> U.S. to Criminalize Trade in Vitamins
>
> In April this year Congress passed and the president signed into law the
> Health Insurance Bill.
>
> Unbeknown to most of us this bill contained what is termed a "rider"
> which sneaked draconian measures past an unsuspecting public.
> The rider was not from the FDA but from the United Nations World Health
> Organization Codex program.
>
> These new provisions empower the FDA to close down all health food stores
> and to require that all of us obtain a medical doctor's prescription for
> vitamins, herbs and other food supplements.
>
> SPIRAL, the Society for the Protection of Individual Rights and Liberties
> reports that the FDA is presently working on the implementation of this
> new law. The "rider", which will likely cause the eventual closure of
> health food stores across the country, is part of the United Nations
> W.H.O. Alimentarious Commission's program to control all food supplements
> worldwide. Its provisions have already been imposed in Norway where
> already half their health food stores have been forced to close.
>
> UN provisions under the W.H.O. program declare amounts of Vitamin C in
> excess of 250 mg, for example, to be a drug. So don't be surprised to see
> the D.E.A. swat teams practising "dynamic entry techniques" in the middle
> of the night to seize your 1000 mg vitamin C capsules.
