 "Regional Trade Agreements Suppress Health Options
The European Union has set up a highly restrictive vitamin-regulation plan, different from the Codex plan, called the food supplements directive. This is an example of a regional plan. It is scheduled to go into effect on December 31,2009, though it is still a work in progress in terms of exact doses and exclusions of nutrients. It serves as an example of the power of "HARM-onizing" in the E.U.: The people of Great Britain, for example, were forced to accept highly restrictive dietary-supplement laws based on laws in other European countries."- Byron J. Richards, Fight for Your Health: Exposing the FDA's Betrayal of America (Get the book.) "European Union food supplements directive. Another major threat is from the Free Trade Area of the Americas (FTAA). If this agreement ever takes hold, it would regionalize North, South, and Central America. At the moment, Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay, and Venezuela have not agreed to move forward with the FTAA. However, there is pressure from many of the countries in this region to continue negotiations, and they are backed heavily by the Bush administration." - Byron J.

 "This state of affairs, which has always been a source of deep frustration to those on the fringes of medicine, reached fever pitch when the EU food supplements directive was threatening to sweep supplements off the shelves.
The idea was to bring safe maximum limits into line across nation states but, as Rose Shepherd suggested in a passionate piece she wrote for the Observer Magazine, the move hijacked food supplements, forcing them to be seen as medicines."- Jacky Law, Big Pharma: Exposing the Global Healthcare Agenda (Get the book.) |
 "Everything in Europe is about to change due to the EU food supplements directive (FSD), which will soon go into full effect. As a result, around 5,000 safe formulas and nutrients that have been on the market for decades will be banned in fifteen European countries. This directive regulates that if a plant or herb is medicinal or effects physiological function in any way, it is a medicine and it is to be sold as a drug. This new regulation adversely effects all nutritional supplements, not just herbs."- Leslie Taylor, ND, The Healing Power of Rainforest Herbs: A Guide to Understanding and Using Herbal Medicinals (Get the book.) |
