A link to information on CODEX appears at the bottom of this article. This will tell you everything you need to know about CODEX to decide whether you want it or do not want it.
If you value your local health food store and your ability and right to go to that store to purchase dietary supplements and over-the-counter-remedies of your choice, then join the fight against CODEX. Your ability to purchase such simple items as vitamin and mineral supplements, aspirin, Tylenol, cough syrups, throat lozenges, etc., may well be lost for our lifetimes if we lose this fight against CODEX.
What makes CODEX so insidious is that it is now law in both Germany and Norway. At the present time, as an example, the limit to the vitamin C you can purchase is 30 each 50 mg tablet, a 1-month supply at 1-a-day, for the equivalent of $60 USD. If CODEX becomes LAW in Canada and the USA, your choices will soon dwindle to a handful of products and those left will be triple the price you pay now and be available only at useless dosages.
If you are Canadian, help us and your fellow Canadians by actively supporting your right to choice and your right to take care of your own body. If you are American, help your fellow Americans actively supporting your right to choice and your right to take care of your own body, and to keep CODEX out of the US – petition your federal congressmen and senators, petition your state representatives and senators, even petition the drug companies to help fight CODEX. And by all means, send this message to everyone on your email list – awareness is half the battle.

What is CODEX and why would this drastically change how I use vitamins/minerals/supplements?

Once you understand how insidious CODEX is, and you understand that we must win this battle now, not this fall, not next year, but NOW, or we will have lost forever. Once the World Health Organization (WHO) succeeds in passing CODEX all signatory nations, under existing treaties, must make this “the law of the land” and our rights to go to the local health food store and choose our own alternative herbals and dietary supplements will be gone forever. Why? Because Canada and the US are signatories to WHO and must implement all such regulations into law.
Our only chance to defeat CODEX is to succeed in passing bill C-420 in Canada before the legislature takes their summer break. And in having such an uproar of the populace in the US that the US will not dare to try to implement CODEX. But it must be done now, not later.
