamins will be regarded virtually the same as toxins; using the same “Risk Assessment” formula to limit our intake of them. Vitamins are the building blocks of life but with a little misinformation mixed with junk science and some malevolent scheming; they become toxins.
We all know how well misinformation works. Remember that ephedra [ma huang] was banned in 2004 because it caused 9 deaths in 10 years? The FDA push was so great that laws had to be changed so that they could PROTECT us from this dangerous herb that had fewer side effects than aspirin. But where is the public outrage over the 400 deaths per year from synthetic aspirin or the 1,000 deaths per year from acetaminophen [Tylenol]? Mix those household, over the counter drugs with other common drugs such as NSAID’s and the death rates skyrocket.
Luckily the ephedra ban was lifted in 2005 due to the work of vigilant and informed citizens and a judge who held the FDA to their own standards.
We will not have the option of turning back and correcting a mistake if we become Codex compliant because we will be forfeiting our sovereignty. Codex wants to make their standards worldwide and calls it “HARMonization.” In reality this treaty is the point of no return.
It is not just vitamins in the line of fire; it is herbal therapy, dietary therapy and the ability to buy pure organic food. All animals raised for food will be required to receive growth hormones and antibiotics. This is an assault on our immune systems. The only way you will be able to treat an autoimmune disorder is by suppressing the immune system with allopathic drugs. This is serious business friends. Though we are on the slippery slope, it is not too late for us in the US as it is for Austria, Switzerland, France, Australia and many more Codex compliant countries.
WAKE UP…WAKE UP! And smell the pesticide treated, biochemically engineered coffee brewing.
Dr Rima Laibow who left her successful practice to fight the Codex “takeover” and exploit its weaknesses.
Also I would like to encourage you to support your local organic farms. They are our salvation but alas, they are David fighting Goliath. A very wise farmer who farms just down the road told me about this wonderful website and she asked me to pass it along to you so that you can locate organic farmers near you. www.localharvest.org
Live well; Love well and seek truth.
Love and Light, Lori Jacobs
