PostHeaderIcon CAFTA: The End of Your Vitamins?

Recently, The United States Congress and Senate passed the CentralAmerican Free Trade Agreement (CAFTA). An agreement which actually restricts and regulates trade, contains a clause which willultimately cost You Your health.CAFTA plus the Codex Alimentarius Commission spells disaster.This clause forces U.S. dietary supplement regulations to get in linewith international standards set by the codex commission. These international standards have already been put in place in Europe. Are You aware that retailers in Europe can now be prosecuted if theysell supplements which have too much Calcium? or too muchVitamin B6′the clauses in this agreement may very well put an end toYourFreedom to purchase Natural, healthy and proven safe supplementswithout a prescription. Thats right, only your doctor would be allowed to prescribe supplements.And these supplements, by law, will only be allowed to contain tinyamounts of nutrients which will be too small to do Your body any good.Consider this quote from 2 time Nobel Prize winning chemist,Linus Pauling.”Recommended daily allowances only give levels of vitamins andminerals that will prevent death or serious illness from vitamin deficiency.To get real health benefits from vitamins, you need to get more thanjust the minimum recommended amounts.” Realize that this agreement will also wipe out thousands of smallbusinesses including Doctors of Natural health.Does this sound like free trade to You’supplements are made from food and herbs the things Youcook and eat. Will food be next on the restricted/banned list?Its not a question of if these clauses will be implemented, Itswhen.Consider also what Congressman Ron Paul of Texas, also a medicalDoctor, wrote about CAFTA.”The largely government-run health care establishment, including thenominally private pharmaceutical companies, want government to controlthe dietary supplement industry – so that only they can manufacture anddistribute supplements. If that happens, as it already is happening in Europe,the supplements you now take will be available only by prescription and at amuch higher cost – if they are available at all. This alone is sufficient reasonfor Congress to oppose the unconstitutional, sovereignty-destroyingCAFTA bill.” Congress and the Senate ignored the United States Constitution,trampled Your Freedoms and passed the bill anyway. These are the legislators You elected who swore an oath to uphold the Constitutionof the United States of America.Sources: John Herring, Early to Rise 8/15 & 8/18/2005Amanda Ross, Nutrition and Healing e-tips8/25/2005Global Healing Centerhttp://www.ghchealth.com/cafta/cafta-codex.php About the author: ============================================= Lee Cummings has been helping real people solve real problems and feel better with proven nutrition for over 5 years.

Premature aging and wrinkling of the skin may be accelerated by excessive exposure to the sun and other elements, overactive facial expression muscles, the frequent use of tobacco products, poor nutrition, or skin disorders. Regardless of the cause of facial creases or folds, safe and successful treatments for reduction or elimination of these problems are now available with the help of a Facial Plastic Surgeon. Injecting or implanting substances which either temporarily weaken the muscles or act as skin volume fillers serve to soften or eliminate the appearance of wrinkles and produce a more youthful, rejuvenated appearance. There are several tropical medicines and creams on the market that are created for the treatment of wrinkles .Of course the first key is sunscreen. If its light outside, no matter the cloudy factor, you need sunscreen. Look for moisturizer with an SPF of 15 or higher.To keep wrinkles from worsening, look for products with ingredients (like Retinoids, Retin-A, Renova) that boost collagen production and prevent skin cells from breaking down. Matrixyl (found in the product Alria) is a newer ingredient that is becoming very popular and is touted as being great for sensitive skin. Alpha-hydroxy acids are common. These are “fruit acids” and include glycolic and lactic acid. Preparations containing these fruit acids are quite safe and cause no more than mild and temporary irritation. Keep in mind that the improvements you’ll notice are relatively subtle. To prevent skin cell breakdown, you also want products rich in antioxidants & beta-carotene. Vitamins A, C & E as well as plant, fruit, green tea, seaweed & marine extracts are all great antioxidants. Another popular antioxidant is Prevage, a prescription cream that is made with idebenone, a synthetic antioxidant that is touted as being very effective.
