Canada's Bill C-51

How would you feel about being arrested for giving someone a vitamin supplement? Or being fined up to $5,000,000 for taking CQ10 or Milk Thistle capsules? If Canadian Parliament passes Bill C-51, that's exactly what could happen. Not only that, they can send agents into your home to search for the illegal substances - as if you were concealing COCAINE or HEROIN!!

We have temporarily been spared. The election has halted the vote on this issue, but it will raise its ugly head again. What this would mean is that anyone requiring such natural supplements would need to obtain a doctor's prescription. Further, CODEX Alementarius, an organization established by the UN, WHO and the Food and Agriculture Organization with the mandate of establishing food standards to protect the consumer and and settle trade disputes globally, has labelled nutrients TOXINS and so the allowable dosages of vitamins would be so low as to be ineffective. But I can get my vitamins and minerals from my food, right? Yes, now you can, but soon all food will be irradiated - killing off the nutrients and cooking the food would reduce nutrient value to nil.

This type of bill was proposed in England a few years ago and failed. It succeeded in Germany, where now you need a prescription for Vitamin C. The politics behind this is simple: Codex Alementarius governs food trade and if you trade food globally, you must follow all of their rules. They have set a deadline of January 2009 for the outlawing of nutrient supplements. What this means is that all countries who defy their ruling will not be playing on a level playing field with those who do. In any trade disputes that might erupt, those who don't comply, no matter if they are right, will automatically lose to the country who is Codex compliant.

This must be stopped!! Raise your voices!

Review the following and tell me this, will you just sit idly by and let this happen?
