Nutrition
and HIV: Loosing rights to choose Dietary Supplements!
by
Bradford McIntyre
Are you aware
you’re loosing your rights to choose? Have you noticed your
choices of natural health products for optimizing your health are
disappearing?
Why? Because of
legislation passed by European Union (EU) Directive on Dietary Supplements
and the fact that other countries are bound to the rules and laws of the
World Trade Organization.
In the early
years of the HIV and AIDS epidemic, there was no treatment. I was witness
to and learned from people who were using vitamins, minerals, herbs and
botanical supplements to combat illness and/or boost their immune system.
When the pharmaceutical drug AZT was first introduced as a treatment for
HIV and AIDS, instead I chose vitamin supplements as a means to boost my
immune system and stay healthy. I did not take HIV/AIDS medications for 13
years, out of the 20 years I have been infected!
It wasn’t until
1997, I first realized the threat the Codex Alementarius posed. Throughout
the years I have watched closely, signed petitions and written to the
Canadian government expressing my opposition to the German delegation’s
proposal to the World Health Organization’s Codex Alementarius, the
Committee on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses.
I believed then,
as I do now that if regulations are put into place, my rights as a
consumer of nutritional supplements will be jeopardized. Dietary
supplements which promote my well-being will become more costly and harder
to obtain, and no supplements will be available for therapeutic or
preventative uses without prescriptions. Dosages will have minimal amounts
with higher costs!
By August of
2005, 5,000 products will disappear?
An imminent
threat of being robbed of the right to choose!
Fight to keep our
supplements!
We are not only
ill informed but governments around the world are making these deliberate
legislative decisions without informing the general public! The mainstream
media as well has avoided coverage of this legislation!
That being said,
you can look to the Internet for all the details on how this legislation
has been taking place, and get involved!
