WHO, TGA/FD(Favors Drugs Always)

Posted by LINDA FFE on May 22, 2003 at 08:55:58:

Below is a short quote from a medical journalist in Sydney:-

""The guidelines include the setting of recommended daily intake (RDI) levels of supplements, which are set so low as to make therapeutic doses or prophylactic doses of supplements impossible and technically illegal.
>Iceland, Sweden, Norway and Denmark have already harmonised to step 5.
Once harmonised, the codex recommendation' becomes enshrined in that country's statutes and laws are strictly observed. One Scandinavian vitamin supplier was chased by the federal police for supplying vitamin C tablets that
exceeded 200 mg. The amount of vitamin C contained in three oranges had made this man a criminal.
Canada has recently harmonised with Codex, with its regulator withdrawing nearly half of the stocks in health food stores overnight. Possession of one popular supplement DHEA in Canada now attracts the same penalties as crack cocaine. The Canadian regulator is empowered to classify any substance as a drug and it makes no difference if that substance is a food that has been consumed for millions of years and is perfectly safe. That product can be recalled or removed from the market.""

The whole article come to me from sepp@lastrega.com who sends out some very interesting news.. It's well worth being on his mailing list.

I'm afraid it appears plain to me that the time for moderate action has passed. Sadly I know of only one person who'd contemplate more drasric action.

I don't think that even activities such as the GREENIES & ANTIGLOBALISATIONERS practice would change things at this stage.

I think we have passed the stage that Germany reached in 1933, Where the ruling government is certain that more government is the way to go.

This is great news for civil servants, who if questioned can answer truthfully "I'm just implimenting the law" or "merely following orders"...

Guess which recent US president said:-
"government is not the solution to our problem, GOVERNMENT IS THE PROBLEM"

kind regards

Thanks, Linda.

It really is sad that the public is just standing by and letting this happen to all of us. Drastic action still might save us but the hour is late.

What is the matter with people?

Namaste`

Walt
