<<< Back to Codex

According to a recent e-mail alert by John C. Hammell, President of the International Advocates for Health
Freedom, several anti-Codex groups may have been intentionally advising anti-Codex activists on ways to oppose
the vitamin-banning regulations that were ineffective and even counter-productive. Hammell argues that the
Natural Solutions Foundation (NSF) and Citizens for Health (CFH) had been offering unworkable advice on stopping
the anti-vitamin regulations that are taking effect in Europe and may soon bite in the United States as well.
He even argues that such organizations may have received secret funding from wealthy Codex supporters. And these
could even include members of wealthy, industrial families who are increasingly known to seek regulations
worldwide that will damp competition to certain companies and trans-national industrial enterprises while
exempting their own.
Prior to the recent ratification of the Codex, vitamin-regulation document, both the NSF and CFH were
advising people to petition Dr. Ed Scarbrough, the U.S. Codex Chairman, not to support it. Because each of
about 100 countries meeting to discuss Codex had a single vote, petitioning one unelected official was not
an effective way to halt the Codex agenda even if Scarbrough was brought on board. According to Hammel,
both the NSF and CFH have ties with certain American intelligence officials - and setting up entities to
infiltrate or confuse certain target groups is a time-honored intelligence trick.These are U.S. officials,
Hammel claims, who have been known to work with internationalist forces and their backers in the past to
drive power and influence to organizations that are fairly or entirely unaccountable to U.S. law and domestic
governance. Globalists such as the Rockefellers and other prominent wealthy families are said to be prominent
among the supporters of these actions, Hammell believes.
Hammell maintains the only productive method for stopping Codex from having an impact on the U.S. natural
health care industry is to petition the U.S. Congress. While the massive campaign that unfolded against the
Central American Free-Trade Agreement did not carry the day, there have been numerous reports that those
Administration and legislative officials in favor of the internationalist agenda were stunned by the
vehemence of the public’s opposition to the trade treaty. It was only certain last minute maneuvering
that saved CAFTA, but the plan to put the next phase of the “Americas agenda” in place has been
significantly slowed and may even have been brought to a halt for much if not all of the rest of
the Bush Administration. An assault against Codex of the same magnitude might have a similar chilling
effect, Hammell believes. Supporters of Codex claim that its effects will not be nearly as Draconian as
they are made out to be, and that international governance is increasingly and inevitably a fact of
21st-century life.
