Health Freedom D-Day Coming Soon in New Zealand
By John Hammell

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

The single most important thing American consumers (and consumers world wide) can do is to support the health freedom groups in your respective countries and to donate to the Alliance for Natural Health in the UK because their lawsuit to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive is PIVOTAL in our efforts to monkeywrench CODEX.

Barbara Stewart, a member of the New Zealand Parliament, and Health Spokesman for the New Zealand First political party, expects the vote to come down VERY SOON in New Zealand on the legislation that threatens to implement the Trans Tasman Treaty with Australia which would seal New Zealand Vitamin consumers fate, robbing them of their access to healing nutrients and putting thousands of people out of work.

HOW THIS PERTAINS TO VITAMIN CONSUMERS WORLD WIDE

New Zealand is a New World Order test country. We're witnessing a TEST in a geographically isolated part of the world, where the Pharma Cartel which dominates much larger Australia, is attempting to FORCE ITS WILL on neighboring New Zealand in order to CRUSH consumer access to healing nutrients there as part of their global eugenics agenda.

This is a MICROCOSM of what we're seeing unfold via CODEX, and via the EU Food Supplements Directive. I am sending this by way of ILLUSTRATION, as part of an ongoing effort to awaken sleeping people world wide.

The reason I am so concerned is that I have been seeing the exact same sort of moves playing out in other countries, and I know how DESPERATE the Pharma Cartel is to suppress consumer access to dietary supplements. For example, in England last year, we lobbied the Standing Committee on Health very heavily against their passing implementing legislation that would harmonize English dietary supplement laws to the horribly draconian EU Food Supplement Directive and we swayed 5 Labor MPs to our side, but when we DID this, the ruling Labor Party there YANKED those 5 people THE DAY BEFORE THE VOTE and stacked the committee with YES men who voted PARTY LINE and the vitamin consumers of England were thereby SCREWED. The ruling Labor Party TOTALLY IGNORED over one million signatures gathered on petitions in English health food stores against harmonization to the EU Food Supplement Directive.

All of this resulted in the Alliance for Natural Health filing a lawsuit to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive. I was in London in January when they won a historic referrel to the European Court of Justice, where they recently filed another lawsuit, but have yet to receive a court date.

Please also be aware that in Canada, a group called Freedom of Choice in Health Care has filed a lawsuit to overturn illegal regulations made last summer when Health Canada illegally harmonized Canada to Australian law, and in South Africa, a group called PHARMAPACT (People's Health Alliance Rejecting Medical Authoritarianism Prejudice and Conspiratorial Tyranny) is once again having to go into high gear to oppose current rule making efforts by the South African Medicine's Control Council to attack consumer access to dietary supplements, and at the UN's Codex Alimentarius Commission they could finalize a horribly draconian global trade standard for vitamins and minerals at their next meeting in November in Germany.

In the USA, Senator Durbin has introduced legislation that would have the effect of GUTTING our Dietary Supplement Health and Education Act of 1994 which was passed in direct response to an FDA rulemaking effort in the early 90s that would have destroyed consumer access to supplements here in America. Although Durbin's legislation has been stonewalled, I am aware that the Pharma Cartel intends to take the USA LAST via a process of harmonization within the FTAA trading block or perhaps via forced harmonization to a finalized Codex vitamin standard. I am aware that unless ANH prevails with their law suit to overturn the EU Food Supplement Directive, massive political pressure will be brought to bear in the USA to harmonize our laws to the EUs, and ironically, much of this pressure will come from the bigger vitamin companies who only care about getting a leg up on their smaller competition, even if this comes at the expense of consumer choice.

The Pharma Cartel has a business with disease- its not in their best interests that people be healthy, and the high cost of so called "health care" is bankrupting nations world wide. The only rational solution is to promote wellness and prevention.
