OOOOOHHHH, I am getting angry! Just got my Acres magazine today, and this article was in it. I am getting ready to move to a whole 'nother country where there IS FREEDOM to choose!! Just one more thing to "control" us 'alternative' folks with!

FDA Enacts Codex
If the Food and Drug administration has its way, very soon all vitamins,herbs, supplements,
and other natural substances used as health promoters--including water, "when used to treat
dehydration"--will be classified as drugs. The agency's director, Andrew C. von Eschenbach
(appointed in2006) wants the "Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their
Regulation by the Food and Drug Administration" proposal enacted immediately.
If the current 'guidance' language is enacted, it would mean, among other things, that:
Anyone growing and selling common garden herbs could be subject to prosecution as
as drug dealer;
Vegetable juice could be regulated as a drug;
Sprouts could be regulated as drugs;
Anyone selling vitamins and supplements could be subject to prosecution for
"practicing medicine without a license";
Massage oils, handheld massagers, and weight machines will be regulated as
"medical devices" requiring FDA approval.
The FDA and the Federal Trade Commission have already agreed to a so-called Trilateral
Cooperation Charter, which will gather together like forces in Canada and Mexico, under
the auspices of NAFTA, to pave the way for the implementation of the UN's Codex Alimentarius,
which seeks to disconnect domestic laws such as the U.S. Dietary Supplement Health and
Education Act of 1994. Purportedly aimed at raising health standards worldwide, Codex
clearly paves the way for total domination of the health industry by multinational
pharmaceutical companies and high-tech, high-dollar allopathic medicine.
"Complementary and Alternative Medicine Products and Their Regulation by the Food and
Drug Administration" can be read at www.fda.gov/OHRMS/DOCKETS/98fr/06d-0480-gld0001.pdf
