vitamin battle rages in EU

[visionary]

Praise the Lord, but the battle is not over yet. Those conglomerates will be workig behind the scenes for every which way possible to shut down the nutritional health food industry. Please continue to pray and participate for your and your family's health.

Up until this point, compliance with Codex standards has been voluntary. Yet, that is only the start of the “Boiling Frog” strategy. First, as you may have heard, allowable supplements will be reduced to a handful of ultra low-dose, synthetic vitamins and minerals. Then, incredibly -- without public intervention and outcry -- starting this year in phases, CODEX will go on to do these things:


Prohibit the use of any natural substance to prevent, treat or cure disease.

Legalize genetically modified organisms (GMOs), mandate antibiotics and hormones in animal feed.

Hoist allowable pesticides, toxin and drug levels in foods, making organics inaccessible.

Even eventually prohibit the traditional herbs and medicines indigenous cultures have used for thousands of years.


CODEX is not just about vitamins and minerals, although this is the most acute issue today. It will negatively impact agriculture and economies too. It’s predicted that if CAFTA passes, for example, U.S. corn exports to Central America would increase by 10,000 percent in the first year. In the first 10 years after NAFTA went into effect, 1.7 million farmers, who make up the majority of the population there, lost their land.


Who is Behind Codex?

The pharmaceutical, chemical and agribusiness corporations stand to make huge amounts of money from CODEX. Well-funded, massive disinformation campaigns, half-truth, half-lie “spin” websites like www.snopes.com, as well as infiltration and control of trade organizations supposedly designed to protect the health food and supplement industries, are all smoke-and-mirror tactics of these three “Big” interests.


So, if you have heard of CODEX at all, it may have been from industry or government or even trade group assurances that it is a hoax, beneficial to you, or even both. Don’t be misled by the massive disinformation campaign. It’s easy to just go along and rely on the opinions of so-called “experts”, the government and others, but as a veteran health advocate who has worked for years, like Dr. Mercola, to champion Natural Health, I can assure you that this is no time to take anything for granted or allow yourself to be lulled into complacency.


There is enough smoke about this issue – you will be hearing more about it here and elsewhere in the coming weeks – to warrant making this a priority to understand, act on and spread the word.


Who Stands To Gain The Most?


Pharmaceutical, agricultural and chemical companies, including the makers of Vioxx with a litany of 139,000 deaths, just accused by the House Committee on Government Reform of both withholding the truth and releasing misleading information about the increase heart attack dangers of this drug five years ago!


Dr. Sherri Tenpenny’s analysis: “Since it has become an indisputable scientific fact that NUTRITION is the best PREVENTION and CURE of disease, the owners of the “sickness industry” are determined to remove this ECONOMIC THREAT to their MONOPOLY CONTROL … by regulating nutrients out of the open marketplace and under the pharmaceutical umbrella where these nutrients become their property and they can exercise control over their availability.


CODEX is nothing more than “removing of all competition.” The issue is neither “safety” nor “protection.” Beware, for “He who protects you completely also OWNS you completely. i.h.”


Who Stands To Lose The Most?


We do. Our families and ourselves.


If we wait until there are no legal options besides drugs and contaminated foods, and no nutrients or ways to protect ourselves from pesticides, hormones and foreign genes in our food, how will we be able to keep our families and ourselves healthy?

What Can I DO?

Tell me Vis, are we as believers to take this "weapon formed against us" and focus all our attention on how we can defeat this, such as stock-piling vitamins, errecting gardens, etc, or are we to rely on our creator to not allow this to prosper against us?

 

[Ahavah]

I say..Learn how to make Colloidal Silver!!!!

Colloidal silver will be outlawed and I would not be surprised if it was by 2006.

 

[Sephania]

And what is that used for again?

 

[Shimshon]

I suppose this is the way people who arn't electroniclly sauve would have to address this situation. Sad thing is the price on the market is OUTRAGEOUS. It's just water, the fine silver rods costs less than $30 and last for years.

I can make one of those generaters for about $30 at the local electronics store, or radio shack. In fact, i'm doing so this weekend.

Zayit, it's used to make ionized silver water. You run a small voltage through fine silver as you submerse it in a glass of water. The silver sheds itself into the water. The ppm is related to the voltage and how long you leave the silver in. It is said to have HUGE healing properties. I for one have see it myself. People make it for themselves and usually drink about a glass a day. Some do more than that when ill.

We sprayed some on Chana's lip last week cause she bit it. It was healed by that very night. It's remedies are numerous. I believe it is an antibiotic. So the FDA is sticking it's nose in on this one. They don't want you to be able to fend for yourselves in any way.

 

[Ahavah]

And what is that used for again?

Collial Silver is great.
Visionary is the one who introduced me to it. Todah Vis!! It's really great.
You can use for anything..even on your pets..and IT's harmless.
I used it on baby ahavah's eyes when she had an infection..and within a coulple of days they were cleared up.
You can gargle with it for sore throats..you can use it for indigestion..use can use it for skin problems..and soOoOOOo much more.

Use it on a cat..or use it on a bat..you can use it with a box..a fox..a goat or a coat.
I AM SAM I AM

Silver-coated urinary catheters may prevent urinary tract infections (UTI) better than uncoated catheters. In addition, although they are more expensive, their use is likely to mean lower costs overall, according to a new study.

The use of silver-coated catheters resulted in a 47% decrease in the incidence of UTI.

Use of silver alloy catheters resulted in estimated cost savings of over $4 per patient compared with standard catheter use.

"The potential cost savings from this sort of research are tremendous because an episode of UTI increases length of stay so much," says David Nash, MD, MBA, to WebMD. "What's particularly good in this paper is the way they selected patients at highest risk as candidates for silver alloy catheters." Dr. Nash is associate dean of Jefferson Medical College in Philadelphia and director of its office of health policy.

Here is a little "silver" history.....

Past Medicinal Uses of Silver
During the past 2000 years, many civilizations have recognized the properties of silver in preventing diseases. For instance, the Romans used silver nitrate therapeutically, and the hermetic and alchemical writings of Paracelsus speak of the virtues of silver as a healing substance.

In the 1800s, several physicians discovered the antibacterial (antigerm) qualities of silver and applied them to their practice of medicine. They used silver nitrate successfully in the treatment of skin ulcers, compound fractures and suppurating (draining puss) wounds. In 1881, Carl Crede pioneered the installation of dilute silver nitrate in the eye of neonates to prevent gonorrheal ophthalmia, a technique which has been in widespread use ever since. Von Naegeli and others in 1893 realized that the antibacterial effects of silver were primarily due to the silver ion. He coined the term oligodynamic to mean that a small amount of silver is released from the metallic surface when placed in contact with liquids.

At the turn of the century, Dr. William Halstead, one of the founding fathers of modern surgery, advocated the use of silver foil dressings for wounds. These dressings were used extensively until just after World War II, and were listed in the Physician’s Desk Reference until 1955, when the use of antibiotics became widespread.

In the early 1970’s, Drs. Becker, Marino and Spadaro of the Veterans Administration Hospital in Syracuse, New York pioneered the study of silver-coated fabrics for the treatment of complex bone infections. Having studied with Dr. Becker, Dr. A. B. Flick began developing broader clinical applications for silver nylon fabrics in partnership with Dr. Becker during his Orthopedic Surgery residency training at the University of Vermont. Dr. Flick subsequently entered private practice and continued his research independently.

During roughly the same time, three other university centered research teams also investigated the wound healing properties of silver plated fabrics with the application of an electrical potential. Dr. Alvarez, at the Department of Dermatology, University of Miami, in 1985, studied the effect of electrically activated silver-coated fabrics on an animal model of partial thickness skin wounds in pigs. Dr. Marino and Dr. Albright, at the Department of Orthopedic Surgery, Louisiana State University 1983 - 1986, studied the effect of electrically activated silver plated fabrics on chronic bone infections in humans. Dr. Chu and Dr. McManus, at the Army Surgical Research Center, Fort Sam Houston 1989 - 1996, studied the effect of electrically activated and non-electrically activated silver-coated fabrics on several animal burn wound models.

Silver is a powerful, natural prophylactic/antibiotic, used for

thousands of years. Ancient Greeks lined their eating and

drinking vessels with silver, as did many other cultures

throughout the world.



Pioneers of the American West would put a silver dollar in a

jug of milk to keep it fresh without refridgeration.



Did you ever wonder why silverware was made from silver?

One of the properties of silver is that it kills bacteria on

contact in six minutes or less.

It may be that gold and

silver were first used as valued currency because of their

medical properties.


It also causes major growth stimulation of injured tissues.

Burn patients and even elderly patients notice more rapid

healing. And he discovered that all cancer cells can change

back to normal cells. All strains of pathogens resistant

to other antibiotics are killed by silver.



What is Colloidal Silver?



Colloidal Silver is the result of an electro-magnetic process

that pulls microscopic particles from a larger piece of silver

into a liquid, such as water. These microscopic particles

can more easily penetrate and travel throughout the body.



Colloidal Silver works as a catalyst, disabling the enzyme

that all one celled bacteria, fungi and viruses use for their

oxygen metabolism. In short, the bad guys suffocate. Unlike

with antibiotics, resistant strains have never been known to

develop.



In fact, antibiotics are only effective against perhaps a

dozen forms of bacteria and fungi, but never viruses. Because

no known disease-causing organism can live in the presence of

even minute traces of the chemical element of metallic silver,

Colloidal Silver is effective against more than 650 different

disease-causing pathogens.



Since there is not enough room to list all the diseases against

which Colloidal Silver has been used successfully, here is a

tiny sample: acne, allergies, appendicitis, arthritis, blood

parasites, bubonic plague, burns (colloidal silver is one of

the few treatments that can keep severe burn patients alive),

cancer,(10) cholera, conjunctivitis, diabetes, gonorrhea, hay

fever, herpes, leprosy, leukemia, lupus, lymphangitis, Lyme

disease, malaria, meningitis, parasitic infections both viral

and fungal, pneumonia, rheumatism, ringworm, scarlet fever,

septic conditions of the eyes, ears, mouth and throat, shingles,

skin cancer, staph infections, strep infections, syphilis,

toxemia, trenchfoot, all forms of viruses, warts and stomach

ulcer.



In addition it also has veterinary uses, such as for canine

parvo virus. You'll also find Colloidal Silver very handy in

the garden since it can be used against bacterial, fungal and

viral attacks on plants.



Simply spray diluted Colloidal Silver on the leaves, and add

to soil water.



It would appear highly unlikely that even germ warfare agents

could survive an encounter with Colloidal Silver, since viruses

like E Bola and Hanta, or even the dreaded "flesh-eating

bacteria" are, in the end, merely hapless viruses and bacteria.



To top it off, Colloidal Silver is virtually non-toxic, making

it safe for both children and adults, as well as pets.



In short, anything bigger than a one-cell animal seems to like it.



Nor does one have to worry about that FDA (Food and Drug

Administration) fox being put in charge of this home remedy hen

house. Colloidal Silver is a pre-1938 healing modality, making

it exempt from FDA jurisdiction under the grandfather clause.



So why haven't you heard of it?



I suspect the user friendly economics of Colloidal Silver may

have something to do with its low profile in the media. Colloidal

Silver can't help but shine a spotlight on the expensive and

deadly nature of our pharmaceutical industries, who are bigger

than the Pentagon economically.



For example, the pharmaceutical cartel's relentless promotion

of dangerous vaccines for humans and animals through government

programs have now been linked to everything from increasing crib

deaths in infants (who in many documented cases scream for hours

before dying), to the increasingly common disease, feline

leukemia, in house cats. Colloidal Silver, on the other hand,

is a safe and reliable alternative to expensive pharmeceuticals.



It is true that consuming large amounts over long periods of

time may kill some friendly bacteria in your intestines. If

taking large amounts, you should supplement your diet with

yogurt or acidophilus, or compensate for possible bacteria loss

in some other way.



This is not, however, a serious problem, and unlike antibiotics,

Colloidal Silver does not weaken the body's immune system. In

fact, it is said to give the body a second immune system,

creating a shield against disease of all kinds.



A good quality Colloidal Silver can be diluted as much as 8

to 1 and still be highly effective. An average adult dose might

be one or two ounces of concentrate mixed in an eight-ounce

glass of water, not more than three times a day. However, there

would appear to be a great deal of leeway here, since no toxic

dose is known.



Sadly, some Colloidal Silvers currently on the market have as

little as 1 part per million (ppm) and sell for as much as

$60.00 for eight ounces. However, thanks to physicist Bob

Beck's brilliantly simple design outlined below, you can now

construct your own generator and produce unlimited amounts

of high-quality Colloidal Silver concentrate. And for only

1/10th of a cent per gallon, plus the price of water!

Sorry, I thought my edit would answer that. I was referring to the doctors on these research teams:
