This may be one of the most important blogs you ever read. The secret to global success in turning the health freedom battle into a resounding success is in this little essay. That’s the good news, of course. The bad news is that it is going to take work and you are the person who is going to have to do it.
The Founding Fathers gave us the tools of democracy. Well, when we use them we move forward and when we don’t other forces move forward into the democratic vacuum left by our inaction, cynicism, apathy, diversion or whatever. This is a very simple action program. Please use it, print it and forward it to your circle of influence, urging them to do the same.

Deceptive Regulatory Code Set to Take Away US Vitamin and Mineral Freedom of Choice!
ACT NOW TO PROTECT YOUR HEALTH FREEDOM!
CODEX ALIMENTARIUS is a World Trade Organization-sponsored global food standard deceptively promoted as “consumer protection”. It is based on junk science (“Risk Assessment”), classifying nutrients as toxins and is a serious threat to your health freedom. CODEX ALIMENTARIUS serves the financial interests of massive multi-national corporations illegally pushing to implement CODEX ALIMENTARIUS in the United States of America via new laws that would remove the unique safeguards we have in the US.
Big Pharma knows that healthy people do not need drugs so they have enlisted CODEX ALIMENTARIUS, an international regulatory body backed by the trade sanctions of the World Trade Organization (WTO) to eliminate the Wellness Industry, leaving a clear field for the Sickness Industry in its place. Your action to protect our laws and alert the American people to this threat is essential.
In 1994 Congress passed by unanimous consent the Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act (DSHEA) which classifies supplements and herbs as foods which can therefore have no upper limit imposed on them. In July, 2005, CODEX ratified the Vitamin and Mineral Guideline (VMG) which will set ultra low limits on nutrients. The US Government position is that, because of international trade convenience, it will “harmonize” the US with the pro-illness standards of CODEX despite US laws, including DSHEA. How? By gutting DSHEA.
Several pieces of legislation now before Congress have been introduced to do exactly that. What can you do?
Take the following steps to safeguard your health and your health freedom:
Go to the Natural Solutions Legislative Action Page to tell Congress that your health freedom is precious to you! Your voice counts as equal to the opinion of 13,000 voters’ opinion when you express your views to Congress.
Congress is on recess until after Labor Day. That means that you can visit every member of your Congressional Delegation in their home offices. Make an appointment to see each Congressman or woman and be clear that you value your health freedom and expect him/her to protect those freedoms. The sad truth is that they probably have never heard of CODEX and you may well be the first person to tell them about it. Print out our One Page Flyer” and give it to your Congressman/woman. And, while you are at it, print off the Natural Solutions Legislative Action Page so you will have your facts on the legislation we support and oppose right at hand. It is essential that your message be brief, honed and clear. I will be providing you with “talking points” in a blog later this weekend for these meetings.
And, oh, by the way, take a group of friends and supporters. Take Health Food and Vitamin Store owners with you. Take everyone whom you can organize to convince your Congressperson that you are informed, serious and that you ALL vote!. And, oh, by the way, you’ve all got LOTS of voting friends at home!

I assure you that every one of those visits will create a relationship which will serve us well in the course of this battle and that every visit will convince your employee, your Member of Congress, that you mean [electoral] business! I cannot stress how very crucial this is to our battle. Please take it seriously and make these appointments. You will be helping to change the course of this struggle in our direction!
After you have seen each of your Congressional Delegates, please drop me an email letting me know whom you saw, how many people went with you and what the reaction of the Member was. We will use this information in developing our relationships with each and every Member of Congress for this battle.
