Supplement Facists - at it again

Your right to choose what vitamins, minerals and other supplements you want to take may end in August, 2005. After August, U.S. supplements will be defined and controlled by the World Trade Organization (WTO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). Codex Alimentarius (stringent food/ supplement regulations) is setting the food and nutritional supplement standards for all countries in the WTO. Codex standards are to be enforced by the WTO and will supercede U.S. law. The U.S. president and Congress agreed to this take-over when the WTO treaty was signed. Violators of Codex and other WTO-sponsored international laws will be punished by WTO trade sanctions.

Codex standards, as currently enforced in Norway and Germany, caused the price of zinc tablets to rise from $4 per bottle to $52; echinacea, an herb used for immune system enhancement, rose from $14 per bottle of 100 capsules to $153. Both zinc and echinacea are only available by prescription since they are now classified as "drugs." Vitamin C above 200 mg, niacin above 32 mg, vitamin B6 above 4 mg are only available by prescription. Essential amino acids such as arginine, lysine, proline, and carnitine; essential fatty acids (such as omegas 3, 6 and 9) and other essential supplements such as DMEA, DHEA, CoQ10, MSM, beta-carotene, will NOT be available for purchase unless prescribed by a licensed physician. These Codex rules are not based on real science. They are regulations influenced by pharmaceutical giants who have used the Codex model to take control of vitamins and supplements in order to protect the lucrative pharmaceutical drug industry.

I've read that Fish Oil supplements have required a script in Canada for years. The Hippies in Seattle will rise up for this one. LOL...

omg!! is this shit for real??

**redspy** · 02-08-2005, 12:41 PM

It's amazing what you can do if you have deep pockets for lobbying like the Big Pharma companies. Never mind they're killing people with their own drugs....

**seven11** · 02-08-2005, 12:45 PM

i cant fucking belive this..... first they took away our ph's now we gonna have to stock up on damn multi's

**musclepump** · 02-08-2005, 01:36 PM

Wow this is scary. I don't want to have to stock up on ephedrine, fish oil, multi-vitamins, etc. because of bullsh*t beaurocracy.

Unbelievable.

This is only the beginning. Think about it. Vitamin C under 200mg will be legal but anything over will not. When the WTO figures out that people will simply buy large bottles of vitamin C at the lower dosage and then just take more pills at one time they'll simply ban all vitamins without a prescription. For our safety...

Well, hopefully the supplement company's will lobby hard enough to prevent anything from happening.

Hopefully. <crossing fingers>

Man.. FUCK THIS! What bullshit.. If this happens, I'll become a terrorist, and bomb the fucking pharma companys

**Luke9583** · 02-08-2005, 07:15 PM

I've been hearing about this for about a year now

Is it somebody that's in office pushing this? Somebody makes money from this.

**busyLivin** · 02-08-2005, 07:16 PM

From Codex's website, apparently the US strongly rejects their "guidelines." I really have a hard time believing the US would lie down to this. Even if the government did, the public wouldn't.

Maybe just my wishful thinking.
