Gagging Order Imposed On Probiotics – More Nutrients and Supplements Soon To Follow

Paul Alder Posted 22/10/2009

I just finished reading all the articles you've posted recently about Codex and everything else that is going on and it looks as if almost all of these 'gagging orders' and restrictions on alternative medicine practitioners etc are related. I also saw that the FDA in the US gave Dr.Weill (a guy with a brilliant website on natural healing and products) a warning for just mentioning that certain products (like Astragalus) can help prevent and treat Swine Flu. This is ridiculous!!! Are we all going to become sheeple? We're being led to the slaughterhouse by the very people we've put in power to protect us! What good can come from all of this?

If only they were so strict about all the highly toxic pharmaceutical drugs. Herbs heal, not harm. They are natural products that integrate well in our bodies, helping it to heal itself. Unlike the unnatural chemicals produced by the pharmaceutical companies, that interfere with all the bodies natural functions, mask the symptoms of disease & drive the problems deeper into the body, resulting in further problems in the future.

The World Trade Organisation, and the World Health Organisation, entwined with codex, should become accountable, and accept the the wishes of the majority of people, to have Free access to alternative medicine. And to not allow the pharmaceutical cartels to take control of our life, using force and coersion to satisfie thier own Corporate Greed. This is a time for you to show how much you care for the People of the World.

As an ex-registered pharmacist I feel that it is anyones right to choose the path to good health from whatever source they think suits them best. There is sufficient health informtion available from a variety of sources so that a sound judgement can be made. The search for higher profit is not always the best choice. Let it be remembered that until the 20th century there was little or no formal medical knowledge and although this has changed, not always for the better, these older ways have a wealth of practice to call upon which should not be ignored but utilised.

Do not discard thousands of years of wisdom and ancient teachings at the behest of ignorant officials!

I have been a user of vitamin supplements and have a right to continue obtaining these supplements at the doses I prefer. I will use the internet to obtain a supply if necessary, but this is putting myself at risk of unsafe sources, which is the opposite of the effect intended by the Codex. I expect that many people will do the same.

Over 250000 people are killed in UK by prescribed drugs every year None are killed by herbal remedies Why stop these & not the killers

I have prostate cancer, My PSA tests increased by 0.1 per month, until I started taking large doses of Lycopene, pomegranate, selenium, Co Q10 etc. It is now down to less than 0.1 per year.

Catherine Grout Posted 22/10/2009

This must not be allowed to happen! I cured my cancer with vegetable juicing 11 years ago and continue to be well BECAUSE my diet is rich in organic, nutrient rich vegetables and some vital supplements. If supplements are considered dangerous, what about chemotherapy and radiotherapy? If normal food is to be irradiated/ nuked to death, what do you think will happen to us? If this is allowed to get through, our future is one of disease and control by the pharmaceutical industry. Who wants to live like a zombie? NOT ME, NOT YOU, NOT ANYONE WITH AN OUNCE OF COMMON SENSE!

I would like to know just why Brown and the UK government generally are quite so keen to introduce these sinister and damaging restrictions on our freedom to choose, despite the very clear contrary view clearly expressed by the citizens of this country. The alternatives appear to be manipulation of technically illiterate politicians by agents of multinationals with interests in food adulteration and increased incidence of disease, or the generosity of such parties to those who actively support their interests. Neither presents a very appealing picture.

The codex alimentarius is based on innaccurate information provided by drug companies and their adherants. Its latin name is an attempt to give spurious legitimacy to a plan designed to create more profit for the drug companies under the guise of protecting our health. The current prescription of orthodox drugs is too often a lottery and unacknowledged field trials carried out under the name of treatment. Extracts from Mimms should be serialised in the daily press to make people aware off side iatrogenic effects and conditions

William Posted 22/10/2009

why,oh,why must these interfering menaces think they have a right to regulate our freedom of choice in health matters ? The corporate giants who pull their strings, and care only about profit ,and nothing for decency, or the life and death of innocents, are of course the driving force behind this interfering. As for our gutless politicians,who do nothing to prevent the wrongs and curb the evil intent ---- words are nowhere near adequate !!!!!!!!!

Ruth Tomlinson Posted 22/10/2009

I just cannot see that there can be any justification in the men in grey suits meddling with my choice of keeping healthy. I can foresee this having repercussions in a wider field.

Alberto Cellini Posted 22/10/2009

Actually any eventual vitamin restriction is a major violation of human rights, vitamins are "nutriments" so no one has the right to suspend this as no one has the right to suspend the right of feeding oneself, I mean this is outrageous. we must not allow these people to make any restrictions

I have a number of auto-immune conditions, including type 1 diabete. It is very important for me to manage my health with vitamins and minerals bought from a variety of outlets. I would not be as well without this freedom.

People should have the choice between natural bio-remedies and synthetic pharmaceuticals

S Riding Posted 22/10/2009

I oppose the Codex Alimentarius - and any other proposals that would seek to prevent me from exercising my own judgement with regard to managing my own health.

Madelein Posted 22/10/2009

These complementary therapies have been tested and used for centuries on humans with incredible results and rarely any side effects and even more rarely any deaths. Modern drugs are tested on animals and almost always have side effects and cause hundreds of deaths each year. the answer is a no-brainer: promote complementary therapies MORE and abandon any thought of banning them. We have a democratic and human right to choice of treatment. Remove that and we are back in the days of the Nazis.

Back Off, Big Pharma! I am leaving this country because of the crazy ongoing infringements of my freedoms through excessive regulation. I will bring my herbal skills to more favourable climes!

Nathan Posted 22/10/2009

I take supplements such as Co-enzyme CQ10 as I had a Coronary Artery Bypass Graft in 1995. I find it ridiculous that my General Practitioner has never heard of CQ10 when the body produces it, and the statins you propose to put us all on reduces the production of it. WHO REGULATES THE REGULATORS ??

Julia Posted 22/10/2009

Some of us depend on high-dose supplements for our health and well-being. It would be tragic if access were taken away from us.

Lydia Posted 23/10/2009

I have used many natural supplements, homeopathy, herbs and accupuncture over the years for myself and my family with great success and not one incidence of side effects. The same cannot be said about any of the prescription drugs we have been issued over the years. I have a right to side effect free natural healthcare. Keep your hands off!!

Patrick Lowe Posted 23/10/2009

let us take responsibility for our own use of micronutrients. there are hardly any cases of poisoning or excessive use of these nutrients. There are so many studies supporting the use of most of them that discounting them all is outrageous.

Naomi Slater Posted 23/10/2009

I would like the right to make my own decisions as to what is good for me. There is no restriction on the amount of processed junk food I can buy so why restrict my ability to buy natural supplements?

Miriam Howard Posted 23/10/2009

I feel very strongly about this and feel that it will stop people being healthy and looking after their own health, being subjected more and more to the mercy of doctors with their offers of harmful drugs.

Linda Miller Posted 23/10/2009

It it important for us to be able to make our own decisions on matters of health, not have regulations in place that will deny us this freedom of choice. I want to be able to choose my own health care regime in concert with my medical practitioners, not be stymied by rules and regulations made by governmental bodies! Thank you for reading this and making a wise decisions.

Derek Lovett Posted 23/10/2009

Eight years ago I felt that prescription drugs were draining the life out of me. In desperation I turned to Traditional Chinese Medicine. I can honestly say that my health has improved immeasurably. Please do all you can to protect our right to choose natural health remedies.

The proposed limiting of dosages for vitamins and minerals is a disgrace. This is made even worse by the setting of RDA values to be so low as to be almost useless. Many people are confused about RDAs and think that they are the maximum safe dose. I believe that for all vitamins and minerals on sale, the maximum safe dose value should be given in addition to the RDA.

Margaret Coomes Posted 23/10/2009

If the nutrient content of supplements are reduced to a non benificial level, people will order from the internet. Someone will catch on to this ready market and this will expose us to to unscrupulous and dangerous products. If there is to be regulation let it be to standardise products and ensure that the ingredients stated on the label are actually in the product.

This is about KILLING US; literally

WE NEED to fight this all the way. Get every doctor possible(good ones involved), every vitamin company etc

WE CAN FIGHT THIS
