I had already posted about this but thought this might make it a bit more clear why we need as many people to sign it as possible




Dear Friends and Colleagues –



If you have ever bought a vitamin supplement or herbal remedy – or if you would like to have the opportunity to do so if you want to - please sign the petition and forward to everyone you know who values their freedom of choice.


Please note - cut off day for signing is 5th September!
Looks like if we're to have any say in taking responsibility for our own health, we have to do something, and fast!

VERY VERY IMPORTANT - Codex Alimentarius: Downing St Petition Needs Your Signature

Dear Friends,
I know some of you will be familiar with this, for others you may not
be aware of what parliament is about to do in your name. Codex
Alimentarius is a law designed to hand over the control of natural
remedies to the pharmaceutical giants. One more attempt to regulate
us - with potentially dire consequences. Unless we take this last
opportunity and act now we will not be able to buy vitamins or
health/nutritional supplements without a doctor's prescription - they
will be banned from 31st December 2009.

You may think this can't happen, you may think why haven't20I heard
about this before. The reason is that there are vested interests,
giant multinational pharmaceutical companies, and its not in their
interest that you know about and oppose this. They and our lawmakers
in Europe are banking on public apathy. Despite considerable pressure
already exerted our government is still planning to implement this law
- UNLESS THERE IS MASSIVE OPPOSITION IT WILL GO AHEAD.

Like many health and safety matters this was started with good
intentions, in 1962 by the United Nations, to establish international
free trade foods but has become a major threat to our civil liberties
and freedom of choice.

As the song says: YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'VE GOT TILL ITS GONE

Please, sign the petition to the Prime Minister . . It takes 10
seconds! This is for our health, and well-being and the health and
well-being of our children. Please click on this link below ...
