Good News on the Codex Front
(This post is an excerpt from the Natural Solutions Foundation newsletter 3.3.08 To learn about the dangerous threat of Codex, see "Codex Alimentarius Summarized in 7 Points" www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php

One of the most successful battle fronts in Codex is the adamant determination of much of the rest of the world NOT to allow either any GM food (like Benin, for example) or unlabeld GM food (like Norway, Switzerland, the EU, Japan, Russia and many other countries. The US has been fighting to impose its anti-consumer policies of forbidding any labeling of GM foods because consumers reject it if they know they are eating genetically modified "Franken Foods". So when the African nations laid the ground work for inactivating the mine field the US was setting for them in the wording of a document it was proposing, things were looking quite hopeful, at least on that front.

After the meeting was over we went to Benin, a country with a moratorium on GM foods. We brought advanced technology to see if it would increase the crop yield, increase the nutrient density and decrease the water use in that dry and hungry country as part of the Natural Solutions Foundation's effort to reclaim healthy, sustainable food production. This is part of our International Decade of Nutrition. Of course, we were working with government people as well as private ones to make this happen.

The head of the Beninese food safety and security program is a remarkable veterinarian trained in human nutrition in the US. He has a limited staff but a huge commitment to protecting his country's food. He asked if we could provide information in French giving him reasons that his position opposing GM foods makes scientific sense (which Benin will need to follow the Codex Two Step Process on GM issues) and I said, "Yes!" That's why we started the Natural Solutions Foundation GM Files.
Here are the links to the GM Files I have compiled so far, starting with Dr. Mae Wan Ho's excellent summary:

This is a big (and very important) project with huge potential impact and your help is both needed and most welcome! If you can do the research to supply documents that we can add to the GM files in electronic format (or if you can translate these documents into French), please write to Kathy Greene, my assistant, akathy.greene@usa.net to volunteer your help. Just put "GM Files" in the subject line and let her know if you are interested in research or translation (or perhaps both!)

If you already know about the dangers of eating (and growing) GM foods, please pass these data on to others. In case you think that GM foods are tested for safety by the FDA (they are not) or are not part of your food supply (they are found in 60-80% if all US prepared foods unless you eat an all organic diet), please take some time to read these GM Files. The good news is that more and more people at home and abroad are "getting it" about GM foods and don't want to be part of the largest experiment in human history - without benefit of informed consent or insurance.

Good News In Action

The Natural Solutions Foundation is about solutions. Our solutions are natural so they work! And part of our solutions are the action steps that we provide for you to let legislators know what you want (health freedom to make your own health choices) and what you do not want (including compulsory screening, drugging and vaccination.

Here are some good news statistics: 129,101 people support our right to know how nutrients and supplements can benefit us and support Ron Paul's bill HR 2117, the Health Freedom Protection Act which not only guarantees free speech but forces the FDA to allow scientifically based information instead of prohibiting that information as they do now. Click here (salsa.democracyinaction.org/o/56...n.jsp ) to join nearly 139,000 people in urging their Congresspeople to become co-sponsors of this important law.

Another bit of good news: we've finally got the amazing Songhai video posted on the Natural Solutions YouTube Channel. You must see this demonstration of Fr. Godfrey's completely sustainable, beyond organic, natural solutions to integrated farming communities! Go to: youtube.com/naturalsolutions and scroll down to "Videos" to see what can be done to produce food properly, Fr. Godfrey is going to work with us to set us the sustainable zero emissions system in the Santa Clara Project (see below for more on that project).

588,832 people used our website to tell the FDA its CAM Guidance, allowing the FDA to declare nutrients "untested drugs" if they were used for health benefits was unacceptable. Recently the FDA forced two companies to stop making and marketing products for diabetics made from cherry juice because the products turned cherry juice into an untested drug by stating the health benefit derived from using it. More action is clearly needed: half a million voices were not enough to counter Big Pharma. Five million would be more like it. That means you need to get your circle of influence activated. Ask them to go to www.HealthFreedomUSA.org and subscribe to the free Health Freedom eAlerts (www.healthfreedomusa.org/index.php ) and get involved in protecting their health and their freedom before there is nothing left to protect.
