Jump To Comment: 1 2 3The Codex Comm on food supplements ended at the weekend and the Alliance for Natural Health
has just press-released on issues arising from the Golden Triangle conference.
Two attendees are in India now visiting key Ayurvedic interests to strengthen the ANH's
International programme to help protect non-European traditional Healthcare cultures.
"CODEX Puts Industry interests before Consumers Again"
This years meeting of the Committee , relocated from its heartland in Germany,
unsurprisingly saw a strong turnout from Asian countries. However cultural factors
may have hindered interventions, leaving the European Commission and United
States delegations to dominate proceedings under the chairmanship of Germany's
Dr Rolf Grossklaus. The relocation from Germany to Thailand also seemed responsible for
the 30-32% reduction in attendance, between 2005-2006, from national delegations and
NGO's respectively"
THE CCNFSDU- (Codex Comm on Nutrition and Foods for Special Dietary Uses)
Develops guidelines and standards for food including Infant formula, ceral based food s for
infants, gluten free food and dietary supplements. Coom procedures are strictly controlled
and although consensus voting provides the mechanism for agreemment of texts, organised
pacts between national delegations frequently allow viewpoints in favour of industry
to be pushed through, even in the face of fierce opposition from consumer-led NGO's"
Flouride and Sugar:
"It seems without doubt that industrial interests are taking precedence over
consumer interests- re the inclusion of flourides and sugars in foodstuffs
destined for children.
There was 10 minutes given by the CODEX COMM on Risk assessment in relation to safe
water in infant formula.
The Press release and report are available on
http://www.alliance-natural-health.org
Professor Waxman- London Oncologist has said that food supplements must be re-classified
as 'drugs'.
And that cancer patients can be healed by pharmaceuticals and pesticide contaminated
foods.
Now some of us have illnesses and are treated by a variety of means and ways.
Complementary medicine does what it says on the tin- it is a system of dietary
and supplement treatments that complement the 'traditional' medications.
sponsored by the vested interests of the Pharm industry.
Mr Waxman does not trust the individual's right to choose in their care:
" The reasons that these prducts are accessible to patients is that they are not subject to the
testing of Pharmaceuticals because they are classified as food Suplements'
In the above links and articles, the food supplement directive and the 'Codex'
problem is discussed.
The meaning of 'complementary' is simple. oftentimes a GP will send a patient to
a homeopath or dietician to get people with problems- such as cancer to re-learn
about their bodies and the type of food that they eat. Diet is a massive problem
especially in Ireland where multi-national interests are creating childhood obseity,
diabetes, heart- disease- the market is unregulated and advertising to children
obscene. so we re-learn diet. we accept complementary therapies. they may not
cur the illnesses but they most definitely help.
Codex and the food directive are busily regulating for the money interests of the
Global corporations and not to the individual's right to choose .
The front bench of our governments have had one too many meals at the
expense of the corporations and the consumer is uneducated about exactly
how free the irish market is in terms of food politics and globalised abuse.
Five NGO's : The Alliance for Natural Health, Rath Health Foundation, The Natural
Health Federation, VOICe an Mayday formed an alliance to challenge national and
international regulations and guidelines that continue to allow the use of
synthetic flourides in infant formulas.
