Google Bans The Sale Of Vitamins Through Their Shopping Platform

(We Are Change) It was just four days ago at lunch, I was discussing with a close friend about writing a blog on how Google just flicked a switch and shut down all my vitamin sales. But it wasn’t just us. You can no longer search – Vitamin B12 or any vitamin – in Google Shopping and find a list of products and competitive pricing. As the owner of an advertising agency he was in shock and in disbelief, until I showed him on my Android phone. At first we thought it was Google changing Shopping to a Pay Per Click service, which in itself is a horrible idea. It limits choice by driving out smaller companies and has already driven the price up 25%, if you can find it at all.

I noticed visits to Nuegreen.com were down 50% since July 1. It felt like Google was forcing everyone’s hand to start paying up for ads. So, I reached out to a Google AdWords Specialist for assistance with setting up an ad campaign and was then told that they could not help me because I sold vitamins, herbs and supplements. I was told that if I had questions I could email legal@google.com . Big surprise, no response. This was now sounding crazy to me. How could Google just ban whatever they like, whenever they like. Boy what a blog this would be: Google – Greedy Monsters or Monster Idiots. After doing a little research it now appears like the Monster is just scared of the exposure to potential sanctions by the European Union if certain product are sold though Google Checkout .

In my very first search: Google Bans Vitamins , I found: EU Set to Ban … & EU Bans Vitamins and Herbs in effect on April 2011 . Wow! Really! Then I found this went back to 2005. The people of Great Brittan did not want to go along with Brussels and how Tony Blair caved. Read: And Guess Who’s Going to Benefit? by Geoffrey Lean Daily Mail, 13th July 2005 & Brussels Gives a Healthy Boost to Pharma Giants by Christopher Booker; The Sunday Telegraph, 17th July 2005 .

This is interesting, but as I read more and more articles of how and why, I started to notice: Germany, Codex Alimentarius, UN, World Trade Orangization, 1996 . Whaaaat??? Believe it. This goes all the way back to German Pharmaceutical companies angered by their government taking control of Heath Care and price controls.





This story is way bigger than just Google. It is about a long and systematic plan which really dates back all the way to 1963 . It is about big Agra and big pharma forcing individuals to buy their patented formulas and preventing access to what nature has already provided us . I will stop short of where else this argument heads. Only that many see this as individuals losing freedom and sometime in the near future, you will be required to obtain permits to grow your own food at home.

Is Google at fault? I say No . Is Google choosing sides? You know it. Does Google stick to its’ Mission Statement of, “Do no harm”? Yes, if you are big business. Do you think the Freedom of choice is a Liberty worth keeping? Then do something about it! Here are some easy suggestion, just forward this blog to: Dr. Oz / 350.org / Steven Colbert / The White House or Twitter it to any group with an audience who may care. Like it Shareit or Pin it, just make others aware.

Rather than reading the entire Codex Alimentarius , here are some Wikipedia highlights.____

The Codex Alimentarius Austriacus . [1] ( Latin for “Book of Food”) is a collection of internationally recognized standards, codes of practice, guidelines and other recommendations relating to foods , food production and food safety .

Its texts are developed and maintained by the Codex Alimentarius Commission , a body that was established in 1963 by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO) and the World Health Organization (WHO). The Commission’s main aims are stated as being to protect the health of consumers and ensure fair practices in the international food trade. The Codex Alimentarius is recognized by the World Trade Organization as an international reference point for the resolution of disputes concerning food safety and consumer protection . [2] [3]

Scope______________________________________________________________________

The Codex Alimentarius officially covers all foods, whether processed, semi-processed or raw , but far more attention has been given to foods that are marketed directly to consumers. [ citation needed ] In addition to standards for specific foods, the Codex Alimentarius contains general standards covering matters such as food labeling , food hygiene , food additives and pesticide residues, and procedures for assessing the safety of foods derived from modern biotechnology . It also contains guidelines for the management of official (ie, governmental) import and export inspection and certification systems for foods.
