Save Vitamin C!

New legislation may make it impossible to buy vitamins without a doctor's prescription.


Codex Alimentarius is new legislation the United Nations is trying to pass worldwide which will severely restrict the availability of nutritional supplements. The ultimate goal is to make them only available through doctors and thus, only sold by pharmaceutical companies. The implications of this are astounding. Imagine if you didn't have the freedom to use nutritional supplements as a means of preventing disease. Think about if you had to go to the doctor to get an Rx for Vitamin C. Isn't avoiding a doctor's visit the whole point of using vitamins? This legislation will make pharmaceutical companies even more powerful and it will make it impossible for nutritionist to do their job. Where does it end? Will we end up needing an Rx for an orange? If you value your freedom to take charge of your own health, please look into this.
