Codex Alimentarius
By administrator | July 28, 2008
Codex is a commission set by the FAO & WHO on the request of the U.N. It covers everything we consume by putting in our mouths, except of course pharmaceuticals. It is a mandatory guideline to harmonize standards for all countries belonging to the World Trade Organization, set to be enforced on January 1, 2010. Make no mistake about it, it is a Trade Commission not law, yet every member of the WTO will be forced to follow its guidlines. In any trade dispute among countries, if one side is a WTO member and the other side is not, the WTO member will win the dispute despite the merit of the case. Thus, most countries are rushing to sign their sovereignty away as they don’t want to be outside the trading block.
In 1994 DSHEA (Dietary Supplements Health & Education Act) was put into place classifying nutrients as food. Codex Alimentarius is an attempted to circumvent DSHEA by reclassifying nutrients as toxins. They did this through “risk assessment.” This is known as LD-50. To ascertain an LD-50, you take a test group and feed them a substance and keep increasing the dosage until it kills 50% of the subjects. Next you start feeding the test group very small amounts and gradually increase the dosage until a discernable impact is shown. Then you divide this number by 100 to determine the largest dose that safely has no effect. This gives you an LD-50. Under this guidline anything could in effect be deemed dangerous. This is their justification for nutrient reclassification.
Not only are pharmaceuticals exempt from this commission, but many dangerous chemicals known as POPs (Persistant Organic Pollutants) which were banned by 176 countries because they were too dangerous, will once again be allowed! Of the 12 known POPs, 7 will be brought back into mainstream use. There is absolutely no reason what-so-ever that I can think of to bring toxins back into use, unless you plan to harm a group of people…
Being a member of the WTO also means an end to organic foods. Codex insists on all meat sources -whether they walk, fly, or swim- to be treated with antibiotics & growth hormones, and everything must be irradiated. Antibiotics & synthetic hormones severely weaken our immune systems. Irradiated food is dead-food. No nutrient survives irradiation. This is estimated to result in no less than 3 billion deaths world wide, 1 billion through starvation & another 2 billion from from preventable disease.
You think this will never happen? Think again…
Codex is responsible for the use of flouride in our drinking water. With out knowing the facts, one might feel that flouride is a good thing. But the truth of the matter is 98% of Europe does not allow its use as it is a known toxin. Yet strangely enough they have the same rate of tooth decay as we have in North America. How could this be if flouride was doing its job?
Consider that flouride was first used by the Russians in the Gulag. They put it in the water to keep inmates docile! Today we use sodium flouride in both rat poison & Prozac… What does that tell you about its true purpose?
Our laws in this country are based on Common Law. Under Common Law what is not forbidden is permitted. Codex Alimentarius is based on Napoleonic Law which states what is not permitted is forbidden. So on these grounds alone we can’t allow Codex to over rule existing laws, otherwise a precedent is set & many more of our rights will disappear along with nutrients.
It is time to wake up & to take an interest in what is happening our world, beyond what we are told. Contact your Member of Parliament through mail or in person & let them know you are not in favor of Canada partipating in the WTO.
