“The battle against Codex Alimentarius in the USA has been lost. Congress near the end of the 2006 legislative session passed the Codex legislation. Big Pharma is brilliantly managed. My guess is they will not risk a major confrontation with the American public at this time. They will probably simply slowly begin to mop up the companies that compose the more than 30 billion dollars in sales a year by the alternative health industry. This means that companies in the U.S. that create the alternative health supplements which keep millions away from needing pharmaceutical drugs will slowly and steadily receive mafia type offers to sell out for money or be closed down. Those that sell out will notice that their products are still available but will require a prescription from a physician to order and will be priced 10 times higher than their previous price. This pattern of operation has already been established in Germany and Norway (two nations that have powerful pharmaceutical operations).” (02/27/07)
