Yesterday, I put a note about this out asking for more investigation because it was hard to believe, but it appears its true, and this is the way they do it. Pass this on and get involved. Big Pharma wants to rule the world, and they don't care how many deadly drugs they put on the market and the fortune you have to pay to use them, and many times die. 100,000 died in a year from drug interaction. And remember that aspartame damages the mitochondria and interacts with drugs and vaccines. This has got to be stopped.

A HIGHLY URGENT Message... Posted By <http://articles.mercola.com/members/Dr.-Mercola/default.aspx>Dr. Mercola | October 26 2010 In less than a year, virtually all medicinal herbs will be illegal in the European Union. In their take-no-prisoners strategy to wipe out every penny of competition and gain complete control of the health of the people, Big Pharma and Agribusiness have scored a major win in Europe. Similar, potentially devastating battles are also underway in the U.S. How can this be happening? The secret weapon used by drug companies is trade law. According to Gaia Health: "Rather than treating food and traditional medicines as human rights issues, they have been treated as trade issues. That makes the desires of large corporations the focus of food and herbal law, rather than the needs and desires of people. It's this twisting that has resulted in the FDA's making outrageously absurd statements, such as claiming that Cheerios and walnuts quite literally become drugs simply because of health claims made for them." Sources: <http://gaia-health.com/articles301/000301-big-pharma-scores-big-win-medicinal-herbs-disappear-eu.shtml>Gaia Health September 12, 2010 And once the EU enacts this law, I can strongly assure you the United States will not be far behind. In essence, this Directive creates new rules and regulations for herbal products and nutritional supplements that were previously traded freely. Any supplier within the EU who wants to sell their product to another European country will need to get a license for each and every supplement they sell. In fact, under this Directive, all supplements and herbal preparations must go through the same licensing procedure as pharmaceutical drugs. In TCM and Ayurvedic formulas that contain a number of herbs, each herb would have to be licensed separately. You Can Take Action Now! If you value your access to herbs, vitamins and other nutritional supplements, please do not remain on the sidelines. Take action! <http://www.anhinternational.org/>The Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-I) and <http://www.benefyt.eu/>the European Benefyt Foundation (EBF) are actively fighting to stop the implementation of the EU Traditional Herbal Medicinal Products Directive (THMPD). You can download their <http://www.anh-europe.org/files/100831-ANH-Benefyt-THMPD-position-paper.pdf>joint position paper here. The following <http://gaia-health.com/articles301/000301-big-pharma-scores-big-win-medicinal-herbs-disappear-eu.shtml>Action Steps were provided by Gaia Health: 1. If you live in Europe, please send a letter or call your Member of the European Parliament. You can determine who your MEP is, and get his or her contact information <http://www.europarl.europa.eu/members/public/geoSearch.do;jsessionid=50F6E51D0275A7C2377045FF0081B2F7.node1>here. Tell your MEP that you support the ANH and want the implementation of THMPD suspended. Ask your representative to take a stand in support of your right to choose herbal treatments and your right to buy nutritional supplements. To make it faster and easier for you, the ANH via Gaia Health offers this <http://gaia-health.com/articles301/000301-sampleletter.rtf>prewritten sample letter, which you can modify and individualize to your own liking. There is also a <http://gaia-health.com/articles301/000301-sampleletterspanish.rtf>Spanish version, provided by Denice Delay for Gaia Health. 2. For further information, you may contact: o The Alliance for Natural Health International (ANH-I) Sophie Middleton (campaign administrator), tel +44(0)1306 646 600 or email info@anhinternational.org o The European Benefyt Foundation (EBF) Chris Dhaenens or Harrie Sandh , Tel +31 320 251 313 or email: info@benefyt.eu Unfortunately, I do not have any action items for my American readers, other than to stay vigilant and become involved in any and all legislation that pertains to your right to supplements and <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2009/04/02/Monsantos-Dream-Bill--HR-875.aspx>natural organic food in the US. Ditto for all of you <http://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2008/06/19/vitamin-c-about-to-be-made-illegal-in-canada.aspx>who live in Canada. Hopefully, the EU will stop this assault on our freedom to choose, which will make it more difficult to enact similar types of legislation here in the US. «¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤» § Health_and_Healing - PULSE ON 21st CENTURY ALTERNATIVE MEDICINE & WORLD NEWS http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Health_and_Healing Subscribe send email to: Health_and_Healing-subscribe@yahoogroups.com DETOX WITH ALL NATURAL PURE GREEN CALCIUM BENTONITE CLAY USED INTERNAL/EXTERNAL http://clayadvantage.com/ THE OPEN LINE NEWSPAPER, HEALTH NEWS, SPIRITUAL, ENVIRONMENT, ETC. http://WWW.THEOPENLINE.ORG ENERGY HEALING TECHNIQUE FOR CHRONIC PAIN, PTSD & OTHER ISSUES THAT TROUBLE YOU. http://vibrantenergy.webs.com
