Stop Codex!

The protection of our health is one of the most fundamental human rights; and yet, every year, millions of people around the world die from preventable health problems such as heart attacks, strokes and cancer.

Scientific findings have shown that these diseases, and many others, can be prevented using side-effect free natural remedies. To date, over 10,000 studies have been published in scientific journals, most of which are accessible online, demonstrating the vital importance of vitamins and other non-patentable natural remedies in the protection of our health.

These findings are being ignored, and even actively attacked, for one reason only: They threaten the multi-billion dollar business with patented pharmaceutical drugs, many of which have questionable efficacy and serious side effects.

In addition to expanding their global “business with disease”, these same corporate interests are strategically developing a second global market affecting every life: our food.

Whilst a diet rich in natural fruits and vegetables is known to have health-enhancing effects, there is growing evidence that patented genetically-modified (GM) foods have harmful and incalculable long-term effects on human and environmental health.

By means of patents, products such as GM food, synthetic food additives and synthetic chemical pesticides have been developed into multi-billion dollar global markets.

To protect their lucrative global markets, the chemical/pharmaceutical multinationals are abusing national governments and even international organizations, such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations.

As a result, the WHO and FAO are co-sponsoring the so-called “Codex Alimentarius Commission”, which is trying to draw up global standards that:

Restrict free access to vital health information and to non-patentable natural remedies, such as vitamins;

Encourage the production of patented GM foods;

Weaken the international definition of the word “organic” thus enabling food produced using chemical substances and unnatural agricultural methods to be labelled as “organic”;

Encourage the use of patented synthetic food additives;

Encourage the use of toxic patented synthetic chemical pesticides.

In this situation, we the people of this planet stand at a crossroads: Do we want to preserve our fundamental right to effective natural health and natural healthy food for ourselves and our children, or do we knowingly hand over these basic areas of human life to global corporate interests for generations to come?

When making this important decision, we are well-advised to learn from history, where, once before, complacency had devastating consequences.

Three-quarters of a century ago, the chemical/pharmaceutical cartel was determined to seize control of the newly-emerging and highly profitable global investment markets of patented chemical and drug products.

To that effect, the largest chemical cartel at that time – IG Farben, consisting of the companies Bayer, BASF, Hoechst and others – strategically invested in the rise of the Nazis to power and supported them with the giant arsenal of explosives and other chemicals without which WWII would not have been possible.

While their military and political executors were sentenced during the Nuremberg war crimes tribunal, the corporate interests that brought the Nazis to power largely escaped justice. Encouraged by that fact, the now globally-operating chemical/pharmaceutical cartel developed their patented chemical drugs – many of them tested in Auschwitz, Buchenwald, and other concentration camps – into global markets for “chemotherapy” and other patented drug categories.

In recent years, the scientific evidence has accumulated that vitamins and other plant-derived natural substances are the solution to control many of today's most common diseases. These discoveries of the scientific evidence regarding the powerful health benefits of natural substances – made only in recent years, although it could have been established half a century ago – mean that millions of patients around the world have been sacrificed to the pharmaceutical investment business with disease.

The discovery that triggered the reactivation of the dormant ‘Codex Alimentarius’ activities by the pharmaceutical drug cartel in 1995 was the discovery of the connection between cardiovascular disease and scurvy. This discovery alone threatened the multi-billion dollar market of patented cardiovascular drugs – the single largest global drug market. After initial efforts to block the dissemination of this discovery in the US had failed, the global ban via Codex Alimentarius became a primary target of the cartel.

Mindful of the above, and in consideration of the serious consequences that inaction would have upon ourselves and generations to come:

We appeal to all responsible politicians in all countries throughout the world to take action to guarantee every citizen the right to free and unrestricted access to vitamin therapies and other natural remedies.

We demand that all citizens should have access to safe, nutritious food that is free from genetic modification and dangerous patented chemicals.

We call upon all responsible politicians to protect the fundamental right to good health of every citizen and take all steps necessary to prevent the Codex Alimentarius Commission from threatening the health and lives of the six billion people living today and generations to come.
