Nenah,
Nothing further from my mind that argue a pointless issue but I need to
remind you that the same type of sentiment was running when we signed into
WTO.
I remember " the chinese are going to tell us what to do.." and so on.
Nenah, I have been in the supplelement business for ten years (ex-chemist in
my previous corporate career), I belong to their associations, know most of
the principals, meet with them at seminars, conferences, etc, consult for
some and nobody is attaching any significance to the Codex or Cafta as a
threat to our domestic liberties.
I did call Mel Martinez's office (senator) and asked once again what would
the effect be and the legal advisor expressed a similar view. These treaties
are to regulate our traffic to them not to control our internal affairs.
Only Congress can act to rescind or modify DSHEA.
I make my living formulating, consulting and selling supplements and I am
not concerned by Codex. Europeans are under the authority of Codex and they
deserve it because for many years they have been scolding us for our liberal
approach to supplements and giving us the same falacious argument as the
dieticians in this country use, namely that " a balanced diet supplies the
necessary nutrients,,,"
Keep also in mind that in Germany, England and France the Homeopathic
medicine is going to boom.
Rath thought to gain reverse momentum to affect Rome's meeting by
capitalizing on our freedoms. Unfortunatelly it did not work.
I must say that some countries such as Indonesia, Philipines, etc are
presently using much tighter rules than Codex and thus they represent an
opportunity for more imports from US.
What will do our industry in, is the "enemy within" Many schools of
Naturpopathy are no more than alopathics using natural remedies. They
believe in remedying, rather than curing. They use herbals not to cure but
to "manage" disease. Is a trade off of synthetics for natural compounds but
the underlying healing philosophy is much different from that of the
tradicional naturistic physicians.
Be aware of schools emerging all over offering two years of weekend training
for MD allopaths to get a degree in naturopathy.
The NIH has a definite agenda to destroy us by accepting to run studies
(double-blinds, placebo controlled, multicenter, etc.) on specific
supplements against specific diseases. Those who submit to that approach are
totally unaware of biochemical individuality and pretend to gain the seal of
approval of the NHI for commercial purposes. Many fail and they blame the
establishment. Fools. They are the ones who make money peddling compounds
but they have no idea about their physiological dynamics.
These are the folks that are doing us in together with the the FDA-AMA-FTC
cartel and our fury and discust should be primarily directed against them.
But then, that is just my opinion....
PS I'll never feel "shouted" at by you.
Friendly

My understanding about any international treaty having to do with Codex
is that our supplements exported to the subscribing countries will have
to meet their standards, but domestic USA production for domestic use
will not be afected.
NO NO NO!!!!! This is not true. If CAFTA (another "treaty") is signed,
this will be the final nail in the coffin. The US will be bound to accept
the INTERNATIONAL STANDARD rather than its own laws. International
standards will SUPERSEDE our own sovereignty.
This is why CODEX is so insidious.
Frank, I don't mean to "shout" at you, I'm just trying to correct
misinformation. There have been plenty of "plants" out there trying to
mislead us into complacency.
Another highly insidious front is known as "Weiling" refering to Andrew
Weil, the opportunistic MD who is trying to absorb the nutritional
industry into the medical world.
I once received a few sample newsletters from Weil and found them full of
misinformation.
Nenah
