Codex Alimentarius-- IMPORTANT ARTICLE!!

Please send links of this blog posts or at least the links to the videos to all your friends and family. This piece of legislation needs to be publicized for what it really is.

Nutrients are toxins. Ya know... Vitamin D supplements, ginko biloba, oh and how about natural plant extracts?!! Yep. They're all regulated by Codex Alimentarius now. Even tea tree oil.

"Codex Alimentarius" used to be a voluntary set of guidelines until the World Health Organization plus several other supposedly helpful organizations got together and decided to regulate and control the food supply of the world. Vitamins and minerals are now listed as food. Therefore they are able to be controlled.

June 16th, 2010 is when Obama made it official. Read it here. Executive Order #13544 in PDF format; this is the end of the road for all those people who think that Big Pharma isn't in cahoots with Uncle Sam. Or... is that the other way around? The money changes hands so fast I'm shocked more Judicial Watch lawyers don't have whiplash trying to watch it all happening right in front of their faces.

The following video is the first part of a series of talks by Dr. Rima Laibow MD, available on DVD from the Natural Solutions Foundation, an non-profit organization dedicated to educating people about how to stop Codex Alimentarius from taking away our right to freely choose nutritional health.

http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-5266884912495233634# I've been wrestling with this issue all day. Can't get the vid to load properly here. Google is either really smart or really stupid. I'm leaning more toward the side of really smart. And tired of getting so many hits on this topic, probably.



What can we expect under Codex? To give you an idea, here are some important points:

• Dietary supplements could not be sold for preventive (prophylactic) or therapeutic use.
  
• Potencies would be limited to extremely low dosages. Only the drug companies and the big phytopharmaceutical companies would have the right to produce and sell the higher potency products (at inflated prices).
  
• Prescriptions would be required for anything above the extremely low doses allowed (such as 35 mg. on niacin).
  
• Common foods such as garlic and peppermint would be classified as drugs or a third category (neither food nor drugs) that only big pharmaceutical companies could regulate and sell. Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water.
  
• Codex regulations for dietary supplements would become binding (escape clauses would be eliminated).
  
• All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex testing and approval.
  
• Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labeling.
  

According to John Hammell, a legislative advocate and the founder of International Advocates for Health Freedom (IAHF), here is what we have to look forward to:

"If Codex Alimentarius has its way, then herbs, vitamins, minerals, homeopathic remedies, amino acids and other natural remedies you have taken for granted most of your life will be gone. The name of the game for Codex Alimentarius is to shift all remedies into the prescription category so they can be controlled exclusively by the medical monopoly and its bosses, the major pharmaceutical firms. Predictably, this scenario has been denied by both the Canadian Health Food Association and the Health Protection Branch of Canada (HPB)."

Today I found this MSNBC news clip which shows the "safety" side of the argument slowly but surely making it's way to the forefront. For the moment they're sticking to attacking chemically derived substances which the CIA and Navy originally concocted to be a substitute for codeine. And yet when it comes to easing pain DXM has not shown to better than placebo in trials. Curious, eh? If it doesn't work then why use it? ..... oh... that's right... we need to keep waging a "War on Drugs."

MSNBC news clip about salmonella in egg supply: Pay careful attention to what she says at 2:00 and forward about combining the FDA and the USDA... interesting, yes? Coincidence? Not on your life!

By the way, Codex's main commission office is located in Rome(the supposed headquarters of the Illuminati). Here's the strategic plan from 2008-2013, directly from Codex's site. 5.4 is especially interesting considering the proposed "Internet Kill Switch" up for debate a while back. 5.5 Well, that's basically you and me telling on our neighbors to Big Brother.

Decimating The Food Chain One Species At A Time

As much as I love salmon I'm not eating it anymore. I can't. It grieves me to see such greed winning over common sense. Leave Mother Nature alone!!

Information packed, I promise these vids will be worth your time. They're about seven minutes apiece.

Next, antibiotics, diseases, and the aftermath of the farms leaving....

Ahimsa And The Control Factor

Being married to a literalist Christian I feel the impulse to strangle him sometimes. I even blog about our mutual frustrations. (Managing Stress entry.) In some of the earlier days of our marriage it seems I swung wildly between wanting to scream at him or hug him and kiss him.

And other times I lie beside him and can literally feel the purity of his soul. I think to myself, "this is a bright spark" and can look far beyond the flaws we argue about so frequently.Words don't matter. Sometimes we coexist better in silence and facial expressions.

I had a roommate once who I honestly wanted to physically hurt in the morning. She'd let her snooze button go off like, oh... fifteen times... before getting up. The walls were thin. We worked different shifts. I was losing sleep. I finally lost my cool one morning and stormed into her bedroom, ripped out the alarm clock, opened up the window, and tossed it outside. Not my most shining moment, I admit. I could have handled that better.

My point is that I cannot control other people. I can only control me. But that also means that I should not feel badly for their rotten decisions or ignorant behavior. Overdraft your checking account? What do you want me to do- sit there for an hour while you rant and scream about the evil bank? ummm... no. I'm not a martyr and I won't sit passively and act like one. I can give you good advice, though, on how to not have it happen again. Then again, sometimes silence is golden. Letting other people work out their own problems is a good thing.

The Buddhist term "ahimsa" --to do no harm to a living creature-- applies not just to those times when we are contemplating going vegetarian or seeing someone neglect an animal. Ahimsa applies every single time we open our mouths. This Gandhian interpretation of ahimsa means being mindful of the result our words can have is one giant step toward gnosis. Why? Because if your eyes are truly open and so is your heart, you cannot in good conscience injure another being. In gnosis you see and feel that spiritual connection between you and the other person. Why would you injure yourself? Both you and the other person are part of the fabric of Pleroma. You are literally cut from the same cloth.

Still confused with the visualization?

Try this: imagine the irritating person in front of you as a younger and more immature version of yourself. You will be a lot less inclined to speak in anger. This younger and more immature version of yourself has not had the life experiences you have had yet; so how can you be boiling angry at simple inexperience? It's like screaming for a baby to shut up when all they want is to be held and fed. The baby is doing what he is meant to at that stage in his life. And so should you.

With gnosis and the concept of ahimsa physical age isn't a factor. An eighty year old could have the mental age and control of a ten year old.

Granted, there are times when it is essential to make your point and yeah, we're only human; we will fail at controlling our temper. It's going to happen. We're not Vulcans and we certainly don't have to act like we are. But slowing down, relaxing the muscles in our face, belly breathing, ..... all that... in those steps.. can make all the difference in the world in how you handle yourself when upset with something somebody did.

When dealing with a person who has bad habits, leaves you to clean up their messes, is irresponsible, and just plain doesn't seem to give a damn about anything you are not expected to just accept their bad behavior. The way I see it you really have three options. The third has interchangeable terms for obvious reasons, for all the different types of relationships which exist.

1. Get mad, yell, and forcefully try to change the person's behavior.
2. Detach and don't take it personally. Try logic and reasoning. If this doesn't work then you're left with option number three.
3. End the relationship/divorce/separate/move out and move on
   

A person only changes if they meet the two following requirements:

1. They have been convinced through logic and reasoning that it is within their best interest to change and
2. They want to change.
   

If those two requirements are not met then you're basically talking to a brick wall. Breathe and move on.


PS. Talking to your children about ahimsa works!! We have regular discussions about 'harmful things' we do or say to one another. You'd be surprised at the kinds of things children pick up on and will actually use if you remind them to.
