I had originally wrote this as a thread on my forums but I think its something everyone should read and take notice of. After all its something that could greatly effect us all sooner then we think.
Codex Alimentarius-Operation Cure All
Codex Alimentarius-The Big Evil:
Codex Alimentarius can be described as a shady and secretive organization which is often the propaganda arm of the pharmaceutical industry and does everything possible within its power to allow the medicine industry to reap profits without really promoting health supplements and alternate cures which are actually helpful for the general public. It also tries to limit your access to nutritional products and information and its only motto is to ensure that the pharmaceutical industry generates sizable profits without fail. In order to execute its tasks to perfection, Codex makes use of its political as well as financial wealth without any kind of remorse. In a nutshell, it is a ruthless organization.
What Is The Real Truth Behind Codex Amimentarius?
Haven’t you ever tried to find out why a nation which swears by its freedom of speech, liberty, freedom of choice and freedom of expression is facing such severe restrictions while deciding upon their choice of health as well as the choice of dietary supplements? Why are we unable to enjoy the freedom granted to us as per the Dietary Supplement Health Education Act 1994? Although the government did try to help us but the FDA as well as the FTC have always tried and found ways and means to arm twist the existing law in their own favour. It is evident that the laws that have been placed for our protection are not being followed as they are supposed to be. Codex Amimentarius stands for a standard ‘food code’, which in turn is a set of regulations which are aimed at curbing any information pertaining to health supplements.
Who Backs Codex Amimentarius?
Backing Codex Amimentarius is the United Nations, the World Health Organization, the international pharmaceutical industry as well as major international banks. In the initial stages, its efforts to enter USA by collaborating with the FDA were defeated; hence it sought a partner in FTC. Now, backed with the pharmaceutical cartel, the FTC as well as the major banks, Codex is threatening to transform into a major trade issue and is using the campaign ‘Operation Cure Alls’ to advance in its goals. It began simply with the UN in a bid to develop a uniform food code. Its main purpose was to harmonize regulations with regards to dietary supplements and it is also involved in setting safety standards in a bid to increase trade. But when the pharmaceutical industries stepped in, Codex stopped focusing on the food safety and began exerting its influence in trying to ban the use of vitamins and food supplements throughout the world.
The Actual Goals of Codex:
The actual goal of Codex is to establish standard regulations pertaining to the manufacture as well as the sale of food supplements. Their main aim is to outlaw dietary supplement which do not meet their criteria. The laws are independent and they can supersede the American food regulatory laws as well and when that happens the citizens have no say at all.
Is This True?
Well, this is true for as per the Uruguay Round Agreements, the United States is required to harmonize with the existing international standards. “Members are fully responsible under this Agreement for the observance of all provisions…. members shall formulate and implement positive measures and mechanisms in support of the observance of the provisions…. by other than central government bodies.” [WTO TBT Agreement at Article 3.5]”
What Can Codex Do?
Codex can do a lot of damage if it is allowed to exercise its rights in an independent manner. Here are a few things it does
·The sale of dietary supplements cannot be sold for therapeutic use
·The potencies of supplements are to be limited to extremely low doses.
· For anything which is above the extremely low potencies-the permissible level, the need for prescriptions would be imperative.
·Food items such as garlic and even peppermint would be considered as drugs and only big pharmaceutical companies would have the exclusive right to market them.
· The regulations for dietary supplements are binding and the regulations of Codex are fairly difficult to follow.
·Unless and until a new supplement has undergone an then passed Codex testing, it would be automatically banned and never allowed to enter the market.
·The testing standards of Codex are very stringent and often biased in their approach.
· Food items which are genetically altered would be permitted to be sold throughout the world without the need for labelling.
The Drawback of Codex:
If Codex is allowed to function in the United States health supplement market then amino acids, herbs, minerals, homeopathic medications and all sorts of natural cures which you have often considered as a part of your daily life would be snatched from your grasp. The main aim of Codex is to simply shift all the supplements which fall under health related remedies into prescription drugs and once that happens, you would never find a single body building supplement available in the market. Those that are available would require you to get hold of a doctor’s prescription. All the natural food supplements would be handed over to the pharmaceutical department and this in turn would give rise to the concept of medical monopoly. The proposal of Codex has been running in Germany as well as Norway and there it has changed the face of the entire supplement industry. In these countries, the health food supplement industries have been literally overrun by leading drug organizations. For example, if you were to purchase Vitamin C over 200mg, then it is considered to be an illegal transaction. Even Vitamin B1, if taken above 2.4 mg is considered to be illegal. A Norway based pharmaceutical company Shering-Plough has exclusive rights to sell numerous herbs and supplements such as Echinacea tincture, which now is being sold at an exorbitant price. Similarly, the drug company has exclusive rights to import and then sell food supplements in the numerous health stores and pharmacies as well as convenience stores.
Why Only the Internet?
One of the main reasons why Codex decided to target the internet firms was because this was the simplest and the easiest battle which could have been won by an unscrupulous organization. The FDA as well as the FTC was clearly aware that the internet has revolutionized the word trade and now people can order anything what they desire, right from a pin to an airplane by simply clicking a mouse button. When the sale of health food supplements started to rise, the authorities got worried as the overall sales of the drug companies hit an all time low. This prompted the FDA as well as the FTC to join hands and initiate a campaign by which they could put a complete stop on the sale of health supplements via the World Wide Web. Hence they initiated a campaign called Operation Cure All.
Supplements -The Big Problem?
We all love the sport of bodybuilding and the perfect example of all time classic bodybuilders is the present Californian governor Arnold Schwarzenegger. In order to build our bodies, we need to ensure that our dietary intake is well taken care of. While the dietary intake of a normal human being involves the inclusion of minerals, vitamins, carbohydrates, fats and proteins, a seasoned athlete or a professional bodybuilder too needs the same nutrients on a regular basis to first build and then further develop his muscle groups. The need for supplements is such that a serious bodybuilder often uses them to try and build his/her muscles in such a manner that they resemble a chiselled Roman God and when that need arises, the requirement for bodybuilding supplements touches the skies. Bodybuilders have always been using supplements to enhance and then further develop their muscle groups and this in turn has led the supplement industry to grow by leaps and bounds. Unfortunately, there is a proposal brewing in the background after which the chances are that the supplement industry would no longer be the same again. In fact, insiders are of the opinion that the FDA as well as the FTC are trying to put stringent sanctions on the sale and purchase of dietary supplements including anabolic steroids-isn’t that
Is It Right To Ban Supplements?
Supplements have been in use ever since athletes decided to turn professional and earn a living by enhancing their true potential; nonetheless, the abuse of supplements has led to the government considering a ban on the sale as well as the distribution of dietary supplements. Although, there cannot be a complete ban on body building supplements, nonetheless, the liberty which muscle enhancing drugs enjoyed at one point in time may not be the same again. So, it is right on the part of the government, with special regards to the FDA and the FTC, to impose stringent regulations on the use and supply of body building supplements? Well, the answer to this question is a big NO! The reason why stringent action pertaining to the use as well as the so called ‘abuse’ of body building supplements is not right is because it is a direct threat to the very freedom of serious athletes who aspire to improve their performance by using natural supplements. At the same time, an individual has the constitutional right to consume as well as produce a dietary supplement as long as it is not in any ways harmful for the end user. It should also fit into the existing social as well as legal norms. Let alone freedom of expression, aspiring bodybuilders would be unable to compete in professional events and they would never be able to develop bodies that are capable of being termed as ‘Muscular Physiques’. Isn’t that a bit too harsh for the aspiring bodybuilder? It definitely is heartbreaking for aspiring bodybuilders and the proposed law should be stopped from being passed at all costs.
Should America Permit The Ban Of Supplements, Herbs and Natural Healing Aids?
It has come to our notice that the American FDA plans to sanction a new law which would allow them to have complete control over the manufacturing, sale as well as purchase of holistic healing products and natural as well as organic supplements. Also known as ‘Docket No 2006D-0480’, this document is a draft guidance which is based on the theme that the market which deals with the manufacturing as well as the distribution of affordable holistic alternatives needs to be reformed as per the guidelines laid down by the American FDA. As many of us may already be aware, the attitude of the FDA towards the use of alternative health options is not positive. Hence, if this law is allowed to pass then we may never be able to use most, if not all, of the body building supplements that are readily available online. This is because FDA would most probably try and wipe out most of the affordable holistic alternatives from the health supplement niche. The approach of FDA is ridiculous and it can also be considered as intrusive. If this law is passed then even a simple and all natural glass of ‘carrot juice’ would be termed a ‘harmful drug’ which requires a medical prescription. At the same time, even a bottle of water which we usually use of dehydrating our bodies would be considered a harmful drug. At the same time, exercise essentials such as exercise mats, massage oils and even a cup of green tea would be policed unfairly and its use restricted to a great extent. How would you exercise then-in the absence of exercise mats and gym equipment-is it possible to develop a fit and healthy body? I guess it would be an impossible task.
The question now arises whether we (the American public) should allow such an act to be passed in the first place?
Well, of course you are well aware that this act is unacceptable but what can you do to stop this from happening? Well, to stop this act from being passed, you need to sign petitions and send your opinion to the FDA, as they do accept written and signed petitions from the general public. These application forms are available till April 30th, after which the act would become a rule. So, if you care about the freedom of consumers, then you need to try and make an effort on your part. You need to ACT now and you can do this by simply making your voice heard.

What Is Operation Cure All?
Operation Cure is a seemingly disturbing proposal which was initiated by the government authorities FDA as well as the FTC. The main purpose of Operation Cure is to put a leash on the thriving online supplements industry, with special regards to the health and fitness segment. But the fact remains that this is an unscrupulous proposal, which if converted into a full fledged act would create lots of problems for both the aspiring athletes (including bodybuilders) as well as individuals who are involved in the health supplement manufacturing industry. Apparently, this is a ridiculous suggestion on the part of FDA as well as the FTC as this proposal would simply aim at curing themselves off all competition and its repercussions on the health industry would be terrible. ironical? Although as of now, this is just a mere proposal and it has yet to get finalized, nonetheless, if it is made into reality, the consequences would be disastrous both for the bodybuilding industry as well as the aspiring body builders who want to develop a particular physique which is quite impossible to achieve without the aid of appropriate body building supplements.
One of the main reasons why FDC is doing this is to fill its own pockets-this is simply ridiculous! It so happens that the total sales generated by the health products (supplements) industry simply overshadows the total number of sales generated by the traditional ‘over the counter’ medication industry. The FDA and the FTC are so depressed with the big dent on their sizable medication pocket that they have started a one sided onslaught to end the flourishing supplements industry by providing incorrect information regarding health products both online as well as offline.
Why Is It Operation Cure All Ridiculous?
The government claims that it is proposing this act so as to safeguard the general population from the wrath of health products-well, isn’t this ironical and ridiculous at the same time! How can the government protect its health conscious population by not permitting them to include healthy food supplements in their diet? This is what each and every one of us here needs to learn and understand. Moreover, unless the health and supplement industry is unable to follow the stringent and uncharacteristically unethical rules and regulations as established by a biased FDA and the FTC, their testimonials would be deemed substantial and deceptive-isn’t that ironical? I believe it is more like arm twisting the health and supplements industry to meet the greedy demands of the FDA and the FTC. One such rule which caught my attention while going though the proposal was that all the testimonials as well as endorsements must meet and be backed up by ‘competent and reliable scientific information’. While the statement is worth commending, it is very difficult to even understand what it means and how it fits into the health supplements segment. In simple words-I don’t even know what it means-do you?
What I understood was that each health product needs to be backed with intensive research, clinical studies, tests and researches, without which the health supplement may not be allowed to enter the markets. The problem here lies in our qualifications as well as our lack of monetary constraints. I’m sure most of us are not qualified enough to conduct a clinical research on our products and neither do we have enough funds to invest in terms of hiring a qualified scientist to do the needful for us. Actually, as per the law, we would have to hire a scientist each time we submit a testimonial.
Another problem which we are facing is the legality of the testimonials. The entire world including the FDA and the FTC are aware that most testimonials are not legal, yet they are completely safe for human consumption. So, if this law is allowed to pass, we would have to stop production of these supplements which is our bread and butter and the livelihood of millions of aspiring athletes across the globe. This is not at all fair-what do you think?
The third problem with the so called ‘one sided’ proposal is in terms of the structure. Well, if you read through the structure column of the proposed rule book, you would notice that all testimonials need to be structured in a particular manner and that an average person would never be able to fill the structure and function’s criteria. Even if someone is aware of all the stringent rules that are being applied towards the drastic changes in the health supplement market, very few would be able to provide an acceptable testimony. In fact, only a skilled lawyer would be able to do so and that costs a lot of money.
As very few testimonials are legal, it is highly likely that most health supplements would be shunted out of the health sector. Even if the testimony is structured in accordance with the structure laid down by FDA then also you need to send a detailed report filed with the FDA within 30 days of compiling it. It is clearly evident now that the government has found a suitable way to shackle the internet health industry so that their products remain unheard of for ever.
Another rule in the guise of ‘deception’ is the fact that advertising should not be misleading. As per the new law, it has become illegal for websites to mention the names of chronic conditions such as cancer, arthritis, cardiac diseases, headaches and even pain anywhere in the website. In fact, you should also try and get it removed from the testimonials. But in reality, this cannot be removed as symptoms pertaining to a particular disease need to be mentioned. For example, “smoking is injurious to an individual’s lung”, would be considered as an illegal statement. According to the FDA regulations, this is considered as an impressionable disease claim.
In a nutshell, there should be no relationship between disease condition and a supplement. Interestingly, pregnancy, menstrual cycle and even menopause are considered as diseases. It would be exceedingly difficult for alternate health websites to prove that their product is worth purchasing, as we would not be able to explain the true potential of our supplement without describing it in an appropriate manner.
It is really funny to note that if a supplement is considered as a means of curing, treating, preventing or even mitigating a disease, the product would automatically lose its status as a supplement and as per the proposed rules of the FDA, would be considered as a drug. Once it has been categorized as a drug, it must pass through the FDA’s stringent laws and it can only be used when the supplement has been certified for its safety and effectiveness. The review process is incredibly lengthy, expensive and rigorous and not even drug companies would want to go through it. But till this process is not fully completed, the FDA would consider the supplement as an approved drug, which may never be allowed to circulate in the health markets. If for any reason the marketer decides to distribute the drug without undergoing the painstaking procedure then the supplement can be seized by the FDA and stopped from being distributed online.
This undoubtedly is the strong arm tactic devised by the FDA authorities to pressurize the internet marketing companies to give up their businesses altogether. The reason why FTA and the FTC have taken this stand is to ensure that internet marketers do not make use of misleading as well as deceptive statements to lure customers to their products. Well, are the customers so naïve that they would purchase a product which is not good in terms of quality? Well, of course they are an aware lot and can take the right decision for themselves. FDA continues to argue its point stating that it would not allow the use of deception for the sale of products and it even considers simple terms such as “secret ingredients”, “exclusive products” and “ancient remedies” as misleading terms that have no meaning in the scientific world. Now, isn’t this simply hilarious!
In order to clarify this for the FDA, let me clearly state that these terms do not have any relationship with the so called “scientific terminology” and they are simply used to explain the product in a simplified manner. Can you ever consider a term “ancient remedy” as a scientific term? You always find these terms used blatantly in various books, sales letters and even the daily newspapers. I believe no one would be naïve enough to search for them in the researcher’s directory. My argument is based on the fact that when the government knows that this is an advertising tool which all
other companies use on a regular basis then why should the internet industry is banned from doing the same. Are they under the impression that you cannot sell a genuine product or are they trying to imply that you would not be able to sell a genuine product because of the imposed restrictions?
I’m sure each and every one of us here must be aware that FDA has given approval to the drug companies to advertise their prescribed medications in the form of television commercials and ads in the magazines. While television viewers are provided with this information day in and day out, the FDA plans to suppress all the information which is related to natural health products. Why would they want to do so? Well, the answer is very simple and you need not be a scientist to realize the game that is being played here.
The claim of FDA is that people may cancel their surgical as well as chemotherapy options in favour of herbal medications and the FDA further claims that the traditional surgical as well as chemotherapy procedures are available for just a few hundred dollars only. What I would like the FDA to do is to spend five minutes of their precious time in calculating the total expenditure which is involved in surgery, chemotherapy as well as the radiation therapy. It would not be hundreds of dollars as the FDA had predicted but would run into tens of thousands of dollars. Why is the government not concerned with the high costs of the modern medication procedures?
Do you realize that an entire industry is profiting from the deals FDA is protecting. Take for example a cancer hospital and the staff and furniture it has. That must have been bought from somewhere. Then the medicines that are used for chemo- would that also not involve the drug industry. Then you take a closer look at the finishing schools that train doctors and nurses-would they not be making out of the entire deal? Last but not the least, take a closer look at the insurance companies-what do you think about them? In a nutshell, they all make money from the modern medication procedures and all those that are involved in this process are mainly doing so for the sake of instant profits. So, do you see any harm in internet marketers selling alternative health products? I guess not!
Just after reading through the above paragraph, you must have come to know the immense scope of the cancer industry with special regards to the monetary benefits involved. When the government is quite comfortable with the entire process then why should they be worried about natural healing products as well as natural body building supplements which cost only a few hundred dollars to be sold via the World Wide Web?
The only reason why the FDA is doing this is because they have realized that the sales in the health sector with special regards to body building supplements is increasing at warp speed and this in turn is diminishing the sales of the expensive modern medications.
Hence, the concerned authorities are uncertain how they can further brainwash the minds of an aware public. As they were unable to convince the public regarding the effectiveness of modern medication techniques, they have decided to come up with a new technique with which they can hope to cripple the natural health products industry permanently.
Colloidal Silver is yet another device which is protected by the FDA and I had an opportunity to try that as well. While it never really did any benefit to my body, it never really harmed me either. I firmly believe that there is no need for a government policy for a product that is harmless and there is also no need for any government restriction when the question revolves around my personal decision. Another interesting fact I would like to share with you is the use of St. John’s Wort medication. This is mainly used for treating patients who are suffering from HIV AIDS but in all honesty, do you think that the HIV patients only make use of St. John’s Wort medication and that they do not take a natural alternative along with it? If they are using a natural alternative as well, would the government ban St. John’s Wort medicine? Of course they would not. So, why should they try and ban natural health products including body building supplements. I believe each individual should have a right to choose the supplement of his/her choice.
I was in for a shock when I picked up the People’s magazine a few days ago and saw a two page ad which clearly suggested that people should discredit undocumented as well as unsubstantial claims by health companies. They also suggested that people first refer to their doctors before making use of a health
supplement or by paying a visit to the government website. A discussion with the doctor is not an ideal solution to such claims because not many doctors would be aware of the availability of health products. At the same time, how many doctors would have complete knowledge on nutrition because most doctors simply specialize in a single field of nutrition. At the same time, do you even think that doctors would be interested in natural health alternatives seeing the fact that they are paid enormous amounts by the drug companies in the form of bonuses and incentives to promote their form of medication? In fact most doctors even get an all expense paid trip to exotic locales for their training. How many doctors would even care that the medicines they are giving for the improvement of your cardiac problems can damage your gastrointestinal tract and even your liver?
According to the Journal of Medical Association Vol.284, July 26, 2000, it has been categorically stated that medication errors, unnecessary surgical procedures, adverse side effects of drugs have caused as many deaths as cardiac arrests and cancer. According to a study almost 2, 50,000 deaths were caused owing to iatrogenic reasons. An iatrogenic reason refers to the errors caused by concerned physician in terms of manner, activity as well as the therapy. This is a data which is related to the deaths only. What about the data which is related to the discomfort caused owing to disability and the adverse side effects of medications? Does the government ask the doctors why they make so many fatal errors?
doctors regarding the rate of failures after giving chemo therapy to the patients? Do they even ask how much the doctor charges and why one doctor charges more than the other for the same drug? Does the government even ask the doctors why 17000 people die in the US each year after consuming a seemingly harmless drug called aspirin? Do you also know that doctors are the third leading cause of the total number of deaths in the United States? Ironically, even though the American medical cost is one of the highest in the world, the services provided are amongst the poorest. In a recently conducted survey involving 13 countries, the United States ranked 12th from the bottom in terms of the quality of health services provided on the basis of 16 known health indicators. Undoubtedly, after reading the above paragraphs, you would be prompted to ask who is the government actually protecting and why is it doing so? There is one particular incident which I always recall in times like these.
Reading through the FDA laws, you realize that the fda are conveniently hiding a more serious killer in the form of trans fat. Trans fat is found in most processed food items and it is more dangerous than saturated fats. Some scientists are of the belief that it is excessively harmful for the human body as it lowers good cholesterol and aggravates bad cholesterol. It also increases triglycerides and ensures that the blood platelets become far stickier. This causes more clots to form inside a human body. It has also been noticed that even through the saturated fat content in a particular food is low, the trans fat content can be very high.
In the year 1999, as per a cost benefit analysis done for the FDA, it was ascertained that by labelling trans fats on the content section of a food product, it would save $3 billion to $8 billion annually in terms of averted heart disease charges. At the same time, labelling would also save 2000 to 5000 lives annually. Despite all this, FDA has not gone ahead and made it mandatory to label trans fats on food items. This very clearly shows that the labels are actually misleading patients who suffer from cardiac arrests, diabetes, performing athletes and millions of consumers who are conscious of their overall fat intake. Why is the FDA not concerned regarding the labelling of the food products? Are they not bothered about the essential nutritional fats being mentioned in the labels of food items? Do they really not care that the existing food labels are misleading in nature and can harm the consumers adversely? Perhaps they do not want to trouble the big snack manufacturers. Besides, they always ensure that their hospitals are provided with a steady stream of regular visitors. Who knows about trans fats anyways? Don’t you think that it is fairly easy to target the health and supplement industry as it is not as large as the big snacks manufacturers?
I believe it is much easier to slap unrealistic sanctions on the website industry as it is a smaller industry which is concerned with the real health of individuals. Have you realized that every time FDA tries to ensure that food supplements be bought only on the basis of prescriptions, the public reacts in an adverse manner? The public outcry is tremendous and we see petitions being signed, calls being placed and letters being sent on a regular basis. It is owing to the public indignation that the government has had to back of time and again. But now, it seems that they have finally found a way to gain a foothold by slipping the suppression of nutritional information from under the very eyes of the general public. They think you would never know, that you would never notice and that they would be able to take one small step at a time and pass one regulation after another right under your nose. If you allow this to happen then it would not be long before FDA would take complete control over your health decisions.
You need to ask the question whether the government is actually concerned about your health or is it doing so to fill its own pockets? Is it satisfying you pockets
or the pockets of the drug as well as the flourishing medical industry? If you ask this question to yourself, you would have an immediate answer.
Don’t allow the FDA to take complete control over your health. You cannot have them steal your choices. Fight for your rights as you have the right to live freely and choose the supplements of your liking.
If you do not speak out as an individual, the government would take control of all your health decisions and then the day would not be far when you would have to seek permission from the FDA for even complaining to the doctor that you have a headache. So, you need to speak out as individuals and also as collective people. If you would like that your voice is heard then you need to complain to and contact the federal representatives.
