You'll be shocked at how many mental illnesses and psychical ailments they cure by their methods. Hence why I'm upset they want to ban such practices.

Cyradis wrote: » I reccomend anyone interested in curing diseases with high dosage vitamins to read Dr. Atkins' "The Nutri-Vitamin Solution"....it basically shows you how to cure most illneses through high-dosage vitamin and mineral intakes. Very interesting read, I and my counterparts have cured multiples people using these such procedures, hence why should we not be allowed use these anymore?

Cyradis wrote: » This is VERY true!!! I am not saying use vitamins for replacing lost energy from food, far from it, I'm talking about large doses to cure illnesses etc. Someone said something about it being dangerous! HAHAHA Ever know anyone who diet from a vitamin c overdose?? Come off it! I grow my own food on my farm, 'tis the only safe way I suppose, but this Codex thing apparently wants to muddy the waters regarding letting consumers know if it's GM or not? GM crops are extremely un-nutritious and hazardous to health. Anyways, yeah coffee haha

Any food with any therapeutic effect can be considered a drug, even benign everyday substances like water. * All new dietary supplements would be banned unless they go through Codex testing and approval. * Genetically altered food would be sold worldwide without labelling.

I never heard of this, I thought it was some type of PC game! haha But yeah, apparently, Codex Alimentarius is a new legislation the UN is trying to get the whole world to apply in their countries. Codex Alimentarius is translated into "food code" or "food plan"...can't remember. But what scares me is what it's all about!! I thought my mate was having me on until I did a bit of research....anyways...hope you're sitting down... Basically, and very basically, the whole point of the thing is to set down rules on foods and vitamins across the world. I don't like that, but it gets worse. If this gets through, suppliers of food WON'T need to disclose whether or not it is GM food or organic! They won't need to divulge most of the ingredients either!!! WHAT? That's pure madness, but, it gets worse... Vitamins will not be allowed to be sold in shops.....that's right....VITAMINS.....you'll only be able to get them from a doctor by PRESCRIPTION and not in any worthwhile dosages........so, the food we eat will be ****, and we can't even take vitamins to make up for that fact?? Huh? I was also told that many "superfoods" as they call them....Goji berries and such, will be either banned or not allowed because they'll be classed as a "drug". I can't believe something like this exists....can someone ease my mind a little?? HAHA Thanks!
