I am experiencing significant technical difficulties so I will give you the news fast and quickly: At the very end of today’s deliberations, the WHO, one of the parent bodies of CODEX, made it clear that CODEX had done little to advance health during its 42 years of existence and that was about to end. The WHO Global strategy for diet, exercise, nutrition and health WOULD be implemented by CODEX and, in order to do that, the two committees of CODEX which could deal with nutrition WOULD deal with nutrition. The focus and mandate of the CODEX Committee on Food Labeling (which prohibits claims of any health benefit) and the CODEX COMMITTEE on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses (Dr. Grossklaus’ committee) are going to change their Terms of Reference (focus and mandate) to include nutrition and CODEX will make a yearly report to the World Health Assembly about its progress in implementing the WHO Strategy!

No choice, no way out for CODEX out of this one. Unless, of course, the Bigs (Big Pharma, Big Agra Biz, Big Chema, Big Biotechna and Big Medica) get to twist some arms and fill some pockets.

The battle is not over, by any means, and the war is not won BUT we have some heavies, who, by the way, hold the purse strings for CODEX, on the side of health freedom. Now we need to lobby, support Congressional pressure on the process, become strongly useful to the WHO and FAO in shaping their policies and help the US CODEX Office turn into a bunch of heroes who help CODEX change direction and adopt DSHEA as the international standard.

It can be done. Let’s do it together!

We are already working on strategies domestically and internationally to make sure we do not lose this golden (and totally surprising) gift to our side.

Have you ever heard of anything in the health and health freedom arena which is such sudden, surprising and unexpected good news? I haven’t. This is unprecedented! Let’s make sure we don’t let this wonderful opportunity slip away either through complacency or inaction.

How do we make sure this is made the most of?

Tell everyone you know and, if you have not already done so, follow the six easy steps to protecting America from CODEX and turn up the volume. It seems the WHO and FAO are playing our tune, the tune of health freedom! Let’s all dance!

Yours in Health and Freedom,

Dr. Laibow, in sveltering Rome
