Codex Alimentarius - Special Report
Transcript of Codex Alimentarius - Special Report

Codex Alimentarius (Latin for “food code”) is the proposed set of international guidelines for nutritional supplements, food handling, production, and trade which is now gradually being ratified in countries around the world, starting in the European Union (EU). Codex is a joint project of the United Nations (UN), World Health Organization (WHO), and the Food and Agricultural Organization (FAO).
The Purpose of Codex
The official “altruistic” purpose of Codex is to harmonize safety, trade, manufacture, and distribution of nutritional supplements and help save the world. The truth is that Codex is one more step toward total health tyranny.
Codex is made up of thousands of standards and guidelines. One of them, the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG), is designed to permit only ultra low doses of vitamins and minerals, essentially making supplements illegal. Vitamin C, for example, at any dosage
higher than two hundred milligrams per day will be illegal. A gram of Vitamin C will be an illegal substance! The dose of coenzyme Q10 which has been shown to resolve breast cancer in some patients (400 mg per day) will be illegal because coenzyme Q10 will be totally illegal at any dose following the European Supplements Directive model. Only a limited number of nutrients will be allowed, but the maximum upper limits have been set so low that they have little or no clinical impact in keeping us healthy and none at all in returning us to a state of health if we are ill. And those which are available will be exorbitantly priced. While the esoteric agenda of the media is busy driving fear into the hearts of the world by focusing on “terrorism” and food shortages, the real threats are secretly becoming a reality. It is quite possible that in the very near future, almost every single substance you eat or drink will be regulated by Codex.
Nutrition is Dangerous? One of the committees within Codex, the Codex Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (CCNFSDU), is chaired by Dr. Rolf Grossklaus, a German physician who believes that nutrition has no role in health.

Yes, the “top‐guy” for Codex nutritional policy has publicly declared that “nutrition is not relevant to health.” As crazy as it may sound, Dr. Grossklaus actually declared nutrients to be toxins in 1994.
Herbs are Dangerous?
Codex also stipulates which conditions may be treated using herbs. Only minor, self‐limited conditions may be treated by herbal means. Treating any other conditions with herbal remedies will constitute a crime.
Codex sets permissible upper limits for pesticide residues, toxic chemicals in the environment, hormones in food and other environmental contaminants which are many times higher than levels advocated by chemical and pesticide industry lobbying groups.
Current toxic levels are already responsible for most of the cancers, heart disease, autism, chronic degenerative conditions, and organ failures which are killing people at increasing rates around the globe. Making permissible toxic levels higher will accelerate this destructive world‐wide trend.
The Stockholm Convention, signed by 176 countries including the USA commits the signatories to eliminate world’s twelve most dangerous “persistent organic pollutants”
(POPs). Codex allows seven of the twelve agreed upon killer POPs to be used in the production of foods!! This is insane.
Mandatory “Food Nuking” & Secret GMO Foods
Codex makes irradiation of food legal and even required under certain circumstances. Under the guise of “protecting us from food borne illness,” the irradiation of food is by no means agreed to be a safe procedure since there is considerable scientific evidence that protein structures are modified in unhealthy ways by introducing ionizing radiation into food before it is consumed.
Codex makes the non‐labeled use of GMOs (genetically modified organisms) legal in all foods under all circumstances. Many GMOs have been genetically engineered so that seeds will not germinate without the use of specific pesticides. In fact, mounting scientific evidence makes it clear that birth defects, chemical sensitivity, chronic fatigue syndrome, asthma, severe allergies and a host of other conditions are caused by pesticide exposure (which these crops will require).
Not surprisingly, using their multi billion‐dollar marketing budgets, Big Pharma has launched a massive media propaganda campaign to paint Codex as a benevolent tool of “consumer protection,” as well as to

negatively taint the image of natural supple‐ ments and mislead people to fear them as “dangerous,” so they will take more drugs.
Zero Deaths from Supplements
What? Supplements are dangerous? Statistics from the U.S. National Poison Data System prove otherwise. According to the 2008 Annual Report of the American Association of Poison Control Centers, there was not one single death from nutritional supplements, vitamins, herbs, or amino acids. That's right ... ZERO deaths. If nutritional supplements are allegedly so “dangerous,” then where are the bodies?
Contrary to the propaganda you may have heard about Codex, it has nothing to do with consumer protection. Nothing! Codex is about protecting the cash cow ‐‐ prescription drugs. And here is the kicker – Codex is based in the Napoleonic Code, not Common Law. That means that under Codex, anything not explicitly permitted is forbidden. Under Common Law, we hold that anything not explicitly forbidden is permitted. The difference is the difference between health freedom and health tyranny!
DSHEA Protection
The Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) is a United States law
classifying our supplements and herbs as foods (which can have no upper limit set on their use) and was passed by unanimous Congressional consent in 1994. DSHEA is the only law which currently protects us from Codex’s deadly VMG.
But DSHEA is under significant legislative attack right now, especially in light of Senator John McCain’s latest effort to squelch our health freedom with the “Dietary Supplement Safety Act” (DSSA). But don't be fooled by the name! Much like the term “Federal Reserve” (which is neither “Federal” nor do they actually have any “reserves”), the name is meant to mislead Americans.
This horrific bill is not designed to provide “safety” but is actually designed to end your access to high potency supplements by giving the corrupt FDA the power to regulate our access to nutritional supplements. This bill would repeal key sections of the DSHEA.
It’s All About Money, Power, & Control
Codex is nothing more than Big Pharma’s worldwide “control” agenda (as well as a genocide agenda). It is an enormous assault on humanity and health freedom. Sadly, much of the “dumbed down” populace sees it as a “good thing” that the benevolent

government “cares enough to protect us.” You know the old saying, “a nation of sheep results in a government of wolves.”
We are witnessing the end of America as a nation‐state right now, and with these changes, none of our domestic laws or constitutional rights are secure. All of our laws and institutions of government are subject to “harmonization” to international standards. Globalization is right around the corner…
We are facing a frightening future, not to mention the fact that children born after 1990 have no clue about their food, water, vaccinations, or anything else. It's by design. We are being slowly “starved to death” from lack of nutrition. This too is by design... irradiated food, pasteurized milk and juice, viruses sprayed on our meat, chemicals sprayed on fruit and vegetables, now we're being forced without our consent to eat genetically modified foods.
What Can We Do?
I suggest that you write your Congressman and let them know that if they ever vote against your health freedom, that you will
vote them out of office. Tell your representatives that you want to make sure that DSHEA is vigorously protected here in the USA and that you expect to continue to have access to any kind of dietary supplement that you wish at any potency and level of dosage.
If we are to retain our health freedom, then we must fight by spreading this information to everyone you know. It does not matter whether they are still asleep or hypnotized or too busy to pay attention. The time to wake up is now.
The corrupt U.S. government and the controlled media sellouts have been trying to distract America while all these atrocious and mandatory food standards are clandestinely passed. The slower the process takes, the less alarmed people will be. That’s almost certainly the logic of the architects of Codex Alimentarius.
Dr. Rima Laibow, MD, who is the medical director for Natural Solutions Foundation, has undertaken legal action against the U.S. government and continues to attend every Codex meeting while fighting for your health freedom.
